  They can’t agree on anything—except that the job comes first. 
  Dandelion “Andi” Bloom has sacrificed a lot for her career in the Army. Now that she’s retired, playing security guard at Bloom’s Farm for high-profile events is a welcome change of pace. That is, until hosting a string of political events means working with a Secret Service detail – including a certain special agent she would have rather left behind in Virginia. 
  Special Agent Ross McClain takes his job seriously. Even if he has to come to Middle of Nowhere, Indiana to work events for the vice presidential candidate. On Bloom’s Farm, Ross runs into a familiar—and unwelcoming—face. Could this assignment get any worse? 
  Despite their mutual disdain, Andi and Ross must work together to provide security for the farm and the candidate. As the assignment goes on, it becomes impossible not to clash over every decision—and even harder to deny their growing chemistry. 
  Dancing with Dandelion is Book 6 in the Bloom Sisters Series. This small town, family saga is full of heartwarming themes, swoony-worthy kisses, and sweet happy endings.

  A boy on a quest. 
  A dragon determined to stop him. 
  An immersive fantasy adventure that's safe for the whole family to enjoy. 
  Arik might be a twelve-year-old prince of the Lower Moors, but he faces the same struggles other boys his age are dealing with. Hunting, it turns out, is harder than he thought it would be, and learning to control his temper and mastering swordplay require daily practice. Still, despite his troubles, Arik loves his family and his friends, which means his world is turned upside down when a dragon attacks his village. 
  Even worse is when his father - renowned warrior of the Lower Moors - fails to defeat the beast and is terribly wounded instead. 
  While suffering the blow of his father's injury, the last thing Arik expects is for a wizard to appear and send him on a quest. But that's just what the wizard does. 
  Armed with the ancient sword of the High King, a dragon's eye, and a magic mirror with an attitude, Arik must set forth on a quest that will lead him through the Redwood Mountains. Along the way, he makes friends and enemies, meets monsters, faces fae, and accidentally gets himself a (very) unwilling brownie companion. 
  And though he doubts himself when he begins, Arik finds that he not only should but must change into the man his family and friends need him to be. Because if he can't, the ancient sword will never be delivered to the High King, and the entire realm will fall under the shadow of the dragon. 
  Get this book today to experience an epic quest that your whole family can enjoy! This safe-for-everyone middle-grade epic dragon fantasy will immerse your young (and old) readers in the deep world of fantasy on a journey full of action, humor, lore, and magic, and what being a hero truly means.

  Imagine embarking on a captivating journey through the Bible, not as a religious text, but as a historical chronicle. This is the invitation extended by Werner Keller's renowned book, "The Bible as History." Published in 1955, it delves into the fascinating intersection of archaeological discoveries and biblical narratives, painting a vivid picture of the ancient world inhabited by prophets, kings, and everyday people.Keller, a German journalist with a keen eye for detail, masterfully guides readers through three distinct sections. Part I sets the stage, introducing the land of Israel and its inhabitants throughout history. We encounter bustling cities, towering monuments, and the ebb and flow of empires that left their mark on the region.Part II embarks on a thrilling exploration of biblical beginnings. From the creation story to the epic Exodus, Keller meticulously examines archaeological evidence that sheds light on these foundational narratives. He deciphers ancient inscriptions, analyzes unearthed artifacts, and compares biblical descriptions to historical records, piecing together a compelling tapestry of the past.The final section, Part III, traces the captivating journey from Moses to Jesus. We witness the rise and fall of kingdoms, the evolution of religious practices, and the emergence of pivotal figures who shaped the course of history. Keller's meticulous research illuminates the social, political, and cultural context of the New Testament, offering fresh perspectives on familiar stories."The Bible as History" is not without its critiques. Some scholars challenge Keller's interpretations, urging a more cautious approach to reconciling faith and historical analysis. However, the book's undeniable strength lies in its ability to ignite curiosity and spark meaningful conversations about the Bible's place in the grand narrative of human history.

  The start of a new historical 4-part series from MJ Porter focusing on events around the great battle of Brunanburh 
  ** In the battle for power, there can be only one ruler.** 
  AD925 Athelstan is the king of the English, uniting the petty kingdoms of Wessex, Mercia, the Danish-held Five Boroughs and York following the sudden death of his father, King Edward. 
  His vision is to unite the realms of the Scots and the Welsh in a peace accord that will protect their borders from the marauding threat of the Norse Vikings. 
  Whilst seemingly craving peace and demanding loyalty with an imperium over every kingdom, Athelstan could dream of a much bigger prize. 
  But danger and betrayal surround his best intentions, namely from his overlooked stepbrother, Edwin, who conspires and vies for what he deems is his rightful place as England's king. 
  As ever, powerful men who wish to rule do not wish to be ruled, and Constantin of the Scots, Owain of Strathclyde, and Ealdred of Bamburgh plot their revenge against the upstart English king, using any means necessary. 
  An epic story of kingsmanship that will set in motion the pivotal, bloody Battle of Brunanburh where allies have to be chosen wisely...  Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Matthew Harffy and Peter Gibbons
