A Top Secret Air Force base hanger was on full alert searching for an escaped alien body that had somehow survived the spaceship crash. Men in black and armed military jeeps were lighting the secret area with spot lights to find the unknown dead body that was now alive and running in the dark. Several miles down the hill from the secret base ran a short creature with long white fibers that glowed blue every five seconds. His long arms with red claws interlocked over his head every three steps to glide above the ground for five seconds. Brujo, the name he would be given by a local boy, stopped with a loud yell sounding screath amid glide and pierced his bright red eyes back towards the hanger. He followed with a second high pitch screath carried into the wind towards the base hoping for a returned screath. Brujo listened hoping his co-back Leffler had also survived the spaceship crash and also escaped from the secret hanger. Brujo released a final sad screath into the night wind and quickly ran his one, two, three steps interlocked his clawed hands and glided in a blue haze for five seconds towards town. He floated in a five, three, five rhythm until he reached the first house on the hill from the secret base. Brujo stared at the house high on hill by a ravine and noticed a glass portal on the side of the home. His red eyes scanned through the big picture window and fixed upon a white cloudy figure playing a large grand piano. He yelped a silent screath and thought what kind of creature is this and can it lead me to my earthly invitee known as “with love”.

The feisty, fiery Kopp sisters are back in another unforgettable romp by international bestseller Amy Stewart. Deputy sheriff Constance Kopp is outraged to see young women brought into the Hackensack jail over dubious charges of waywardness, incorrigibility, and moral depravity. The strong-willed, patriotic Edna Heustis, who left home to work in a munitions factory, certainly doesn’t belong behind bars. And sixteen-year-old runaway Minnie Davis, with few prospects and fewer friends, shouldn’t be publicly shamed and packed off to a state-run reformatory. But such were the laws — and morals — of 1916. Constance uses her authority as deputy sheriff, and occasionally exceeds it, to investigate and defend these women when no one else will. But it's her sister Fleurette who puts Constance's beliefs to the test and forces her to reckon with her own ideas of how a young woman should and shouldn't behave. Against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn once again from the true story of the Kopp sisters, Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions is a spirited, page-turning story that will delight fans of historical fiction and lighthearted detective fiction alike.

Voltaire told us to "judge a man by his questions, not his answers." I ask a lot of thought provoking questions in this ebook, all starting with the words - what if. We can barely go through life without asking what if about something. We are always questioning, always imagining. While the book takes a bit of a philosophical outlook on things, it also gives light humour that the average person can enjoy. The questions range from basic style choice to more controversial questions about life, and even about God’s existence. As Albert Einstein once said “the important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

She is soon shocked to discover that her thirteenth target, Danny, is not the monster she has spent her life hating. Abyss must choose whether to put aside her thirst for vengeance and form an alliance with Danny, before a more dangerous enemy emerges and everything she has fought for is destroyed forever...

When Poplar Morgan first stepped into Faraway, she’d been terrified, but by the time her Winter Adventure was over, she’d known that wonderful world was her home. After a Spring and Summer there, it was time for a spell to create Fall. Unfortunately, Father Time had forgotten to tell her, Alec and her friends that the night flower for Autumn’s heart must be picked from the South side of the dark and stormy island. So, they had taken one from the wrong side and had started a war with the ogres of the island! Now Poppy was forced to return to the Outer World to get a new sort of flower that might make amends and end the war before anyone could get hurt. Only, magick doesn’t work in the Outer World like it does on Faraway, and Poppy is afraid she’ll be stuck there forever. Is it true what they say, that you can always go home? And will she get back in time to save everyone, again?

Ever since her first adventure on Faraway, Poplar Morgan has wanted to be a witch, and to learn to cast spells. If she’d had any idea how boring learning magick could be, she might have changed her mind! But then, she wouldn’t have been on the Ilse of Thyme when danger arrived, and she wouldn’t have had a summer adventure trying to escape from it and save her new friends at the same time. Each spell she casts, thinking this will be the one to win the day, seems to misfire, until she learns the secret a giant’s witch is keeping. But will she be a strong enough witch by then to work a spell to save all the magick on Faraway?
