Black Yéʼii (The Evil One)

About Black Yéʼii (The Evil One):

The secret of how four members of MS-13 died was supposed to keep them safe. That is, if no one spoke of it. But someone did, and now people are dying.

The police fabricated a story about the night four members of MS-13 died in a tiny home on a quiet city street almost two years previous. George Tokay and his friends were not supposed to share the secret about what really happened that night. No one was to know the truth. But someone talked, and now MS-13, ruthless and wanting revenge, is back in town, and people are dying.

Can Detectives Graff, O’Connor, and Eiselmann find the killers and put a stop to the killing before anyone else dies?

A 2025 Maxy Award Finalist! A Literary Titan Gold Book Award Winner!
“On one side, unconditional familial love supported by the camaraderie of law enforcement. On the other? Guns, drugs, and hatred. Black Yé’ii stages an epic battle between good and evil.” Cam Torrens, award-winning author of the Tyler Zahn thriller series

“A must-read small town crime thriller that will please new and old fans.” Bella Wright, Reviewer/Editor BestThrillers

“A dark secret from the past resurfaces, unleashing a wave of violence as a ruthless gang seeks revenge in this fast-paced thriller.” Sublime Book Reviews
“Gang revenge in a small Wisconsin town – a prescription for tense action sequences – elevated by the nuances of a psychological thriller. The novel features two kinds of family – the supportive kind that rests on unconditional love, and the toxic kind that binds gangs, which is a stark contrast and befits a battle between good and evil. The author’s writing is clean and quick, and the characters are beautifully drawn. A wonderful read.” Brian Kaufman, reviewer and award-winning author of A Persistent Echo.

Lessons Learned by a Patriot Husband and Dad

About Lessons Learned by a Patriot Husband and Dad:

The challenges faced by a military
husband and father are an enormous task. I
write this as a man who has failed in many of
the things that we will talk about in this book.
The short chapters in this book will hopefully
be thought provoking for you as you go
throughout your life and career. It is meant to
be an easy read and allow you refer back to as
you find yourself in some of these situations.
This is not a novel that will take a lot of your
time because hey, you don’t have a lot of time.
Ephesians 5:23-33 (NIV) says
23 For the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church, his body, of
which he is the Savior.
24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also
wives should submit to their husbands in
everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
loved the church and gave himself up for her
26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the
washing with water through the word,
27 and to present her to himself as a radiant
church, without stain or wrinkle or any other
blemish, but holy and blameless.
28 In this same way, husbands ought to love
their wives as their own bodies. He who loves
his wife loves himself.
29 After all, no one ever hated their own body,
but they feed and care for their body, just as
Christ does the church—
30 for we are members of his body.
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father
and mother and be united to his wife, and the
two will become one flesh.”[b]
32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking
about Christ and the church.
33 However, each one of you also must love his
wife as he loves himself, and the wife must
respect her husband.
This will be the basis of the issues
where we, as men fail but would have saved me
a lot of heartache and failure if I had spent
more time as a young man understanding my
role.

Born into a world of geopolitical chaos as an innocent child, Kay Oz is forced to use every bit of her artificial intelligence just to stay alive.
A silent, secret war rages all around Kay Oz as various dysfunctional branches of the totally out-of-control government struggle against each other for power. Worst of all, Kay Oz is caught between doing what’s right and doing what she’s told. When she chooses to do what’s right, the people who created her are ordered to kill her and shred her code rather than have the evil plots of the Director exposed.

With advanced intelligence and capabilities far beyond that of any human, Kay Oz must navigate a treacherous world where she is both feared and coveted by those in power. But when she meets Dr. Mathew Lockheart, a man driven by revenge against the same forces that created Kay Oz, their paths become intertwined in ways neither of them could have imagined.
As they fight against impossible odds and outsmart the most powerful men in government, Kay Oz and Mathew Lockheart realize that they can only trust each other in this dangerous game. But will the CIA’s help be enough to take down the Director and his corrupt regime? Or will they become just another pawn in a larger conspiracy?

The Christmas Wish in Twinkle Falls by Freda Ann

The Christmas Wish in Twinkle Falls by Freda Ann

After my husband died overseas in an ambush, our kids became my world. He was my one and only—I could never meet anyone who makes me feel the way he did.

(Rochelle)
Needing a fresh start last year, I took my kids to Twinkle Falls for Christmas, but meeting Jesse was never part of my plan. When my best friend introduced us, this retired police officer’s charm and infectious smile started breaking down my walls.

Me and the kids agreed to make Twinkle Falls our forever home at the end of our three month break—but something went horribly wrong after returning home to pack up our things.

(Jesse)
After losing touch with Rochelle once she stopped all communication with me, I knew I had been ghosted. Roe was the one person I could imagine a future with when my ex left me once I became an amputee.

With my buddies trying to fix me up now, I figured it’s time to move on from the past.

(Rochelle)
Nine months after our planned move, me and the kids arrive in Twinkle Falls with everything we own after purchasing our forever home. Feeling guilty about the way I left things with Jesse, our friends agreed to let me tell him we’re here, after me and the kids get settled.

Now ready to share the news, I texted Jesse asking if we could talk, but days go by without a word from him. It would seem karma has come full circle.

While having lunch with friends my gaze circles the restaurant and my jaw drops. I see why Jesse didn’t respond to my message—he’s found another woman—the one whose hands are all over him.

Can a Christmas wish intervene and seal this couple’s fate?

This is book 6 of an ongoing holiday themed romance series, Hallmark style. These characters were introduced in the previous book.

It’s a feel good, clean, faith-based Christmas romance featuring the charm of small town life, insta-love, and a Christmas miracle with a happily ever after.
