Both are bowled over by an intense attraction to one another. The magnetic pull draws them into a passionate kiss within minutes of meeting. Leah, a homeless girl rescued by Geraldine, struggles to understand the cruelty of the older woman. Dean finally confronts the woman who threatens to destroy them all.

The Main Dish by Victoria Kimble

The Main Dish by Victoria Kimble

16-year-old Scarlet Williams enjoys the attention that comes with being a violin prodigy. She auditions for a chair in the Summerset Festival Orchestra, the well-attended local event in her hometown. She is the youngest person to ever get a chair in the orchestra. She blasts the news on social media and enjoys the attention that Finn O’Neal gives her about it.

Then her sister Sadie gets cast in Young Gourmet, a nationally televised cooking competition for kids. Scarlet’s parents tell her that the whole family will be going to L.A. for the taping of the show. This means that they could possibly be there for the whole summer, which means that Scarlet will have to give up her spot in the Summerset Festival. Scarlet has to suffer the humiliation of telling everyone that she won’t be in the orchestra after all.

Scarlet had decided being in L.A. for the summer might be fun, but it turns out it’s NOT. Things perk up when Scarlet and her dad go to the TV studio to tape a Family episode. Scarlet meets Isaac, a cute 18-year-old who works as a server on the show. When Sadie wins, Isaac immediately stops flirting with Scarlet and just asks if he can meet her. Scarlet gets her first glimpse at what it’s like to be eclipsed by Sadie and doesn’t like it.

The Williams family gets back to Snowberry, and they are not allowed to talk about the show. Scarlet reconnects with her friends, and the conductor of the Summerset Orchestra, who asks her to be his assistant for the Festival. Scarlet agrees so she can be a part of things. She asks the conductor if she could still play. The conductor says no, and Scarlet is humiliated. She pretends to be sick on the night of the concert so she doesn’t have to go.

Just as Scarlet is beginning to settle into the high school routine, Young Gourmet begins to air. Scarlet invites Jillian, Levi, Finn, and Melody over for her family’s big premier party. The show continues to air, and the Williams host a weekly viewing party. Scarlet worries about the attention her sister gets from her friends, so she creates a secret blog that exposes the secrets of the show and implies that Sadie’s win was rigged.

The blog spreads like wildfire, and Scarlet finally feels like the center of attention. At the semi-final viewing party, Sadie realizes that Scarlet has been sharing secrets from the show. She throws a big fit in front of everyone, embarrassing the entire Williams family. Scarlet’s parents confront her in front of everyone. Scarlet is forced to admit that she wrote the blog. Everyone leaves, and Mom tells Scarlet that she just should have been happy for her sister, because Sadie has always been happy for her. Scarlet asks if Sadie is going to lose out on her prize money. She says she’s sorry, and Mom asks Scarlet what she’s going to do to make it right.

Scarlet tries to hide out in her bedroom all weekend, but Mom keeps making her come out to do chores. Sadie avoids her and refuses to cook. Scarlet is truly sorry and apologizes to Sadie. Sadie says she forgives her, but things aren’t the same. Dad says he talked to one of the producers, and since Scarlet didn’t spoil the ending, they aren’t going to press charges.

Scarlet spends the whole day at school avoiding everyone. She had gone to the orchestra room after school to work on some of the music for the school musical with the Music Teacher. She tried to stay as late as she could, so that everyone would be gone. When she gets to her locker, she finds Jillian, Levi, Melody and Finn all waiting for her. Scarlet apologizes for what she did, and says that she was afraid she wasn’t going to be noticed anymore, even though she knows that’s not an excuse. They say they forgive her, and they apologize for making her feel unseen.

The friends decide to do what they can to make the last show for Sadie unforgettable. They plan a huge Finale Party. Scarlet is surprised to realize she feels nothing but pride for her sister. She’s not even a little bit jealous.

Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead by John Russell

Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead by John Russell

Hi, I’m John Russell. I’m a professional psychic and medium with 50 years expertise and a worldwide clientele. As a paranormal investigator/researcher I’ve experienced over 1,000 physical supernatural manifestations, some of which are documented on film and audio, and many times witnessed by others.

For over 15 years I’ve been a featured guest on many popular radio shows and podcasts, with 8 appearances to date on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, and I filmed a TV pilot for The History Channel in which I psychically explored the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. In the period of a year and a half I was interviewed over 100 times and I continue to be a featured guest on many prominent podcasts and radio shows in the United States and the UK.

And I’ve been an avid motorcyclist for over 50 years.

Now, as the multiple award-winning author of my first nonfiction book—Riding with Ghosts, Angels, and the Spirits of the Dead—I’ll bring you along with me on a truly magical ride as I travel thousands of miles off the beaten path to explore the paranormal from the seat of my beloved motorcycle, Melissa. Everywhere I roam ghosts, angels, and the spirits of the dead come to greet me, communicating intriguing messages to me and providing me with an incredible array of otherworldly manifestations.

Come along with me on an exciting daylong ride filled with mind-blowing supernatural interactions that appear to have been instigated by the intelligences behind crop circles.

Hike with me through vast, lonely woods as I experience a lifesaving encounter with a ghostly owl and a Native American Indian Spirit in a haunted forest.

Let’s enjoy together a day’s ride from my home base in Florida to Georgia, arriving at Savannah’s famed Bonaventure Cemetery for a revealing paranormal investigation that left me astounded, giving proof that invisible intelligences watch us and hear the words we speak.

And then, just imagine: making a phone call…to a ghost?

Encountering—and having interactions with—multiple UFOs.

In the aftermath of a notorious tropical storm ride along with me as I experience mystical weather events that are so bizarre that it makes me wonder if storms are controlled by intelligent entities, or if the tempests themselves may be cognizant.

Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel

Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel

THE PROFESSOR IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE THIS TIME!

Prof. Yoshua Rosenberg, who has been studying the legends of the Light of Justice with his archaeologists for years, discovers the cover of General Aharon Dori’s Hoshiyan Chronicles in the binding of a 500-year-old book and publishes it on the Internet.

Clues lead the professor and his team to the study house where the chronicles in Spain were written, where he discovers a bomb planted by Basque separatists to destroy Spanish government offices.

During the excavation, they find a sealed room revealing the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition: forty-six Jewish bodies were left to suffocate.

They are perplexed when the deputy interior minister illegally arrests them and throws them into a Spanish prison.

What will happen to them now?

Pray Without Ceasing

About Pray Without Ceasing:

God has been constantly reminding me to pray. Throughout my life, I have been burdened with trying to fight battles that only God could win. Ultimately, He laid a scripture on my heart from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 which says: “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.” (KJV). Since that time, I have been on a mission to use every opportunity I get to share with others that they too should never cease to pray. Starting and ending your day with a quiet time with God is always best. God wants to help us open and close our days wrapped in His arms of peace and comfort. One of the best ways to do this is to commune with Him through prayer.

This book has short passages of scriptures and prayer that are all intended to help you during your day. This book will also offer teachings on prayer to help readers overcome the fears and obstacles in their lives. As you read, I am confident that you will be more matured in your prayer life and become better at demonstrating what the Holy Scripture encourages us to do: “Be Careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God.” – Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
