Some storms don't roll in from the ocean... they rise from the past.

Trouble has a way of finding Clark Thomas, even when he's convinced life has finally settled down. After marrying former detective Gina Gomez, he imagines days filled with comfort, routine of running his bookstore, and the quiet rhythm of coastal living. But the peace they've worked for shatters when a friend from Clark's past is found murdered beside the pool at her Surfside Beach home, and her husband is nowhere to be found.

What first appears to be a burglary gone wrong quickly proves to be anything but. The couple weren't just old friends living a carefree beachside life. They were key researchers at OceanAi, a rising powerhouse in ocean-mapping technology whose breakthroughs have drawn attention from far outside the South Carolina coast. Rumors of stolen data and accelerating off-the-record interest spread through the Grand Strand, pulling Clark and Gomez into a dangerous web of secrets.

As they dig deeper, threads from the present begin tying themselves to long-forgotten crimes and buried motives that were never meant to resurface. Every clue opens a new question. Every discovery tightens the pressure. And every step forward reveals that the shadows surrounding the case reach far wider than anyone suspected.

Navigating shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and threats coming from every direction, Clark and Gomez must rely on their instincts, their experience, and one another. What began as a simple attempt to help a friend soon becomes a race to uncover the truth before history repeats itself.

Set along the vibrant, sun-washed shores of Surfside Beach and the greater Grand Strand, Death in Surfside blends the warmth of coastal living with gripping suspense. Readers who enjoy clean thrillers, small-town crime, and character-driven mysteries will find themselves immersed in a world where every secret matters and every tide brings something new to the shore.

When the gifts fit together into a magical device that lets Laleh talk to birds, she uncovers a breathtaking secret: Her father's disappearance is part of a larger menace haunting the sanctuary. And her uncle is the likely culprit.

With the sanctuary and its feathered residents in danger, Laleh and Ivy must team up-whether they like it or not-and follow the clues through an ancient Middle Eastern legend known as The Language of the Birds. Their destination: Avesia, the mythical sky realm of perfect bird habitats.

The catch? No one has ever reached it without wings.

The Hoodoo Almanac 2026: The Bibliomancy Edition - Where Every Page Is a Prophecy

The Hoodoo Almanac 2026 is written to be consulted, not simply read. Conceived as a working almanac and living oracle, this volume invites readers to open its pages at random for bibliomantic insight, allowing the book itself to speak. Each entry functions as both reference and revelation, blending time-honored folk knowledge with divinatory practice.

Within its richly layered pages, readers will find astrological guidance, tarot-scopes, lunar and solar events, folk saints, seasonal observances, and detailed monthly calendars, alongside historical essays drawn from Hoodoo, Voudou, and Southern conjure traditions. The almanac also preserves rare archival material, cultural commentary, and accounts of ritual practice, resistance, and spiritual authority rooted in African diasporic traditions of the American South.

Written by Denise Alvarado and Carolina Dean, with a featured contribution by Mawiyah Kai El-Jamah Bomani, The Hoodoo Almanac 2026 bridges scholarship and lived tradition, folklore and foresight. Dean's essays bring an essential queer conjure perspective to the volume, illuminating how Hoodoo has long functioned as a site of survival, creativity, and spiritual authority for queer practitioners navigating family, community, and tradition.

Grounded in historical research and participant-observer knowledge, this annual volume serves equally well as a daily guide, a research companion, and a divinatory tool. It is not a novelty book or a passive calendar, but a functional reference work designed for practitioners, scholars, and culturally engaged readers seeking historically grounded, spiritually literate insight.

Whether consulted for a specific date, opened in moments of uncertainty, or used as a lens for deeper study, The Hoodoo Almanac 2026 stands as the only almanac of its kind-a working reference, a divinatory companion, and a living record of tradition, where every page is a prophecy.

Incurable Gifts is a book that defies every expectation we have about memoirs of illness. It is not a story of suffering-it's a masterclass in finding grace where none should exist.

With prose that alternates between laugh-out-loud funny and quietly devastating, O'Connell chronicles his 20-year journey with Parkinson's Disease, transforming what could have been a tale of decline into something far more profound: a meditation on what it means to truly live. His writing crackles with the energy of a career journalist who knows how to tell a story, but more importantly, knows which stories matter. From the opening scene of crawling barefoot through a parking garage to tender moments making avocado toast for his dying mother, O'Connell reveals truths about family, work, love, and mortality that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced their own limitations.

What makes this book extraordinary is O'Connell's refusal to be defined by his disease. Yes, Parkinson's forced him from a successful journalism career. Yes, it makes simple tasks monumentally difficult. But it also gave him time- to really see his mother before she died, to understand his father's legacy, time to appreciate the love of his wife, and to discover that while he spent years trying to create a professional legacy, his real legacy was sleeping down the hall.

This is a book about falling down-literally and figuratively-and finding unexpected gifts in the wreckage. It's about learning that courage isn't just running into burning buildings like his firefighter father did, but sometimes just getting out of bed. It's about discovering that the worst thing that happens to you might also teach you everything you need to know about what matters.

Incurable Gifts is itself a gift-to anyone who has faced adversity, to anyone who has wondered about their legacy, to anyone who has asked themselves if it's wonderful to be alive. O'Connell doesn't just answer that question; he shows us why the answer, despite everything, is yes.

This is a book that will make you laugh, make you cry, and most importantly, make you think differently about what it means to live a meaningful life. It's a reminder that sometimes our greatest catastrophes can become our most profound teachers, and that even an incurable disease can offer gifts we never knew we needed.
