Featured Book: The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh by Carolyn Arnold
 


About Featured Book: The Secret of the Lost Pharaoh by Carolyn Arnold

In Egypt’s Western Desert lies the tomb of an unnamed pharaoh that hides a secret so powerful, it could destroy the world as we know it.

Archaeologist and adventurer Matthew Connor has made a career of finding legends the world has all but forgotten. Though there’s one in particular that has fascinated him for years—the Emerald Tablets. Myth says that they possess the knowledge of the universe, allowing humankind to traverse Heaven and Earth, and have the power to bestow wealth and wisdom upon whoever possesses them. But if they fall into evil hands, it could cause a global disaster.

So when a former colleague stumbles across an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic map that promises to lead to a pharaoh’s tomb and the Emerald Tablets, there’s no way he’s turning down her invitation to join the dig. He only has one stipulation: his best friends Robyn Garcia and Cal Myers come with him.

The road ahead isn’t going to be an easy one, and their shared dream of recovering the Emerald Tablets is being crushed at every turn. And just when they think it’s all over, they learn there are a few clues they have overlooked. But they’re no longer the only ones searching for the Tablets. Now, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and soon they’ll find out that when it comes to hunting legends, they can’t trust anyone.

About the Book

He’s the king of bestowing orgasms … She’s never come with a man.

When wealthy playboy bachelor Jack meets Sara— post-quickie with a colleague in an empty condo—he quickly realizes her drive and lust for life are a match for his. A much younger agent at his real estate brokerage, she’s way off limits, but he can’t get her out of his mind. And when Jack wants something, nothing will get in his way.

One smoking hot illicit office hookup leads to plenty more risky liaisons at open houses and public places. Sex with Jack is a revelation and Sara can’t resist the lure of orgasms on tap. Even if she’s joined the Jack Gordon Bedpost Notching Club at her brokerage—something she swore to avoid.

They both insist it’s a no-strings arrangement—nothing more than a fling. But when a tough property sale forces them to work together, they grow closer and closer. He’s convinced it’s destiny. Sara’s not so naive as to fall for a womanizer. Jack has until the sale goes through to close the toughest deal of his life: to convince Sara they belong together.

About the book:

What is stopping you from living a victorious life, overflowing with abundance in all areas?

It is the toxic thoughts holding you captive. Leaving you feeling like a victim of your circumstances rather than the creator of your future.

Did you know that 75-98 percent of the illnesses that affect us today directly result from one’s thought life? What we think and as a result speak into our lives affects us both physically and emotionally.

Tessa Mager knows what it is like to despair amidst the spiraling thoughts of worry, doubt, confusion, depression, anger, and condemnation. Feelings of not being good enough, guilt, and shame made her hide away from God until she was drowning and saw only one way out. But she also knows firsthand the freedom that comes from letting go of all these lies, accepting the Saviour’s unconditional love, and taking radical responsibility for the way forward.

Abundance comes when we refuse to be victims any longer and boldly start using the tools we have been given by our father to not only win on the battlefield of our minds but live as the royal daughters God created us to be.

Abundance Awaits unravels the mystery of God’s true feelings towards you and explains His will that includes you using your unlimited potential and God-given power to shift your focus and take back control of your life. Supported by current scientific evidence and Biblical truths, Tessa offers readers a path to healing and wholeness through correct thinking patterns that enable us to live happier, healthier, and more abundant.

A must-read for anyone looking to gain control of their thought life and build empowering habits to help you win in life.

In Abundance Awaits, Tessa inspires and equips us to transform our lives by understanding who

Carrie: An American Classic by David Culp
 

Carrie Larsen left a small town in Ohio a week after graduating college in 1963 to explore the counterculture in the Great American West. Four years later, tired, she came back to her parents’ house. Perhaps for a week? Perhaps for years?
Carrie became the town Veterinarian on Main Street. She balances her enthusiasm for sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll with a search for social justice, compassion, and a love for playing J.S. Bach on her mother’s concert grand piano.
Carrie loves her parents, as long as they last, but resists her mother’s hopes that she’ll get married and have a baby, at least in that order.
Carrie calls herself “A Buddhist, not a Romantic.” She never stops searching. Was life in the West her alternative reality, or is it life in the small town?
Find out what makes Carrie Larsen an American Classic.


