Jeff Somers, author of popular noir thriller The Electric Church, kicks the door in on the darkly whimsical and macabrely weird with Five Funerals: Choose Your Own Perilous Path-- a book that looks at the tongue-in-cheek nihilism of Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies and asks, "What if these kids had a bit more life in them?" What emerges is a book you never knew you wanted to read but won't want to put down.

The graduating class of Bishop Carlbus Prep has a secret.

The Outing Party is a tradition at Bishop Carlbus, a semi-illicit party hosted by a senior student after the annual Outing, a weekend field trip taken by the graduating class every year. In 1995, Amy Keaton is determined to host a legendary Outing Party, but everything goes wrong. Her classmates are rude. Someone seems to be sabotaging her plans. And, as the night goes on, resentment and rage start driving everyone to extremes. The party spins out of control: by the next morning, Amy Keaton is dead, and twenty-five kids have a soul-crushing secret.

In 2015, six Bishop Carlbus Prep alumni-Victor, Kate, Leo, Titus, Ida, and Winnie-gather for the funeral of their old high school classmate Zillah. They soon realize that they are now the sole surviving members of the Class of 1995-everyone else who attended Amy Keaton's Outing Party is dead. And many of those deaths are bizarre and shocking. Sucked dry by leeches. Consumed by mice. Swept out to sea.

The survivors begin piecing together the events of the last two decades, and wonder: Is someone hunting them? Are they next?

And, maybe, do they deserve to be next?

She was the daughter of a queen. But she was not a princess.

Scottie O'Shay has the perfect life as creative director for her family's beloved men's fashion brand, which she embraces with grit, style, and southern charm. But when a reporter's exposé reveals shocking secrets, she discovers she's not just Scottie O'Shay anymore. She's the secret daughter of the Queen of Lauchtenland.

Eager to know the mother who gave her up, Scottie flies to Europe for a brief visit only to find herself entangled in animosity and palace intrigue. Then there's Michael Cross-a devoted protection officer whose piercing eyes and quiet strength make her feel dangerously at home.

Michael has loved and lost before. He won't risk his heart again-especially not for an American clothing heiress who's determined to cling to her O'Shay family roots.

Yet when a late-night kiss in a hidden doorway melts duty into devotion, neither one can deny the affection growing between them. Together they'll discover a legacy of secrets and forgiveness powerful enough to heal a fractured kingdom.

On the verge of truly falling in love, devastating news from home yanks Scottie from her personal fairy tale into reality. She faces an impossible choice-the safe ground of Tennessee or the uncharted waters of Lauchtenland where love and a royal crown await.

From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck, To Win a Crown is a tender, slow-burn royal romance about letting go and discovering a love greater than your deepest desires.

The dead don't haunt Warlow. The living do.

On a freezing February morning in Fishguard, refuse collector Kerry Mitchell discovers the body of seventeen-year-old Nicholas Vernon hidden among black bin bags near Tower Hill. The boy has been stabbed once and left to die in the cold. For DI Evan Warlow, already facing imminent heart surgery, the case arrives at a moment when time feels both urgent and uncertain.

Nicholas is revealed as an intelligent but isolated teenager, deeply interested in horror films and media studies, and quietly burdened with caring for his fragile parents. CCTV places him walking alone late at night toward the abandoned Captain's House overlooking the town-a decaying landmark tangled in myth and increasingly used by urban explorers and online thrill-seekers. Evidence recovered there points to a violent encounter, but motive remains unclear.

Suspicion soon falls on Mark Reid, a homeless man with severe mental health problems who shelters intermittently in the building. Under mounting media pressure, senior officers push for swift reassurance. Reid is arrested after a chaotic confrontation but proves unstable and incapable of coherent interview, later self-harming in custody. As forensic leads collapse and alternative suspects are eliminated, Warlow grows increasingly uneasy at how readily a vulnerable man has been turned into a public villain.

