by Meredith Bond


From the winner of the Golden Leaf Award for Best Regency, a Regency romance with a twist of magic.

Adriana Hayden paints with a tumultuous passion that her guardian considers unseemly in a proper Regency miss. But when she meets the most handsome, fascinating man she’s ever encountered, the emotions she had only expressed through her art spill over into real life. And when he then unexpectedly joins her in London at the height of the season, puts her life in danger and starts telling her fantastical stories of magical people, she doesn’t know what to think. But she does know that she wants to do everything she can to help him.

Morgan Valentine should have been the most powerful Vallen in England. Instead, he was thrown out of the family’s house when he was a teenager and imprisoned in the forest on their estate. Determined to hone magical powers that should be his, he is only able to shatter his bonds when a beautiful woman appears – to steal his heart and to give him the strength to escape to London.

From a deep forest of magic to the glittering ballrooms of Regency society, will Morgan and Adriana be able to join forces and attain their deepest desires… before time runs out?

The Night the Sky Fell: Spirit above (Banks Blackhorse Series, Book 1)

by Stephen G. Levy


When a young man breaks a pact with the Spirit, he unleashes a wrath on a small town where women are compelled to destroy the men.


Reviewed by Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite

Every once in a while, a book surprises me. I mean really surprises me. It’s difficult to do because I grew up in my mother’s library and I read a lot of books. In The Night the Sky Fell by Stephen G. Levy, I was stunned. I was expecting a nice pleasant read at best. What I got was a totally satisfying novel that may be destined to become an American classic. It’s that good, that satisfying, and that different. I began to think it was more than it appeared to be when I got my first look at Banks Blackhorse, a part Tinglit, part Sioux Native American boy, who really wants to be white. Not just any kind of white but rich white. That is his dream, and he has a plan. I knew I was in the hands of a potential master though, as I read about the children and teenagers in this tale. Tricia Powers is a character that people will remember.

I can’t say enough good things about The Night the Sky Fell. The writing is superb. The plot is something that Stephen King might come up with. The characters are simply unforgettable and they keep the story racing along. The Night the Sky Fell is very much character driven and with a little more time and experience, we may have the next Stephen King in Stephen G. Levy. If he can keep doing this consistently. You don’t want to miss this one. A great supernatural suspense tale. Made in America. Made in Alaska.

Stillness Is the Key

by Ryan Holiday


Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller & Wall Street Journal Bestseller

In The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, bestselling author Ryan Holiday made ancient wisdom wildly popular with a new generation of leaders in sports, politics, and technology. In his new book, Stillness Is the Key, Holiday draws on timeless Stoic and Buddhist philosophy to show why slowing down is the secret weapon for those charging ahead.


All great leaders, thinkers, artists, athletes, and visionaries share one indelible quality. It enables them to conquer their tempers. To avoid distraction and discover great insights. To achieve happiness and do the right thing. Ryan Holiday calls it stillness--to be steady while the world spins around you.

In this book, he outlines a path for achieving this ancient, but urgently necessary way of living. Drawing on a wide range of history's greatest thinkers, from Confucius to Seneca, Marcus Aurelius to Thich Nhat Hanh, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, he argues that stillness is not mere inactivity, but the doorway to self-mastery, discipline, and focus.

Holiday also examines figures who exemplified the power of stillness: baseball player Sadaharu Oh, whose study of Zen made him the greatest home run hitter of all time; Winston Churchill, who in balancing his busy public life with time spent laying bricks and painting at his Chartwell estate managed to save the world from annihilation in the process; Fred Rogers, who taught generations of children to see what was invisible to the eye; Anne Frank, whose journaling and love of nature guided her through unimaginable adversity.

More than ever, people are overwhelmed. They face obstacles and egos and competition. Stillness Is the Key offers a simple but inspiring antidote to the stress of 24/7 news and social media. The stillness that we all seek is the path to meaning, contentment, and excellence in a world that needs more of it than ever.
