A Grimoire Dark
Summary
An orphan girl. A hellish spirit. A fight for more than just her life. When Del Lareaux leaves the St. Augustine orphanage, she is desperate to build a normal life for herself and Jimmy, the mentally handicapped boy she spent years protecting. But when a hellish spirit is raised from the dark swamps of Louisiana, abominations of unimaginable horror begin to prey on the lost souls of New Orleans, and Del’s soul is the most coveted. When Del learns the truth of her secret heritage, she is faced with a choice: forego the gift she was born with for the normal life she dreams of, or embrace her birthright and the dark consequences that follow. A Grimoire Dark is an exciting new style of suspense-horror novel. Threads of Stephen King and Edgar Allen Poe weave a nightmare veil through which dark elements of a Lovecraftian horror tale are glimpsed; for, to view them directly would be one's undoing.

The Sea Kings
Summary
The descendants of Kaleva, the ancient giant, still rule old Kvenland but events are about to happen that will change the family dynamic, sending the sons of Thorri Snaersson on a mission of rescue for one of their own. As they scour the mainland and the islands surrounding Norway and Denmark as far as Orkney, they will conquer all the towns and villages in their path. The search ends with a surprise and a compromise with unexpected rewards and unspeakable tragedies. J.A. takes the dry narrative of the ancient sagas and brings it to life, one unforgettable character at a time. Not since the Orkneyinga Saga and Heimskringla has the tale of the settlement of Norway and the Orkneys been told in such vivid detail! You will cross the Kjolens with Nor and sail the Kattegat with Gor. You will battle with Halfdan the Black and his half-brother Olaf Gudrodsson. You will conquer Norway with Harald Fairhair and Rognvald the Wise. It is the author's own family genealogy with the history of Norway and a little Norse mythology sprinkled in.

Stone Cold: Between a Stone and a Hard Place
Summary
On the surface Major William Stone (Retired) is merely a rich English expatriate with a diverse military and financial services background now living in Palermo, Argentina, where he runs a small art gallery along with his assistant Margarita Cervantes. If you scratch the surface, you'll find that Stone was recently the chauffeur for Mrs. Josephine Murphy, heiress to the Murphy Peanut Butter Company, the largest peanut butter manufacturer in the USA, and owner of numerous expensive thoroughbred racehorses. This seemingly incongruous set of circumstances gets even more intriguing when you learn that Stone inherited over one billion dollars when Josephine Murphy died in a tragic, and somewhat questionable, car accident in the hills of Palermo, Sicily leaving Major Stone the bulk of her estate. After the Murphy estate is settled, Stone disappears to reemerge in Argentina leading a quiet and peaceful life as a wealthy art gallery owner and financier. His good fortune is tempered by the fact he left the love of his life, Jesse James, protégé to gangster Johnny Luck, back in LA. The problem is, Major William Stone died in the Falkland Islands and the man now assuming his modified identity is disgraced MI6 financial wizard Jacob Conrad. Conrad took the fall for his Vauxhall Cross masters' illegal shenanigans ending up in jail with a lengthy prison term. According to the British newspaper reports, Conrad died in Belmarsh Prison, only to be resurrected by Section Six's cyber boffins as William Stone, international financial consultant living in Hong Kong, where he runs into Charlie Long, Dragon Head of the Wan Chai and a major rival of the Hong Mian, led by Benson Yeung and Johnny Luck. Stone Cold dives deep into the back-story of how Jacob Conrad becomes William Stone, why he disappeared leaving Jesse behind, and who'll control the flow of cocaine into the USA. From Hong Kong to Palermo, London, Cacaloxuchitl, Mexico, and Los Angeles, this is a tale of secret agents, drug dealers, money launders, and murders, all wrapped in a delicious recipe of greed, envy, cocaine, and peanut butter chili.

Lee gathers collectively a diverse group of psychologists and intellectual health professionals to discover the risks Trump’s speech and behavior pose for democracy and our survival. In doing so, the book explores the ethical concerns of publicly speaking out concerning the mental health of a public figure. Do mental fitness experts have a duty to warn the public about the volatile behavior of a person in power?

However, ultimately, Lee leaves it as much to us to determine about Trump’s mental health, asking us to think seriously about his behavior and words and to speak up if we are concerned.
