From the creator of Jurassic Park and ER

Leagues below the sparkling blue water of the Caribbean Sea lies the mysterious wreckage of the Grave Descend. Protected by a wall of coral reef and blood-thirsty sharks, the corpse of the sunken yacht has been deemed unrecoverable by every diver in the world. Until James McGregor is offered a shot at it.

For McGregor, a thirty-nine-year-old diver with a long history of unsavory salvage jobs, it’s his last chance at a big payday. But the more he learns about the wreck, the more questions he uncovers—because none of the survivors are telling the same story. How did the ship really sink? What was its cargo? And why is this whole project starting to feel like a suicide mission?

With a new introduction by Sherri Crichton

Sometimes red flags are easy to miss ...

When Sean’s captivating smile greets me on our first date, I know I’ve hit a jackpot by matching with him on Tinder. An hour later, I’m screaming from his locked basement to let me out.

The contrast between Sean and my ex is striking, so when he invites me over to his place, I dismiss the reservations I’ve had up until then and take the plunge. Everything seems to be going perfectly. I find myself drawn deeper into his charm and, when we’re in the bedroom, I allow the fires of passion to blur the boundaries I had set for myself.

However, as the night unfolds, red flags become glaringly obvious. By then, it’s already too late. I’m trapped in the confines of his house and unable to escape the horrifying secrets he hides within.

Laura thought she’d found the one nice guy in New York City.

When Ethan saves her from a crushing crowd on Brooklyn Bridge, their connection is dazzling. Worthy of a heat-filled passionate night.

Laura falls pregnant from their one-night stand—a miracle considering her past fertility issues. Ethan is attentive and wonderful at first. She hopes he will be the kind of father she’d always wanted for herself.

Until his attentiveness turns to obsession. His questions become demands. Why didn’t she answer her phone or respond to his messages? Why won’t she move in with him and his rich mother?

Soon Laura realises the father of her child is a controlling sociopath. And there’s no telling the lengths Ethan will go to in order to keep baby Christopher for himself.

Laura will stop at nothing to save her baby boy.

But is she too late?

Can you trust a clue no one else can see?

Emotionally frigid Walker Clayborne has always preferred the stability of the rock formations he studies to the unpredictable people around him. A cold and unaffectionate upbringing allowed him and his siblings to drift — until the murder of his sister, Claire, propels Walker into a volatile world of strong ideals and spiritual mysticism.

Moved to unearth the truth, Walker visits his sister’s community in search of answers. There he discovers knowledge that challenges his scientific viewpoints — but that offers to reveal crucial clues about Claire’s last minutes.

But in the absence of hard evidence, Walker finds himself at odds with the legal system. And when a friend claims she has “seen” the murder, he must make choices about how to know—and believe—in a world of uncertainty.

Things Unseen is a murder mystery that challenges us to cross and recross the intersections between faith and rationality as we navigate the boundaries of the seen and unseen world.

Edgar Bryce finds himself lost on a journey he never planned. Years after the end of a massive war with an alien race called the xinthal, he’s struggled to find some inner peace. Odd jobs have taken him across the galaxy, a loner in the darkness constantly staying ahead of his own thoughts, doubts, and guilt. With no real future, no sense of purpose, he seems destined to wander for the rest of his days.

Until a strange signal interrupts a simple prospecting job. A message comes in from a group of POWs lost behind enemy lines. The treaty ensured all prisoners on both sides would be returned. This is proof the xinthal failed to live up to their end of the bargain, holding nearly two hundred men and women unlawfully.

The obvious solution carries complications. Rescuing them may well fire up hostilities between the human Federation and the Xinthal Empire. Edgar wrestles with his conscience, not to mention a sacred duty that outlasted his service to the military. The authorities may not be able to offer aid, which means a private citizen with nothing to lose will have to do the unthinkable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book will grab your heart, make a fist, and squeeze until there is nothing but a dried up husk left. You have to read it! No, seriously. There are so many feels going on here. The author lifts you up then smashes you down, over and over again and I guarantee you’ll ask for more.” – A Voracious Reader

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Author Elyse Hoffman tells a small-scale story about World War II that perfectly demonstrates the dehumanization of the Jewish community of that era and how young German men were brainwashed to commit mass genocide. The characters are complex people with inner conflicts and grey morals that make them relatable and thoroughly compelling to read. If you liked the hit Hollywood movie Jojo Rabbit, you'll love Fracture.” – Reader’s Favorite

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book was amazing. I loved how much depth the characters had, and appreciated the moments that broke the tension by making me laugh. Hoffman did an excellent job of bringing the whole story to life, and has a unique way of describing things that made this a delight to read. Highly recommend!” – Goodreads Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "…watching Franz wrestle with his beliefs and question everything he had been told was difficult for me. I found myself egging him on hoping he’d realize the truth about the lies he’d been told...
Only the best books can pull your emotions in every direction. I laughed, I worried, I gasped in shock, felt connected, had butterflies, and felt an ache in my stomach. It has been a long time since a book did this to me. Do not deprive yourself of this book. The author truly wrote a beautiful book about brokenness, love, and loyalty. It was raw and intriguing…”

She wanted purpose. She got dark magic and war.

Claire Emerson is adrift. After a lifetime as a wife, mother, and grandma, she never saw divorce or loneliness coming and is desperate for some sense of purpose. But when her sixtieth birthday brings a snarky gargoyle, an annoyingly sexy wolf shifter, and an unknown magical calling, she thinks she's losing the only thing she has left: her sanity.

Refusing to believe she's the powerful defender of humankind her so-called protectors claim, Claire attempts a return to her safe life... only to have her powers ignite when she's attacked by dark supernatural creatures. And without the training she was supposed to have received, she has no idea how she'll defeat sinister mages plotting her demise.

Can Claire overcome creaky joints and major hot flashes in time to save the world - and her own life?

It reminded me a bit of Sheri S. Tepper's, "A Gate to Women's Country", although the matriarchy in Brangus is far less extreme. I also picked up a hint of Firefly (despite the lack of space travel).... -- S. E. Vivian

"...unusual combination of sci-fi novel and political thriller." -- Amazon Reviewer

The year is 2334. The climate-driven Collapse is two centuries gone.

Its survivors evolved The Union, a culture that has prospered in the harsh new world, in part by squashing stupidities that might trigger a global relapse. Of course, that’s a hefty challenge. People can be awfully stupid.

As a rookie cop in the Union's national police, Lani Maxwell would normally be busy error-squashing. But she's on probation, stuck behind a desk, counting fly specks. With patience, Lani might wait out this tedious torture and get back on track.

Alas, patience is not her style.

So, she noses into a place she shouldn’t—and into a deep and deadly conspiracy. The intrigue is stupid, she thinks. But the danger is real. It will make her life very complicated.

Or, if she’s not careful, very short.
