The Silicomancer’s Apprentice

About The Silicomancer’s Apprentice

Margaret is an apprentice glassmaker in her family’s shop, unsure about the future expected of her. She certainly never expected destiny to come knocking.

Berzelius is an aging man of science on the royal court, ridiculed for his obsession with the long-lost secrets of crafting magical pearls. He needs Margaret’s help with a science experiment, which could be his last chance for redemption.

Then, a near-invincible enemy attacks the walled city they call home.

With a bit of unexpected help, the defending troops fend off the initial onslaught, but now the city is surrounded. As the siege wears on, and food supplies dwindle, tensions rise among the townspeople.

With time running out, Margaret and Berzelius must unravel the pearls’ mysteries before the city falls forever.

Dreams Beneath the Veil

About Dreams Beneath the Veil

FREE Nov 5-9!

Ravenna’s gift as an oracle has never been reliable, yet when a dead prince appears in her visions, she may be the only one who can unravel the mystery around his death. But there’s another figure that haunts her dreams–one that fills her with both longing and dread. When she’s invited to the capital, she’s determined to uncover the truth about this mysterious stranger as well as the crown prince.

Tasked with escorting her, Corbin’s loyalty is divided between his country and his gods. He walks the knife’s edge between duty and treason. Solving the crown prince’s murder should be his priority, but he has his own secrets to keep–and his fascination with Ravenna threatens to uncover them all.

As attraction between them grows, so does the danger around them. The road is long and lined with horrors–things that creep and crawl through the mists of the Veil. And in the distant capital, a demon awaits.

Ghosts of War by Mike Belasko

About Ghosts of War by Mike Belasko

From the blood-soaked alleys of Charlotte to the fortified compounds of Mexico, Jack wages a one-man war against Miguel Delgado’s empire. Stash houses burn. Distribution networks collapse. Enforcers die in the dark, never seeing the bullet coming. Jack moves through the criminal underworld like a ghost—silent, relentless, unstoppable.

But Delgado didn’t build a billion-dollar empire by being easy to kill. As Jack’s body count rises, the cartel strikes back with overwhelming force, turning Charlotte’s streets into a war zone where the innocent die alongside the guilty. The violence spirals. The casualties mount. And somewhere between the first kill and the last, Jack crosses a line he can never uncross—where justice becomes vengeance, and vengeance becomes something far darker.

The Adventures of Good Eagle and Miss Starling

About The Adventures of Good Eagle and Miss Starling

HE ADVENTURES OF GOOD EAGLE AND MISS STARLING
Montana, 1847

When my life is turned upside down, I have no one to turn to except Uncle Jed, a fur-trader who lives deep in Indian Country; a man I have never met. I was expecting to be greeted by my Uncle Jed at a place called Fort Union, a fur-trading fort some two thousand miles above St. Louis. But, when I finally arrive at the fort, I am met, instead, by an eighteen-year-old Indian, Good Eagle, who swears my uncle has sent him to meet me. Would you trust this boy, a youth only two years older than my sixteen years? I certainly didn’t and I told him so. However, although I was polite, he took offense.

As the steamboat continues its way to my uncle’s fur-trading post, Fort Lewis, the Indian boy, Good Eagle, has declared that my heart has panther’s claws around it. Yet, though he seems to dislike me as much as I do him, because of the promise he gave to my uncle, he has no option but to guard me.

But, when my life is threatened and Good Eagle saves me, I experience a change of heart about this young man; I decide I will “bury the hatchet” and become friends with him. Imagine my surprise when he refuses my offer of friendship.

Can I ever change Good Eagle’s mind about becoming my friend? Or will his first impression of me remain to forever haunt us?

One Night Stand with my Ex’s Billionaire Dad by Nina Rose

About One Night Stand with my Ex’s Billionaire Dad by Nina Rose

Ruby Mason is a talented screenwriter fighting to break into Hollywood’s elite. On the night she finally gets her big break—a meeting with top agent Sarah Mitchell—her boyfriend, Lucas Kane, fails to show up to celebrate. It’s the last disappointment she’s willing to take.
Heartbroken but determined, Ruby lets her best friend drag her to a Hollywood party to toast her success. There, she meets Adrian—a magnetic, older stranger with dark eyes, silver at his temples, and a quiet intensity she can’t resist. One night of reckless passion changes everything. She leaves before sunrise, convinced she’ll never see him again.
Until Lucas tries to win her back. In a misguided attempt to impress her, he contacts his estranged father—legendary film producer Adrian Kane—and asks him to meet with a “talented young writer.”
Neither of them expects Ruby to walk into that meeting.
Adrian built his empire on control and sacrifice, but seeing Ruby again ignites something he thought long buried. They swear it was a mistake—one night, never to be repeated—but the chemistry between them refuses to fade. Every glance burns hotter. Every meeting pulls them deeper.
When their secret threatens to collide with Hollywood gossip and Adrian’s fragile relationship with his son, Ruby faces a devastating truth: her late-night nausea isn’t stress. She is carrying Adrian’s child.
With reputations, careers, and a family at stake, Ruby and Adrian must decide—protect the secret that could destroy them, or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to happen.

The Painted Smile: Fun for Some — Horror for Others, by Heinrich Wilson

About The Painted Smile: Fun for Some — Horror for Others, by Heinrich Wilson

From the ancient rituals of painted warriors to the eerie grin of the modern clown, humanity has always worn masks — not just to hide, but to survive. The Painted Smile traces the haunting evolution of the human face as canvas, weapon, and confession. What began as sacred art became entertainment, and finally, fear — the strange psychology that turned laughter into horror and joy into disguise.

Through history, psychology, and philosophy, Heinrich Wilson explores how color and illusion shaped civilization — from tribal pigments and religious pageantry to propaganda, cosmetics, and digital filters. Why do we trust a smile we know is fake? Why does the mask comfort us more than the truth behind it? And what happens when all illusions finally fade?

Blending dark history with poetic insight, The Painted Smile reveals a mirror we’ve avoided for centuries: that humanity’s greatest invention wasn’t fire or faith — it was the ability to pretend beautifully.

Some smiles are art. Some are armor.
And some, once painted, never come off.

Murder at the Maplewood Bake-Off

About Murder at the Maplewood Bake-Off

Murder Never Tasted So Sweet

Ivy Sinclair thought life in Maplewood, Maine, would be quiet—newspaper columns. Dog walks with her beagle, Watson. Friendly neighbors and cozy town traditions.

But when the fiftieth annual baking competition begins, celebration turns deadly. Luna, a sharp-tongued judge, collapses—poisoned before dessert was served.

The police might ignore Ivy’s instincts, but she trusts her gut—and Watson’s bark. A strange bottle of mead, a cryptic note, and a victim with far too many foes tell her this case is anything but simple.

Luna was notorious for feuds and complaints. Alice, Ivy’s neighbor and star baker, had once been her friend before rivalry set in. Elmer, the grouchy beekeeper, fought with her over wildflowers and honey.

Digging deeper, Ivy uncovers secrets buried among Maplewood’s flowers and honeycombs. The murderer still roams free.

She must find the killer before someone else pays the price.
