  Griffin O’Shea is trapped. 
  Again.  
  His prison sentence was supposed to end when the magic keeping the Dark Fae captive in Myrkur finally fell. But when King Egan’s army clashed with the armies of Iskalt and Fargelsi on the battlefield, there was no winner and no clear path forward.  
  Now the Dark Fae king is missing, vanished without a trace of the army at his back or the abducted child leading him to the prize he desires. The magic held in Aghadoon. 
  With no way to locate the forever moving village, Griffin can only set his sights on a more attainable goal—saving Eldur from the coming invasion. The desert kingdom is Egan’s next target and there is no magic strong enough to stop him.  
  Until now.  
  Joining forces with people who do not trust him may prove foolish.  
  Allying himself with the ones he isn’t allowed to love brings unimaginable pain. 
  Yet, with Riona and Gulliver by his side, Griffin can handle the unwanted magic that has returned to haunt him, the brother who hates him, and the questions with answers that could change everything.  
  But none of that will matter if Egan isn’t stopped, because now, it isn’t only the fae realm in danger of succumbing to his darkness, but the human realm as well.  
  As Griffin begins to lose hope that he can save his family and earn their trust again, he starts to wonder… 
  Will he ever truly be free? 
  Fae's Promise is the sixth book in the Queens of the Fae series featuring fae out for redemption, others desiring revenge, and an entire world that desperately needs to remember the things that have been lost to magic.

  An Obsession. A Red Dress. A Mystery That Unravels the Mind. 
  From his window, he watches her every day. The beautiful woman in the red dress. Always the same red dress. Always leaving at exactly 8:00, only to return moments later, repeating the routine like a haunting ritual. 
  For three years, her strange behavior has consumed his thoughts, drawing him deeper into an obsession he can’t explain. Why does she keep returning? Why does she wear the same red dress every day? 
  His curiosity turns to desperation, and in a moment of reckless curiosity, he sends his drone into her apartment. What he sees shatters his reality. A room too perfect, too symmetrical—almost inhuman. A row of identical red dresses hanging in unnerving precision. An immaculate apartment where nothing is out of place, yet everything feels wrong. 
  Then his drone crashes. And his life changes forever. 
  As his paranoia grows, so does the mystery. Who is the woman beyond his window? Why does her world feel like an illusion? And who is truly watching whom? 
  The Woman Beyond My Window is a psychological thriller that explores the thin line between obsession and madness, perception and reality. A haunting tale that will leave you questioning everything, including your own reflection. 
  Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and mind-bending mysteries. 
  Are you ready to look beyond the window?

  The Sounds of the ‘50s

  Born in Mississippi, a young kid named Elvis Presley came to Memphis as a teenager and changed music forever. Fusing country and rhythm and blues with rock, Elvis brought traditional African-American sounds to the forefront of music in the 1950s, but he did so as a handsome white man before the height of the Civil Rights Movement. On top of that, his famous stage fright led to the hip gyrations that would make him the envy of young girls and the scorn of their parents. What followed was rock music’s perfect storm. Managed by Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis became the biggest music act in the world, producing holiday classics, love ballads, and up-tempo rock songs that all hit the top of the charts in the late ‘50s. Elvis merged the quintessential rock star looks with success, scoring nearly 20 #1 singles. With live broadcasts on TV appearances and movie roles, Elvis became a pop culture fixture and a music icon that made even The Beatles giddily nervous to meet him. 
  America has always celebrated its star entertainers, but Frank Sinatra remains a unique American legend. A pop culture fixture for over half a century, Sinatra’s music is still cherished, and his persona remains its own archetype of the quintessential American star. Sinatra transcended genres to the extent that his music stands alone as its own kind of American music, with songs like “New York, New York,” “Chicago,” and “Come Fly With Me” instantly recognizable among all Americans. Of course, there was also the life that went with the music. The cultural identity of the Rat Pack, epitomized in the 1960 film Ocean’s Eleven, further contributed to his fame, and everyone knows and appreciates the image of easy living, smooth voice and exuberant starpower that Sinatra represents.
