Shifted by Adrienne Woods

Shifted by Adrienne Woods

Seventeen-year-old Sophie Emerson never imagined her life would take such a magical turn. At Earwyn Academy of Concordia, she discovers she’s a Spirit fae with powers she barely understands. While the idea of being magical is exciting, Sophie quickly learns the reality isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Between the constant headaches triggered by her clairvoyant abilities and the strange visions she experiences, things are starting to get overwhelming.

Sophie’s dreams offer disturbing glimpses of herself surrounded by nine other children, all channeling their powers into her, transforming her into a dangerous monster destined to destroy Concordia. She has no idea what it means, but it’s terrifying, especially when she starts seeing the connections to real-life events.

When three children from her village go missing, Sophie discovers the truth—the Dark Griffin, an ancient and powerful creature, has been abducting children for years, using their powers to create an unstoppable weapon. Sophie realizes that she’s the final piece of the puzzle, the last child needed to complete the Griffin’s ultimate weapon: a being that will have the power to kill the king and wreak havoc on the entire kingdom.

Suddenly, Sophie wakes up locked in a cell with the nine other children, each one playing a part in the Griffin’s deadly plan. If she doesn’t find a way to escape, she will become the very monster she’s been trying to avoid. With time running out, Sophie must come up with a strategy to stop the Dark Griffin, save the kidnapped children, and prevent herself from being transformed into the ultimate weapon.

Being magical wasn’t part of the plan. Sophie would have preferred a normal life, thank you very much.

The Adventures of a Florida Boy by Jim Melvin

The Adventures of a Florida Boy by Jim Melvin

NEW RELEASE: Many of us are in need of relief, and we sometimes search for something good-natured and joyous to put a smile on our faces. This is what “Florida Boy” is all about. This sweet memoir will make you laugh and feel happy in that stomach-warming way that fond memories tend to inspire, and it can be read in one or two sittings. Melvin’s boyhood was spent in Florida in the 1960s on an island called Coquina Key. His parents’ waterfront home overlooked a wide expanse of Tampa Bay. Back then, parts of the island were undeveloped, which left room for climbing trees, digging forts, and swimming in shark-infested waters. Some of the things he and his friends did were downright dangerous. But they didn’t care. They were the rulers of their domain. Readers will discover moments that will awaken their own childhood memories, regardless of where and when they grew up.

The Eye of Nefertiti: A Pharaoh’s Cat Novel

About The Eye of Nefertiti: A Pharaoh’s Cat Novel

Now a New Yorker, the Pharaoh’s cat–the ancient Egyptian feline with human powers–travels back in time to free Egypt’s legendary Queen Nefertiti from a horrific curse, discovering firsthand why her mummy has never been found and her famous bust is missing one eye.

As in the first Pharaoh’s cat novel, the cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The Eye of Nefertiti also interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It too contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture. Added to all this is an ingenious use of the Tarot and Italian opera.

The cat is living happily in New York City with the High Priest, Elena, daughter of an Egyptologist, and their infant son, the cat’s beloved Pharaoh reincarnated, when the supernatural gradually intrudes in the form of phantasms, the plot of an Italian opera, a Tarot card reading, and an unexpected summons to present-day Bath Spa disguised as an opportunity for Elena.

She and the little Pharaoh travel conventionally while the cat and the High Priest take the little boat they use for time travel and are diverted to ancient Stonehenge for a brief stop-over. The figure at the center of their encounter with the Druids has been prefigured in the cat’s phantasms, the Italian opera, and the Tarot reading, all his uncanny experiences being in accord with a single design.

Reunited with Elena and the infant Pharaoh in Bath, the cat and the High Priest discover a secret tomb below the Georgian house where they are staying, and are soon impelled to journey to ancient Egypt in the time of Queen Nefertiti to save her from a horrific curse. They become separated as they search for Nefertiti and the cat has several adventures before finding her on his own.

He undertakes an ingenious deception to stay close to her without revealing his identity. Being so close, he falls in love with her. He succeeds in lifting the horrific curse at great cost to himself. Despite his love, he surrenders Nefertiti to history and, mourning his loss, descends into a psychological abyss so deep only the Pharaoh can save him.
