About The Bone Relic by William Mesusan:
CÓRDOBA – 950 CE
One of Islam’s most sacred relics, the arm bone of the prophet Muhammad, is stolen from the Great Mosque of Córdoba, calling into question the legitimacy of the Umayyad Caliphate and threatening the future of 10th century Europe’s most enlightened culture.
Investigator Solomon Levy, an amateur sleuth renowned for finding missing objects and persons, is pressed into action by his cousin, Hasdai Shaprut, Foreign Minister and personal physician to the Caliph. Solomon must race against time to find and return the holy relic before its annual display takes place in the Great Mosque.
Solomon’s search for the sacred relic requires a perilous journey from romantic Córdoba to the Andalusian ports of Seville and Cádiz (Europe’s oldest city) and leads him into a murky world where desire and need drive the intense competition for stolen relics.
The Bone Relic, a Medieval Mystery, is Book Two of the Andalusian Trilogy.
About Jasmine’s Journey to Jesus A Story of Brokenness, Pain and Redemption By LT Sutton:
Jasmine’s Journey to Jesus is a powerful and inspirational story of survival, hope, growth and healing through faith. If you have struggled with the aftermath of abuse, rape, fatherlessness or issues of self-worth, this book is for you. Join Jasmine on her journey… you won’t be disappointed and you will be inspired!
Jasmine Taylor, a survivor of sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, poverty and the foster care system, worked hard and diligently to overcome her past. On the surface, she seems perfect- she’s beautiful, confident, poised and educated with a successful, high powered career. Emotionally, she’s far from perfect. Haunted by memories of her past, she struggles to navigate life and relationships through her fog of pain and skepticism. Having internalized her abuse as a reflection of her self-worth, she believes that she is unlovable and unworthy of caring and compassion, and willfully isolates herself socially.
Just as she begins to let her guard down, her world is turned upside-down by betrayal and tragedy reminiscent of her childhood, and the wall that she built between herself and the rest of the world works to her detriment. On her own, her strong will and mental fortitude are not enough to fight her latest battles. As her life falls apart and she hits rock-bottom, she discovers the ultimate source of strength, begins her faithful journey to true love and healing, and gains Godly perspective on her struggles and life itself.

In The Absence of Light by C. L. Ferrari
Change is coming. Evil is descending like a swarm of locusts. First one terrible thing happens, then more, and soon the residents of this rural midwestern town feel the darkness like a current pulsing through the air. It’s an uneasy gut feeling, the kind that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
For people who live here, life had seemed normal. A quiet town with school activities and jobs, weekends of hunting, fishing, and gardening, Sunday mornings at church, these were the traditional lifestyles of Gibson Glen’s population. But not now, and no one is willing to say it out loud.
That is, until Gabe Matheson arrives in town. The college friend of a local pastor, Gabe has traveled the country for two decades, going where he is led, fighting spiritual battles alongside the Warriors of the Angelic Host. He discovered in college that he had a divine gift, the vision to see beyond this dimension into the worlds of the heavenly and of the damned. And now, in Gibson Glen, where Gabe has come for the most crucial battle of his life, he meets a young boy with supernatural abilities greater than his own.
War is looming. A battle of both flesh and Principalities, evil from high places and in unseen realms, Angels and Demons. But even Gabe isn’t aware that losing would have drastic global effects and that the fate of humanity rests in his hands.
Because darkness reigns – In the Absence of Light.
