A NEW YORK LADY IN HELLDORADO by V.C. Williams
A notorious killer changed the life of a young Victorian woman. Sarah Herring, now forgotten, was the first woman to win a case in the US Supreme Court without a man’s help. But the young New York schoolteacher didn’t get there overnight. It took hard work and guts.
Arriving in Tombstone in October 1881, Sarah discovers the streets of the Territory’s richest town are not paved in silver but soaked in blood. Finding her purpose here seems crazy. Despite her mother’s schemes, it’s not marriage. But when idealistic, intelligent Sarah is enlisted by her attorney father to help Wyatt Earp, charged with murder, her perspective begins to change. The horrific news reported by Thomas Sorin, Sarah’s friend and an attractive distraction, makes national headlines while she faces threats from Wyatt’s jealous mistress and deadly outlaws. Wyatt’s shocking honesty opens her mind to her strength and passion: the law. But Thomas is a surprise. She loves him, too
Believing in Sarah and her dream, Thomas convinces her to pursue the law while he chases his mining ambitions, delaying marriage. But her father coldly refuses to tutor her, treating her request as a passing fancy. Searching out other options, she finds more closed doors and reluctantly returns to teaching. She feels lost and alone. Yet, when tragedy strikes, Sarah demonstrates that a lady of honor and charm can show the men they might have it wrong.

CYNTHIA’S SEARCH by V.C. Williams
Cynthia Jones is a young woman in a hurry to find freedom. Having graduated from a stifling Catholic girls’ boarding school in Quebec in 1948, this Kansas City girl is fluent in French. Despite what her conservative parents want, she sails to France to find the significance and independence she craves. But instead of excitement, she finds Geoff, a conventional though attractive Navy Vet with plans to enter the US Foreign Service. When the actions of her drunken father sabotage her Paris dreams, she settles for Geoff’s marriage proposal, hoping for a life in exotic foreign lands. She doesn’t love him, but he will do anything for her. Seven years and two sons later, restless and resentful, Cynthia discovers her dream when they move to Cambodia in 1958. She learns to fly from a Frenchman with a mysterious, possibly criminal past, but nothing is more important than her newfound independence.
Finding fame as a fearless jungle pilot, she neglects her sons and belittles her husband, doing exactly as she pleases. Oblivious to the Frenchman’s increasing possessiveness, she is blindsided when it turns ugly and dangerous. When tragedy lands at her front door, she can no longer avoid the consequences of her selfish actions. The young family is jerked from Cambodia and dropped into Bangkok, where everyone, especially Cynthia, lives a lonely, isolated existence. But after moving to Morocco, Cynthia, hoping it isn’t too late, struggles to find redemption and something that has always been out of her grasp. Peace

About The Half-Known Life: What Matters Most When You’re Running Out of Time
“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.
The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.

Shifted by Adrienne Woods
Seventeen-year-old Sophie Emerson never imagined her life would take such a magical turn. At Earwyn Academy of Concordia, she discovers she’s a Spirit fae with powers she barely understands. While the idea of being magical is exciting, Sophie quickly learns the reality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Between the constant headaches triggered by her clairvoyant abilities and the strange visions she experiences, things are starting to get overwhelming.
Sophie’s dreams offer disturbing glimpses of herself surrounded by nine other children, all channeling their powers into her, transforming her into a dangerous monster destined to destroy Concordia. She has no idea what it means, but it’s terrifying, especially when she starts seeing the connections to real-life events.
When three children from her village go missing, Sophie discovers the truth—the Dark Griffin, an ancient and powerful creature, has been abducting children for years, using their powers to create an unstoppable weapon. Sophie realizes that she’s the final piece of the puzzle, the last child needed to complete the Griffin’s ultimate weapon: a being that will have the power to kill the king and wreak havoc on the entire kingdom.
Suddenly, Sophie wakes up locked in a cell with the nine other children, each one playing a part in the Griffin’s deadly plan. If she doesn’t find a way to escape, she will become the very monster she’s been trying to avoid. With time running out, Sophie must come up with a strategy to stop the Dark Griffin, save the kidnapped children, and prevent herself from being transformed into the ultimate weapon.
Being magical wasn’t part of the plan. Sophie would have preferred a normal life, thank you very much.

