Synopsis

Set in the valleys of South Wales at the tail end of Thatcher's Britain, The Green Indian Problem is the story of Green, a seven year-old with intelligence beyond his years – an ordinary boy with an extraordinary problem: everyone thinks he's a girl.
Green sets out to try and solve the mystery of his identity, but other issues keep cropping up – God, Father Christmas, cancer – and one day his best friend goes missing, leaving a rift in the community and even more unanswered questions. Dealing with deep themes of friendship, identity, child abuse and grief, The Green Indian Problem is, at heart, an all-too-real story of a young boy trying to find out why he's not like the other boys in his class.
Longlisted for the Bridport Prize (in the Peggy Chapman-Andrews category)

    Reign Phillips has just earned her PhD in ancient languages when her Professor returns from Greece with treasure for the University of New Mexico; fifty-six mummified remains and a puzzling sealed gold casket that doesn't seem to fit any time period. 
    Accompanying him is the man responsible for brokering the deal with the university, Damon Sarantos. Unknown to anyone, Damon himself had buried the casket almost two thousand years before. 
    Reign is a woman Damon can't ignore and desperately wants to win. Her vibrant light soothes the darkness inside him, even as it pulls her away and warns her not to love him. As she decodes the mysterious writing on the outside of the casket, Damon must work to gain her trust and win her heart. 
    Can he be the man she wants him to be? Or will they be eternally separated by his partly demonic nature? The casket holds the answer, and opening it will either bring peace or unleash a darkness that threatens to engulf the entire world. 
    Season 2 contains episodes 13-24 of "House of War & Light"

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    He’s the dangerous ally she can’t afford to trust. She’s the last detective he wanted to face. 
    Detective Eugenia “Genie” Green has one focus—climb the ranks of her Virginia precinct and prove herself in a world where every mistake is magnified. But when a brutal murder spree rocks her city, she’s paired with the one man guaranteed to test her patience: a brooding consultant with a past steeped in crime. 
    Rafael Santiago didn’t return home to chase killers. He came back to mend the years-long rift with his mother—and leave his gang ties buried. But the only way to help Genie stop a murderer is to dig into the shadows he swore he’d escaped. 
    Forced into close quarters, their clashing styles spark a slow-burning attraction neither wants to acknowledge. But with a killer closing in and their personal loyalties on the line, trusting each other might be the most dangerous move of all. 
    If you love smart, relentless heroines, brooding bad boys with redemption arcs, and edge-of-your-seat twists, RAFAEL is your next binge-worthy read.
