in the Otherworld Book 1

by
Francesca McMahon

YA Contemporary Fantasy, Mythology

The first lesson Eilean MacAlistair
learned in blacksmithing: First, you harden, and then you
temper.

Otherwise, your metal will break.

The

A
few years back, Eilean didn’t temper herself, and she broke
someone. Badly. Hospital badly.

Her
family had to flee Scotland because of her, but now they’ve
returned, and 17-year-old Eilean’s life feels like a forge with the
temperature rising around her. Mamó is sick, her family is straining
at the seams, and magic is real!

An
Otherworld has been calling to her from beneath Loch Lomond.

When
she answers, Eilean discovers a world of blacksmiths in ballgowns,
cruel cyclopses, and chronically critical kelpies.

Because
she didn’t have enough problems to deal with already.

Will
Eilean be able to temper herself against everything in this strange
new world, and withstand the weight of her past? Or will she break
once again?

Find
out in the first adventure of Eilean in the Otherworld, The Spiral of
Life, a young adult fantasy inspired by Celtic folklore.

Shakespeare’s Conspirator – Spotlight & Giveaway

Shakespeare’s Conspirator

 Did a shunned Jewish woman of color write many of Shakespeare’s
plays?

A young woman seals
a secret pact with Shakespeare bringing her plays into the world but
the acclaim to him, yet she embeds subtle clues pointing to her
authorship and imperiling her life.

Shakespeare’s Conspirator

The Woman, The
Writer, The Clues

by Steve Weitzenkorn

Genre: Historical
Fiction

 Brimming with intrigue, SHAKESPEARE’S CONSPIRATOR shatters beliefs
about the world’s greatest playwright. Did he really write the
thirty-seven plays credited to him?

It’s 1587.
Shakespeare is struggling to launch his career. Finally he persuades
James Burbage, a theater owner, to stage Henry VI. He’s the same
proprietor who refused to look at Amelia Bassano’s comedic script.
Infuriated after being blocked at every turn, she reluctantly seals a
secret pact with Shakespeare.

So begins a fiery
relationship that triggers suspicions, plots to expose them, and
grave dangers.Craving recognition and ways to break through, Amelia
pursues illicit relationships with Elizabethan luminaries while
becoming a controversial advocate for women.

Scandals and
complications follow as her life takes dreadful turns. When
Shakespeare pressures her to write a soul-tormenting script, she
fears being exposed as a hidden Jew, a felony in Elizabethan England.
Undeterred, she embeds hints to her authorship and true identity in
Shakespeare’s plays. But not everyone is deceived.

In this captivating
story, the web of secrets and trail of clues reveals a perilous and
cloaked Shakespearean world.

REVIEWERS HAVE CALLED  SHAKESPEARE’S
CONSPIRATOR:
 

A STUNNING
ACHIEVEMENT.”

A MUST READ ON THE
TRUE AUTHORSHIP OF SOME OF SHAKESPEARE’S GREATEST WORK.”

AN HISTORICAL
WHO-WROTE-IT,” “ENTHRALLING,” “LOVINGLY RESEARCHED.“

A TRIBUTE TO A
STRONG AND CREATIVE JEWISH WOMAN.”

Amazon

 I write historical fiction that challenges assumptions and provides
fresh insights into the events of prior centuries, legendary figures,
and people overlooked in the sweep of time. My first novel,
Shakespeare’s Conspirator, has been optioned by a
celebrity-owned production company in LA. It imagines the life of
Emilia Bassano Lanyer, a real woman who may have written several
plays attributed to Shakespeare. I’ve also written a prequel and
sequel that delves in to the Shakespeare authorship mystery. With any
luck, all may be coming to a screen near you.

My writing journey
began as I was winding down my career as an organizational behavior
consultant and co-authored a book on teamwork and leadership. As an
avid reader, I became intrigued by curious fact patterns inconsistent
with commonly-held beliefs, that I, like many others, assumed were
true. When I realized the logic of those assumptions did not always
hold up to close scrutiny, and experts had dug trenches around their
own theories, I launched into my own research. Fascinating stories
emerged and my imagination took over.

Since most people
don’t read academic material, I reasoned that a compelling way to
convey the evidence and challenge beliefs was to depict real and
fictional characters dropping the bread crumbs, or following them, in
reality-based historical fiction. In my novels, characters uncover
and discuss clues through intriguing plots that track with historical
chronologies—allowing readers to form their own conclusions.

My most recent
published novel delves into the Spanish Inquisition, the trauma it
created, and the life-changing decisions it triggered. Two other
historical novels are in the pipeline. In one, the protagonist
discovers her family’s hidden past while alternate chapters track
her ancestor’s journey over hundreds of years.

I have also
co-authored two non-fiction books: The Catalyst Effect: 12
Skills to Boost Your Impact and Elevate Team Performance and
Find-Fulfill-Flourish
about
discovering one’s purpose.

I
have a dry sense of humor along with a Ph.D. in Human Learning and
Organizational Behavior. I’ve been honored with the William C.
Byham Award for Innovation and Excellence in Training Technology and
the Henkel Award for Global HR Excellence. I have served on the
boards of nonprofit organizations and as president of two. I enjoy
mentoring, teaching, presenting, volunteering, and learning in any
way possible.

The Three Investivators Series – Spotlight & Giveaway

 

 The Three Investigators series are a wonderful and wholesome mix of
adventure, mystery, comedy, and critical thinking/detection. They
enthralled several generations of readers worldwide – and in these
new 60th-anniversary editions, they are again ready to take on
the world!

