The Priest and the Medium: The Amazing True Story of Psychic Medium B. Anne Gehman and Her Husband, Former Jesuit Priest Wayne Knoll, Ph.D. by Suzanne R. Giesemann
Genre(s): Biographies & Memoirs, Specific Groups, Women, Religion & Spirituality, New Age, New Thought
P sychic medium B. Anne Gehman gave her first spirit readings to her teddy bears at age five. Raised in the Mennonite tradition, she left home at age 14 to finish her schooling. A life-changing near-death experience led Anne to develop her natural gifts, including an uncanny ability to predict future events. She has gained international attention for her help in solving crimes, locating oil and missing persons, healing illnesses, and connecting family members with their loved ones in spirit. She has worked with top government agencies and officials, police departments, judges, and corporate CEOs.
While remarkable for her spiritual gifts and experiences, Anne’s life is all the more fascinating due to an unusual twist: she is married to Wayne Knoll, Ph.D., a former Jesuit priest. A brilliant student devoted to his faith, Wayne also left home at 14 to join a Roman Catholic seminary. Even while pursuing his life’s dream as a professor of literature at Georgetown University, Wayne felt an emptiness that only a woman could fill. After more than a decade of religious training, he made the wrenching decision to leave the priesthood, not knowing if he would find the love he sought. The Priest and the Medium shares the remarkable story of two soul mates on parallel paths with divergent beliefs, yet united in their love for God and each other.

Helga: Out of Hedgelands (Wood Cow Chronicles) by Rick Johnson
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Literature, Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror, Science Fiction Fantasy & Magic
T welve-year-old Helga has more danger in her life than most beasts her age–Wrackshee slavers after her, a vicious attack by bandits that nearly kills her, a race against dragons pursuing her, and leading a daring rebellion to save her life and rescue friends and family from the insidious WooZan. And that is just the beginning. But what do you expect when you are a young beast who just can’t see the stupid rules of the world making any sense? Helga can’t accept things as they are and ends up taking on not just one, but two all-powerful, supreme tyrants in two different realms.
Helga never intended to lead a revolution. It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the “rules of normal” that keep tyrants in power and entire societies enslaved. Beginning on a dangerous quest to solve some mysteries in her own past, Helga leads her quirky comrades on a journey that will not only forever change them, but upset ancient civilizations.
As an author, I’m drawn to eccentric, unexpected characters: those who surprise because they hear a distant galaxy, see a different music, create their own fragrance rather than get hooked on a soundtrack; the child who has her own ideas about how the emperor is dressed; the lunatics and rebels who tell stories on the boundaries. Helga’s unusual story will take readers to worlds they never imagined–definitely a whole new ride.
Time and again, the unconventional heroine and her eccentric comrades overcome ominous tyrants and black-hearted slavers, not by battling to the last beast standing, but by being the first beast to think differently.
Helga: Out of Hedgelands is divided into three books which introduce the epic saga of the Wood Cow clan and their role in overturning centuries of slavery and tyranny. This story will continue in additional volumes of the Wood Cow Chronicles now in development. Over the series of current and future volumes, the entire history of the Wood Cow clan, the fall of Maev Astuté, and the coming of Lord Farseeker to the Outer Rings, will be told.

Powder Burn (Burn with Sam Blackett #1) by Mark Chisnell
Genre(s): Literature & Fiction, Genre Fiction, Action & Adventure, Mystery Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers, Spy Stories & Tales of Intrigue
I f Dragon Tattoo’s Mikael Blomkvist and the Hunger Games’ Katniss Everdeen could have a love-child, she’d probably be a lot like Sam Blackett…
Sam had given up her Manhattan job, and her cute apartment in Brooklyn. She’d abandoned her astonished boyfriend to the charms of ESPN, and flown off into a new dawn to chase her dream of becoming an investigative journalist.
Three months later, alone in a soulless internet café, she’s facing some cold, hard facts; she’s unpublished, unhappy and broke. And right then, the gorgeous Pete Halland blows into her life – headed for the mythical Powder Burn mountain to write history and blast into legend.
If she throws in her lot with Pete and reports the story for National Geographic magazine it could rescue her ambitions, but he’s holding back some crucial information – the question for Sam is… what?
Soon, Sam is up to her neck in snow and the weather is the least of her problems; lost in a secretive Himalayan kingdom with – what could be – a magic sword and a simmering and potentially bloody revolution.
But the father she lost to the war in Iraq was a marine, and he taught her a few tricks in the Vermont backcountry that might just get her out alive – and with a story to tell that could make the front page of the New York Times.
Try the sample with ‘Look Inside’.
Powder Burn is the first of a new series featuring Sam Blackett from the author of the best-selling Janac’s Games books. Chinese Burn will be published in the spring of 2014.
Mark Chisnell’s thrillers have topped the Amazon charts around the world.
Reviews for Mark Chisnell’s Thrillers
An excellent drug-smuggling thriller.
The Bookseller
This is a remarkable thriller – chillingly violent, full of tension and with a very original ending.
Publishing News
This book satisfies history fans, espionage addicts, and anyone else yearning for a good yarn.
Huffington Post
Mark Chisnell writes the kind of stories that will keep you turning the pages till you’re done, and still thinking about them long after that. He writes the Kindle-chart-topping Janac’s Games thrillers, and the Burn series featuring Vermont back country girl and wannabe-investigative journalist, Sam Blackett.
Mark Chisnell’s a former professional sportsman and has also worked as a broadcaster and journalist. He has written for some of the world’s leading magazines and newspapers, including Esquire and the Guardian – but Mark’s greatest achievement was probably hitch-hiking to Mount Everest base-camp in Tibet. In trainers. Or maybe that was the stupidest.

