From the New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Club—now an original Netflix series! Julia is a young woman with extraordinary powers. She has the ability to heal people with her touch. She also knows things that are happening in faraway places when she looks in water that has sunlight shining on it. She comes from a tradition of witches—good witches. But before Julia’s mother died, she warned her daughter never to look in water that had moonlight shining on it. Unfortunately, almost by accident, Julia does. What she sees is a vision of the future, a scene in which a young man she doesn’t know is shot and dies in her arms. Only later, when Julia attends a football game at school, does she meet the young man. He is her girlfriend’s new boyfriend. Julia immediately falls for the guy, but it is an ill-fated love. Julia doesn’t know if her vision of the future is set, or if it can be changed. She doesn’t know why the gunman in her vision evokes such hatred in her, and why she feels she must destroy him at all costs. But by using the supernatural powers at her command and risking her own life plus the lives of her friends, Julia will find the answers to all these questions—at a terrible cost.

Death at the Festival
Author: Barbara Yates Rothwell
Publisher: Trafford Publishing

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Australia has some fine and challenging arts/music festivals. I was involved with one some years ago as a music reviewer and found this story gradually forming in my mind. Murder, of course, is never funny and needs to be treated with respect, but I am certain that those who are involved with sorting out the whys and wherefores of a crime would agree that some of the characters who get involved do have their comic side. Marius Hogbein, the festival director, is horrified when his beloved festival becomes the scene for murder. The victims are all famous, and that bodes no good for the festivals reputation. But life has to go on, and he is dealing with performers who all have their own brand of ego to be reckoned with. The detective sergeant in charge of investigation, Nicholas Henry Jarvis Verdun, has no understanding of musicthough he does try. And having to deal with temperamental musicians is outside his job description.

Pages : 133
Book Description
Searching For The Truth, is fiction based on fact and is a sequel to my first book, which was published in 2005 and 2010. The storyline follows new information I have acquired since then. As you read this book, it will become obvious why I needed to change the names of the informants. In order to make a cohesive read, I assembled the tidbits of information with times, places, and connections that are fictious. For those readers who know this issue, and/or have read Is Anybody Listening?, I’m sure you will remember where that book ends in the Jim Birchim story. So, put on your detective hat and come along with Deborah as she tells you about the hunt for information leading to what happened to Captain James D. Birchim in the Vietnam War.

Book Description
She points the lens of the camera. The artist turns his head slightly. The light catches his brow and his silver-white hair. She snaps. He is lit like a Vermeer. Ireland. County Wexford, 1951. A father and son go swimming in the sea. The waves crash. The wind rises. Only one comes back—Colin, aged six. His mother, Eileen, runs to seek help, but this is a tragedy that will haunt them forever. Colin won’t speak a word. He is mute and struggling to cope. But Eileen can see he has a talent for painting. She shows him his father’s artwork and gives him a print of a Paul Henry landscape, and slowly, with her encouragement, he begins to follow his dream. Years later on Inishbofin island off the west coast of Ireland, out walking with his dog on the sand, Colin meets Laura, a young woman on holiday, and a tentative friendship starts to develop. Gradually his past comes to life in a story filled with love and frustration, loss and betrayal, but above all with the passion he has held through his life for the light in the sea and the sky and his search for that distant shore where the sky sweeps down to the water. One man. The sea. One painting.
