Dawn Bailey always loved books, and her dream was to own her own quiet bookstore to care for those who shared her love of books. Her highly successful, but terminally ill, father had suddenly retired and surprised her by investing in the perfect little book shop that the two of them could run together… but he never mentioned his physical condition and prognosis to her. But before disease took her father out of running the shop, he saw a stranger happen to duck into the shop to escape for a few moments of peace. Then over time he witnessed this stranger begin to fall deeply in love with his daughter for all the right reasons. She must have been the only one in the city not aware of who this stranger was, and she didn’t really seem to care. And that brief and chance meeting began a most unlikely and beautiful romance between two very different and unlikely people. Dawn’s father watched as this famous stranger cared deeply for his daughter, and honored her father unconditionally.

Listen closely. A creak, almost too light to be heard… was it the shifting of an old house, or footsteps down the hallway? Breathe softly, and strain to hear through the silence. That breeze against your neck might be a draught, or an open window.

Beneath innocent appearances lurk twisted minds and scary monsters, from soft scratches behind the wall, to the paranoia of walking through a crowd and knowing that every single eye is locked on you. In this world, voices lure lost souls to the cliff’s edge and illicit drugs offer glimpses of things few should see. Scientists tamper with the afterlife, and the strange happenings at a nursing home are not what they first seem.

So don’t let that groan from the closet fool you. The monster is hiding right where you least expect it.

THE MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES…
BETWEEN TRUTH AND MYTH…
BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT…
WILL BE REVEALED.

Two hundred and fifty million years ago, an extinction-level event wiped out ninety-eight percent of life on Earth. Nobody ever suspected it was part of a cycle until now. The countdown to humanity’s next evolutionary leap has begun, but history has a way of repeating itself, and this time it could mean the end of everything.

When relic hunter Gabriel Parker and artifact historian Natasha Rossi come into possession of a mysterious prehistoric Cube, they find themselves entangled in a dark mythology reaching back to the roots of civilization. Throughout history, the long-lost Cube has been sought after by emperors, popes, and caliphs alike. Believed to be a container of forbidden knowledge, it is revered as a holy vessel capable of freeing humanity from the confines of mortality itself.

Now that the Cube has been found, dark forces are surfacing to destroy it. They herald the return of an ancient entity that once reigned supreme in Earth’s primordial past. Driven to enslave and corrupt, it will do anything to prevent humanity from uncovering the greatest secret ever entrusted to mankind.

Armed with nothing but a tattered journal, Gabriel and Natasha race from Italy to Morocco, deciphering a trail of enigmas that leads from the Rock of Gibraltar to a mysterious archaeological site hidden deep in the mountains of northern Spain. There, a prehistoric labyrinth guards humanity’s last hope.

As natural disasters escalate and the planet descends into cataclysm, Gabriel and Natasha must unravel a mystery capable of ushering humanity into its next evolutionary leap. But a cosmic clock is ticking, and when it reaches zero, the world will either rise to a higher state of evolution, or regress into the darkness of its reptilian past.

It is 1861 and the Civil War has begun to tear the United States apart, but in the Territories of Colorado and New Mexico, it is a three-sided war between the Union Army, the Confederate Army of New Mexico, and warring Native Indian tribes. Mersey Lockwood’s dream is to teach school for the children of the soldiers’ families at Fort Garland, where her father is commander. Fort Garland is a remote fort in the harsh mountains of the Colorado Territory, home to cavalry and infantry soldiers, and the tough and undisciplined men of the Colorado volunteers. Major John Steele, a Virginian, made a difficult decision to stay an officer in the Union Army, and asked to serve at the western post of Fort Union in the New Mexico Territory. But there is trouble at Fort Garland, and Major Steele is assigned to evaluate Fort Garland’s defenses and to prepare to assume command. Together, John and Mersey face the threats within the fort as the bloody battles of the Civil War advance northward into New Mexico.
