Charlotte Reed, a brilliant defense attorney with a perfect winning record, lives by one rule: guilt is an emotion, and the law deals only in evidence. Her meticulously ordered world is shattered when she takes the case of Senator Marcus David Gray, the magnetic frontrunner for the U.S. Presidency, who is charged with the cold-blooded murder of his Chief of Staff. The evidence is overwhelming, but Charlotte's gut tells her the Senator is innocent of the murder-but deeply complicit in a terrifying, hidden plot.

Love is not a flaw in the system. It's the architecture of the world. For Penelope Lowell, a razor-sharp London lawyer, emotions are statistical noise, and love is a critical flaw. Her world is defined by the unyielding architecture of law and the clean burn of ambition. But when she inherits her great-aunt's derelict manor, Sunlit Grove, she is pulled into a quiet English village that defies her logic. There, she is confronted by Rhys Penrose, a brooding bookseller who serves as the estate's Guardian. Rhys is hostile, believing Penelope-the cynical, city-born heir-will sell the property to developers. But when Penelope's sight abruptly awakens, she sees the world transformed: a hidden tapestry of luminous threads-the "heartlines"-weaving together every bond of life and love.

The world, for Arthur Pensive, is a museum of noise, and he is its solitary curator of silence. Overlooked at school and in his own home, Arthur's unique gift is his resonance-his ability to feel the faint, emotional patina that time leaves on objects. One night, Arthur discovers a heavy, dark key hidden in his grandfather's trunk. It leads him not to a treasure chest, but to the Glimmerwood -a secret world where every tree is a memory and every shimmer is a powerful, poignant story. But this beautiful realm is under silent, creeping siege. The Alchemist of Absence is erasing the forest's stories, consuming them with a terrifyingly efficient stillness.

As the storms grow louder, the love grows louder still-until the sky finally clears and a rainbow stretches across the world, reminding both parent and child that love shines brightest after the storm has passed. A soothing, lyrical picture book for any child who has ever felt small in a big, stormy world.

The Frost Murders: A Victorian Christmas Mystery "The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them." London, 1895. The city is blanketed in snow, but beneath the festive white lies a crimson trail of vengeance. On the morning of December 23rd, the first body arrives on the morning frost. Lady Catherine Pemberton, a wealthy widow and prominent philanthropist, is found strangled in her Belgravia drawing room. Above her head hangs a grotesque gift: a red velvet stocking overflowing with her own blood-soaked jewellery and a single golden pear ornament. For consulting detective Octavius Frost, a man haunted by a childhood promise to never remain silent in the face of injustice, the symbolism is chillingly clear. A killer is performing a masterpiece—a "Twelve Days of Christmas" carol written in blood. Frost must partner with the formidable Dr. Helena Ashford, a pioneering female physician and forensic specialist, to decode a pattern of "accidental" deaths that have been occurring across London for over a week. As they unearth a dark conspiracy involving the Society of St. Nicholas, Frost is forced to confront the corruption in his own aristocratic family’s past and a tragedy twenty years in the making. The Frost Murders is the first investigation in the gripping Octavius Frost Mysteries, a planned 10-book series combining meticulous historical research with the atmospheric tension of classic Victorian crime fiction.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. In the heart of Manhattan's financial district, a grotesque masterpiece is unveiled: a woman’s remains, meticulously sutured into a position of eternal repose, her own skin fashioned into pages documenting her hidden crimes. For Detective Margaret Quillen, the scene is a sensory assault. Her synesthesia translates the world into a kaleidoscope of colors—and these murders scream in shades of burgundy and gold. As more "monuments" appear across the city, Margaret realizes she isn't just hunting a killer; she is witnessing a manifesto. The killer, known as The Surgeon, is selecting victims who escaped justice, transforming their sins into permanent anatomical displays. But the investigation is a trap. The Surgeon has been watching Margaret for a decade, waiting for the perfect moment to collect the final piece of a living masterpiece. To save her estranged daughter and stop the slaughter, Margaret must confront a monster she herself helped create—and a past that was never truly sutured shut. The first pulse-pounding installment of THE ANATOMICAL MURDERS series.

Lila noticed things other people missed- the heaviness of a cloud, the hush in her mother's voice, the tiny tremble of a worry drifting her way.

