  Hooks Can Be Deceiving

  Molly Pink's excitement level is off the hook: The Craftee Channel's new cable talk show "Creating with Crochet" has scheduled an upcoming taping at the bookstore. While she's there, TV host Rory Graham is to work with the Tarzana Hookers on a Make and Take bracelet project to draw bookstore customers to the yarn section. It's a win-win . . . or so it "seams." 
   
   
   
  The situation gets a bit knotted when channel producer Michael Kostner confides to Molly his concern that Rory may have oversold her ability as a crocheter. When the producer's worst fears are realized, it's up to Molly to make sure Rory comes through. 
   
   
   
  Guiding Rory through crocheting-for-beginners will have to wait, though, as Molly suddenly has to untangle the mysterious death of a new Tarzana Hookers member. Marianne Freeman and her live-in companion, Connie Richards, haven't exactly been gabby since they joined the Hookers, but Connie's voice is silenced permanently when she is electrocuted while walking on a wet lawn—electrified by an old radio plugged into a faulty extension cord. The fingers point at Marianne, but Molly is fast on the case to protect one of her own. Was Marianne the killer . . . or the intended target? Why does her younger brother want to keep her from talking to the cops? And why is this whole case starting to remind Molly Pink of an old TV movie?

  Siphon and Specter Part 1

  In a dimension where reality bends and betrayal breathes, rookie smuggler Nate stumbles into Ipsulor—a realm of warped gravity, rogue portals, and one rule: trust no one. His mission? Deliver the Siphon, a device powerful enough to dismantle the Rifters Guild's ironclad control over interdimensional travel. But when a cunning con artist, Kysta, strips him of the Siphon—and his dignity—Nate's simple job spirals into a lethal game of shifting allegiances. 
  Kysta, revealed as the brilliant double-agent Laneea, plays both sides: selling the Siphon to her volatile ex-lover, crime lord Kroost, while manipulating Nate through her unwitting pawn, the enigmatic Jeek. Meanwhile, the fanatical Rifters Guild deploys Ziidik, a merciless enforcer, to hunt down every traitor—including Laneea's crew—with sadistic precision. 
  Teamed with Avee, a shape-shifting guide as unpredictable as Ipsulor itself, Nate navigates neon-drenched criminal empires and the Guild's slaughterhouses. But when a reckless venture into the Grey Realm binds an ancient specter to Laneea's psyche, the stakes detonate. As factions collide in the labyrinthine city of Fornryre, attraction ignites between Nate and Laneea—even as her spectral hitchhiker plots its own catastrophic rebirth. 
  In a crescendo of chaos, Laneea gambles everything to unleash the specter into Ipsulor's portals, crippling the Guild in a storm of disintegrating enforcers. But victory bleeds into dread: the entity within her stirs, hungry. Reality fractures. Trust shatters. And Nate realizes too late that in Ipsulor, every alliance is a trapdoor—and survival demands becoming as ruthless as the dimension itself. 
  A high-octane blend of interdimensional heists, psychic horrors, and noir-esque betrayal, SIPHON AND SPECTER Part 1 pits flawed schemers against collapsing realities—where the greatest threat isn't the Guild… but what they've unleashed.

  Only a Ghost

  Whispers in the literary realm speak of a cryptic tale known as "Only a Ghost!" penned by none other than Irenæus the Deacon himself. But hark! This is no ordinary travelogue, for it is a work of humor and fiction that was brought to life by Sabine Baring-Gould. It is said that the spirit of Irenæus, once belonging to the church of 4th century Jerusalem, haunts the streets of the "most religious city of the world" in the year 1870. Within the pages of this eerie masterpiece, Baring-Gould reveals the spine-tingling account of Irenæus' bewilderment at the state of Christianity - one that is fraught with hypocrisy, superficiality, and superstition. And yet, as fate would have it, the unsuspecting citizens of London also find themselves awestruck by Irenæus' unwarranted thoughts.

  Discernment

  Cedric Willow is a middle-aged journalist and senior warden at St. Bartholomew by the Lake, a small Episcopal parish in Minneapolis. St. Bart's church is a widely admired icon of mid-century modern architecture, but its congregation is aging and attendance is on the decline. When the incumbent rector resigns, Cedric forms a search committee—a "discernment" committee, in Episcopal parlance—and embarks on a nine-month search for a new spiritual leader. 
  Complicating his task: a bitter feud between two members of the vestry, the fact that he's an atheist, and a disruptive voice in his head called Op Ed. There's also the Church Lady, a mousy junior warden who aspires to his position, who strikes him as pious to a fault, and with whom he is falling in love. 
  Discernment is a novel about trying to do the right thing in a world with no easy answers, and what happens when altruism and self-interest collide.

  ‘A brilliantly funny and unique story about love, loss, family and fitting in. I laughed, I cried - I loved it.’ Holly Martin 
  The perfect house, the perfect husband and the perfect life... or is she just faking it? 
  Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster for Ella. Growing up as the 'less successful' identical twin to her 'perfectly successful' sister, Emma, has left her feeling isolated, inadequate and let's face it... a little bitter. 
  When Emma unexpectedly reaches out to Ella in a time of need, Ella suddenly finds herself with the opportunity to fill in for her sister and experience how the other half live. 
  But as Ella navigates the world of gossiping mothers, rebellious teens and trying to play the model housewife (not to mention avoiding the temptation of attractive men at the school gates...) will she discover that all is not always as it seems on the other side?
