Magic, Mirth & Mayhem by Susie Swenson

Magic, Mirth & Mayhem by Susie Swenson

A divorced witch. A talking house. A seaside town full of secrets. Welcome to Havenwood Cove—where starting over might just be the most magical thing of all.

After her marriage implodes on her fortieth birthday, Sera Blackthorn swears off men, mortgages, and mayhem. But when an unexpected job offer lures her to a fog-draped coastal town, she discovers Havenwood Cove is anything but ordinary. The Victorian house she’s meant to restore can talk, her grandmother’s past is tangled with the town’s mysteries, and the locals include far too many magical beings who claim Sera’s destiny is tied to theirs.

Armed with stubborn hope, one sassy cat, and a growing sense that magic is real—Sera sets out to rebuild her life. But as shadows stir beneath the forest’s roots, she’ll need more than a cup of tea to survive the mayhem to come.

Filled with humor, heart, and a dash of witchy wonder, Magic, Mirth & Mayhem is perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, found family, and women reinventing themselves one magical mishap at a time.

Come On In, Don’t Get Lonesome by Lauri Cruver Cherian

Come On In, Don’t Get Lonesome by Lauri Cruver Cherian

Come On In, Don’t Get Lonesome, by Lauri Cruver Cherian, is an historical novel loosely based on ancestral history. The author’s great grandparents ran the Old Alpha boarding house in the heart of Tacoma, Washington in 1910. Immigrants flocked to the City of Destiny for jobs in lumber mills, the railroad, fishing, boat building, and shipping. Each new boarder was greeted with, “Come on in, don’t get lonesome.” Considered the little princess of the Old Alpha, six-year-old Myrtle is a central figure in the book. Her life as the endearing daughter of the hospitable proprietors of the Old Alpha, intertwines with those of the borders of many cultures, and their immigration stories, amidst the hustle and bustle of this boom town. Everyday activities, as well as special events, outings, and poignant moments are sprinkled throughout this period tale, immersing one in the customs and norms of the time in Tacoma and Gig Harbor, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding area.

Dead Faith Alive Again: Journal of Faith, Love and Suffering

About Dead Faith Alive Again: Journal of Faith, Love and Suffering

This journal is a collection of faith-based thoughts. It includes thoughts on Jesus Christ and His goodness, the morality of judgement, the meaning of suffering, just how deep love goes and many more topics. It also includes some of my experiences with the spiritual world and the way God has blessed my life.

This title isn’t written like a typical book. Rather, it is a collection of ideas that I wrote down in notebooks as they came to me over a period of years. I decided to write my inspirations down so that I could keep track of them.

From the book:
“Living faith is faith in action… love in action. Dead faith is loveless faith.”

Templar Veil: Secrets Beneath the Chapel

About Templar Veil: Secrets Beneath the Chapel

Templar Veil follows a discovery that was never meant to resurface. When archaeologist Elena Godfrey deciphers a coded manuscript once believed to point toward a lost Templar library on the isle of Crete, she and estate owner Caitriona Macintyre uncover evidence suggesting the truth lies much closer—buried beneath the ancient chapel at Dunraig Castle. Their breakthrough draws Elena’s fiancé, Phillip Nelson, and his brother Colby into a race to unravel the Templars’ final message before it slips into the wrong hands.
But word spreads faster than they can contain it. As crowds gather at the castle gates and whispers ignite across academic circles, the Serpent—a clandestine order sworn to reclaim the Templar legacy—moves into the shadows around them. Grafton, the estate’s protector, scrambles to fortify the grounds while Damien works to stem the leaks, yet the threat only tightens.
What begins as an archaeological triumph becomes a battle against time, deception, and a centuries‑old enemy. With ancient symbols awakening and prophecy bleeding into the present, the team must confront the truth the Templars died to conceal. Beneath the chapel lies a secret capable of reshaping history—and those who seek it will stop at nothing to claim it.

