It has only been a month since Gerald Wilkins be-came the richest kid on earth. One month since he found out his great-aunt Geraldine had left him all her fortune and, with it, a murder mystery, clues to a diamond heist, and a target on his back. One month since Sir Mason Green made off with the contents of the diamond casket, an object of unspeakable power. And you thought your school vacation was eventful. As book two of the Archer Legacy opens, Gerald, Ruby, and Sam come upon papers, drawings, and reams of research, all indicating that Gerald's family has been protecting a secret concerning nothing less than the fate of the world. Now Gerald and his friends are off to India to try to find out the truth. Friendships will be forged and broken. A city buried under the sea will be rediscovered. A whole mess of pigeons will be involved. And Gerald is going to have to make a choice between his love for his friends and the darkest desires of his heart. It's entirely possible that this month might be even more eventful than the last.

Maggie O'Reilly died on a Wednesday because she planned it that way. Maggie was a good Catholic widow. She had six children, gave generously to the church and never drank Guinness on Sundays. Everyone knew she was loaded. She had money too. She smoked cigarettes but they were low tar. Every Friday, she ate fish, wore black and went to confession at St. Michael's Parish. Facing serious health concerns and estranged from her children, she wants to know if they love her, but she doesn't know how to ask the question and she doesn't trust their answers. Inspired by a Time Magazine article about unclaimed bodies in major city morgues around the United States, Maggie formulates a plan to claim a body and stage her own funeral and then attend the funeral in disguise to hear what people say. Caught in a dysfunctional love triangle between Patrick Murphy and Mick Torkelson, she bribes her priest, Father Shamus Muldoon and coerces Mick to become co-conspirators in a scheme to fake her death in an effort to discover her children's true feelings. However, Maggie's oldest daughter, Mary, sees behavior changes and enlists a local doctor in an effort to get her declared incompetent, but when her efforts go too far, Maggie feels betrayed and her quest for answers takes a dark turn. The Woman in the Emerald Casket is a family friendly mystery thriller that will keep you turning pages long past bedtime. The Woman in the Emerald Casket highlights problems with elderly parents who may refuse care or make irrational decisions. How to care for aging parents and manage difficult family relationships are real problems without easy answers.

A BAND OF REBELS. A TRAITOR IN THEIR MIDST. A REVOLUTION ABOUT TO BEGIN. It's been three years since Aren seized the Ember Blade. Three years since they struck the spark they hoped would ignite the revolution. But the flame has failed to catch. The Krodans have crushed Ossia in an iron grip of terror. The revolution seems further away than ever. Far in the north, the Dawnwardens seek to unite the fractious clans of the Fell Folk and create a stronghold from which to retake their land. But even if they can overcome the danger of treachery from within, they still have to contend with the dreadknights. Only the druidess Vika can resist these near-unstoppable foes, and there's only one of her. But what if there was a weapon that could destroy the dreadknights? A weapon of such power it could turn the tide? A weapon that, if it fell into the wrong hands, might mean the end of all hope? The Shadow Casket has returned from out of the past, and it will save or damn them all.

As lush and sweltering as a Kentucky summer... Elizabeth Kilcoyne is a force.” - Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author The sleepy little farm that Laurel Early grew up on has awakened. The woods are shifting, the soil is dead under her hands, and her bone pile just stood up and walked away.

Instead, a devil from her past has returned to court her, as he did her late mother years earlier. Now, Laurel must unravel her mother’s terrifying legacy and tap into her own innate magic before her future and the fate of everyone she loves is doomed.
