Six – The Hameggattic Legacy, #1by Robert Iannone

A millennium has passed since the reign of Eloise, the Last Queen of Aerianna. In the ensuing years, the world held true to her vision. That was about to end. Inequality amongst the citizenry is growing. Those with wealth and power are on the cusp of creating a technology so enticing that no one would be able to resist. Once ensnared, the people of Aerianna, indeed of the entire Coven of Worlds, would become unwitting pawns in the creation of a galactic empire.

But a long-dead Queen was not about to let her legacy die nor abandon her people in their time of need.

This female-centric Sci-Fi series continues with Mystree – The Hameggattic Legacy, #2.

The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Orderby Joan Wickersham

National Book Award Finalist: “Wickersham has journeyed into the dark underworld inside her father and herself and emerged with a powerful, gripping story.” —The Boston Globe

One winter morning in 1991, Joan Wickersham’s father shot himself in the head. The father she loved would never have killed himself, and yet he had. His death made a mystery of his entire life. Who was he? Why did he do it? And what was the impact of his death on the people who loved him? Using an index–the most formal and orderly of structures–Wickersham explores this chaotic and incomprehensible reality. Every bit of family history, every encounter with friends, doctors, and other survivors, exposes another facet of elusive truth. Dark, funny, sad, and gripping, at once a philosophical and a deeply personal exploration, The Suicide Index is, finally, a daughter’s anguished, loving elegy to her father.

This One’s for You, Dadby Katherine H. Klemp

Everybody knows that kids make the best detectives, because nobody takes kids seriously.

Are they moving into danger? After her father’s death, fifteen-year-old Carly Grant and her three siblings have gone to live with their grandfather in Nebraska. Their mother has accepted a job out of the country. Shortly after Mom leaves, Grandpa starts to get forgetful. Can the kids cover for Gramps and keep his forgetfulness hidden until Mom comes home? It’s no secret the townspeople don’t like having the children around. But why? Carly finds it has something to do with their dad. The Eagle River Detectives are determined to clear their father’s name, but they may have to risk their lives to do it! Follow along as they uncover dangerous secrets that have been deeply buried for years, in this first installment of the Eagle River Detectives adventures.

Author’s note: I wrote this for 10-17- year-olds, but found that my senior friends enjoyed the story as much as the kids, so now I think of it as a Cozy Mystery Lite.

Eat Your Wordsby Isabel Chiara

Giana Giovanni wants you to know you're not alone. If you've ever found your heart racing, fingers fumbling to rip open a bag of something crispy, salty, sticky or sweet; if you've ended one reckless night swearing off a corner store the way some attempt to swear off a bad romance, Giana wants you to know, she's been there, too.

Eat Your Words outlines the history of a first-generation American Italian girl whose early curvaceous entry into womanhood and hearty appetite make for a complex-carb tale about the depth of our relationship with self-nourishment. Often self-derogatory, and certainly comedic, readers can fall in love with Giana as they relate to her often awkward and outlandish process, simply trying to find herself in the land of milk and honey. Nearing her 6th decade, join Giana as she realizes it is never too late to gain a sense of self-compassion and confront issues of body-image, or attempt to modify outworn behaviors.

Particularly relevant for those involved in the healing arts, Giana's story will inform as it entertains, leaving the fortified reader one step closer to herself by its end.