Forced back to first principles, the team re-examine the smallest details and uncover a different truth. Nicholas's death was not premeditated, but the result of a prank gone wrong, linked to a viral "Spookery" challenge encouraging teenagers to frighten each other in abandoned places. Startled and panicked, two local boys encountered Nicholas in the dark. One lashed out with a knife. Fear, silence, and a disastrous cover-up followed.

As the truth emerges, families are shattered and responsibility laid bare-not just for the killing, but for the choices that allowed it to happen. Collapsing under the strain, Warlow is finally forced to step away and confront his own mortality.

Cross Cut is a measured, unsettling exploration of unintended harm, moral panic, and the cost of misplaced certainty, asking how easily fear becomes violence-and how difficult justice can be when the truth cuts across everything we want to believe.

Tense, gritty, and impossible to put down, CROSS CUT marks the nineteenth outing from bestselling crime author Rhys Dylan. A must-read for fans of JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and Peter Robinson.

What happens when real-life trauma collides with unshakable faith?

SWAT: Seeking Wisdom and Truth is a powerful, story-driven Christian book that takes readers into the front lines of law enforcement-and the front lines of the soul. Drawing from more than two decades of police work, author Jon Zirpolo shares true, raw experiences from patrol cars, crash scenes, swamps, schools, and homes where life hangs in the balance.

But this is not just a book of police stories.

Each chapter connects real-world encounters with timeless biblical truth, offering honest reflections on faith, doubt, failure, contentment, temptation, grief, worth, and redemption. From devastating accidents and encounters with addiction to moments of compassion, conviction, and grace, Zirpolo challenges readers to examine what it truly means to be Seeking Wisdom and Truth-not just in belief, but in action.

Using Scripture, personal storytelling, and thoughtful reflection questions, SWAT speaks directly to:

• Christians struggling with doubt or spiritual burnout
• Readers wrestling with guilt, trauma, or past mistakes
• Those searching for purpose, hope, and renewed faith
• Small groups, Bible classes, men's studies, and personal devotion

This book does not shy away from hard topics-including death, addiction, suicide, and brokenness-but it always points back to God's mercy, the value of every soul, and the transforming power of the gospel.

You're either seeking wisdom and truth-or you're not.

This is not a spectator's journey.

This is SWAT school.

The Forbidden Manuscript That Cost Its Author Her Life

On June 1, 1310, Marguerite Porete was burned at the stake in Paris.
Her crime was not a deed, but a book.

The Mirror of Simple Souls was so radical, so dangerously free, that Church authorities attempted to erase it from history. Yet the text survived-copied in secret, translated anonymously, passed hand to hand by those who recognized its truth.

This book is not theology.
It is not doctrine.
It is a map of inner freedom.

Written for seekers who sense that surrender-not effort-is the final path, The Mirror of Simple Souls describes the soul's return to its source, beyond virtue, beyond striving, beyond fear.

What happens to the river when it meets the sea?
It does not disappear.
It loses its narrow banks-and becomes the Ocean.

This is the journey to that Sea of Peace.

A Voice That Refused to Submit

Marguerite Porete was a Beguine-a woman of deep contemplation who lived outside the Church's formal vows. When charged with heresy, she maintained an eighteen-month sovereign silence, refusing to defend herself before inquisitors.

Why?

Because, as her book makes clear, those governed by Reason cannot judge a soul governed by Love.

Her writing unfolds as a sharp and luminous dialogue between Lady Love, Lady Reason, and the Soul itself-revealing a spirituality that bypasses obedience, effort, and self-improvement, and moves instead toward radical inner emptiness.

For over five hundred years, this work survived only in fragments and hidden translations.

Until now.

The 2026 Modernized Restoration

This edition is a carefully modernized restoration of the landmark 1927 English translation by Clare Kirchberger.

It preserves 100% of the original content, metaphors, and theological logic, while removing the barriers of archaic syntax and medieval phrasing. Nothing has been added. Nothing has been softened.

For the first time, Marguerite Porete's voice emerges with clarity, defiance, and startling modern relevance.

