More about Cradle of Conflict from Michael Embry
I’ve written the John Ross novels to focus on various aspects of life after retirement and aging. They enabled me to discuss topics from family matters to friendships to health issues and everything in between, mostly from John’s perspective as an aging baby boomer in an unpredictable world.
John and his wife, Sally, along with their adult children, Chloe and Brody, are far from the perfect family, as appearances can be deceiving. They have their share of faults and weaknesses, but they try to overcome the obstacles they encounter. And along the way, they provide me with a wealth of storylines.

More about In Plain Sight from Jewel Adams and Bev Haynes
I’ve always loved reading Amish Romance books. Imagine my surprise when I looked through my grandmother’s old cookbook passed down to her from her own grandmother and found notations about the Pennsylvania Dutch background of my ancestors.
Ancestory.com was helpful in tracking down my third great-grandmother who wrote down her recipes, now faded and difficult to read, but I remember having certain dishes at family dinners.
This spurred my interest in writing an Amish novel.
My close friend, Jewel Adams, offered to help me write the book as she had lived near Amish settlements. With her firsthand knowledge, we wrote In Plain Sight.

More about Night of the Scarab from Karen Hudgins
Writing Night of the Scarab was a fun experience as I was able to research ancient Egyptian culture, sarcophagi, structures, and religious beliefs—like the afterlife. Peppering this mystery novella with things from the 19th Dynasty appealed to me because it seemed a bit different from my other stories and made this one a bit larger than life. I also took a short drive to the Sand Dunes, crossed the creek to walk on the dunes. Hands-on research is great.
Motives for murder never come easy for me while writing mysteries. I strive for believability while showing the darker side of human nature. Generally, I use a character-driven approach. Suspects like Brett Washburn are a hoot to create, as they can be down-to-earth, quirky, show impaired reasoning, give attitude, or they can be completely off their rocker.
Puzzle-solving offers me the chance to showcase the prowess of Diane Phipps, P.I., who wins the war against crime case-by-case in her humanistic way. Showing how good can overcome evil gives hope. Thanks for reading! More of my books can be found at https://books2read.com/ap/8GWNL4/Karen-Hudgins

by Deena Lindstedt
Was Elizabeth (Ely) Trentham only just the second wife of Edward deVere, the 17th Earl of Oxford? Or, should she be properly recognized as the authentic Shakespeare?
The story of the genius of Ely is revealed, from her childhood to the ten years as a maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth I, her marriage to deVere and their collaboration, and why they needed to hire Wm Shaksper as their front. After Edward’s death in 1604, Ely continued to write plays until her death in 1612, the same year “Shakespeare” retires. Unbeknownst to anyone, Ely leaves clues behind waiting to be discovered even though it will take 400 hundred years to do so.