And when another worry appeared... she caught that one too. Soon her shelves filled, then her windowsill, then the floor-until her room grew crowded with whispers, humming glass, and the weight of every worry she had ever tried to hide. But one day, a jar slipped. A crack formed. And something unexpected happened. The worry didn't grow bigger. It didn't chase her. It simply drifted into the light... and disappeared. In that quiet moment, Lila discovered a truth as gentle as a breath: Some worries aren't meant to be kept. Some are meant to be seen- and then let go. Journey with Lila through a tender, luminous story about feelings, courage, and the freedom found in releasing what we hold too tightly. A heartfelt picture book for every child who feels deeply... and every grown-up who loves them.

Marigold is a bright yellow vintage bus with a gentle rumble, warm headlight-eyes, and a secret: she doesn't take passengers where they ask to go, but where they need to be.

One grey afternoon, three children board the bus, each carrying a private worry. Noor is running from a spelling bee she is certain she'll fail, Alfie hopes to escape the arguments at home, and Maya longs to get away from the grief she carries for someone she's lost. Instead of the destinations they request, Marigold takes them on a journey through surprising stops-a quiet library, a bustling restaurant full of messy love, and a peaceful hill overlooking the city-each one gently nudging them toward courage, understanding, and healing.

Warm, comforting, and full of heart, Last Stop, Lemon Street is a picture book about the difference between what we want and what we truly need-and the magic that appears when we are guided by kindness.

Love is not a flaw in the system. It's the architecture of the world. For Penelope Lowell, a razor-sharp London lawyer, emotions are statistical noise, and love is a critical flaw. Her world is defined by the unyielding architecture of law and the clean burn of ambition. But when she inherits her great-aunt's derelict manor, Sunlit Grove, she is pulled into a quiet English village that defies her logic. There, she is confronted by Rhys Penrose, a brooding bookseller who serves as the estate's Guardian.

But when Penelope's sight abruptly awakens, she sees the world transformed: a hidden tapestry of luminous threads-the "heartlines"-weaving together every bond of life and love. She is the new Seer, and the thread between her and Rhys, the one she cannot logically explain, is the key to a lineage sworn to protect the land. When a powerful multinational corporation, Omni Corp, moves to acquire the Grove to "bottle" its unique energy, Penelope must abandon her life of cold logic to fight a battle of magic and will.

The Frost Murders: A Victorian Christmas Mystery "The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them." London, 1895. The city is blanketed in snow, but beneath the festive white lies a crimson trail of vengeance. On the morning of December 23rd, the first body arrives on the morning frost. Lady Catherine Pemberton, a wealthy widow and prominent philanthropist, is found strangled in her Belgravia drawing room. Above her head hangs a grotesque gift: a red velvet stocking overflowing with her own blood-soaked jewellery and a single golden pear ornament. For consulting detective Octavius Frost, a man haunted by a childhood promise to never remain silent in the face of injustice, the symbolism is chillingly clear. A killer is performing a masterpiece—a "Twelve Days of Christmas" carol written in blood. Frost must partner with the formidable Dr. Helena Ashford, a pioneering female physician and forensic specialist, to decode a pattern of "accidental" deaths that have been occurring across London for over a week. As they unearth a dark conspiracy involving the Society of St. Nicholas, Frost is forced to confront the corruption in his own aristocratic family’s past and a tragedy twenty years in the making. The Frost Murders is the first investigation in the gripping Octavius Frost Mysteries, a planned 10-book series combining meticulous historical research with the atmospheric tension of classic Victorian crime fiction.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. In the heart of Manhattan's financial district, a grotesque masterpiece is unveiled: a woman’s remains, meticulously sutured into a position of eternal repose, her own skin fashioned into pages documenting her hidden crimes. For Detective Margaret Quillen, the scene is a sensory assault. Her synesthesia translates the world into a kaleidoscope of colors—and these murders scream in shades of burgundy and gold. As more "monuments" appear across the city, Margaret realizes she isn't just hunting a killer; she is witnessing a manifesto. The killer, known as The Surgeon, is selecting victims who escaped justice, transforming their sins into permanent anatomical displays. But the investigation is a trap. The Surgeon has been watching Margaret for a decade, waiting for the perfect moment to collect the final piece of a living masterpiece. To save her estranged daughter and stop the slaughter, Margaret must confront a monster she herself helped create—and a past that was never truly sutured shut. The first pulse-pounding installment of THE ANATOMICAL MURDERS series.

The Hearth of the World is fractured. The cure is a physics problem.

