HAPPY HALLOWEEN MONTH! Time to bring it! Pumpkins, ghosts, and witches. The only thing holding me back right now is getting all the Halloween decorations down from the attic. I’m not as young as I used to be and I was never coordinated. That’s a very bad combination. What I need to do is purge some of the decorations so I have fewer possibilities of falling down a ladder and breaking my arms and legs. Probably still wouldn’t stop me from decorating though. HA!

Black Seagull – Contemporary Family Drama
by Rinat Klein
Genre: Historical Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Embark on a riveting journey with Tamara Atias, a Russian-born single mother and a leading authority in forensic fingerprint analysis from Israel. Her mission leads her back to Russia, where she faces a murder case entirely reliant on fingerprint identification.
Amidst the crisp landscapes of a Siberian city, Tamara stumbles upon long-buried family secrets that will not only challenge the depths of her familial bonds but also the relationship with the enigmatic men who have drifted in and out of her life.
“Black Seagull” is a family drama that unfolds across various timelines. This engaging narrative commences in Minsk in 1973, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who participated in the significant wave of Soviet Union immigrants to Israel — an often-unheard perspective within contemporary Israeli literature.
This novel isn’t your typical detective narrative, though our protagonist, Tamara, is a forensic expert. While a murder case anchors the story, it’s a lens through which we examine Tamara’s sprawling family. The murder acts as a catalyst, setting off a journey into the intricate dynamics, hidden truths, and strained relationships of this complex family.
Beyond the family saga, the book subtly explores broader themes, such as immigration, integration, and identity. It offers insight into the immigrant experience, navigating the balance between embracing a new homeland and preserving one’s roots.
Additionally, the story delves into the issue of violence against women, shedding light on its profound impact within the family context. This theme is explored through various relationships, highlighting the consequences of abuse and the resilience of survivors.
“Black Seagull” goes beyond being just a suspenseful narrative, delving into the intricate dynamics of family, cultural conflicts, and the lasting impact of concealed truths. Rinat Klein, an immigrant from Russia herself, skillfully leads readers on an absorbing journey that provokes thought and captivates the imagination.

Gilchrist: A Novel of Horror and Suspense
by Christian Galacar
Genre: Horror | Suspense
FREE for a limited time
Winner Best Mystery-Thriller — Writer’s Digest 6th Annual Ebook Awards
“Gilchrist by Christian Galacar is terrifying. Stephen King made his readers afraid of clowns, cars and so much more; Christian Galacar WILL make you afraid of small towns and memories!” – Charla White, WordsAPlenty
“If you like Stephen King or Dean Koontz you will like this story.” – Sunny DuPree
“A genuinely scary book that I should not have read right before bed.” – Dannielle Insalaco
Bag of Bones meets Stranger Things…
Gilchrist is as beautiful as it is terrifying — a novel of mounting suspense, with an unsettlingly human heart at its core… black as it may be.
Two years after losing their infant son to a tragic accident, Peter Martell, a novelist with a peculiar knack for finding lost things, and his wife, Sylvia, are devastated to learn they may no longer be able to have children. In need of a fresh start, and compelled by strange dreams, the couple decide to rent a lake house in the idyllic town of Gilchrist, Massachusetts, a place where bad things might just happen for a reason. As bizarre events begin to unfold around them — a chance encounter with a gifted six-year-old boy, a series of violent deaths, and repeated sightings of a strange creature with a terrifying nature — Peter and Sylvia find themselves drawn into the chaos and soon discover that coming to Gilchrist may not have been their decision at all.
Set against a small New England town in the summer of 1966, Gilchrist is a sinister tale about the haunting origins of violence, evil, and the undying power of memory.

Letters of a Woman Homesteader
by Elinore Pruitt Stewart
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
This “warmly delightful, vigorously affirmative” memoir of a woman homesteader in early twentieth-century Wyoming inspired the acclaimed film Heartland (The Wall Street Journal).
In 1909, Elinore Pruitt answered an ad in the Denver Post to become Henry Clyde Stewart’s housekeeper on his homestead outside Burntfork, Wyoming. Elinore soon fell in love with the land’s vast, untamed beauty, and filed a claim for her own adjoining property under the Homestead Act. Over the next five years, she not only made a home for herself, but traveled extensively across the state, befriending every neighbor within a hundred miles.
Through it all — weddings and births, illnesses and snowstorms, changing seasons and changing times — Elinore maintained correspondence with her former employer Juliet Coney in Denver, Colorado. In vivid detail and with lively prose, Elinore told Juliet of life as a woman in the American West. First published in the Atlantic Monthly, these letters made their author an American icon of her time.
“Full of the tang of the prairies and of a delightful personality.” — The New York Times
