A commercial airliner disappears without a trace. Stranded, injured, and freezing, what happens to the survivors next will haunt them forever.

After breaking up a sex trafficking ring, FBI Agent Victoria Heslin wants nothing more than to visit the rescue shelter she sponsors, a trip that also offers a much-needed European vacation and a chance to figure out her new relationship with Ned. Comfortable in first class, she drifts off — only to be shocked awake when her plane crashes.

Lost in an empty, frozen wasteland, Victoria and a few other survivors battle extreme temperatures, as each day brings more tragedy. One by one, the desperate group is winnowed down. The remaining passengers must decide if they’ll stay with the wreck, waiting to be found, or brave the harsh elements and venture out in search of help.

When Agent Dante Rivera learns of Victoria’s fate, he puts all his energy and expertise into finding her plane, which seems to have vanished from existence. As he unravels a technological mystery and layers of scheming, he fears his worst nightmare will be realized: that he won’t find his coworker and friend alive.

Introducing an exciting new Young Adult book series, Tales of Witches and Wyverns by S. Ramsey…

It’s been nine years since the shy new kid, Dylan, appeared at the school bus stop and put an end to Enid’s torment. Ever since then, she’s had twisted nightmares that her best friend and growing love interest would pay the price for getting involved with someone like her. Someone different.

On Enid’s sixteenth birthday, those fears have come to fruition.

Journey with Enid as she travels to the fae realm to save her kidnapped friend and stop the Unseelie Queen Malagant’s quest to conquer both the fae and human worlds. The human world stands frozen in time until Dylan returns, and failure is not an option.

The world of the fae is fraught with danger: there are rules one must not bend, deceptions one must not fall for, and creatures one must not cross if one is to survive. An impossible task for most humans, Enid quickly finds herself in circumstances where being different is not so bad after all. Armed by the immortal Merlin with the relics of King Arthur’s knights and a trace of the magic she never knew she had, Enid will reach the mountains of the Gwyllion and bring Dylan home or die trying.

Will Enid rescue Dylan and stop evil from taking over both realms? Or will she fail and watch helplessly as a shadow descends over everything and everyone she loves?

Fatal, Family, Album: Book #13 in the Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series

Genre: Mystery | Literature & Fiction

FREE for a limited time

TWO FBI AGENTS COME LOOKING FOR KIKI’S NANNY, AND SUDDENLY THE HOUSEHOLD IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
Kiki and her husband must ask themselves the toughest question they’ll ever have to face: Can we trust this person with our kids?

The answer might say more about them than it does about their nanny, Brawny.

But how can you trust someone whose whole life has been a lie? And boy, oh, boy, do Brawny’s secrets bring up trust issues for everyone under Kiki’s roof. Especially for Kiki’s sensitive, thirteen-year-old daughter. (Will she ever get over this betrayal?)
It all starts when a totally forgettable woman is found shot dead in her car… and whose fault is that? Given the number of blended families today, can a step-parent ever catch a break? Was the murder a drive-by shooting gone wrong? Or an intentional, targeted murder?
One of Kiki’s friends is accused of hiring a hitman, after a cashier’s check for a million dollars goes missing. It’s a puzzle with too many pieces, but Kiki’s determined to see justice done.
With a plot so timely it could have been ripped right out of the headlines, and questions as old as motherhood itself, Fatal, Family, Album works on a variety of levels. What do we owe the children of other people? How much can we ever trust another person? When do we, as parents, know it’s time to trust our kids to make important decisions? And which love should prevail: that of one spouse for the other, or a parent for a child?

Can be read as a stand-alone
