The Darkhurst Chronicles
Undertaker
brothers fight the monsters who killed their family and uncover a
dark secret that could destroy a kingdom.
Reckoning
A
Darkhurst Novel Book 3
by
Gail Z. Martin
Genre:
Dark Epic Fantasy Adventure
Undertaker
brothers fight the monsters who killed their family and uncover a
dark secret that could destroy a kingdom.
When Corran, Rigan, and their
friends became outlaw monster hunters and fled beyond the walls of
Ravenwood City, they thought they had defeated the source of the
abominations that killed so many of their friends and loved ones. But
the more successful they become at destroying the creatures, the more
they realize that greater evil is at work—larger and more
terrifying than they ever imagined.
The city-state of Ravenwood is
wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. Ambitious and ruthless leaders use
betrayal and assassination to gain their ends. Blood magic conjures
monsters to further the goals of the ruling class and stolen power
is paid for by the deaths of commoners. But now the magic extracts
too high a toll, merchant princes scheme against each other,
smugglers and pirates threaten the trade that holds the kingdom
together, and old alliances shatter. Darkhurst’s wastrel king seems
ill-suited to stop the collapse of the merchant league and the
kingdom itself.
When fanatic priests begin a
reign of terror to summon ravenous beings and cause the unmaking of
the world, Corran, Rigan, and their friends face an impossible task.
They must bind the monstrous First Being, stop the priests from
bringing about their blood-soaked reckoning, and put a king on the
throne that will end the cull forever. The price of failure is the
destruction of Darkhurst and the world itself.
Reckoning is the fast-paced,
action-packed conclusion to a monster-filled fantasy adventure with
non-stop twists and turns, loyal brothers, found family, forbidden
magic, vengeful ghosts, high-stakes intrigue, and dangerous secrets
set in a vibrantly visualized world.

Afraid
for the succession, a young king must prove himself worthy

friend becomes a deadly enemy. This is the eighth and final part of
the Egypt saga.
A
lockdown project inspired by ancient Egypt.
Having
been a passionate avocational Egyptologist for most of my life, I
often wondered what it might have been like to live in those far-off
times. During the Covid lockdown, I started writing a short story to
pass the time, and this eventually developed into a saga about just
such a fantasy (at almost 400,000 words, I think it counts as a saga
anyway!).
It
started as a mystery involving the son of a humble embalmer who is
told to prepare the body of the king’s daughter for the afterlife.
Unknown to anyone else, he has secretly loved the girl for
as long as he could remember and when he discovers that she had been
murdered, sets out to solve the mystery and prevent a plot against
the king himself. Then, in the way of all addictions, the story grew
as new adventures presented themselves and new members of the
extended family were introduced.
The
eight stories that make up The
Will of the Gods
is set in Pharaonic (‘Ancient’) Egypt during the time of the New
Kingdom. Although published in three volumes, they form a continuous
narrative. They follow the same principal characters, told in the
first person, through interconnected adventures spanning about fifty
years and the reigns of four kings. This novel contains several
adult themes.

I’m the type of person that often has a wacky, shocking, or
silly–but totally true–story to tell about my life.
(Like the time my brother and I were
chased through a secluded strip of woods in the middle of the city,
for over a mile, by a naked man with an erection.)
(Or the time a trucker threw an open
bottle of pee out his passenger side window without looking right as
I was walking by. You can guess what I got splashed with.)
(Or the time a man hit me with his
pickup truck on purpose while I was riding my bike to school, and
then insisted I get into the vehicle with him so he could drive me
the rest of the way as an apology. Needless to say, I resisted.)
The early part of my childhood was
spent on a small farmstead, and I’ve got an active imagination that
tends toward the outrageous and the macabre, which led to me being
voted “most likely to borrow someone else’s car to transport a
dead body.”

by Christer Tholin
Genre: Mystery,
Crime
A Swedish Crime Novel
Umeå, Northern
Sweden: Willmar Björkman has been incarcerated for five years
after being found guilty on a murder charge; albeit unjustly
convicted according to his claims. From the very start, he has
adamantly maintained that he is innocent of the crime. Detectives
Lars and Elin are hired to find new evidence that casts doubt upon
the validity of the guilty verdict so that a retrial of his case can
be requested. Is that even possible now that so much time has passed?
The two detectives start asking around to dig up some new
information, but find themselves facing a wall of silence – nobody
seems interested in reopening the case. In fact, they themselves are
uncertain if Willmar is even innocent at all. But then the
coincidences begin to pile up and ultimately the investigation spins
completely out of control…
ACQUITTAL? is the fifth,
standalone book from Christer Tholin’s Stockholm Sleuth
Series.

was raised in the North of Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. After having
spent years in Berlin / Germany, Brighton /UK and Budapest / Hungary,
he has now been living in Stockholm / Sweden for almost two decades.
As a crime-story aficionado of
long standing, Christer always wanted to write detective stories of
his own that would not only be exciting, but that would also be set
against the backdrop of the natural beauty of Sweden – and that would
afford him the opportunity to portray Swedish society as seen through
the eyes of a foreigner. The result: his “Stockholm Sleuth
Series.”

