No Room For Regret: In the early 19th century, 18-year-old James Tedder, chained and confined below deck, grapples with the grim reality of life as a prisoner on the convict ship Indefatigable. As it departs London in 1812, Sarah Blay watches in despair, her husband and friend James aboard, bound for a new world. A year later, Sarah embarks on a perilous 14-month voyage with her three young sons to join her husband in Van Diemen's Land. But will she regret her decision, and will they be able to endure the challenges ahead?
 
The Runes Of Victory: In 798 AD, the peaceful life of deer herder Deormund changes when Vikings arrive to raid the isle of Sceapig. After killing their chieftain, Deormund takes his sword as a trophy. Tasked by the Archdeacon of Canterbury to defend the island, Deormund prepares to face a fearsome foe. But what power do the inscriptions on the blade have, and why are the Vikings so driven to reclaim it?
 
Varangian: In mid-11th century Constantinople, duplicity and death reign supreme. Within its walls, treachery, debauchery and power politics are part of the lives of the ruling elite. Thrust into this mix is the Viking adventurer, Harald Hardrada. Life in the court of the deranged emperor, Michael the Fifth, holds extreme danger at every turn. Soon, Harald becomes a pawn in the various factions' thirst for power. Can he survive this dangerous place, and turn his mind towards regaining what is rightfully his?

    This novel is a humble tribute to the sublime and heartbreaking love between the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani and his last muse, Jeanne Hébuterne. It traces the tender arc of their brief yet incandescent love story, beginning in 1917 when they first met, and ending in 1920 with their tragic and untimely deaths. 
    Modigliani, already frail from illness and weighed by poverty and artistic struggle, found in Jeanne not only a muse but a soul mirror—an echo of his pain, passion, and longing. Jeanne, young and gentle, was drawn to the fire and depth of the man whose eyes rarely painted pupils but always saw souls. 
    Their love—fraught with hardships, shadowed by illness, and sealed by death—was not of this world. And yet, it was in death that they were finally reunited: ten years after Jeanne’s suicide, her family allowed her to be buried beside Amedeo, completing the love story they began in life. 
    This story is not only about tragedy. It is about transcendence. It is about love so radiant, so all-consuming, it becomes eternal. 
    To all who have ever loved deeply, and lost deeply—this story is for you.

    During World War II, the Night Witches were the only all-female fighting force facing the dreaded German Luftwaffe. These 18 to 23 year-old Russian women became the first in the world to fly combat missions. The young pilots of these first “stealth” bombers were among the most feared units by the Germans during the war. The Night Witches, as the Germans called them, were also the most highly decorated regiment in the Soviet air force, despite derision by their male counterparts. They were heroes in the truest sense of the word.

    On the Fourth of July in 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad announced plans to expand their line into the remote mountains of Dakota Territory. They chose a site near Crow Creek Crossing to be their headquarters and named it Cheyenne. Almost immediately, new residents began to arrive: dreamers and schemers, drifters and grifters, good folks and bad. The owners of Union Pacific knew there'd be problems. Between settling disputes, laying down tracks, and keeping the peace, they'd need a troubleshooter. A reliable man of steely resolve. A concealed weapon . . . 
     
     
     
    His name is Derringer. Like the gun. 
     
     
     
    Arriving by cattle car with two of his beloved horses, Jesse Derringer is not your typical railroad employee. With the eyes of a scout, he looks for trouble before it becomes a problem for the construction crews—and sometimes starts trouble himself. Usually he handles hot-tempered troublemakers with a cool head and steady hand. But then there are problems that are more complicated and it's Derringer's job to defuse them—before they ignite a full-blown bloodbath. 
     
     
     
    Jesse Derringer is about to learn the true definition of trouble-shooting.

Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
    Set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, this novel follows Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nurse who leaves behind a privileged but sheltered life in California to serve on the front lines. In the chaos of combat hospitals, she forges unbreakable bonds with fellow nurses while enduring the unrelenting toll of war. Returning home, Frankie expects gratitude but instead encounters silence, denial, and erasure of her service. Struggling with grief, trauma, and the loss of her place in a world that refuses to see her, she must learn to rebuild her life, find her voice, and honor the women who stood beside her. Both harrowing and inspiring, this story illuminates the courage of women whose sacrifices were long overlooked, asking what it truly means to serve, to survive, and to heal.
