Agapéd Bearer: Embassy Saints
"The Favored, the Cursed, the Nobody, and the Agapéd."Life has become a blur of magic, potions, and blood-soaked battles for Lisa Rae Robbie ever since she fled the Kingdom of Boolavogue on the day they buried their youngest King. Her role as the Agapéd Bearer, the Slayer of the Fallen, was supposed to end the day he died, but the immortal magic stayed with her. Lisa doesn't understand why.
Fate brings a new Chairman to the Magic Embassy, and he wants to work with Lisa, reinvigorating the Embassy with the Agapéd Bearer by his side. The only problem is Lisa's heart: It hasn't healed from when she last defeated the Fallen four months ago.
Begrudgingly, Lisa agrees to be guarded by three soldiers until her heart is healed. They are nothing more than her bodyguards-certainly not friends. But as Lisa's nightmares resurface and her past comes to haunt her again, these three soldiers may be the ones who finally help her vanquish the terrors binding her soul.
Embassy Saints is a magic-spilling story of redemption, marking a new epic beginning in The Agapéd Bearer Saga.

Margaret Fell's "Women's Speaking Justified" in Modern English
Written in the prison of Lancaster Castle in 1666 (appended in 1667), Margaret Fell's Women's Speaking Justified by Scripture stands out in world history as the first sustained exegetical defense of women in public ministry. Noting the facts that the God of Israel used women time and time again to challenge kings and other societal leaders in Hebrew Scripture and that the Apostle Paul ministered alongside women in his mission, Fell applies a compelling approach to understanding what the Bible is really saying, what it is not, and within its historical contexts, why. Introduced, annotated, and translated into modern English, Paul N. Anderson has rendered this classic and historic texts in a readable form, highlighting the biblical passages referenced and also expanding upon how the universal ministry of all believers can be understood more fully and meaningfully, as followers of Jesus seek to live into their spiritual callings with personal clarity and corporate support.

"Haunting tale of unrequited love.... Shepard paces his polished storytelling to accommodate atmospheric details. Despite the Vietnamese setting, this sophisticated story has much in common with Hans Christian Andersen's sorrowful romances, and its words and images will likely linger with readers." -- Publishers Weekly, July 6, 1998
"A keen tale of false expectations and confused priorities.... For his first picture book, Fiedler produces exquisite artwork; the landscapes are magically transporting, while the lustrous colors radiate an antique, spiritual quality." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Shepard's retelling captures all the romantic feeling in an economical use of text without forfeiting any of the haunting mood. This could provide a lovely segue into thoughtful discussion on expectations, disappointment, and reparation." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, July-Aug. 1998
"Shepard's simple yet elegant prose meshes well with Fiedler's dramatic artwork. A good choice for storytellers, this romantic tale will be popular with a wide range of audiences." -- Kay Weisman, American Library Association Booklist, Oct. 1, 1998

Living Gospel: The Life of St. Pishoy Kamel
Nestled on the shores of Alexandria, Egypt in the 20th century, was a priest who served his parish for a mere two decades. Yet, this brief service in a city in Egypt revolutionized the way the Coptic world approaches ministry today.
Ever since his canonization in 2022, people in the West have begun hearing the name "Fr. Pishoy Kamel" in liturgical services and brief stories from his life, yet most have a limited knowledge of who this new saint really is. Some might know him as the priest who established seven churches in Alexandria and the Diocese of Los Angeles in the United States, or even as the priest who gave engaging sermons, and revived the concept of "relational ministry" in a once-dying service. Yet it is unlikely that many are familiar with him as the modest man who loved sunrises, was a loyal friend, and would even double-book himself and show up late to events! As well as being a canonized saint, he is also a relatable intercessor.
This complete English biography on the life of St. Pishoy Kamel is intended to bring his story to the diaspora, introducing readers to a priest whose sainthood is not one based on miracles, but rather a deep love and dedication to his Maker in every thought, word, and action.
About the Author. Olivia Marie is a Coptic youth from Melbourne, Australia, pursuing higher studies in Psychology. She is an avid traveler-although you will often find her going back to Egypt-and her free time is spent reading, writing, and catching up with friends.

"A quiet but engrossing...crime thriller with vibrant details and memorable characters.... Mirabile's prose is clean and clear and lovingly paints an eclectic, vibrant community.... a fine edition to any mystery-thriller collection." -Kirkus Reviews
"A main character with guts and heart, a warm love story-a smart, satisfying mystery read." -Cheryl Richardson, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"...a thoughtful, well-paced mystery that leans just as much on character and atmosphere as it does on plot. If you enjoy mysteries that are a little more reflective, with a strong sense of place and a detective who actually thinks things through, this is definitely one worth picking up." -Seattle Book Review
"A gripping, addictive page turner. Atmospheric, character-driven, and relentlessly suspenseful." -Mary J. Cronin, international bestselling author, entrepreneur & podcaster
"Mirabile's portrayal of Provincetown is textured and atmospheric, grounding the mystery in a vividly drawn community. Readers who enjoy character-driven crime fiction with a strong sense of place and careful attention to investigative detail will find much to appreciate in The Washashore." -Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars
"[A] clash of iconic American imagery perfectly launches the [Silas] Lopez series. Mirabile's debut mystery ... establishes the detective as stoic, principled, and carrying the kind of damage that surfaces at inconvenient moments. [The] pacing is patient and relentless..." -BookLife by Publishers Weekly
"Good crime writing should draw you right in, and...The Washashore...does just that, serving up a solid police procedural with some subtle coastal noir touches. My suggestion: give a copy of this fine piece of crime fiction to your friends and family who have lost faith in the system and need to know that community and justice are still defensible ideals and attainable goals" -Reader Views, 5 Stars
A fatal late-night hit-and-run shatters the quiet of Provincetown, drawing interim police chief Silas Lopez into a case that appears straightforward-until the cracks begin to show. In a town where secrets wash ashore with every tide, nothing is ever as it seems.
From windswept dunes and secretive cranberry farms to the gritty docks of New Bedford, Silas chases a trail of shifting lies-missing trucks, grainy night-vision photos, and a maze of half-truths-each step pulling him deeper into a game no one wants him to play. The deeper he digs, the more formidable the forces that rise to stop him.
But Silas isn't one to back down. A fifteenth-generation ranch hand turned plain-spoken cop, he's fueled by grit, instinct, and a stubborn streak that won't quit. With a young department still finding its footing and a growing bond with fiery social worker Wren Bradford, Silas presses on as the tide of danger rises around them.
What begins as a tragic accident investigation unravels into something far darker and more dangerous, forcing Silas to confront a threat that could cost him everything he holds dear.
Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Archer Mayor, and William Kent Krueger, this first Silas Lopez Mystery blends small-town intrigue, windswept coast beauty, criminal noir, and relentless suspense into a gripping debut that will keep fans of mystery series turning pages long into the night.