The Overlooked Essentials
The Overlooked Essentials of Adulting: A Guide to Navigating Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Embarking on the journey of adulthood brings with it a plethora of responsibilities, challenges, and opportunities for growth. While many adulting guides focus on practical skills like budgeting, cooking, and finding a job, there’s a crucial aspect often overlooked: mental and emotional well-being. In this blog post, I’ll explore ten essential topics that are often neglected but are vital for navigating the ups and downs of adult life with resilience and grace.
1. Stress Management:
Life can be overwhelming at times, but learning how to manage stress is essential for maintaining well-being. Techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness meditation, and regular exercise can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
2. Emotional Intelligence:
Understanding and managing emotions are key skills for success in both personal and professional life. Developing emotional intelligence involves cultivating self-awareness, empathy, and effective communication skills.
3. Self-Care Practices:
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to neglect self-care. However, prioritizing activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul is essential for maintaining overall well-being. This can include activities such as exercise, hobbies, spending time with loved ones, and practicing gratitude.
4. Setting Boundaries:
Healthy boundaries are crucial for maintaining healthy relationships and protecting your mental health. Learning to communicate your needs and limits assertively can prevent burnout and resentment in both personal and professional settings.
5. Decision-Making Skills:
Life is full of decisions, big and small. Developing effective decision-making skills involves gathering information, weighing options, and considering potential outcomes. Learning to make decisions confidently and thoughtfully can lead to greater satisfaction and success in life.
6. Coping with Failure and Rejection:
Failure and rejection are inevitable parts of life, but they don’t have to define us. Learning to bounce back from setbacks with resilience and grace is a valuable skill that can lead to personal growth and success in the long run.
7. Building Healthy Relationships:
Positive relationships are essential for our well-being, but they require effort and care to maintain. Investing time and energy into fostering meaningful connections with friends, family, and romantic partners can enrich our lives and provide vital support during difficult times.
8. Mindfulness and Meditation:
In today’s fast-paced world, mindfulness and meditation offer valuable tools for finding peace and presence amidst the chaos. Cultivating a regular mindfulness practice can reduce stress, increase focus, and promote overall well-being.
9. Seeking Help When Needed:
There’s no shame in asking for help when you need it. Whether it’s seeking support from friends and family or reaching out to a professional therapist, recognizing when you need assistance and taking steps to get it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
10. Cultivating Gratitude and Positivity:
Practicing gratitude and maintaining a positive outlook can have profound effects on our mental and emotional well-being. By focusing on the things we’re thankful for and cultivating optimism, we can build resilience and find joy in everyday life.
While mastering practical skills is undoubtedly important, it’s equally crucial to prioritize our mental and emotional well-being as we navigate the challenges of adulthood. By paying attention to these often-overlooked aspects of adulting, we can cultivate greater resilience, happiness, and fulfillment in our lives. So, let’s embrace the journey of self-discovery and growth, one mindful step at a time.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Everyone!
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of you awesome folks who have been with me on this writing journey. It’s been a wild ride, and I couldn’t have done it without your support.
First and foremost, a huge thank you to Cedar Fort Publishing and to God for this amazing opportunity to share my upcoming book, Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet, with the world. It’s been a dream come true to work with such an amazing team.
And to all of my readers, whether you’ve followed along since day one or just discovered my work, thank you for your endless encouragement. You guys are the reason I do what I do, and I am so grateful for every one of you! Ensure you enter the upcoming $50 gift card, the Goodreads Giveaway and stay in the loop for my book signings in the next few months!
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, let’s spread extra love and appreciation to those who make our lives brighter. And here’s hoping that “Adulting: The Ultimate Cheat Sheet” will be a helpful resource for anyone who needs guidance in the crazy world of adulthood.
So here’s to love, laughter, and the adventure of life. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
Warmest regards,
