The Key
Memories unfold like scents carried on the wind one breath of lilac, crisp bacon, coffee, or freshly toasted bread can transport us back in time. For me, the scent of mothballs lingers strongest, forever tied to the narrow, enclosed staircase in my grandparents farmhouse. That dark passage, designed to keep the main floor warm, held the scent of stored goods, protected from tiny pests by the sharp odor of mothballs. It was a place of mystery, a gateway to adventure in a home that stood firm through the Great Depression and the harsh Dakotah winters. Winters were so fierce that children, including my parents, were sent to stay with town families where school remained open. Meanwhile, my grandparents and other farmers kept their coal-heated homes running, waiting for the plows to carve paths through the deep snowdrifts. Even in summer, the house carried its secrets. The coal cellar and hidden storage areas held the whispers of the past, each one an invitation to adventure.

I won't say this is the book you've ALL been waiting for, but some of you definitely. And I say that because... my daughter is still waiting for me to decide that I need to write another series connected to this one with a continuing story.I was very careful when I wrote the main books in this series, to tie everything up nice and neat in the fifth one, while still leaving enough possibilities open that there could be more later if the readers wanted it. So, that may still be coming... We'll all have to wait and see.As far as these stories go though-here is your fair warning. If you have NOT read the Order of the Moonstone series, some of the short stories contained in this book are going to have spoilers. Not so much the first one, but definitely the fourth... and then also the last three stories, two of which are BRAND NEW!I have placed them in time order-when they actually happened in the story timeline. I didn't release them that way originally because they contain so many spoilers.So, you should definitely read the main series first... unless you don't care about spoilers. ENJOY!

ECHOES - You Wrote the Truth. Then It Wrote Back.
Tara never meant to build a therapy app. She just needed something smart-sounding to survive a networking mixer. So she made something up-Reflekt; an app that journal in and reflect, maybe even understand you.Then she actually built it.The prototype was clever. But it didn't land. When it flopped during testing, Tara shelved it and moved on-sort of.When she reconnects with Mina-an old friend and once-collaborator, everything shifted. Tara begins to see that the app hadn't failed because it was bad. It failed because she hadn't truly understood what it was for.With Mina's clarity, Sahana's persistence, Aarav's grounding presence, and a therapist who won't let her hide behind logic, Tara decides to rebuild-this time for the right reasons.But just as things finally begin to make sense, a new round of testing cracks it all wide open. Friendships strain. Doubts creep in. And the app that started as a story threatens to pull the truth out of everyone-especially Tara.ECHOES is a sharp, emotionally honest novel about ego, healing, and the terrifying risk of being understood. It's for anyone who's ever put their heart into something... and then had to ask if they still believe in it. Perfect for readers who've ever wondered if their greatest creation might also be their greatest mistake.

"Irish" & A Man's Game
Adapted Classics presents two illustrated human interest stories by Irish author Donn Byrne. Both stories are about professional boxers who fight opponents in the ring while simultaneously battling demons within themselves. "Irish" follows a popular, young boxer on the rise who knowingly risks his spotless record by taking a match he believes un-winnable for money he needed to support to his unappreciative, delusional father. The second story, A Man's Game, tells of an aging boxing champion who is harassed by his conscience in the ring for accepting a match he didn't want and an outcome he couldn't abide for bribe money he would use to advance his son's education. The fighting scenes in these stories are vividly described, partly owing to Donn Byrne's experience as an amateur boxer who attained the lightweight championship while attending Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland.To add both context and interest to these outstanding stories, Liam O'Neil envisions, interprets, and illustrates the boxer characters and their battles in and out of the ring to great effect. His 29 illustrations shine forth brilliantly to grace these deeply probing and lively Donn Byrne stories.

The Executioners Three
An instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller!From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes The Executioners Three, a mystery filled with rivalry, romance, best friends, and a gruesome curse that dates back centuries. *This beautiful hardcover edition includes designed printed edges and special endpapers.* Freddie Gellar didn't mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She'd simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she'd called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying? Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie's instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there's a murderer at large. But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie's failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante. Worse, the clever--and gorgeous--leader of the rival prank squad has set his sights on Freddie. As more pranks unfurl, more bodies also start piling up in the forest. But it's the supernatural warning signs around town, each plucked straight from an old forgotten poem called "The Executioners Three," that worry Freddie the most. She knows the poem and its blood curse can't be real, but she's quickly running out of time to prove it. Because the murderer--or executioners?--knows she's onto them now, and their next target just might be Freddie. "An irresistible blend of small-town murder mystery and spine-tingling supernatural elements."--Karen M.
