  After a scandalous arrest in San Francisco, Carissa Carmichael has moved back to her small Southern California hometown to start over as she opens her Aromatherapy Apothecary shop and reflexology services. A tourist destination, Oak Creek Valley seems the perfect place to put the past behind her, but it seems no one will let her forget, especially her high school nemesis, Lacie. When Carissa finds her frenemy murdered after having a public altercation at the town's playwright conference and festival, she becomes the primary suspect. It doesn't help that the tarot cards she drew earlier in the day foretold the nature of the murder weapon. Despite her father's position as Oak Creek Valley's chief of police, the detective assigned to the case assumes she's guilty. 
   
  When tarot death cards begin turning up to taunt her, Carissa not only has to prove her innocence to keep her freedom, she has to make sure death doesn't come calling for her or those she loves. With the suspects acting as slippery as the essential oils she distills, it's up to Carissa to apply pressure and sniff out the truth before it's too late.

  THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
  Book 1 of 6 Dawn of the galactic federation of light 
  This is the first book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
  In 2035, the universe faces annihilation by the Dark Armada, led by the malevolent Void King. The Galactic Federation of Light, a diverse alliance of civilizations, unites to resist. Led by High Elder Zynara, Commander Kael Draxus, Queen Aelara, Archon Voryn, and Oracle Luminos, they strategise at the Luminara Citadel. In the Battle of the Nebula Veil, they repel the Dark Armada using unity, advanced technology, and the power of the Source. Despite victory, the Void King remains a threat. In a final confrontation, Kael defeats him, ending the war. The Federation emerges stronger, ushering in a new era of hope and vigilance.  
  This is the first in a series of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.  
  The story itself runs to about 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.

  Sara and her family needed a fresh start after a tragedy that ruined many lives. They have found peace since arriving at their new home in the Kielder Forest National Park twelve months ago.

Sara tries to pretend everything is normal, but in reality she is haunted by a devastating truth about one of her children. 
   
   
   
  Travis has a reputation as a counselor skilled at helping troubled teens. He has been watching Sara. He sees her fragility, and believes that he can fix her and her eldest son. Like his mother, Scott barely speaks, and has a look in his eye that hints at unimaginable trauma. If Travis could only get close to Sara she would see that he can protect her, and put an end to their suffering.
