Homecoming Homicide

Kelly Brakenhoff

Knives Out meets Moana in this tropical cozy mystery full of buried secrets, found family, and one very judgmental parrot. 
Dr. Cassandra Sato can handle just about anything: campus politics, faculty feuds, and a to-do list longer than a freshman advising line. But chaperoning Midwestern students to a Honolulu tech conference? That’s supposed to be a low-key homecoming. Networking. Ocean breezes. Maybe a Mai Tai or two. 
Trouble, of course, didn’t get the memo. 
A high-tech contest using virtual reality to “time travel” through a century-old cold case sounds harmless enough… until Cassandra learns one of the victims is family. 
Soon the clues start whispering stories no history book dared to print, including a handmade quilt hiding a royal secret. Uncovering the truth could rewrite her family’s history and put a target on her back. With a cold case ready to burn hot, sometimes the biggest mystery is figuring out where you really belong. 
With her brilliant misfit students, a fiercely loyal parrot, and friends who feel more like family, Cassandra must solve the case before she becomes a footnote in its bloody history. 
Because in Hawai‘i, ohana means nobody gets left behind or forgotten. 
Can Cassandra keep that promise when the past comes for her too? 
Homecoming Homicide is perfect for fans of academic drama, island intrigue, and smart sleuths who bring lost voices to light.

The Misplaced Battleship - One...

Harry Harrison

When master thief–turned–Special Corps agent Slippery Jim diGriz uncovers blueprints that perfectly match the long-extinct Warlord-class battleships, he realizes the galaxy faces a threat no one else has even noticed. A planet that should have no interest in war is secretly building the most devastating ship ever conceived — and no one in power seems to know why.
Determined to uncover the truth, diGriz burrows through layers of forged orders, bribed officials, falsified records, and one staggeringly bold deception. But when the completed battleship vanishes and innocent ships begin turning up as drifting wreckage, diGriz is forced into a deadly pursuit against a criminal mind whose ambition is matched only by their audacity. The chase leads to betrayal, manipulation, and a reveal that even diGriz’s nimble instincts never anticipated.
Harry Harrison (1925–2012) was a legendary name in science fiction, celebrated for his sharp wit, inventive plots, and breakneck pacing. A veteran illustrator turned writer, Harrison developed a distinct style built on clever twists, cleverer heroes, and a playful disregard for authority — themes showcased brilliantly in the Stainless Steel Rat adventures.
Known for classics like Make Room! Make Room! (the basis for Soylent Green), Deathworld, and Bill, the Galactic Hero, Harrison blended humor, adventure, and social commentary in ways few writers matched. His work continues to influence sci-fi storytellers across books, comics, radio, and film.
