What if the answers you’re desperate for could cost you the only people who finally feel like home?

Seventeen-year-old Jake Moonlux is tired of living like a secret. Hiding his magic on the Blank side, surviving a controlling father, and being told “rules” are what matter most.

The problem is… Jake has never been good at rules. If someone draws a line, he’s already deciding how to cross it.

​

So when a chance opens to reach Helligdom, Jake grabs it. After all, this is what he wanted his whole life. Helligdom was his dream, the place he knew he belonged.

Helligdom is breathtaking… and brutal. It’s a place where power has politics, trust has a price, and danger doesn’t always announce itself until it’s too late.

​

But Jake doesn’t face it alone. Sam Wotcher becomes his first real friend. Sam and Sam’s family show Jake what “home” can feel like, in a way he didn’t realize he’d been craving his whole life.

​

And Amelia Ashbourne is something else entirely: sharp, guarded, and impossible to fool. She has the kind of stare that makes lies feel like a hobby you should quit. She challenges Jake at every turn… and still ends up standing beside him when it matters most.

​

Whispers of a forbidden ritual, old “accidents,” missing people, and a Council that’s far too practiced at pretending nothing is wrong slip into Jake’s new life, souring his happiness and making him ask the questions he was never meant to ask.

​

And somewhere in the shadows, magic has slipped into the wrong hands, born from a mistake that should have stayed buried. Someone is collecting power, testing the island’s defenses, and dreaming bigger than any mage in Helligdom would ever dare.

​

As danger closes in, Jake’s rebellion stops being a personality trait and starts becoming a liability… for everyone he’s finally begun to care about, and for the island itself. And the closer Jake gets to the answers, the more it feels like the terror did not follow him in. It was waiting for him.

​

Jake came to Helligdom for the truth, but when his own magic turns against him, who will he become to protect the people he can’t afford to lose?

Then government security servers melt down. NSA agents become convinced Doug and his wife are dangerous spies. But Doug is sure he'd never kill anyone or believe aliens exist. Could he be half right?

One problem is that an astronomer just discovered the background static of the universe is actually unfathomably complex, interstellar communications, definitive proof of alien life, and that professor is... Doug's wife, Lena Fierro. 

Why would he want to turn down a trillion-dollar cosmic bribe, yet still conceal the truth from the world?

How did five older women called the Marvelous Mavens convince confident PhD candidate Darly Lane that she is an idiot?

Weeks earlier, she was roaring through her PhD, kindling a romance with her hot advisor, and planning a great summer with her Boston roommates. In short, a perfect time to embark on a resume builder. She revived her late mother’s academic project about the women’s movement, expecting no new revelations.

The five strangers she brought together to question prove to be confounding. Their wine-fueled meetings threaten her rigid academic methods. They unload decades of messy truths about career, marriage, motherhood, friendship, and sex. Their candor causes Darly to question her most basic assumptions.

The Mavens flourish in their new association, but Darly’s career, romance, and mental health languish.

The two generations can heal each other. But, will they?

Join Miso and Kili, two adventurous and skilled pilots as they soar through the skies on wondrous journeys! Set forth on a trip to a mysterious island inhabited by wild kitty cats and have an unforgettable adventure!

Seti I is most frequently known as the father of Ramesses II, but in fact, he was a great pharaoh himself, though with a relatively short reign of just eleven years. A great warrior king, a strategic thinker, and a man who knew the life of the ordinary people, he was an extraordinary ruler. His brand was excellence, and he used that in many forms to win his people to a king who was not born royal. A warrior with the soul of an artist, his Great Hypostyle Hall at Karnak is a wonder. His tomb in the Valley of the Kings is the most beautiful, with a burial chamber referred to as the "Sistine Chapel of Ancient Egypt." His mortuary temple in Abydos venerates the main deities of old Egypt with some of that ancient culture's most beautiful raised relief art.

It is that temple, the Temple of Seti, that forms the structure of this novel which attempts to recreate the diary of the pharaoh. It is written on the temple walls that the king kept a diary and had it hidden somewhere in the temple. As yet it has not been found, but one can easily imagine the king in the solitude of the night writing of his life, as he realizes his shortness of breath and pressure in the chest may mean it is the last year of that magnificent life. Temple in the Sand, the Memoirs of a Pharaoh is a tribute to the mysterious and beautiful sacred structure built by Pharaoh Seti I in Abydos and to the man behind the royal regalia.

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Desiree Devine vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.

Surrounded by three white men one night, she’s rescued by Tony Marino, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.
