The Wages of Sin
by Emily Hanlon
A Martha and Marya Mystery

When an elderly billionaire businesswoman drops dead during her wedding to a much younger golden boy at the very moment of the “I dos,” her improbable bridesmaid, Marya Cook—the lavender-clad, Bible-quoting octogenarian sleuth known to the locals as the Purple Pest—cries, “Murder.” Marya’s sensible sidekick, Uber driver Martha Collins, sees her to-do list balloon as she juggles her sleuthing with police politics, money problems, and maybe…just maybe…romance.

Join Martha and Marya on a cruise to the Greek Isles and back to Pequot Bays, New York, waterfront home to the wealthy and those who serve them. Meet the rich victim’s hopeful heirs, shady servants, and of course, the frustrated fiancé as Marya combines her eye for “the little things” with her own peculiar logic to sift through the multitude of murderous motives, means, and opportunities in search of the killer . . .

Mystery at the Haunted Castle
by Paul D. McDonald
A Flaugherty Twins Mystery - Book 1

 Meet Pat and Patty Flaugherty (pronounced flair-tee), teenage fraternal twins who have a penchant for getting themselves involved in mysteries. They don't plan to become professional detectives, but never being ones to dismiss a challenge, they attack these mysteries wholeheartedly until they resolve them.

As a team, they each bring their unique strengths to the investigations: Patty's keen eye for observation of details and Pat's ability to "read" people. But with very different personalities, they are often at odds with each other during the process. Pat is headstrong and can be impulsive; Patty is levelheaded and practical, although sometimes too critical of her brother.

A business-pleasure trip to Paris sets off a series of incidents that involve the Flaugherty twins in their first mystery. A mysterious doll everyone seems to want, a legacy involving a cipher, and a ghostly knight haunting an old castle challenge Pat and Patty in their quest to help a newfound friend. As they are plunged into many dangerous adventures, including a fourth-story rescue operation, they uncover clues that lead them to discover the Mystery at the Haunted Castle.

Bent not Broken
by Bobby Strange
Bent by the weight of sin, lifted by the Cross.

When the quiet roads of Colbren wind through faith, failure, and redemption, one man discovers that brokenness is not the end of grace—but its beginning.

After a devastating crash on a cold rural night, Joe Fogle wakes to more than twisted metal and shattered glass. Lying beside him in the wreckage is a bent crucifix—rescued and placed around his neck by David Devore, the farmer who pulls him from the burning truck. To most, it’s just damaged steel. To Joe, it becomes a sacred sign of mercy, a symbol that God can straighten even the most broken of lives.

Years later, Joe is a husband, father, and small-town business owner, striving to lead his family in faith while secretly battling what he calls his “deep pocket sins”—shameful struggles he hides from . . .

🤩🤣 A FUN READ 🤣🤩
The Tails of Wyatt The Flying Dachshund
by David F. Jones

About Wyatt The Flying Dachshund - The Heart of the Stories:

At the center of Wyatt’s stories is a dachshund who embodies both whimsy and determination. Wyatt isn’t just a beloved family pet—he’s a dreamer who gazes skyward, hears the hum of passing airplanes, and knows deep inside that he was born to fly. That spark of longing transforms into a universe where Wyatt takes to the skies in an Ultralight aircraft, not just for the thrill, but to serve, protect, and inspire.

What makes these tales so engaging is their emotional honesty. They capture the small, tender details of family life—Mom’s sweet tea, Dad’s gingersnap cookies, afternoons in a hammock—while seamlessly weaving in daring flights, search-and-rescue missions, and the playful antics of Wyatt and his pack. The stories remind us that greatness doesn’t come from size or strength, but from courage, loyalty, and heart.