Inside This Book, You Will Discover:

• The Seven States of Being
  A precise map of the soul's ascent-from the Valley of Dread to the Summit of Glory.

• The Trial of the Will
  The soul's consent to be undone, discovering a union that persists even in suffering and death.

• The M.N. Glosses
  Essential 15th-century "guardrail" notes that illuminate the text's most radical and controversial passages.

• Sovereign Dialogue
  The unforgettable exchanges between the Soul, Lady Reason, and Lady Love-where spiritual authority is overturned.

This Book Is Not for Everyone

Marguerite Porete warned that everything written about the Divine is "only noise" compared to the lived experience.

This book is not meant to be studied.
It is meant to work on you.

Read not with your intellect, but with your heart.

If you are ready to release effort, identity, and control-
to take leave of Reason and enter the life of Freedom-
you are already closer than you think.

Join the lineage of the Simple Souls who passed beyond the point of the spear
and found their home in the Far Night.

New York Times Bestseller

The inspiration for the upcoming Amazon Prime Video series Scarpetta--starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis!

In this relaunch of the electrifying, landmark #1 bestselling thriller series, chief medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta hunts those responsible for two wildly divergent and chilling murders.

"Autopsy revitalizes this venerable series and its beloved cast of characters... Whether you're revisiting the indomitable Scarpetta or meeting her for the very first time, this is an ideal (re)entry point." - Criminal Element

Forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta has come almost full circle, returning to Virginia, the state where she launched her storied career, as the chief medical examiner. Finding herself the new girl in town once again after being away for many years, she's inherited both an overbearing secretary and a legacy of neglect and potential corruption.

She and her husband, Benton Wesley, now a forensic psychologist with the U.S. Secret Service, have relocated to Old Town Alexandria, where she's headquartered five miles from the Pentagon in a post-pandemic world that's been torn apart by civil and political unrest. After just weeks on the job, she's called to a scene by railroad tracks--a woman's body has been shockingly displayed, her throat cut down to the spine--and as Scarpetta begins to follow the trail, it leads unnervingly close to her own historic neighborhood.

At the same time, a catastrophe occurs in a top secret labo­ratory in outer space, endangering at least two scientists aboard. Appointed to the highly classified Doomsday Commission that specializes in sensitive national security cases, Scarpetta is summoned to the White House and tasked with finding out exactly what happened. But even as she remotely works the first potential crime scene in space, an apparent serial killer strikes again very close to home.

Autopsy captivates readers with the shocking twists, high-wire tension, and forensic detail that Patricia Cornwell is famous for, proving once again why she's the world's #1 bestselling crime writer.

This definitive biography examines the life and leadership of Gavin Newsom with clarity, balance, and depth-tracing his journey from a childhood shaped by privilege and disruption to the center of American political power.

More than a chronological account, this biography explores how ambition, urgency, and resilience have defined Newsom's rise. It follows his early struggles with dyslexia, his formation through Jesuit education and entrepreneurship, and his rapid ascent through San Francisco politics. The book examines the moment that thrust him onto the national stage as mayor, the hard lessons of governing a complex city, and the quieter years of preparation that followed.

At the heart of this biography is Newsom's governorship of California-a period marked by climate leadership, economic tension, historic wildfires, pandemic governance, media scrutiny, and a high-stakes recall election. With measured analysis, the book separates symbolic power from structural reality, showing what leadership can achieve-and where it meets its limits.

The biography also situates Newsom as a national figure, unpacking his media strategy, partisan confrontations, and growing relevance beyond California. It critically examines his published works, including Citizenville and Young Man in a Hurry, treating them not as confessions but as strategic efforts to shape narrative and legacy.

Written with restraint and insight, this book does not seek to praise or condemn. Instead, it offers readers a clear-eyed portrait of a political life still in motion-one shaped by contradiction, tested by crisis, and unfinished by design.

Ideal for readers interested in American politics, leadership under pressure, and the forces shaping the next generation of national power. Get your copy now!
