Once great and powerful sorcerers, the Amasiti were hunted to the brink of extinction by the Hir and his followers. For four hundred years, their legacy faded from memory waiting for the hope of Aferi to be renewed…
In the Land of Yet
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest
A young woman lives alone.
Forced to fend for herself after the brutal murder of her family, Ameenah Yemini has made a life for herself as a master tanner and farmer, only venturing into the world to earn her living then return to the safety and seclusion of her home.
Until a chance encounter brings her work to the attention of the powerful Hir. And her careful life begins to unravel.
Drawn to the hidden magic that lingers in everything she touches, the new Hir insists on having her for himself, using the people around her to force Ameenah into his grasp.
When she realizes that her greatest enemy may hold the key to a secret she thought lost to her forever, Ameenah is determined to reclaim her stolen past. But, at what cost? As an ancient power waits to be unleashed, Ameenah’s choices will make the difference between awakening a new magic or delivering it into the hands of evil.

Celebrating the women who have inspired them throughout their lives, THE BOOK OF GUTSY WOMEN will feature portraits of more than 100 women, celebrating the histories that all too often get overlooked or are left unwritten.
The women featured in the book range from Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old climate activist whose Asperger’s syndrome has shaped her advocacy, to Sor Juan Inés de la Cruz, a 17th-century nun and poet whose outspoken views on women’s role in society scandalized audiences.
Other stories include: Mary Edwards Walker, a Civil War surgeon who was arrested more than once for wearing pants; Marie Curie and her daughter Irène, who worked side-by-side in their laboratory; Shirley Chisholm, who ran for president in 1972 and paved the way for generations of women in office; Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman to lead an African country; Manal al-Sharif, who captured the world’s attention in 2011 when she filmed herself driving a car in defiance of Saudi custom; Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, whose wry and wise observations about feminism have changed the conversation; Ellen DeGeneres, who broke barriers in media and entertainment while making audiences laugh; as well as heroines in the Secretary and Chelsea’s own circles of friends and family, and more.
Secretary Clinton said, “Each of these women has fought and won the kinds of victories that pave the way for progress for all of us. To us, they are all gutsy women—leaders with the courage to stand up to the status quo, ask hard questions, and get the job done. This book is a continuation of a conversation Chelsea and I have been having since she was a little girl, and we are excited to welcome others into that conversation.”
“The gutsy women in this book share a fierce optimism that their work and lives will make a difference in the world. And, they’re right,” said Chelsea Clinton. “We hope readers will draw strength from their stories as we have, because if history shows one thing, it’s that the world needs more gutsy women.”
“THE BOOK OF GUTSY WOMEN is an inspiring and entertaining account of some of the most phenomenal women in the world,” added Jonathan Karp, President & Publisher of Simon & Schuster. “Destined to be a classic in the tradition of Profiles in Courage, The Book of Virtues and We Should All Be Feminists, this groundbreaking celebration of gutsiness is a call to action – not just for women, but for all of us, especially now.”
Carolyn Reidy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Simon & Schuster, Inc. acquired world publishing rights in all formats of the book from attorney Robert B. Barnett of Williams & Connolly, who represents Secretary Clinton. Chelsea Clinton is represented by Tara Kole. The book will be published by the Simon & Schuster trade imprint and will be edited by Vice President & Executive Editor Priscilla Painton. The book will also be published by Simon & Schuster’s international companies in Australia, Canada, India and the United Kingdom, and as an audiobook read by the authors.
Secretary Clinton is the author of six previous books, all published by Simon & Schuster: IT TAKES A VILLAGE (1996); DEAR SOCKS, DEAR BUDDY: Kids’ Letters to the First Pets(1998); AN INVITATION TO THE WHITE HOUSE: At Home With History (2000); LIVING HISTORY (2003); HARD CHOICES (2014); and WHAT HAPPENED (2017). All of her memoirs have been instant #1 New York Times bestsellers.
Chelsea Clinton is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller SHE PERSISTED: 13 American Women Who Changed the World (2017); DON’T LET THEM DISAPPEAR: 12 Endangered Species Across the Globe (2019); SHE PERSISTED AROUND THE WORLD: 13 Women Who Changed History (2018); START NOW! You Can Make a Difference (2018); IT’S YOUR WORLD: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going! (2015); and, with Devi Sridhar, GOVERNING GLOBAL HEALTH: Who Runs the World and Why? (2017)

