In her heart, Ann knows they will catch Kevin, but she doesn't know when or how or what sacrifices will be made along the way. She's prepared to risk her life for others but will her resolve hold when the threat turns to her baby boy?***This is the first two books of the Heartfelt Cases series. (This version exists so I could do a large print version.) The series is Christian mystery. If that's not your genre, try the Shadow Council series. The Heartfelt Cases series includes: The Collins Case, The Kiverson Case, The Davidson Case, and The Keres Case. The first three are available as a combo ebook, paperback, and individual audiobooks. The Collins Case and The Kiverson Case are performed by Kristin Condon. The Davidson Case is brought to you by Elizabeth Perry. The Keres Case is in production. There is a short prequel called The Quinn Case performed by L. W. Salinas.

The Guild wants justice. They'll settle for her life. Marina didn't cause the River's Edge tragedy, but she knows who did. Knowing the truth could spark a war between the two magic races, she determines to carry the secret forever. The Arkonai High Council wants answers, and they want Daniel to get them. He knows she's innocent, but if he doesn't cooperate, they will send another huntsman. And Marina might not live through the encounter.***You can jump right in or grab some background first. River's Edge Ransom takes place before this story, and all of Redeemer Chronicles takes place after this story.

Victory comes at a price. Exiled to Earth, Mina bears the weapon she stole from Satan, preventing him from destroying the angels of light. Despite this, Spirit's Bane weakens her with pain when she uses her Gifts to protect those under her care. Meanwhile, the Council of Light confines Allister to the Heavens. They fear what Satan will do if he captures the Kindred Spirit Pair. Allister knows they are stronger together, but even if he defies the Council by going to Earth, there's no guarantee he'll reach Mina before Satan's minions. If Allister and Mina cannot defeat Spirit's Bane swiftly, precious souls will be lost in the coming conflict.***This book can be read alone, but it would probably be much more powerful (and sensible) if read after Guardian Angel Files Book 1: Spirit's Bane. The series is written in a style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters. The series is available as ebooks, paperbacks, or audiobooks performed by Reuben Corbett.

Revenge takes times and effort ... and sacrifice. Once upon a time, Princess Mavis chose love over a political marriage. Her father disowned her, stripping away any chance she or an heir would inherit Reshner's throne. But her father is dead, and so are her little brother and his elder son. Thus far, Mavis's nephew, Terosh, has turned out to be an adequate king, but Reshner cannot afford to be divided. The Galactic Alliance of Populated Planets has been hoping to annex the Edge Planet for years. Mavis bears no particular ill-will toward the young queen or Terosh. However, if she cannot install a powerful ruler quickly and secure strong allies, her homeworld will be enslaved. The only way to remove the current rulers is to kill them. *This book can be read alone, but it is much better if read after Reshner's Royal Ranger and before Reshner's Royal Guard.

Crowns often come with a price. For Terosh, the Kireshana-or "renewing fire journey"-offers a chance to prove himself as a man, not just the spare prince. However, first, he must escape his father's smothering presence. For Reia, a Ranger sworn to protect royals, the task of keeping the prince safe turns complicated when the fool runs away from his private guards. After an explosive meeting, the prince and the Ranger decide to travel together. Forces of nature and wild animals are expected dangers, but several predators come with political agendas. When Terosh's attraction for his Ranger guardian becomes apparent, Reia becomes a pawn in a wider game. Even access to the fabled god-machines might fail to save them from having to answer a single question: what is one life measured against the fate of a planet?***This is Book 1 in the Anotech Chronicles series. The complete series is Reshner's Royal Ranger, Reshner's Royal Threat, and Reshner's Royal Guard. They are being made into audiobooks, but only the first is released right now.

Dark times come to Reshner. The king and queen are dead. Lord Kezem rules with an iron fist. The royal children have been separated for their own safety. Protected by an ancient charm that links her life to Kezem, Princess Rela lives in the palace. For a time, Prince Teven trains with the Rangers. He joins the royal guard and goes on the Kireshana so that someday he can confront the usurper and take back the throne. Things don't go to plan. Kezem believes the princess can lead him to untold treasures, but because he cannot harm her, he brings her friends along to force her obedience. As an added bonus, he might even get to kill the little lost prince who lived.***This is Book 3 in the Anotech Chronicles series. The complete series is Reshner's Royal Ranger, Reshner's Royal Threat, and Reshner's Royal Guard. They are being made into audiobooks, but only the first is released right now.

Being the Chosen One could kill her ... Victoria Saveron knows two things for certain. Dark forces want to kill her, and her friends have cooler powers than she does. Katrina can shapeshift and Tellen can tap into destructive magic currents. Everything else is uncertain and rumors abound. Victoria might be the Chosen One, whatever that means. Her father might be able to help them, but only if they can find him. Coldhaven's villagers might be able to offer them food and shelter. Some fool might be running around unlocking Darkland portals to raise an undead army. The further Victoria and her companions get on their journey, the more dangers and betrayals they face. They must awaken Vic's true powers or forfeit the world.***This is Book 1 in the Redeemer Chronicles series. It's followed by The Holy War and Reclaim the Darklands.
