Four-Alarm Homicide

Diane Kelly

Some properties are too hot to handle . . . 
 
 
 
Carpenter Whitney Whitaker and her cousin Buck are hot for a historical property that has just come on the market—a fire station in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood that was built nearly a century ago. 
 
 
 
The cousins have just begun the interior demolition work at the fire station when Joanna Hartzell, who lives in a townhouse around the corner, comes by with a plea for help. Joanna owns the right half of her building, which she proudly maintains in perfect condition, while the left side falls into disrepair: the seven adult children who inherited it years ago refuse to lift a finger on repairs. Never one to turn down a challenge, Whitney and Buck manage to acquire the rundown townhouse—though it turns out Joanna is only one of the many neighbors interested in buying the property once they've worked their magic. 
 
 
 
Then Joanna shows up at the fire station confused and rambling, then collapses, never to recover. Alarm bells go off for Whitney: she suspects something—and someone—evil could be the real cause. Can she and Collin put the clues together and smoke out a killer?

Illusion - The Veil

Anshumala Singh

Welcome to the world of Illusion! As you embark on this journey with Clara and Ethan, I invite you to immerse yourself in a tale that challenges the very fabric of reality and perception. In a time when the lines between truth and illusion blur, I wanted to explore what it means to seek the truth in a world filled with deceptions. 
This novel was inspired by the questions we all grapple with: What is real? How do we discern truth in a society that often presents us with façades? Clara, our determined investigative journalist, and Ethan, the reclusive neuroscientist, embark on a quest that leads them to confront not only external forces but also the intricacies of their own minds. Together, they navigate a labyrinth of illusions, uncovering secrets that have been carefully hidden and exploring the ramifications of their discoveries. 
As you read, I hope you will reflect on your own perceptions and consider the myriad ways in which we construct our realities. The themes of this book resonate deeply in our current world, where misinformation can spread like wildfire and the search for authenticity becomes ever more vital. 
I am grateful for the opportunity to share this story with you, and I hope it inspires thought-provoking conversations and introspection long after you turn the final page. Thank you for joining me on this exploration of truth, illusion, and the complexities of the human experience.