The Secret of Terror Castle

The Three
Investigators Book 1

by Robert Arthur

Genre: Middle-Grade Mysteries with a Supernatural hook

 In the first adventure of Robert Arthur’s classic mystery series,
it’s 1964 in the town of Rocky Beach, California. Working out of
their newly established Headquarters – an old trailer hidden behind
carefully arranged junk in the Jones Salvage Yard – and driven
around southern California in a gold-plated vintage Rolls Royce
they’ve won the use of in a contest, Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw,
and Bob Andrews decide to get publicity for their fledgling detective
firm by finding a real haunted house for the renowned film director
Reginald Clarke.

But although the highly rational Jupiter
starts with the belief that there is no such thing as a ghost, a
spook, a phantom, or a spirit, Terror Castle – the old mansion
supposedly troubled by the ghost of the late Stephen Terrill, the
silent horror film star called the Man with a Million Faces – may
prove him wrong!

By turns exciting, spine-tingling, and
humorous, The Secret of Terror Castle promises to please not only the
existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new
generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different
boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that
curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as
friendship and cooperation.

At the end of each Three
Investigators book published by Hollow Tree Press are notes written
by Robert Arthur’s daughter and son-in-law, exploring three subjects
connected to the story – in this case, Silent Movies, Salvage
Yards, and Rolls Royces – and young readers may want to use the
notes as guidelines for further investigation. After all, the motto
of The Three Investigators is “We Investigate Anything,”
and their trademark is “???” – three question marks, taken
together.

On the 60th anniversary of the creation of The
Three Investigators series, the first-ever English-language e-book
editions of Robert Arthur’s novels, as well as the first new
English-language print editions in over twenty-five years, stand
ready to delight a whole new audience. Be sure to seek out all ten
titles!

The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot

The Three
Investigators Book 2

 In the second adventure of Robert Arthur’s classic mystery series,
Jupiter, Pete and Bob are in search of a missing parrot. The case
soon gets complicated as they discover that not one but six talking
parrots and a mynah bird have disappeared.

With the help
of their new friend Carlos, the Three Investigators figure out that
each of the birds has been taught to recite part of a complex puzzle,
that, when taken together, could lead the boys to a great painting.
But as their search takes them to a spooky graveyard, they’re not the
only ones hot on the trail!

By turns puzzling, compelling,
and absorbing, The Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot promises to
please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators
series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its
pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and
intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational
inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.

ROBERT
ARTHUR is best known as the creator of THE THREE INVESTIGATORS, the
classic mystery series for young readers, for which he wrote the
first ten books before his untimely death in 1969. By
the time the last English-language-original book was published in the
late 1980s, there were forty-three titles, some of which had been
translated into over twenty languages.

Young readers in the U.S., Canada,
Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand, Denmark, Italy,
Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, and Slovakia, as well as in France,
Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and throughout the
Spanish-speaking world grew up on the books, and many credit their
lifetime love of reading to having discovered the story of three
young American boys who form a detective agency.

Robert Arthur got the idea for the series
while working in Hollywood as a story editor, showrunner, and
scriptwriter for Alfred Hitchcock’s TV show, Alfred
Hitchcock Presents
. In 1963, he
left Hollywood and moved to Cape May, New Jersey, where, in a
brown-shingled house two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, he created
The Three Investigators. The
Secret of Terror Castle
 and The
Mystery of the Stuttering Parrot
 were
published in 1964 by Random House. The series’ original title was
ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS.

The books
have supernatural hooks — haunted houses, whispering mummies,
gnomes, ghosts riding carousels, screaming clocks, talking skulls —
that turn out, after closer examination, to have rational
explanations.

From his memories of his years in southern
California, Arthur created the small fictional town of Rocky
Beach, not far from Hollywood. His disbelief and dismay at the way
old houses were being torn down and their contents junked resulted in
his placing The Three Investigators Headquarters in a salvage yard,
where all sorts of goods have been reclaimed and are for sale. He
based his head investigator, Jupiter Jones, on his idea of a young
American Sherlock Holmes, and the boy who keeps records and does
research — Bob Andrews — he based on himself (they have the
same initials!)

The books are a wonderful and wholesome mix
of adventure, mystery, comedy, and critical thinking/detection. They
enthralled several generations of readers worldwide – and in this
new 60th-anniversary edition, they are again ready to take on
the world.

“Written in Stone
is author Diane Bator’s first novel in her latest mystery series.
The book is fast paced and engaging, revealing layer after layer of
mystery.” – Angela Van Breeman

pulse-pounding peril, sharply-plotted mystery, and a delicious touch

Death of a Jaded Samurai

Gilda
Wright Mysteries Book 1

by
Diane Bator

Genre:
Cozy Mystery

The scroll of the Four
Possessions of the Samurai holds the key to a deadly mystery…

Gilda
Wright thinks she’s landed a dream job as the receptionist at a
karate school. Her boss, Sensei Mick Williams, is almost as demanding
as he is sexy, but Gilda is inspired by the strength and courage of
the people around her. When Gilda finds the body of one of the
instructors in the dojo with a sword through his chest, she must find
her own inner strength and fast! The police regard everyone in the
school as suspects, including her boss, and it’s up to Gilda to
find out what really happened. She follows the clues of the missing
scroll of the Four Possessions of the Samurai down a deadly path
filled with lies, deceit, and poisoned ninja stars.

If
she doesn’t watch her back, she just may become the killer’s next
target.
