Soon, the ethereal, brooding NanJu manifests herself, and Kendra begins her travels through time to 16th century Korea into a history of conflict and intrigue. For Kendra is about to discover the dark past of her ghostly visitor.

The Dark MadonnaA Fable of Resiliency and Imagination
Nicolas Bazan M.D.
4.8 Stars (17 Reviews)
Genre: Religious & Inspirational Fiction | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

An American neuroscientist becomes embroiled in an international mystery that explores the meaning of miracles.

While attending a scientific conference in Poland New Orleans neuroscientist, Dr. Alvaro Cruz, visits Auschwitz and faces the ghosts of his own harrowing escape from Argentina’s “Dirty War” of the 1970’s.

When he and his wife meet an American artist-priest just outside the entrance of the notorious concentration camp Alvaro is inexplicably drawn to this enigmatic man and his stories about the icon of Catholic Poland known as “The Black Madonna” and a religious vision he experienced as a young art student. After returning to Krakow Alvaro can’t get the comments and demeanor of young Father Stephen out of his mind.

When Alvaro’s colleague invites him to visit the Jasna Gora Monastery where the famed Black Madonna of Częstochowa is housed he jumps at the opportunity.

During his visit to the monastery an elderly woman becomes hysterical about the changed appearance of the Madonna, and suffers an epileptic seizure ; she insists this is not the real Black Madonna, confirming his own odd sensation that the painting was not authentic!

In his obsession with discovering the truth Alvaro begins to piece together fragments of the complex mystery surrounding the icon’s history. What his findings reveal, the real story of the Black Madonna and the people charged with protecting her, could never have been anticipated. What comes to light is a stunning revelation not only about the painting but also about human frailty and our mind’s ability to overcome it.

Like Bazan’s previous Alvaro Cruz novel, Una Vida: A Fable of Music and the Mind, The Dark Madonna: A Fable of Imagination and Resiliency is a compelling narrative interplay of religion, science, culture, and art. Where scientific explanation ends and religious mystery begins lies the open synapse that connects human with divine.

SEPARATE LIVES: THE STORY OF MARY RIPPON
Silvia Pettem
4.5 Stars (15 Reviews)
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs | History

FREE for a limited time

As a pioneer woman educator at the University of Colorado, in Boulder, Mary Rippon received wide acclaim for her teaching, but, in order to keep her job, she hid her husband and child behind a Victorian curtain of secrecy. Now, for the first time, “Separate Lives: The Story of Mary Rippon” reveals the conflicts between this extraordinary woman’s public and private lives.

The following true story follows Mary from the small midwestern farm where she was born to the great centers of culture in Europe. In January of 1878, after years of education in Germany, France, and Switzerland, the soft-spoken twenty-seven-year-old woman was welcomed at the newly opened University of Colorado in the small frontier town of Boulder. The growth of her lengthy career paralleled the growth of the university where she worked her way up from the first female faculty member to the university’s first female professor, eventually chairing the department of German language and literature.

Modest and unassuming, “Miss Rippon” taught in the male-dominated world of nineteenth century academia where she shielded her womanly emotions from the public eye. She was a professional woman and a mother in an era when these two roles could not be combined.

Hidden romance and familial responsibilities spanned two continents, and in an age of meager salaries and lengthy sea voyages, she managed to travel to Europe and back eight times. This biography does not tarnish “Miss Rippon’s” well-deserved reputation but uncovers the human side of a woman whose circumstances clashed with the mores of her times.

The Uprights
James Hill
3.8 Stars (21 Reviews)
Genre: Action & Adventure | War | Historical Fiction | Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

FREE for a limited time

At first they only hear deep, rumbling roars and grunts, and higher-pitched squeals of fear – and ultimately of submission. Then, in the distance, as the swirling dust settles, they see a pride of lions – with a fresh kill. A downed beast: that’s what they have come so far to find. That’s what, however much the cost, they must claim for themselves.

They understand nothing about the coming Ice Age, but they do know the rains have failed and the herds have all but disappeared. With so few animals about, hunting is no longer a matter of pitching human cunning against the greater speed of their prey. Now, they have no choice but first drive off powerful rivals, especially lions and Neanderthals – and that is much more dangerous. Many die, but still their families starve. If only there was another way.

In fact, one man believes there is. A brave hunter and warrior, Dhi is also gifted with the early stirrings of the intelligence that will one day take mankind to other worlds. He, more than any other, is able to think – not just the unthinkable, but also things which have never been thought. But can he persuade the rest of the clan his plan will work?

Before he attempts that though, he adds Wuhn to his harem. She is young and beautiful, but also headstrong and spirited – and she changes everything.

Taking place 50,000 years ago, The Uprights relates what happens.

Can the pursuit of true love overcome the fear of society’s rejection and exile? Vampire Jaden Beayer thinks so. When she is kidnapped and tortured by humans, her government sends weredragon Enforcer Kiellen Henley to find her. After her recovery, Jaden convinces Kiellen to help her track down the humans responsible for her torture and exact revenge on them.

Will Jaden ever be able to help Kiellen overcome his fears of prejudice and exile, and fulfill their love, making her his forever?
