Murder was never something Zoe Delante enjoyed, but solving
the cases…. She does that rather well, and has the track record to prove it.
Yet when she’s called in on a new case with the Baltimore PD as their go-to
clairvoyant, she’s unprepared for the heinous nature of the crimes.

The hunt for the murderer unfolds, dropping Zoe right in the
middle of a power struggle between a nightmare of a coven, and a serial killer
leaving bodies in ceremonial circles in the rural parts of Baltimore’s city
limits.

Will she discover the identity of the maniac behind the
gruesome beheadings, or will she lose someone close to her first? A race
against celestial bodies and the trail of earthbound body parts keeps our
intrepid clairvoyant running right until the very end.

Praise for
Whispers of the Dead
:

“This novel is a good fit for readers who like books with
almost unbearable suspense. The writer has done a tremendous job in researching
the Wiccan faith to write this novel. A word of caution - the book has a number
of violent scenes, so it’s not for sensitive readers. Having said that, it also
shows clearly the power of good forces over evil ones. You don’t put this book
down once you start reading it. You could not stand to leave it for another
day, and what’s more, you wouldn’t dare. It’s that powerful, I might say ‘spell-binding’.
The suspense never lets up till the end. A terrific piece of work.” –
Joyce
at Amazon

“A very believable, well researched, crime drama, this novel
uses white magic to solve the most horrible crimes in a supernatural battle
that will singe the reader’s eyelashes! Zoe captures your heart as she defeats
forces that appear invincible, giving us a view of the life of a witch who uses
her power to solve crime and relieve suffering at a great cost to her own
physical well being. It’s a view inside witchcraft that may change your
attitudes completely. A MUST read!” –
Mari Sloan

“I love a strong female lead and Zoe Delante is a fabulous
character. Her gift for clairvoyance and calling to help solve murders had me
totally hooked from the start. I love mysteries and paranormal stories and this
was a perfect marriage of both. If you like a twists, turns, magic, action and
gore, this is a great read. I can’t wait for the next Zoe Delante book to come
out!” –

Maggie met Cooper at a young age, but even then she sensed something
was wrong with him. His charm, good looks, and wealth could not hide the danger
that burned in his sapphire eyes.

Some nightmares don’t go away. He’d been haunting her from a
distance for as long as she could remember.

Now things have changed.

When her sons Jack and Tom discover she’s been taken, they
set out to rescue her and uncover nefarious family secrets, explosive
government conspiracies, and a series of horrific murders along the way. Only
their colorful great aunt and a covert resistance group can help them navigate
the dark underworld full of political subterfuge and class warfare.

All the while, Maggie struggles to outwit her tormentor in a
life and death psychological battle of tense desperation. Will Jack and Tom
arrive before Cooper reaches his shatter point?

Praise for
Shatter Point
:

“
Shatter Point
by Jeff Altabef was an amazing read.
There were two separate stories here fully entwined together. The story started
on a high note and never dropped a beat the whole way through. Excellent
thriller, a scary one because the experimental drug side of it is something
that could possibly happen, or may even be happening today. This is one of
those books that no reader will be able to part with until they reach the end,
I guarantee it.” -
Anne-Marie Reynolds, Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews and
Awards

“From the moral and ethical dilemmas posed by drug testing
to the control of violence in a society dominated by privilege,
Shatter
Point
reveals much food for thought. Add the overlap of romance, murder
mystery, and political thriller and you have a truly multifaceted read that
grabs a hold with powerful protagonists and issues and won’t let go till its
logical, satisfyingly unexpected conclusion: a neat wrap-up perfect for a
precisely-evolving thriller.” -
Donovan, eBook Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

“I found the flow of the book to be fast paced and perfect
for this kind of story. Jeff Altabef has truly created a gripping story that is
full of suspense, thrills and drama. If you enjoy this genre,
Shatter Point
will
tick all of your boxes and give you even more than that. I had trouble setting
this one down and I think you will do too. I give this book two thumbs up and
suggest it for a fantastic read.” -

THE DAUGHTER OF THE SEA AND THE SKY

by David Litwack

This literary journey exploring the clash between reason
and faith, and the power of hope and love, is now available. For more

~~~~~

After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world
has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in
the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and
at peace by a treaty and an ocean.

Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable
in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty
sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his
ambitions.

These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from
the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible
journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a
nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “The Daughter of the Sea
and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again,
as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no
matter the risk to their future and freedom.

But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl
longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric
of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would
have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and
perhaps their world as well.

Praise for
The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky
:

“The
Daughter of the Sea and the Sky
by David Litwack
is a stunningly constructed story of a young girl who is deeply troubled but
goes out of her way to help others. Tender yet tense, it is a story that
explores the issue of faith and reason, and the wisdom and discernment to
choose between right and wrong. David Litwack’s exquisitely crafted story is
thoughtful, passionate and simply delightful.” –
Khamneithang Vaiphei

“This is a tale of the heart and soul, of the beautiful
yearning for meaning, and of how it can be found in the union of faith and
reason, as well as in creativity. Everything, Litwack seems to say, points to
Spirit. In this novel, nature itself embodies the spiritual world. The farm’s
overseer, Sebastian, knows this well, for he has been at the farm for many
years, and is completely attuned to the rhythm of the seasons. I’m delighted to
have truly found nothing negative to say about this book.
The Daughter of
the Sea and the Sky
is a beautiful, moving novel, one that I predict will
become an instant classic, especially in the literature of spirituality. It is
a novel to be treasured and re-read many times, not only for its beauty, but
for its thought-provoking treatment of universal themes.” –
A Night’s Dream
of Books

“First off, let me start by saying this book is something
special. I don’t say that often, but there is something un-pinpoint-able and
undefined that is wholly beautiful, endearing and magical about this book and
the story. I’m going to lay this at the author’s feet. If this author brings
out another book, you can bet I’ll snap it up as soon as it’s in print, because
I can tell from this one alone that me and David’s books are going to be
lifelong friends.” –
