Cat Killed a Rat (The Ponderosa Pines Mysteries – Book 1) by ReGina Welling & Erin Lynn

Now in audio — read it or listen!
Nothing bad ever happens in Ponderosa Pines…
That’s what anonymous gossip columnist Chloe LaRue and her best friend, town matriarch EV Torrence, always believed — until a second-rate handyman with a first-rate ego makes a scene at the town meeting and turns up dead.
EV was seen arguing with Luther Plunkett in front of the whole town. Before the body’s even cold, she’s suspect number one — and not even Chloe can stop the rumor mill from churning.
But Luther’s death is just the beginning. When his scheming brother is murdered next, it’s clear someone in this tight-knit eco-community has a secret worth killing for. Blackmail letters. A dangerous land grab. A killer counting on Ponderosa Pines’ spotless reputation to keep their secret buried.
With Detective Nate Harper warning them to stay out of it, Chloe and EV launch their own investigation anyway — and what they dig up might just tear their beloved town apart.
How far will two nosy women go to catch a killer?
A funny, snarky, small-town whodunit — and the first in a 4-book series.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Such a fun book… the characters are relatable and colorful. It is a great mystery.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This mother-daughter team have brought to life small-town living with all its good and bad!”

Child of Vanris by Nikki McCormack

At five years old, Kasiel was found with the pointed ends of his ears cut off. Despite that brutal start, he’s lived twelve peaceful years with the man who took him in. Keeping his hair long over his mutilated ears helps him hide the fact that he is Vanrian, a child of the enemy.

Everything changes when mercenaries arrive hunting for him. The last people he expects to come to his rescue are Vanrian soldiers, one of whom claims to be his spirit brother. They plan to take him across the war zone to deliver him to his real father, a man whose name strikes terror in his enemies.

With his secret exposed, Kasiel can’t go home. This is his chance to find out who he was supposed to be. It means traveling to a foreign land where they have psychic abilities he never knew existed. It also means leaving behind everything he’s ever cared about. To survive, he will need to learn a new language and culture and become a soldier in their war.

Meanwhile, the man who cut Kasiel’s ears will do anything to keep him out of his true father’s hands, even if it means killing him.

Praise for Graham Mott & “Hooked by Fly Fishing.”
“Great job with this book. Fun memories in magical places shared with close friends and family is what life is all about. Hats off to you Graham.” Karl Decker, Mountaineering Videographer, “Karl Decker Presents” – YouTube

“I loved the stories. And it sounds like you’ve hooked yourself a few times! Comes with the territory — a fisherman must endure the elements, the whims of the fish, and the threat (or thrill) of the hook! I’m so glad you wrote these great tales down.” Joel Morris, best-selling author of his first book, “All our Yesterdays: A Novel of Lady MacBeth”

Here is a book review from John Shewey, Editor of American Fly Fishing Magazine:
“I love a good yarn, fly fishing or otherwise, but a fun tale from a fly angler is especially entertaining, and Graham M. Mott delivers a collection of true stories that will ring familiar to anyone who has practiced the art for a longtime. His stories will resonate with fly anglers in all walks of life.

In one incident, Mott manages to impale himself with a fly. We’ve all been there, but not of all us have fished out the rest of the day with a fly dangling from our lip before finally seeking medical attention at a local clinic. Some of us have done that, but few of us can report a second self-hooking that only to ends up in front of the same doctor.

Fly fishing as a conduit for deeper, more meaningful, more fulfilling relationships with friends and family members, is a recurring theme in “Hooked by Fly Fishing,” and Mott recalls many times when his favorite sport—his addiction—has provided him catharsis. Mott’s stories enshrine personal relationships made all the richer through fly fishing. His stories range from the humorous to the poignant. He also recounts some great catches, but his essays clearly echo the sentiment that it’s the fishing that matters far more than the catching.”

*A Great gift for any fisherman. Order your copy of Hooked by Fly Fishing now! *

Joy After Noon by Debra Jeter Coleman

Joy After Noon by Debra Jeter Coleman

JOY AFTER NOON is the story of Joy Hancock, her new gorgeous husband Ray, and his two daughters, Marianne and Jenny. Marianne, a would-be ballerina, is haunted by the image of her deceased, perfection-demanding mother. Her younger sister, Jenny, longing for acceptance and companionship, befriends troubled and trouble-seeking Claudia, with dire consequences. Joy struggles to balance the challenges of a career as a college professor coming up for tenure with those of her new family, while Ray faces an ethical dilemma at work. He must decide whether or not to blow the whistle on his colleagues following an ill-advised merger. At home he alternates between being distracted and irritable, and Joy misreads the signals as indicating his disappointment in her due to her failures—to live up to the model set by his first wife and to cope with the girls and domestic life.

The novel is set in the fictional beach town of Sugar Sands, Alabama, loosely based on Gulf Shores.

