GREAT INDIE READS

When the cold hand reaches southward,

reaches with its frozen fingers,

comes a child into the Northland,

all the clans to bring together.

The child is Ulla, a green-eyed girl from a hardscrabble village in Iron-Age Finland. Mauled by a bear, she is healed by the famous wizard Väinämöinen, but walks away with a striking scar that evokes an ancient prophecy. Hundreds of miles away, Prince Egan is thrust into power when his father is killed by a horrific shade from Hell.

The lives of the two young heroes intertwine as they battle Löhi, a powerful sorceress and the Far Northern Land's ancient enemy. For Egan, this means overcoming the skepticism of his own people and the hidden self-doubt that gnaws at him deep inside. Torn from everyone she ever knew, Ulla embarks on a desperate search for love and belonging, and takes the first steps to becoming a wizard herself.

The Mark of the Bear Clan, Book I of the Far Northern Land Saga, goes where no epic fantasy series has ever gone before-Finnish mythology and the world of the Kalevala, where legendary heroes like the wizard Väinämöinen mix with original characters like Ulla and Egan to create a unique mosaic wholly new to fantasy literature.

Pregnant and with a whole new list of enemies to kill, Izzy and Baal flee south.

Venice, 1710, Poinsettia Girl is based on the story of Agata de la Pieta, an orphan musician of the Ospedale de la Pieta.

Grabtown is a gripping dual-timeline thriller that exposes the dark underbelly of small-town secrets, where sisterhood and courage become the only weapons against those who prey on the vulnerable. Perfect for fans of Kellye Garrett's Like a Sister, Shari Lapena’s Listen for the Lie, and Amy Gentry's Good as Gone.

John Reuther offers a deeply personal and historically rich account of a life spent striving for mutual respect between two superpowers. His fluency in the language and culture earned him trust on both sides of the divide. This is the untold story of an American who dared to build bridges where others saw walls.

Margaret Stone appears to be the perfect military spouse-supportive, resilient, and respected as the wife of Brigadier General George "Rocky" Stone. But beneath her carefully composed exterior lies a past shadowed by tragedy and one fateful night that could destroy everything she's built.

When a blackmail letter signed "Swimbuddy1980" arrives, Margaret is forced to confront the truth about what really happened during a late-night swim at Coronado Beach nearly thirty years ago. As the threats escalate and her husband faces a career-defining deployment to Afghanistan, Margaret must navigate the complex loyalties of military life while fighting to protect the life she's crafted from the ashes of her troubled youth.

From a San Diego tattoo parlor to the formality of Marine Corps ceremonies, Margaret's journey reveals the resilience of the human spirit and the unique bonds forged through shared sacrifice in the military community.

In this compelling narrative of love, betrayal, and redemption, one woman discovers that while the past shapes us, it need not define us-and that true strength comes from facing the most painful truths of all.

At last the women speak. While the crucifixion/resurrection event is traditionally told through men's eyes, The Day After His Crucifixion brings Yeshua the Nazarene's story alive through the testimony of women who knew him and followed his teachings.

Shocked by his brutal execution, these New Testament eye witnesses gather to comfort one another and remind themselves of how Yeshua set them free, bringing them life abundant.

Peter's mother-in-law, the woman with the flow of blood, the crippled woman bent double, the bride whose wedding feast was saved by Yeshua playfully changing water into wine, and several others gather to share food and tender memories of their beloved Promised One.

Through their words familiar gospel stories spring to life.

The Day After His Crucifixion is packed with the inspiring, heart-felt accounts of New Testament women he healed and helped and drew into his circle. Their personal reports reveal Yeshua's ministry of love, his message of God's kingdom come, his courageous, life-affirming actions, and his eternal victory.