Reverse Heart Disease: No Lifelong Suffering, Address the Root Cause – Not the Associated Cause

About Reverse Heart Disease: No Lifelong Suffering, Address the Root Cause – Not the Associated Cause

Stop managing symptoms and start addressing the source. In Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Balaram Dhotre uses his extensive background in pharmaceutical drug design and cellular nutrition to challenge the status quo of cardiovascular care.

Most conventional treatments focus on “associated causes” like high cholesterol, but Dr. Dhotre argues that to truly heal, we must address the “root cause” at a cellular level. Drawing on scientific research and his expertise in drug development, he explains how proper molecular support—specifically through Vitamin C, Lysine, and Proline—can restore arterial health and prevent lifelong suffering. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a scientific, evidence-based pathway to reversing heart disease and regaining a life of vitality.

In this story, Kole is a down on his luck recently paroled prisoner living in the ghetto. He’s attacked and turned into a vampire but saved by a female vampire that asks for his help in finding someone named Tempest. Kole’s savior is named Camilla, and she tells Kole of some prophesy that claims Tempest has been reincarnated. On Tempest’s upcoming 18th birthday, she will remember her past life and her magic skills in that past life. In her past life, Tempest conjured a spell that allowed vampires to walk in sunlight. Camilla tells Kole that the only thing keeping the evil vampires from controlling the world is sunlight. Camilla wants to find Tempest and stop her from sharing that spell with anyone. But many other vampires want to find Tempest and have her perform the daylight spell on them.
Kole ends up finding out that Tempest is actually just an innocent 17-year-old kid and he chooses to help her escape after she’s nearly killed and turned into a vampire. Together they flee across the world from vampires, werewolves, ogres, witches and other supernatural beings that either want to kill her and keep her from sharing the spell or force her to use the spell on them.
When Tempest turns 18, she does regain her past life memories and sorcery skills. She performs the daylight magic spell on Kole and herself, so they can travel during daylight. Tempest then takes them through a dimensional doorway to another planet to escape all the supernatural beings that are after them on Earth.
On the new world there are monsters of all sorts from dragons to dinosaurs and lots of primitive violent humanoids, including giants. The pair find themselves involved in another war there between different humanoid species.

November in Paris

About November in Paris

This is a book that shows how a person becomes themselves not because of what life gives, but despite what it takes away.

It is the true story of a boy who was left alone far too early and had to survive in a world where almost no one intended to save him. Max goes through the loss of his parents, illness, foster families, a harsh survival school, a military academy, betrayal, poverty, debt, broken connections, and people leaving even when he held on to them. From stealing a Christmas tree as a child just to buy a sausage, to building a successful adult life in Paris.

He falls even when fate gives him a chance to rise; loses everything, gains everything, and loses again. In every city, at every turn of his life — he searches for stability, support, and home.

Through years of chaos, alcohol, mistakes, a broken youth, and survival, he comes to the essential — the need to look within. Meeting a therapist in Paris becomes not just therapy, but a dialogue with the other half of himself he had refused to hear his whole life.

Themes of loneliness and self-discovery, growth and overcoming, fate and its strange turns, the philosophy of choice, and self-observation emerge. Each session uncovers what he buried deep: the love he feared losing, the anger hiding fear, the pain no one ever saw, and insights that his subconscious had hidden all these years.

When the past finally forms a coherent picture, Max understands: growing up is not victory over fate, but acceptance of who you become despite it.

This is an honest, raw, and piercing story of someone who endured orphanhood, loneliness, and loss yet still found his own path. In the final scene, on a quiet Parisian street, an encounter occurs that gives no answer. It leaves only the question: can someone who survived chaos finally allow themselves closeness?

Paris in November is not about postcards. The gray sky hangs low, the air slightly damp, cafés smell of cinnamon and wet wood, and the city seems made for those whose hearts ache. Max comes not as a tourist, but as someone who has finally survived his own story. Bridges, narrow streets, heavy doors of old buildings — they seem to accept him without question. And in this beautiful November Paris, where lamplight blurs across wet pavement, he suddenly realizes: his entire life, with all its depths and rises, led him to the place where he can finally breathe calmly. Where a chance encounter, almost impossible, might not end a story, but open something he had never allowed himself to imagine.