Inspiration for Joy After Noon:

Initially, the idea behind my title, Joy After Noon, was that Joy’s life has been lonely (and joy has been elusive) since her parents died when she was sixteen, and she has about given up on finding love when she meets Ray. She comes into his ready-made family and, for a time, this seems like a mistake. However, in the afternoon of her life, she finds love and joy.

The e-book will be discounted to $1.99 (regular price $8.99) from June 30 to July 6, 2026.

The Collector’s Wife by Jordan Grey

The Collector’s Wife
A Gothic Suspense Romance Thriller

Elena thought she was marrying into legacy, wealth, and security.

Instead, she married into a family tradition no one survives.

When Elena moves to her husband’s ancestral estate on the rocky coast of Maine, she is swept into a world of old money, rigid expectations, and unsettling silence. But behind a hidden panel in the library, she discovers a secret room filled with photographs—dozens of brides from her husband’s bloodline, dating back generations.

Every woman vanished exactly three years after her wedding day.

Elena has twenty-two months left.

As she quietly investigates the fate of the former wives, accidents and illnesses begin to look like something far more deliberate. The powerful Blackthorne family controls the town, the police, and the narrative. No one questions their history.

No one survives it.

Her only ally is Dominic, the estate’s guarded groundskeeper—a man with his own reasons for hating the family. As suspicion turns into desire, their growing connection becomes both dangerous and undeniable.

But uncovering the truth means exposing a century-old ritual built on control, obsession, and sacrifice. And the people protecting that legacy will kill to keep it buried.

With time running out and nowhere safe to turn, Elena must decide:

Become the next portrait on the wall…
or destroy the collection forever.

The Collector’s Wife is a gripping romantic thriller filled with gothic suspense, forbidden attraction, family secrets, and deadly traditions—perfect for readers who love dark romance with high-stakes tension and shocking twists.

Colours of Influence

Colours of Influence

About Colours of Influence

If you have ever wondered why two people can hear the same message and walk away with completely different meanings, this book gives you the missing decoder.
Colours of Influence reveals the hidden colour code behind every human decision so you can predictably influence yourself and others, without manipulation, guilt, or hype.
Built on Spiral Dynamics and real world coaching, sales, and leadership experience, Tony Kaye shows you how values and worldviews shape what people trust, what they resist, and what finally makes them say yes. When you learn to recognise the stage someone is operating from, you stop trying to force your message and start speaking to their reality.
Inside, you will learn how to:
Understand the eight levels of human motivation and what each stage is truly seeking
Diagnose why brilliant offers and launches fail when the language does not match the buyer
Communicate one truth in multiple “languages” so different people can actually hear you
Align your message, content, and sales process to the meaning your audience is making
Use the Spiral Sales Decoder to adjust your tone, framing, proof, urgency, and invitation
Design offers that meet people where they are and guide them into the next level of growth

This is for coaches, consultants, founders, speakers, leaders, and creators who are tired of recycled tactics and surface level scripts.
If you want your words to land with precision, your offers to feel obvious to the right people, and your influence to come from clarity instead of performance, Colours of Influence will change how you see human behaviour forever.

A Mark Cursed by Stars

A Mark Cursed by Stars

About A Mark Cursed by Stars

When the stars choose, the hunt begins.

Step into the world of A Mark Cursed by Stars, a dark celestial horror romance where a heroine is caught between survival and the madness already threatening to tear apart her mind.

Every decade, a twisted prophecy begins across Elora, marking one innocent soul for sacrifice. This summons the celestial bloodlines of the Varethym order, commanding the hunt of the Marked across the stars. Break the curse before Vareth, the Blood Moon, rises, or suffer its wrath for ten years.

Back on Earth, Tilly Rose never believed in magic. She's just a girl burdened by her mother's illness and haunted by whispers only she can hear. But she still wonders about her father, dismissed as mad before he vanished nine years ago, and fears the same insanity has already begun in her. Yet beneath that weight, her blood stirs with the mark of Vareth.

Now she is prey, dragged into a world with no escape and she is presented with a dangerous choice. Is she ready to meet her fate, especially as her path intertwines with three dangerous brothers:

Cillian has a charming smile, far too perfect to trust. Fionn's eyes burn with rage and terrible sadness. Torin's hands are blood-stained, and his mocking confidence both repulses and disturbs her.

Yet together, they pull her into a web of seduction and deceit. But Tilly soon discovers the truth behind their pursuit is far darker than their desires.

No Marked has ever survived Vareth's prophecy without surrendering their soul to the Varethym order. But Tilly was never meant to follow the rules.

A Mark Cursed by Stars is the twisted first instalment in The Cursed Celestials, a dark celestial horror romance series of prophecy, bloodlines, and a girl destined to make a choice that could cost her soul.

Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin, Rachel Gillig, and Carissa Broadbent.