THE FALL (Rapha Chronicles #1) (The Rapha Chronicles) by Chana Keefer
Genre(s): Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fantasy & Magic, Religion & Spirituality, Religious Studies, Science & Religion, Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror, Science Fiction Fantasy & Magic
T HE FALL is a biblical retelling of ancient times through the eyes of an angel who was once best friends with Lucifer.
If M. Night Shamalayan, Steven King, C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien collaborated on a story about our origins and the Garden of Eden, this might be the result.
Main Characters:
Rapha: A faithful angel who witnesses the cause and effect of Lucifer’s fall from grace. Rapha becomes the mentor/tutor to Adam and Eve.
Lucifer: Beautiful, seductive, brilliant, ambitious, vindictive angel intent on replacing the most high God as ruler of creation.
Adam: Preteen, mischievous, daring, slightly pampered son of the Most High.
Eve/Glory: Preteen, brilliant, curious, fun-loving, betrothed to Adam.
Take a journey to the beginning. Pull back the veil on biblical history and mysteries. This is a worldview changer.
THE FALL isn’t afraid of collision: spirituality & science; good & evil; truth & deception; religion vs. relationship; grace vs. prejudice–the joy of fairy tales combined with suspense, horror and an epic love story.
Rapha, once Lucifer’s best friend, had a front-row seat for every crucial moment that shaped the world we live in today. This faithful angel wants to tell you his story. But beware, this is not a journey for the faint-of-heart. Ahead there be giants–plus demons, centaurs, mermaids, demi-gods and war that extends from the beginning of time. In the tradition of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Frank Peretti, THE FALL (The Rapha Chronicles, Book 1) melds science fiction, fantasy, epic adventure and mythology.

The untimely death of a local real estate tycoon pits Beverly Marshall, the middle aged widow, against her stepson, Jeremy, for control of the estate. A conspiracy develops that draws the unknowing lovers into the fray, leading the reader on a wild crime-ladened ride through the homes and streets of Lowndes County. Before long the entire populace is scared and seeking answers from the local Sheriff’s Office, headed by Sheriff Angelo Lupo, ‘The Wolf’. Twists and turns aplenty as the entire cast of unlikely characters will be pulled together in an explosive and very unexpected ending.
“With Cruel Intent is a suspenseful and entertaining read complete with intrigue and romance. Blanche Delaney is a heroine that you can’t help but adore, with her sweet naïveté and bright hopes, not unlike her male counterpart, Seymour Wood, who, with his southern charm and somewhat goofy antics, is equally likeable. Their story is an underlying theme in the book but it is ultimately threatened by “The Stalker”, whose sinister motives and menacing designs left me triple checking the locks and wanting to look under my bed at night.” – A Fan
Back of the Book:
Blanche Delaney moves to Valdosta, Georgia in the humidity of a Southern summer with innocent intentions and high hopes. Beautiful and intriguing, Blanche attracts suitors, both sincere and sinister. Her new role as the head librarian at the public library brings both romance and danger but will she be able to recognize the difference between the two?
Money can be a powerful, motivating force in the descent into evil. Valdosta has a new criminal running amuck in the city who is motivated by just that. When a thief, a mobster, and a money-grubbing stepson combine forces, only mayhem and murder can follow.
Without her knowledge, Blanche’s simple, little life in Georgia merges with the malicious workings of the criminal trio. As the two groups collide and time runs out, the stranger in the dark threatens her security, her relationship, and her very life.
