It should have been a simple job. All archaeology student Jane Barnaby had to do was pick up a box her professor needed and deliver it to him at his dig site, along with his new car. Yes, his office was in Oxfordshire, and his dig site was in Spain, a trip of 1,400 miles across three countries and two bodies of water. Still, it should have been simple.

And it was, until Jane discovered she picked up the wrong box by mistake. Not the one with boring pottery samples, but instead the one with priceless ancient Egyptian artifacts. The one that a team of international art thieves is after.

Now she’s chasing – and being chased by – the thieves. And she’s picked up a pair of passengers who claim they can help her outwit them, get her professor’s pottery back and return the artifacts to their rightful owner. If only she could figure out which one of them is working with the thieves and which one she can trust in this high-stakes game of finders keepers.

One job left. Then we leave this godforsaken town.
Everything's perfect until I see Grace... again.
She works at the bank my crew has a hit on.
And, that changes everything.
I'll protect her, and her little girl - no matter the consequence.


Ryan
All I gave a damn about was my brother.
And getting him away from this messed-up place.
I never expected to run into Grace.
She's a single mother with a little girl.
My crew says she knows too much.

No one is laying a d*mn finger on my Grace.
Now I need to figure out a way to get us both out of this alive.


Grace
One day I'll take my daughter away from this place.
But for now, putting food on the table is my concern.
I was taken back when Ryan walked back into my world.
But the way he brings a smile to my little girl's face...
Makes me wonder if we have a second chance.
He wants us to leave this town for a new life together.

But, there's something dark he's hiding from me.
And I can't get my daughter caught up in a life of danger.

Art, religion, and anthropology collide in Alderson’s latest art mystery thriller, Rituals of the Dead, Book three of the Adventures of Zelda Richardson series!

Art history student Zelda Richardson is working at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam on an exhibition of bis poles from the Asmat region of Papua – the same area where a famous American anthropologist disappeared in 1962. When his journal is found inside one of the bis poles, Zelda is tasked with finding out more about the man’s last days and his connection to these ritual objects.

Zelda is pulled into a world of shady anthropologists, headhunters, missionaries, art collectors, and smugglers – where the only certainty is that sins of the past are never fully erased.

Join Zelda as she grapples with the anthropologist’s mysterious disappearance fifty years earlier, and a present-day murderer who will do anything to prevent her from discovering the truth.

"I enjoyed every single line of the book, but my favourite parts were the flashbacks where the author offers a glimpse of a culture that I know very little about. The chapters set in Papua and New Guinea, the insights into the life and rituals of the Asmat people are, in my opinion, priceless." - Goodreads review

Alderson's work is entertaining, engaging, and educational, all that a reader could ask and more." - Goodreads review

A QUICK AND FUN READ!

Fresh out of the academy, Josh is sent to deep space and stationed on the M.N. Rampage. It doesn't take long for him to realize being the best of his training group doesn't automatically equate to being the best on a space carrier. He and the rest of his squadron must stand strong in the face of Mercen aggression, in an area where a thought to be dead war still lives--the Void Zone; neutral space separating Creston territory from Mercen domain. Josh and his fellow pilots will have to find ways to keep the enemy at bay, but without triggering an all-out-war... which may be unaVOIDable!

Jealousy. Disaster. Hope.

When the dam explodes, only a little girl who was never really there at all can save them.

Grayson Addington comes home to Saddler Hollow, West Virginia, from Vietnam a broken man, ravaged by post traumatic stress syndrome, a chaplain who left his faith in the jungle mud with his massacred unit. In his absence, his wife, Piper, turned to his brother Carter for support. Now, she must choose between them—and Carter will stop at nothing to have her.

And into this family torn apart by jealousy, greed and clan loyalties comes a mysterious little girl. Maggie, a battered child with amnesia, shows up on the Addington's front porch and instantly bonds to Sadie, Piper and Grayson’s cripplingly shy toddler. When Maggie runs away and takes Sadie with her, the warring brothers must team up to search for them.

Then the real horror begins. Sadie is trapped in the rocks out of her father's reach beneath a dam about to explode. Grayson will have to stand there and watch her drown ... unless the child called Maggie is much more than she seems.

From suspense author and former journalist Ninie Hammon comes this spellbinding story of ordinary people whose tangled lives are marked by the specter of an impending disaster, and haunted by the mystery of a magical child.

If you enjoy rich, believable real-people characters, ever-tightening tension and a breath-taking surprise ending--coupled with Hammon’s trademark dusting of “the unexplainable”-- When Butterflies Cry will keep you turning pages far into the night.