About Alive … for a Reason by Jaiden Jackson Smith
Synopsis
ALIVE FOR A REASON…
What You Don’t Know May Kill You and it’s Not The Pandemic: Julia’s Story
You don’t have to die… like Julia, who almost died.
Julia’s story, expressed in a casual style, is about the rapid onset of a rare, near-catastrophic blood disorder. She informs readers about this dangerous sickness by peppering her thoughts, and discussions with the hematologist who treated her and the friends who cared and prayed for her.
The narrative blends important information about this mostly unheard-of disorder. Julia mixes in what she believes was the root cause of her illness with explanations of the internal autoimmune dysfunction that caused her to be at the doorstep of death. She tells readers about the paranormal experiences that occurred during the most critical stage of the illness. Some parts amuse the reader and yet create a sense of the heightened gravity of her sudden illness.
This work of creative nonfiction uses chapters and biblical verses to represent each phase of Julia’s journey toward her battle to get well. The selected scriptures are guideposts that introduce Julia’s determination to live. She says her faith helped her survive the odds.
This arresting drama combines the fierce energy of Julia’s punctured being and weaves a brocade of empathy and humor. It further awakens what it means to be a woman of color coping in a world that believes that individuals who differ from themselves have a license to treat other people as though they’re unseen.
The story begins when three companions rescue Julia from what could have been certain death. Julia says it is her purpose to tell others about this true-to-life event. A sudden onset without warning carries a 90% mortality rate if it is not immediately identified and treated.
The autoimmune complication is called … wait for it… thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. The acronym is TTP.
Julia says she felt like she was battling the biblical character of Goliath. She realizes her compounded mental and physical decline.
Julia’s narrative is a mental exchange between her viewpoints while she is in an altered state of mind. Julia also says she had out-of-body experiences. She sees the origins of the disorder through the lens of the emotional trauma occurring throughout her life. Julia explains how she experienced incidents from her past while standing behind a supernatural door with her hand around an antique crystal doorknob and feeling drawn into its prism.
Julia awakens to the truth of the effect persistent stress, depression, and anxiety have had on her body. She knows with certainty that her life stressors led to her immune system turning against itself, mutating into a frightful physical collapse.
The reader senses Julia’s unshakable belief that she will overcome her diminished intellectual competencies. Julia reveals the effects of being diagnosed with mental deterioration, the result of a brain hemorrhage induced by TTP.
This is a powerful message for everyone. The illness can happen to anyone. People from nations, including the United States, where TTP incidents have occurred, don’t have to succumb to an untraceable cause. She emphasizes the need for medical professionals to diagnose TTP accurately and treat it urgently.
Beyond Julia’s illness lies a story of her faith in God, self-determination, and the reign of triumph.
This is Julia’s story.

1242. After being wounded in the Battle on the Ice, Richard Fitz Simon becomes a prisoner of Prince Alexander Nevsky of Novgorod. Alexander, intrigued by his captive’s story, instructs his scholar to assist Richard in writing about his life.
Richard’s chronicle begins in 1203, when his training to be a knight is disrupted by treachery. He is forced to flee England for Lübeck, where he begins work for a greedy salt merchant. After an illicit love affair, his new life is thrown into turmoil, and he joins the Livonian Brothers of the Sword as they embark on imposing the will of God on the pagans of the eastern Baltic. Here, he must reconcile with his new life of prayer, danger and duty – despite his own religious doubts, with as many enemies within the fortified commandery as the wilderness outside. However, when their small outpost in Riga is threatened by a large pagan army, Richard is compelled to make a crucial decision and fight like never before.
