"Brian McAuley keeps you guessing the whole gory, satisfying way through this one. Come to this retreat for the blood. Stay for the healing."

--Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of I Was a Teenage Slasher

It's a Midsommar night's Scream in this blood-soaked thriller set at a remote healing retreat from horror author Brian McAuley.

Hannah has been running from her demons ever since she emerged from a harrowing wilderness trip without her fiancé. No one knows exactly what happened the day Ben died, and Hannah would like to keep it that way... even if his ghost still haunts her with vivid waking nightmares that are ruining her life. So when her friend group gets an exclusive invitation to a restorative spiritual retreat in Joshua Tree, Hannah reluctantly agrees in search of a fresh start.

Despite her skepticism of the strange Guru Pax and his belief in the supernatural world, Hannah soon finds healing through all the yoga, sound baths, and hot springs offered at the tech-free haven. But this peaceful journey of self-discovery quickly descends into a violent fight for self-preservation when a mysterious killer starts picking off retreat attendees in increasingly gruesome ways. As the body count rises and Hannah's sanity frays, she'll have to confront her dark past and uncover the true nature of a ruthless monster hellbent on killing her vibe for good.

What happens when a 12th-century mystic, a 20th-century psychologist, and a modern-day priest walk into the Rhine Valley?

When Episcopal priest and psychotherapist Rev. Danae Ashley embarked on the Hildegard of Bingen Pilgrimage Way through Germany, she carried two unlikely companions: the revolutionary medieval abbess Hildegard and Alfred Adler, founder of Individual Psychology. What she discovered was that these three voices, separated by centuries, speak a unified language of wholeness, courage, and transformation.

Part spiritual memoir, part self-help guide, part historical exploration, My Sap is Rising invites you on a journey through the Rhine Valley and into your own healing. Through beautifully illustrated reflections, Danáe weaves together Hildegard's theology of "viriditas" (greening power), Adler's Individual Psychology, and her own experience as a therapist and pilgrim to offer a holistic path toward mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

Each chapter includes:

• Stories from the pilgrimage trail
• Insights from Hildegard's mystical writings and Adler's psychology
• Practical exercises for your own transformation
• Original illustrations by Kester Limner

Whether you're a therapist seeking to integrate spirituality into your practice, a spiritual seeker hungry for medieval wisdom, or simply curious about what it means to be "a feather on the breath of God," this book is a feast for body, mind, and spirit.

Feel your sap rising. The pilgrimage begins here.

A Powerful Memoir of Survival, Sisterhood, and Hope

After losing everything she loved, Mia Godfrey faced a choice: stay buried in grief-or grow toward grace.

In Buried, Not Broken: A Memoir of Survival, Sisterhood, and Starting Over, Mia shares her deeply personal journey through trauma, widowhood, and the rediscovery of hope. What begins as a story of heartbreak becomes a testament to faith, resilience, and the quiet strength that rises from the ashes of loss.

More than a story of pain, this memoir is a testament to resilience-the kind that grows stronger in life's darkest seasons.

For anyone who has felt unseen, unloved, or unworthy, Mia offers hope and companionship through every page. With raw honesty and grace, she reveals how loss can become the soil from which new life blooms and how even broken hearts can rediscover purpose, belonging, and joy.

Through her reflections, readers will discover:

• How to reframe pain as a path toward emotional and spiritual growth.
• Practical reflections for releasing guilt and embracing grace.
• The quiet miracles that appear in ordinary acts of kindness and connection.

Unlike traditional self-help guides, Buried, Not Broken doesn't offer quick fixes or formulas. Instead, it offers something far more powerful: the truth that hope can survive even after everything else has fallen away.

If you've ever felt buried by pain, let Mia's story remind you-you're not broken. You're being planted for something beautiful.

I'm a hopeless girl

because hoping for change

and believing in fairy tales

didn't change my fate.

Doing the ugly thing,

the hateful thing,

the wicked thing,

finally set me free.

Damaged, broken, unlovable - these are the lies the hopeless tell themselves because those who promised us a happy ending stole our choice, our voice and sometimes our will to live. But we are more than our trauma. We are truth seekers, cycle breakers, and warriors taking back what was stolen from us: a life worth living.

Fairy Tales for Hopeless Girls is a poetry collection about becoming yourself, loving yourself, and rewriting the false stories that have kept you small. Broken into five parts, this book is a path to where hope can thrive.

When the alarm sounds and lives hang in the balance, there's no time for micromanagement, ego, or empty commands. In the firehouse, leadership isn't a theory-it's survival. Fire Captain Mark Andrew has spent his career learning what separates good leaders from poor ones, often through hard-earned lessons while fighting fires.

In LEADING THROUGH THE HEAT, he distills decades of experience into a practical guide that proves the principles forged in emergency response apply to any workplace:

- Why presence matters more than micromanaging

- How to build trust when stakes are high

- The difference between commanding and inspiring

- What it means to truly care about your team

- How to transform from worker to leader

This isn't another corporate playbook filled with buzzwords and case studies. It's an honest, sometimes raw account of leadership failures and successes witnessed in one of the most demanding professions on earth. Captain Andrew doesn't just tell you what good leadership looks like. He shows you through real stories of officers who earned loyalty in the fire service's crucible and those who lost it.

Some daughters inherit empires; I chose to inherit chaos when I fell for the ringmaster.

I thought I knew what it meant to be a mobster's daughter-glitz, glam, and a family legacy that haunted my every move. But the moment I collided with Tyson, the charismatic ringmaster of the carnival, my life spiraled in a direction I never saw coming.

As the daughter of the notorious Jimmy Moretti, I was bound by an arranged marriage to a man who only saw me as an asset. But Tyson, with his rugged charm and darkness, awakened a fire within me that pushed against the constraints of my gilded cage.

But loving a man like Tyson comes with a price. As my father's empire threatens to tear us apart, I'm caught between family loyalty and the passionate freedom Tyson offers. He shows me what it means to be cherished for who I am, curves and all, but our love puts our lives at risk.

In a world where power and control reign supreme, I must find the strength to defy my father's legacy and fight for the love I deserve. Even if it means burning everything to the ground.

Welcome to the carnival, where nothing is what it seems, and love is the most dangerous game of all.

Relentless Creativity is a raw, honest exploration of what it means to create, lead, and stay human in a world obsessed with productivity, performance, and noise.

Written for thinkers, makers, and leaders who feel out of step with hustle culture, this book challenges the idea that creativity is a skill to be optimized or a brand to be polished. Instead, it reframes creativity as instinct, survival, and emotional truth.

Blending creative philosophy, cultural observation, and lived experience, Relentless Creativity confronts topics many avoid: burnout, self-doubt, ambition, identity, and the quiet cost of always trying to keep up. It asks harder questions about purpose, authenticity, and what happens when success is measured without meaning.

This is not a step-by-step guide or a motivational checklist. It is a companion for anyone who has ever felt torn between making a living and making something that matters.

Clear-eyed, emotionally intelligent, and deeply human, Relentless Creativity is an invitation to slow down, think deeper, and reconnect with why you create in the first place.