The crystalline capital, Solaraeth, is in crisis. Lord Valerion, the Usurper, shattered the great Luminarion Stone to seize its power. The Queen, using the destruction as a shield, scattered its seven core fragments-the Vesperlights. Leila and Jem are immediately thrust into a desperate quest to recover the Vesperlights before Valerion corrupts them all. Guided by Roric Hearthson, a sentinel of the Queen, the pragmatic children must face down Grimlin armies and overcome the perilous Sorrowing Sea. Their journey demands the impossible: to defeat the cosmic despair of Yfelheim with logic, courage, and the truth of sacrifice. Leila must surrender her certainty and Jem must find the warrior within, for the ultimate battle for the world's light has just begun.

Overlooked at school and in his own home, Arthur's unique gift is his resonance-his ability to feel the faint, emotional patina that time leaves on objects. One night, Arthur discovers a heavy, dark key hidden in his grandfather's trunk. It leads him not to a treasure chest, but to the Glimmerwood -a secret world where every tree is a memory and every shimmer is a powerful, poignant story. But this beautiful realm is under silent, creeping siege. The Alchemist of Absence is erasing the forest's stories, consuming them with a terrifyingly efficient stillness. Teaming up with Fig, an Echo-Folk woven from leaf-shadow and old secrets, Arthur learns that his greatest flaw is his only weapon. He must undertake an impossible quest to retrieve the realm's foundational memories-the Lost Cores -before the Great Amnesia consumes the world entirely. Arthur must sing where he was silent, be defiantly loud in the face of nothingness, and risk his soul to save a world that taught him the true power of listening. The Glimmerwood Key is a profound, breathtaking quest into the essence of memory, belonging, and finding the loudest truth in the quietest things.

Every storm has a sound- the tap of rain on the window, the whisper of wind, the rumble of thunder far above. But to one small child, storms bring a question whispered in the dark: "Will you still love me... even now?" In I'd Love You Through Every Storm, a tender-hearted parent answers that question with a journey through rainstorms, roaring winds, crackling lightning, swirling snow, and even the wild howl of a hurricane. With each turn of the page, a new weather wonder becomes a promise-steady, gentle, unshakeable: I'll love you like roots that hold fast... like stars that shine behind the clouds... like firelight that never fades... like the steady ground beneath your feet. As the storms grow louder, the love grows louder still-until the sky finally clears and a rainbow stretches across the world, reminding both parent and child that love shines brightest after the storm has passed. A soothing, lyrical picture book for any child who has ever felt small in a big, stormy world.

Lila noticed things other people missed- the heaviness of a cloud, the hush in her mother's voice, the tiny tremble of a worry drifting her way. One morning, when a small gray worry floated toward her, humming softly in the air, Lila did the only thing she could imagine. She caught it in a jar. And when another worry appeared... she caught that one too. Soon her shelves filled, then her windowsill, then the floor-until her room grew crowded with whispers, humming glass, and the weight of every worry she had ever tried to hide. But one day, a jar slipped. A crack formed. And something unexpected happened. The worry didn't grow bigger. It didn't chase her. It simply drifted into the light... and disappeared. In that quiet moment, Lila discovered a truth as gentle as a breath: Some worries aren't meant to be kept. Some are meant to be seen- and then let go. Journey with Lila through a tender, luminous story about feelings, courage, and the freedom found in releasing what we hold too tightly. A heartfelt picture book for every child who feels deeply... and every grown-up who loves them.

In a bustling city where buses bustle from stop to stop, one stands quietly apart. Marigold is a bright yellow vintage bus with a gentle rumble, warm headlight-eyes, and a secret: she doesn't take passengers where they ask to go, but where they need to be. Driven by Dotty, a cheerful, knitting conductor with a fondness for biscuits and riddles, Marigold guides travelers to unexpected places where small moments of magic and understanding unfold. One grey afternoon, three children board the bus, each carrying a private worry. Noor is running from a spelling bee she is certain she'll fail, Alfie hopes to escape the arguments at home, and Maya longs to get away from the grief she carries for someone she's lost. Instead of the destinations they request, Marigold takes them on a journey through surprising stops-a quiet library, a bustling restaurant full of messy love, and a peaceful hill overlooking the city-each one gently nudging them toward courage, understanding, and healing. By the time Marigold reaches her final stop on a golden little street called Lemon Street, all three children have found something they didn't know they were seeking: confidence, clarity, and peace. Warm, comforting, and full of heart, Last Stop, Lemon Street is a picture book about the difference between what we want and what we truly need-and the magic that appears when we are guided by kindness.
