About Featured Book: The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: Radioactive! by Wallace Briggs

Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien who chose to make his life on Earth, is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his family of friends in Roombelow need help.
Roombelow is suffering from the aftereffects of the rock-chewing Scarab beatles that undermined the town and the world of the Diamites, and even the water-world of the Aquamites is crumbling.
Unexpectedly, a hole appeared in the centre of the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. Not only does the lake begin to empty, but thirty Aquamites have been swept away in the flow and end up in the lake belonging to the Tritians.

Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is seriously in trouble.
Jimmy organises for the young Aquamites to be rescued by his technologically advanced home race in the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. To Jimmy’s dismay, Annison refused treatment until all her friends had been treated. As a result, the Attalians could not save her. Annison slipped into a coma from which they could not revive her.
Is Annison doomed to a living death, or can Jimmy call upon aid from a higher authority? Will the Master of the wizarding world save Annison for a second time?

The Secret of God’s Banker by Alex F Chavez

Detective Angelo Marquez, of the Chicago PD, arrives at The Cathedral of Saint Thomas Aquinas where he has tracked Father Francesco, a prime suspect in the theft of an ancient relic stolen from the Vatican Private Archives. Concurrently, Detective Ann Polities of DuPage County’s M.E.R.I.T. arrives as the hostage negotiator that Father Francesco demanded to have on-scene, lest he detonate an incendiary and bring down the cathedral, killing everyone inside.

As she endeavors to convince Father Francesco to free the hostages, he agrees to release them on the condition that she meet with him in person. Adding the encrypted statement, “Mordechai sits at the palace gate,” which raises a red flag for Angelo that Ann dismisses in order to secure the hostages. But upon entering the cathedral, the bomb is detonated, and Ann is knocked unconscious and transported to Central DuPage Hospital.

When Angelo arrives at the hospital, he discovers that the F.B.I. suspects her involvement in the bombing and plans to question her when she regains consciousness. Curious about why Father Francesco had insisted on her presence at the cathedral, Angelo convinces Ann to flee the hospital in order to prove her innocence and find the priest.

Upon arriving at Nagi’s home a few miles away, Angelo reveals the clues left in place of the stolen relic. The coded message and symbol immediately get Nagi’s attention before local law enforcement converge on his home. Together, the three embark on a perilous quest throughout Chicago and its suburbs to locate Father Francesco and recover what he has stolen.

Unraveling clue after clue left for them to find, Angelo and Ann soon discover dark secrets about the Church of Rome that numerous entities will go to great lengths to protect, including a forty-year-old murder of a banker in possession of one of the Church’s most dangerous relics. The shocking truth they uncover reveals what no one is ready to believe…and brings an old enemy out of the shadows.

About Featured Book: Wraiths and Wreaths – The Christmas Crypt Conundrum (A Witches of Moonlight Hollow Cozy Mystery) by Miranda Rose Barker

A Tale of Paranormal Forces, Wraiths, and Wreaths

As an impending snowstorm heralded the arrival of winter in Moonlight Hollow, a small and quiet town. Eleanor found herself reminiscing about this season with a sense of affection.

“When she thought about winter, Eleanor always remembered it fondly. She thought of sitting inside while the snow fell with a hot cup of cocoa and the sound of the fire crackling, trudging through the snow on a crisp morning, how the town looked so picturesque, and how excited everyone was as the decorations went up for Christmas.”

Lost in these musings, Eleanor was abruptly jolted by an unexpected knock on her door, shattering the serene wintry quietude, and stirring her sense of intrigue. Shrouded in an aura of mystery, the one at the door was none other than Ansel McCoy, the local church and graveyard groundskeeper.

With ominous signs pointing to an imminent snowstorm of substantial proportions, it was clear that trouble loomed on the horizon.

Delve into the enigmatic world of Miranda Rose Barker’s “The Christmas Crypt Mystery”, and brace yourself for a gripping narrative, intriguing characters, and a dose of suspense that will keep you reading late into the night.

What could be so urgent?

What mysterious revelations might Ansel McCoy hold?

About Featured Book: Code Name The Fox: Operation Tucson Cartel by Dr. Hal Bradley

Making things right was drug-lord-turned-contractor/minister Harold Brandon’s new purpose. But he soon finds out that changing sides comes at a steep price.

Harold’s Harley roars across asphalt and dirt toward a meeting with DOJ agents and a few informants.

It’s been eight years since he decided to do the right thing and take on the cartel he once served, and five since he became one of the Department of Justice’s most prized undercover operatives.

While he’s good at what he does, Harold still teeters between love and hate for his job — for each assignment draws him closer to the life he now despises.

And yet, even when every mission feels like his last, Harold can’t bring himself to turn his back on his double life. May it be for adventure or simply for retaliation, he doesn’t quite know.

What he is sure of, however, is that he has a yearning to make things right.

But, as soon as Harold starts a new mission, sinister forces connive against him and seek to teach him a lesson.

How they were going to go about it, however, remains to be seen.

Find out for yourself in “Operation Tucson Cartel: Harold Brandon’s War Against the Cartels,” the first installment to the bestselling “Code Name: The Fox” series by prolific author Dr. Hal Bradley, DD!
