Ace Carroway and the Midnight Scream by Guy Worthey

Ace Carroway and the Midnight Scream by Guy Worthey

Crack detective, inventor, and woman of mystery Ace Carroway’s next case turns personal when one of her associates goes missing.

It’s summer solstice at Stonehenge, 1922. Archaeologist Sam Biming keeps a midnight vigil to make sure none of the tourists trip into his dig site. A horrible scream rips through the air: the sound of sudden, excruciating death. The crimson splashes on the heel stone tell of grisly bloodletting. But no slashed body lies among the rays of bloodspatter, only a mysterious, solid gold ankh.

The ankh comes from ancient Egypt, but crafted recently. Sam chases the paradox, to his undoing. By the time Ace arrives, Sam has vanished.

Clues point to a secretive order of jester-assassins. But these assassins served the pharaohs of ancient Egypt and should have disappeared three thousand years ago.

Should have.

To rescue Sam, Ace must unravel the most bizarre set of clues she’s ever encountered, across three thousand miles of travel and three thousand years of time. It’s a puzzle to stymie even Ace’s formidable intellect. Solve it she must, but if she does, one thing is clear. Assassins lie in wait at the end.

This book contains: Stonehenge. The British Museum. The mighty Nile. Hippopotamus. A knife of solid gold. The secret guardians of darkness. A diamond necklace tossed contemptuously into the dust. Sweet Egyptian coffee. The ability to walk silently. Sunburn. A deposed pharaoh rotting in prison. Tweed.

Ace Carroway and the Midnight Scream is fifth in the Adventures of Ace Carroway series. Content rating: teen.

More Than A Diet Book: 7 Steps I took to lose 40 lbs, find joy and peace even while working 40 hours (Never Stop Learning Lifestyle Series)

About More Than A Diet Book: 7 Steps I took to lose 40 lbs, find joy and peace even while working 40 hours (Never Stop Learning Lifestyle Series):

Tired of feeling like a prisoner to your diet but don’t have the time to fix it?

Just know that you are not alone. We all are struggling with these same issues of improving our diet and health. As we age and take on more responsibilities, it becomes difficult to eat healthy in a way that fits into our lives.

Its time to escape your internal prison and start living your best life now, and you hold the key.

Here is the bottom line: No one is coming to fix your diet and save you. To change your nutrition and health is 100%, your responsibility. Here is another fact: You can accomplish amazing things that you set your mind to achieving; it all starts with you changing how you think. Anything that you think about consistently, you will act out in your life. Anything that you do invariably will lead to habit formation, which is how you became a prisoner to your diet in the first place, bad nutrition ideas.

So if you are up to here with feeling defeat, overweight, depressed, and overwhelmed, you can become your self-health coach and make it out. How do I know this to be true? Because I have been there myself, obese, depressed, and confused with no direction about how to change my diet and, more importantly, my life.

The Holiday Bride by Lorhainne Eckhart

About Featured Book: The Holiday Bride by Lorhainne Eckhart

All Trinity Cooper Wilde wanted was a quiet Christmas alone with her baby, a baby no one knows about but her twin sister, Dawn.

Dawn has warned Trinity that she needs to come clean and tell everyone about the baby, including the father, Garrett Franke, their former neighbor, whom Trinity has hated since tenth grade—with the exception of one night last year, a mistake.

Her family is starting to wonder why she hasn’t come home to visit in over six months, and Trinity knows time is running out. She plans to tell everyone, but she gets happily stuck in an unexpected snowstorm in her tiny cabin, located outside a small Idaho town.

Deputy Garrett Franke still can’t get Trinity out of his mind, especially considering he works side by side with her dad, Sheriff Logan Wilde. When Dawn unexpectedly pulls him aside one day, he allows her to convince him to drive out to a remote cabin in the middle of a snowstorm to check on her sister, whom no one has heard from since the storm hit.

That’s the thing about snowstorms: You never know who’ll show up at your door, and a baby isn’t the kind of secret that can stay that way for long.