Targeted Age Group:: College age and beyond – especially people who lived through the 1960s and 1970s

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I grew up on the outskirts of New York City and went to school in Ohio and North Carolina and lived through a lot of the social change of the 1960s and 1970s. I thought about how a person who grew up in small-town Ohio would come through the same experiences I did, and whether moving back home would be a satisfying life. Part of Carrie Larsen’s enlightenment when she comes home is about how the “squares” she thought she’d left behind have a lot of wisdom, love, and compassion to share.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
This novel is one of several I’ve been working on about how the kids who grew up in a family in small-town Ohio deal with life when they attend liberal arts colleges and go on to live in a more “sophisticated” society. There’s been a lot of that in the American experience the last 100 years – my grandparents grew up in rural Indiana, my father came from the mid-West to New York after World War II (and married a woman who was the first-generation American daughter of Swedish and Finnish immigrants), and I feel I got a look into some roots when I went to college away from the East Coast. That’s the American experience my main character, Carrie Larsen, is a part of, along with an appreciation of the natural wonders of our continent and the "can-do" optimistic spirit of so many of our countrymen (and countrywomen). I think the way Carrie comes to grips with it is a large part of what makes her an American classic. My first novel, The Book of Mathew L., is about her big brother, who comes from the same small town to become a liberal academic who works in the Great Society in Washington, D.C. and then gets personally involved in social justice causes in North Carolina in the 1970s.

Reflections of Blue by Abbey K. Bowen
 

After a summer like no other spent at her uncle’s farmhouse, Seraphine is given instructions to enter an alternate world filled with new friends, love, betrayal, never-ending life, and perpetual suffering.

Seraphine, a teenager from a poor family, is sent away for the summer to live on her uncle’s strawberry farm. She’s been shipped off like this before, but this time is different. She is pleasantly surprised when she walks into the previously dark-lit farmhouse to find Janusz (or “Jonesy,” as she later calls him), an immigrant from Poland who allegedly came to work on the farm. His bright personality instantly illuminates the house, but his frail body leads Sera to question his presence there. Not wanting to anger her short-tempered uncle, however, she does not initially make any inquiries on the matter. Instead, she attempts to exist as Uncle Ford prefers—neither seen nor heard as much as possible. But when it becomes clear that Jonesy actually cares to spend time with her, the two of them become fast friends as they bond over “breakfast picnics” and watching the sunrise.

Throughout the next few months, Sera sees Jonesy’s body deteriorating and her uncle’s demeanor changing for the worse. She also continues receiving hints—mostly in the form of stern, hushed conversations—about Jonesy’s mysterious illness, the nature of his relationship with Uncle Ford, and the secret place he was before arriving at the farm.

Eventually, when she realizes it is no longer in Jonesy’s best interest to stay with her uncle, she enlists the help of her parents to get him removed from the farmhouse. As expected, Uncle Ford is less than happy when he learns of Jonesy’s disappearance, and he takes out his frustrations by drinking heavily and physically abusing Sera.

After enduring numerous beatings and assaults, Sera confides in a family friend, Kailas, who was sent by her mom and dad to ensure her well-being after Jonesy successfully escapes. Unfortunately, similar to her parents, Kailas is strapped for cash and cannot provide Sera with safety under her roof. But she gifts a set of instructions that will allow Sera to escape into what she initially believes is a deep meditative state. However, Sera soon realizes she has actually been given access to an alternate reality she never dreamed existed . . .


Targeted Age Group:: 18+

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Since I was a kid, I've had very wild and vivid dreams. This book series stemmed from just one of them. I have a detailed post about that on my blog.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
In a weird way, they kind of wrote themselves. I didn't find it hard to come up with any of the characters. He or she just popped up and organically fit into the storyline.

The Bookmark by Anne Supsic
 

The legendary Marquis de Lafayette, 
A forgotten Moravian woman who became his nurse, 
And a bookmark with a secret… 
 
1777. After being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine, the Marquis de Lafayette is taken to the isolated religious community of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he is cared for by a Moravian Single Sister named Liesl Boeckel who has little patience with the arrogant Frenchman and his unwelcome curiosity about her life.
 
