Sold outLet the Murderer Say Amen
As prosperity and great cultural changes sweep across 1920s Jazz Age America, Nola Ann Jackson learns more about developing her natural psychic talents from her aunt--talents that prove crucial when she investigates murder in her Black community--in this thrilling historical mystery written by a real-life psychic medium and jazz pianist. The people of Agate, Illinois, have welcomed Bishop Pius Amun Ra with open arms, flocking to become congregants of his Temple of Righteous Revelation. He has won over the hearts not only of the Black churchgoers, but of the city's white political and wealthy elite. Bishop Ra is more than a preacher of the good word, he is a faith healer, blessed with the gift on the banks of the Nile during his youth in Egypt. His worshippers believe he can cure cancer--and even raise the dead.
Sequoia LaMarche was saved by Bishop Ra, and the young white woman serves his church as a singer, receiving death threats for her efforts. Despite Ra's protection, members of the Temple's inner circle hold Sequoia in contempt, including bodyguard Sam Constant, who publicly accuses her of stealing money from the collection plate. After the confrontation, Sequoia's murdered body is discovered, and Sam becomes the police's number one suspect. Nola is a good friend of Sam's sister, believing he's innocent. Guided by her psychic instincts, she conducts her own investigation, uncovering secrets about the Bishop and the people closest to him, including his wife. The leaders of the Temple are not as righteous as they claim. Their altruism masks sins they prefer buried. And when another murder occurs, Nola must unveil the killer before she becomes the next victim . . .Sold out -

American Crown: From Revolutionaries to Royalty: The Story of Prince William's American Heritage
The fascinating story of Prince William's American ancestors, and how this often-rebellious lineage will help shape the future King of Great Britain. In this fresh and perspective-shifting narrative, American Crown is an absorbing blend of American history and royal biography that brings to life the past generations who will shape the Prince of Wales's role in the future of Britain, America and the world. For the first time, Britain will have a monarch whose ancestors fought against the very crown he bears. It all goes back to the roots of Diana, Princess of Wales whose Spencer family has a friendship with the Washington clan of Sulgrave Manor that produced the founding father of America, but more fascinating is Diana's maternal side whose American ancestors fought in the Revolution in New England, became successful in the new nation, and then (like many Gilded Age families) sent a daughter across the ocean to marry into the British elite. Other Spencers on the British side had bucked social trends in the 1770s even raised funds for the American rebels themselves. Embodying more interconnected history than any of his predecessors, William's sense of his own role in the world is markedly different from anyone who's ever held the throne. With sweeping locations from battlefields to Buckingham Palace and featuring grand personalities like Nathan Hale, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Winston Churchill, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, Stephanie Green's American Crown tells the story of a very new kind of royal family--one with the potential to bring two countries closer together in times of turmoil and bring the "special relationship" into next century.Sold out -
