  Eighty-eight-year-old Michael Doherty lies in an open coffin, listening to those who have come to pay their respects. Despite his dead son Cormac's protests, he's not yet ready to pass over. His granddaughter is the reason. Twenty-something Sarah has inexplicably abandoned her plans to settle in Spain and returned home deeply scarred by the Sandstone City, and he needs to know why.
  He is granted a special grace period of forty days. Forty days to discover and heal his granddaughter's trauma. Forty days to face his own past. Forty days to find peace before he must make his final departure.
  But Michael and Sarah are not alone. Ghosts populate the streets of Salamanca and they have a message for Sarah.
  Set between modern-day Belfast and the Spanish Civil War, The Sandstone City is a story about the decisions we make, the choices denied us, and how we navigate what's left.

   A Revolutionary Tale of Vengeance, Justice, and the Masks We Wear 
  They came in the night, wearing porcelain masks. By dawn, the aristocracy trembled. 
  Paris, 1788—A city on the edge of revolution, where the elite feast while the people starve. 
  When the Duke of Montreuil is found brutally dismembered in his locked bedchamber, Police Chief Émile Vaudrin faces an impossible case. No forced entry. No witnesses. Only a chilling message written in blood: "The Debt is Paid." 
  As more nobles fall to the masked killers known only as The Syndicate, Vaudrin is caught between duty and morality. These aren't random murders—they're executions. Each victim hides unspeakable crimes behind their powdered wigs and silk finery. 
  Vaudrin's investigation leads him into the labyrinthine catacombs beneath Paris, where he discovers the truth is more terrifying than any ghost story. The Syndicate is no supernatural force—they're something far more dangerous: ordinary people driven to extraordinary measures. 
  As revolution brews above ground, Vaudrin faces an impossible choice. Join the law he's sworn to uphold, or the vigilantes who bring a darker kind of justice? 
  "For the people. The debt is paid."

  Growing Into Greatness - A...

  She stopped waiting for her father's blessing. She never stopped wanting his love. 
  Napa Valley, 1960. Sofia Russo is forty years old, alone in her cottage, swirling a glass of Pinot Noir from her own vines. It is, by any measure, extraordinary wine. And almost no one knows she made it. 
  In one week, she is expected to stand at the opening of the Russo family tasting room and deliver a speech honoring her father's life's work — a vineyard he has spent decades preparing to hand to her twin brother. Not because Alonso wants it. Not because he is the better winemaker. But because Giovanni Russo believes that is how it must be. 
  Six years ago, she quietly claimed a small plot of neighboring land as her own — planting vines her father knows nothing about, embracing everything her beloved grandfather, Nonno, taught her about what it means to coax greatness from unforgiving soil. The wine in her glass is proof that she was right to try. 
  What Sofia doesn't know is that her father carries a secret — one rooted in grief and guilt he has never shared, a fear so old and so private that it shaped every distance he ever placed between them. He has been watching over her the whole time, in the only language he knows. 
  Spanning four decades of Russo family history — from the shadow of Prohibition through the upheaval of wartime and into the restless hope of 1960 — Growing into Greatness is a richly layered novel about a daughter and a father who love the same thing and cannot find their way to each other. About a grandfather who bridges the silence. About what it means to grow not in spite of struggle, but because of it. 
  Like the vines themselves: rooted, resilient, and reaching always toward the light. 
  For readers who love vineyard novels and wine fiction with emotional depth, family saga novels spanning multiple generations, and stories of women who claim their own lives — quietly, stubbornly, and completely.
