  All Aly wants for Christmas is her memories... 
  The world is different. Aly knows who she is, but not much else. Still, she's excited to spend the holidays with her entire family this year. If only there weren't that dead guy in the bathroom. 
  They thought the spell went well, and by all initial accounts, it did. But Aly forgot magic comes with a price, and this one's a doozy. Somehow, a man is dead. No one has any idea who he is or how he died. The Office of Magical Enforcement thinks Aly is responsible. She has to sort things out, preferably before Mom and Dad fly in for an extended Christmas stay. It's difficult enough to balance school and work and family life without also trying to solve a murder. Can Aly find out what happened or will she have herself a scary little Christmas? 
    
  Mystic Persons is the sixth book in the Shady Grove Psychic Mysteries series. This small town paranormal mystery with an amateur female sleuth will appeal to fans of Stella Bixby, Annabel Chase, Amy Boyles, and Lily Webb.

  When you let evil into your heart it makes a home there. 
  When Marianne's routine day spirals out of control and plunges her into a nightmarish life and death ordeal, she seeks revenge against those responsible. From the depths of her despair, she inveigles an artifact imbued with malevolent supernatural powers, and sets a course for her vendetta. 
  One deed after another succeeds as she exacts her revenge. Having met her objectives, she feels vindicated and ready to return to her prior life. Now she must dispose of the artifact affectionately dubbed 'Little Chappie,' which she no longer needs. 
  But Little Chappie, a fiercely loyal companion, subliminally learns of her plans to ungratefully dispose of it, and plots its ultimate revenge... on her. 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS another power-packed crime adventure from Down Under, featuring supernatural elements, from the author of such greats as 'The Second Stone' and 'Collateral Damage.' 
  "A clever, macabre thriller from Down Under, Little Chappie by Eddie Russell is an inventive tale of madness, mayhem, and the consequences of playing with fire. ... this off-kilter crime novel bristles with intensity and a compellingly surreal touch, combining off-kilter horror, a la Sam Raimi, with the pulse of a revenge thriller." ~ Independent Review of Books

  After the death of her husband, Adam, in an horrific plane crash, Gemma Sinclair defies community expectations - and Adam's dying words - by deciding to hang on to Billbinya, the 10,000-hectare station he bequeathed to her. 
   
  As if Gemma's grief and the job of looking after Billbinya aren't enough, a wave of innuendo soon sweeps the community that Adam's plane crash was no accident. Police officers confirm the rumour when they visit Gemma and tell her Adam's death was almost certainly related to his involvement in a cattle and sheep duffing ring. And not only that, but Gemma is indirectly implicated because Billbinya was used as the holding station for the stolen stock. 
   
  Intent on clearing her name, Gemma sets out to get to the bottom of what Adam was doing. In the process, she's stunned at the depths of her husband's wrongdoing and shocked at the identities of his criminal associates. 
   
  Struggling to put the past behind her, Gemma wonders if she'll ever be able to love again. In the tradition of Rachael Treasure and Di Morrissey, this heart-wrenching outback saga is the inspirational story of a woman doing her best to defy the odds and triumph over adversity. 
   
  ‘In Red Dust, McDonald breathes life into archetypal Australian characters - the loyal stockman, the shifty newcomer, the knowledgeable stock & station agent, the trusty working dog. Throw in a dead husband with a suspicious past, a contagiously lively - and impressively savvy - best friend, and couple of swoon-worthy blokes in R. M. Williams boots and you've got more than enough to keep you glued to the page through a winter's weekend.’ - TESSA WOOLDRIDGE 
   
  ‘Red Dust is a beautifully written novel which pulls together Australia’s harsh bush lifestyle, the wonderful people who make this country and their never ending determination to succeed. ... Red Dust is a novel which will entice readers to want more from a talented engaging writer.’ - DAVID CAIRNS

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  A murdered deputy. A sheriff’s office full of secrets. A case where nothing adds up. 
  When Dominion County Sheriff’s Captain Ron Neff is called to a remote crime scene in Oregon’s high desert, he finds his friend and colleague, Deputy Bill Baker, shot dead. The evidence points to a drug deal gone wrong. But as Neff digs deeper, he uncovers a tangle of contradictions that refuse to make sense. 
  Witnesses disappear. Forensic clues are tampered with—or vanish entirely. And Neff’s own department seems determined to bury the truth. 
  Then a second case surfaces—one that may be tied to Baker’s murder. It threatens to blow the investigation wide open, but pursuing it could cost Neff everything. 
  With pressure mounting and trust crumbling inside the Sheriff’s Office, Neff must navigate a maze of lies, corruption, and danger. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that someone powerful doesn’t want this case solved and is willing to kill again to keep their secrets. 
  Malice Within is a gripping, atmospheric crime thriller about murder, power, and betrayal set in the stark beauty of Oregon’s High Desert. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, James Patterson, and C. J. Box.

  “This affecting tale of a 19th-century American woman struggling to prove her worth other than as a marriage prospect leaves a lasting impression.” Publishers Weekly 
  The Lovely Bones meets the Wild, Wild West in this haunting tale inspired by a true story. 
  Pregnant out of wedlock, sixteen-year-old Annie Moore is sent to live at a convent for fallen women. When the nuns take her baby, Annie escapes, determined to find a way to be reunited with her daughter. But few rights or opportunities are available to a woman in the 1860s, and after failing to find a respectable job, she resorts to prostitution in order to survive. 
  As a highly sought-after demi-mondaine, Annie—now Bessie—garners many expensive gifts from her admirers and eventually meets and marries the son of a wealthy jeweler, a traveling salesman with a gambling problem. With her marriage, she believes her dream of returning to proper society has finally come true. She’s proven wrong when she suffers the ultimate betrayal at the hands of the man she thought would be her salvation. But Bessie doesn’t let her story end there. 
  Set against the backdrop of the burgeoning women’s rights movement, The Lives of Diamond Bessie is a captivating tale of betrayal and redemption that explores whether seeking revenge is worth the price you might pay.