2005. When Abbey Prescott inherits her grandmother’s house in Bethlehem, she discovers an eighteenth-century bookmark, which may reveal a romance between Liesl and Lafayette, and she becomes determined to solve the mystery. However, her quest is complicated by the aftershocks of a failed love affair and a possible romantic entanglement of her own.
 
The Bookmark is an immersive romantic mystery that illuminates a little-known piece of American history through the lives of two women, separated by the centuries but alike in their determination to confront the past and find a way forward.


Targeted Age Group:: 50 and over

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I first learned about Liesl Boeckel at the Moravian Museum in Bethlehem, where I’ve worked for many years as a volunteer docent. I knew nothing of Lafayette’s possible romance with a Moravian woman until the museum added a new exhibit with a painting of Liesl, Mrs. Boeckel, and Lafayette. I could hardly believe this unlikely connection between the Moravians and my favorite Frenchman. I remember thinking that someone needed to write a book about this. And then, a little voice inside me said, Why not you?

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
My historical characters were easier to create because I could research their lives and their time period, and they brought with them actual events that provided a basic structure for their stories. I had access to a wealth of information regarding Lafayette, including his own writings, which helped me to envision his behavior. Although documentation on Liesl was quite sketchy, I had access to information on eighteenth-century Moravian life, and the knowledge I had accumulated as a long-time volunteer docent at the Moravian Museum in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

My modern-day characters are purely fictional and required more effort to create. I initially drew from my life experiences but modified them to fit the story. For example, the friendship between Abbey and Kera is inspired by my relationship with my best friend, but my fictional characters evolved in ways that bear no resemblance to myself or my friend. It really is true that a book takes on a life of its own and often leads you to unexpected places.

The Wild & Zany Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon, Soul Mates Who Incarnate on Earth and Save the World by Vegastarchild584
 

Commander Zhang (ZhangZHXO511) and Lieutenant Simon (SimonGJXO1129) are two easygoing and fun-loving Sirian Galactic Officers who also happen to be Soul Mates assigned to the Mothership Athena. Galactic adventurers, the pair travel on various assignments around the galaxy as part of the Athena’s Science and Exploration team and manage to get themselves into all sorts of quirky situations and trouble. Prior to taking some much-needed time off at the famed Retreat and Spa in Arcturus after a particularly harrowing assignment, the duo hear Gaia’s (planet Earth) clarion call for help. Bogged down from thousands of years of low vibe human shenanigans, Gaia needs a little help ascending. Being decorated officers, the duo decides to provide assistance by incarnating as earth humans as part of Mission Everlight.

Coming in as modern day handsome and popular male models/actors/singers/brand ambassadors, their mission is to reveal the very real and serious corruption within the performing arts industry in the world’s most populated and internet-savvy country – China. But what happens when only one Soul Mate wakes up and the other is still asleep?

This wildly entertaining ride through space and time is loosely based on the real-life drama of popular Chinese Actor/Singer Zhang Zhehan and his costar Actor/Model Simon Gong Jun. Chock full of spiritual wisdom, The Galactic Adventures of Commander Zhang & Lieutenant Simon is a zany, comical, M/M, BL romance, epic sci-fi adventure, and a paean song for awakening Starseeds to never forget their roots and the many gifts and abilities they bring to aid Gaia with ascending.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It’s a novel that came to me to encourage and wake up Starseeds everywhere after I caught wind of young and talented actor/singer/model/deep thinker Zhang Zhehan who was blacklisted in China for something we in the US would consider innocent and ignore. As I delved more into the issue I saw how it greatly impacted the young man involved as well as all his fans around the world as well as his costar Simon Gong Jun. And I thought what if Zhang’s earth mission is to go through this but also to overcome and rise above it as a Starseed? How different would the outcome be?

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
While a fictionalized account, my main characters are based on two real life actors and performing artists, one of which is currently being unjustly accused and dragged into a nationwide scandal with far reaching consequences for him including destroying his career and livelihood as an artist in his home country.
As his story is very compelling and impacts not only these actors, but millions of fans around the world, it inspired me to write this book about them to encourage people.
