The Bow of Destiny by Paul Smith

Loss and uncertainty taunt Athson with haunting visions and whispers. Orphaned at an early age, he grapples with hallucinations, including the presence of a faithful dog that exists solely in his mind. But these unsettling reminders of his past have returned with a dream.
Bound by a promise to his dead father, Athson desires a peaceful life rather than a legendary bow prophesied to defeat a dragon. Yet, his reluctance only deepens his peril, as the menacing dragon and a cunning wizard seek the bow – and his life.

Unwillingly thrust into a destiny he never sought, Athson embarks on a harrowing quest more like a march toward his own demise than a triumphant quest. Along the way, his haunting past confronts him until he uncovers the impossible – a secret which either empowers his destiny or leads to a vengeful fate.

With danger lurking at every turn and the boundaries between reality and madness blurring, Athson navigates a treacherous balance of truth and secrets. Who can he trust when enemies circle like vultures? Will he muster the strength to seize his destiny against all odds, or will he succumb to the darkness that threatens to engulf him?

Join Athson on this gripping adventure, where the fight for survival intertwines with the search for destiny, and every choice promises salvation or destruction.

Shattered Windows by Deborah L. Fruchey

“Care for a tour through the landscapes of a woman’s heart? Here’s your ride.

“Deborah Fruchey’s Shattered Windows presents us with a chorus of women’s voices: some hers, some imagined, some in-between. These short pieces are a trek through many hearts, each unique and somehow so familiar. One page captures keenly drawn despair…while the next is charged with hope…Then we turn the page for more. Fruchey observes each without judgment and with empathy aplenty. Each scenario, each emotion, each person here feels true and painted with a knowing eye.”

—Richard Loranger, author of Mammal and Unit of Agency

The Secret of God’s Banker by Alex F Chavez

Detective Angelo Marquez, of the Chicago PD, arrives at The Cathedral of Saint Thomas Aquinas where he has tracked Father Francesco, a prime suspect in the theft of an ancient relic stolen from the Vatican Private Archives. Concurrently, Detective Ann Polities of DuPage County’s M.E.R.I.T. arrives as the hostage negotiator that Father Francesco demanded to have on-scene, lest he detonate an incendiary and bring down the cathedral, killing everyone inside.

As she endeavors to convince Father Francesco to free the hostages, he agrees to release them on the condition that she meet with him in person. Adding the encrypted statement, “Mordechai sits at the palace gate,” which raises a red flag for Angelo that Ann dismisses in order to secure the hostages. But upon entering the cathedral, the bomb is detonated, and Ann is knocked unconscious and transported to Central DuPage Hospital.

When Angelo arrives at the hospital, he discovers that the F.B.I. suspects her involvement in the bombing and plans to question her when she regains consciousness. Curious about why Father Francesco had insisted on her presence at the cathedral, Angelo convinces Ann to flee the hospital in order to prove her innocence and find the priest.

Upon arriving at Nagi’s home a few miles away, Angelo reveals the clues left in place of the stolen relic. The coded message and symbol immediately get Nagi’s attention before local law enforcement converge on his home. Together, the three embark on a perilous quest throughout Chicago and its suburbs to locate Father Francesco and recover what he has stolen.

Unraveling clue after clue left for them to find, Angelo and Ann soon discover dark secrets about the Church of Rome that numerous entities will go to great lengths to protect, including a forty-year-old murder of a banker in possession of one of the Church’s most dangerous relics. The shocking truth they uncover reveals what no one is ready to believe…and brings an old enemy out of the shadows.
