Book excerpt: Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty-helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists P.I. Ethan Truax to find the truth. Working together, they solve the mystery . . . and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden within a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him. Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope-because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step-and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celestial Convergence The celestial convergence drew near, and the realms held their collective breath in anticipation. Elysium's guardians, now fortified with the wisdom of the Celestials and the strength of their interdimensional alliances, stood at the forefront of this cosmic event. They understood that the fate of the multiverse hinged upon their ability to guide the convergence towards a harmonious culmination. In the final days leading up to the convergence, the guardians and their allies engaged in intricate rituals, weaving spells and forging cosmic sigils to channel and shape the energies that would converge. They established sanctuaries across the realms, centers where beings from all walks of life could gather to lend their energy and intentions to the celestial endeavor. At these sanctuaries, representatives from each realm shared their stories, knowledge, and experiences, fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for the diverse tapestry of existence. Beings who were once strangers became allies, bound together by a shared purpose and a desire to safeguard the cosmic symphony. The guardians delved into ancient prophecies and sacred texts, searching for clues and insights into the precise nature of the convergence. They discovered that the convergence was not simply a collision of energies, but a profound opportunity for transcendence—a moment when the barriers between realms would become porous, allowing for the exchange of energies and ideas on an unprecedented scale. As the convergence approached, the realms began to resonate in harmony, their energies intertwining like threads in a cosmic tapestry. The guardians, guided by their intuition and the collective wisdom of the council, channeled their energies into intricate rituals, infusing the convergence with intentions of unity, harmony, and enlightenment.
