Penguins Love Summer

The debut novel from Diana Elliot Graham, When We Were, is a beautiful, clever, and complex dual timeline love story about a woman who discovers fourteen years later that the break up that nearly broke her, was nothing more than a miscommunication.

In 2007, Arden Bancroft was away from home and ready to experience everything college has to offer. With a core group of new friends, a packed course load, and the confidence to match, she immediately throws herself into the college scene. While she might be intelligent and self-assured, she still has a lot to learn when it comes to relationships and it becomes clear as soon as she meets him.

Now, more than a decade later, when posed with a question about breakup sex, she reaches out to her college boyfriend for his perspective but his response is one she never imagined.

Despite all the years apart they are forced to confront the realization that the breakup they both remembered was nothing more than a painful miscommunication.

Arden finds herself retelling the story of the years and relationships that shaped her. Starting at the very beginning, revisiting her freshman year of college, her first meaningful love, and all that followed. Reconciling what she spent years believing to be true with the reality that memories aren’t always honest.

While tracking a potential terrorist cell, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force sends a field team to investigate. Traveling deep into the Catskill Mountains, the Albany field office discovers something far more terrifying than a terrorist training camp.

With more questions than answers, the JTTF team gathers their evidence and prepares to leave the forest when all Hell breaks loose. What started as a routine investigation quickly turns into a fight for survival against a foe that knows every inch of the terrain they are fighting on.

Nobody fights harder than when they are defending their home. Add the burning desire for vengeance and the battle becomes a war!

An old woman locked away in a Russian asylum has a secret — knowledge of a 500-year-old manuscript written by a long-dead alchemist that will show a passage to the mythical center of the Earth. She knows it’s real because 50 years ago, she and a team traveled there. And only she made it back. Today, caving specialist Mike Monroe leads a crew into the world’s deepest cave in the former Soviet Union. He’s following the path of a mad woman, and the words of an ancient Russian alchemist, that were the basis of the fantastical tale by Jules Verne. But what horrifying things he finds will tear at his sanity and change everything we know about evolution and the world, forever. In the tradition of Primordia, Greig Beck delivers another epic retelling of a classic story in an electrifying and terrifying adventure that transcends the imagination. “Down there, beyond the deepest caves, below the crust and the mantle, there is another world.”

First in the series!
Memorable characters, a cozy seaside inn, small-town charm, and a celebration for every holiday.

After suffering a devastating personal loss, Abby Sullivan leaves San Francisco and impulsively buys a sprawling old mansion in Holiday Bay, Maine — sight unseen. She hopes to find solitude and healing but instead finds herself unexpectedly adopted by a giant Maine Coon cat named Rufus, a mysterious drifter named Georgia, and Georgia’s lovable but insecure dog named Ramos. Even though Abby initially believed that solitude would be essential for her to heal, she discovered an inn she never planned to own, a cat who refused to leave, and a family she never imagined needing.

In the first book in this series, the small seaside town is rocked by the murder of a local girl. Abby is drawn into a tangled investigation when she stumbles across boxes in her basement that may hold clues to the killer’s identity. She’s not a detective, but as a New York Times bestselling mystery author and the widow of a homicide detective, she knows how to follow the trail. Together with Georgia, Rufus, Ramos, and Police Chief Colt Wilder, Abby races to solve the case before the killer strikes again in what could be an annual spree.

But will Akira ever be able to face her fears and accept her gift? Or will Zane’s relatives be trapped between life and death forever?