The fiercest knights in the realm are coming together to compete in the Joust for Arwin's Lance, a tournament that will divide even the closest alliances. The winner alone will have the power to start or prevent a war from unfolding across the peaceful lands of Pentavia.

House Hornbolt, a prominent family that desires peace above all else, is hosting the tournament. The Hornbolt’s have always been strict followers of tradition. The first born son wears the armor of a knight. The second takes the priestly Oath of Arwin. And the daughters get married off to the most eligible suitors.

The eldest son is the favorite to win the tournament. But the rest of the Hornbolts aren't as eager to follow the paths laid out for them. What if the second born wants to be a knight too? And what if the eldest daughter just gave her heart to a common thief?

Customs are meant to be broken. But that’s not all that threatens to shatter House Hornbolt, not when a secret deeper than the late king's grave is unearthed right before the joust.

The fate of Pentavia hangs in the balance as war becomes imminent. And the scales are about to tip.

One wrong move and everything could fall to pieces.

Three members of the McIntosh family are setting up appointments with death, marking it on their calendars for Friday, May 10, 1963. That's the day an F5 tornado will obliterate everything in its path in a mile-wide trail of desolation across Oklahoma---and their little town is in its path.

Pastor Mac McMIntosh lost his faith when his wife died--it's time now to end the charade. His 16-year-old daughter and his father-in-law are arranging to actually kill somebody that day. For one it's an act of hopeless desperation; for the other, a final declaration of unconditional love.

Add to the three with death plans a mysterious inmate called Princess. At 5 o'clock that Friday afternoon, the state of Oklahoma is scheduled to strap her into an electric chair named Sizzlin' Suzie and turn on the juice.

But when Mac grudgingly agrees to meet daily with Princess during her final five days, everything changes. Princess has watched Mac and his family for years, looking out through someone else's eyes. She speaks into Mac's heart with insight and grace, while in her own heart she harbors a secret she's determined to carry to her grave about the little sister she confessed to beheading 14 years ago.

Princess knows the monster tornado is coming. She calls it The Big Ugly and she pleads with Mac to run! But by then, it's too late. For all of them.
 

Escape your own Wherever You Are into this powerful Christian suspense novel where award-winning journalist and best-selling author Ninie Hammon has created in Princess "a character as unique and memorable as John Coffey in The Green Mile." Publisher's Weekly also praised the book's "well-woven storyline, wonderfully rich, characters" and called the novel's underlying message of faith "a fine story of love and sacrifice that will hook readers to the end."

In Five Days in May, Hammon has served up a tale full of twists, turns and surprises, with her trademark "dusting of the unexplainable" and a shocking surprise ending you absolutely will not see coming.

Five Days in May is Book One in the Unexplainable Collection. In this collection of four stand-alone suspense novels—each with its own cast, a unique setting and a story unconnected to the other three—all the characters start out believing that the universe operates in a predictable manner, that there are immutable laws and a natural reason for everything. The problem with that thinking is that some things aren’t natural. They’re supernatural. There are forces at work in the universe we can’t see, with power we can’t begin to imagine and plans we don’t understand.

What that means is that smack in the middle of their ordinary lives the people in these stories will encounter the unexplainable…and it’s always the game-changer.

Understand where fear, stress, anxiety and destructive thoughts come from. This is a ground-breaking new self-help book that uncovers experientially the root of problematic emotions and destructive thought patterns, while offering readers the tools to alter their way of thinking in order to change their lives.

Jane Cull coined the term "Attachment Thinking", which is defined as a habitual and unconscious thought process that is responsible for destructive thought patterns and problematic emotions.

When human beings do this kind of thinking, the thought patterns and problematic emotions are universal. Cull states: "Our thinking is not only the problem - it is also the solution. In changing our way of thinking we break the cycle of this problematic, destructive, unconscious and habitual thinking.”

Using the tools in the book, people are empowered to break the cycle of Attachment Thinking and return to Reflective Thinking, where we become conscious, self-aware, genuine and responsible. It is a return back to ourselves to create a completely new way of thinking for a better way of living.

Jane Cull is an expert on The Biology of Cognition, the work of Dr Humberto Maturana, a Chilean biologist and systems thinker, and has written extensively on denial, suppression and trust as the basis for a shift in perception and world views. Cull coined the term “Attachment Thinking” as a way to define and understand this particular kind of thinking and the ramifications it has for all human beings and their lives.