Penguin Random House and Kellogg’s Feeding Reading Partnership to Bring Books to Kids and Families Nationwide
Penguin Random House and Kellogg’s have launched the 2019 Feeding Reading program. To kick off the nationwide initiative, beloved New York Times bestselling authors Mary Pope Osborne and Vanessa Williams joined students from New York P.S. 130 at Kellogg’s NYC Café for a snack-time story hour. With Penguin Random House characters, corporate branding, and book covers to be featured on over 80,000,000 Kellogg’s breakfast and snack packages, this is by far the largest direct-to-consumer program Penguin Random House has ever executed.
The Kellogg’s Feeding Reading program offers anyone who buys a participating product to earn credits for a free Penguin Random House book. There are 125 titles across all reading levels, so children of all ages will be sure to find a book they’ll love. Redeemed books can also be donated to a school or library. Last year alone, over 400,000 books were distributed to kids and families across the country through the Feeding Reading program.
“Seeing the Feeding Reading program hit shelves is truly a career highlight for me, Jessica Fink and our whole team,” said Christine Dillon, VP & Director, Proprietary & Custom Premium Sales. “At Penguin Random House, we work every day to help kids become lifelong readers. We chose to work with Kellogg’s because we have long admired their shared commitment to helping kids thrive. With this partnership, two industry leaders are collaborating to promote childhood literacy and bring books to kids, schools, and libraries throughout the country. It doesn’t get more fulfilling than that.”
At the launch event, Mary Pope Osborne delighted students with the story of how the Magic Tree House series came to be and invited them to vote on ideas for the 61st Magic Tree House book. She then read aloud a chapter from HIGH TIDE IN HAWAII, part of the Magic Tree House series. “Reading is the most fun thing to do in the world,” said Mary, and shared that by using their imagination, the kids can join Jack and Annie on all their adventures.
To continue her longtime support of child literacy, several of Mary Pope Osborne’s Magic Tree House titles are included in the Feeding Reading program. Her award-winning Magic Tree House series is an international phenomenon that has sold over 143 million books worldwide since its debut in 1992, and has been translated into 34 languages in more than 100 countries.
Award-winning Singer, Actress, Fashion Designer, and Author Vanessa Williams joined the snack-time story hour and read from one of her favorite books, THE POKY LITTLE PUPPY. Vanessa talked with the kids about how reading opens so many worlds by kick-starting your imagination. Following the read aloud, Vanessa and Mary joined the students for a Q&A.

Edward Snowden’s memoir “Permanent Record” will be published globally by Macmillan Publishers on September 17, 2019. In the United States the memoir will be published by Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt; in the U.K. by Pan Macmillan; and in Germany by S. Fischer Verlag. The book was edited by Metropolitan Books under the leadership of Sara Bershtel, senior vice-president and publisher.
In 2013, Snowden, a former CIA agent and NSA contractor, shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the U.S. government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every phone call, text message, and email ever sent. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. In “Permanent Record,” he tells his story for the very first time, bringing the reader along as he helps to create this system of mass surveillance, and then experiences the crisis of conscience that led him to try to bring it down.
“Edward Snowden decided at the age of 29 to give up his entire future for the good of his country,” said John Sargent, CEO of Macmillan Publishers. “He displayed enormous courage in doing so, and like him or not, his is an incredible American story. There is no doubt that the world is a better and more private place for his actions. Macmillan is enormously proud to publish ‘Permanent Record.’”
To date, “Permanent Record” is being published in more than 20 countries. World rights for the book are being sold by Devon Mazzone, director, subsidiary rights for FSG, Holt and Metropolitan Books: devon.mazzone@fsgbooks.com.
A truly captivating tale and fascinating journey that describes how all of us can transform a life without direction into one full of passion, determination, drive and hard work. When Mark finds the ocean, marine biology, conservation and particularly sharks he is finally motivated, has purpose, a goal. But will a passion be enough to mask the pain and mistakes of the past and keep the demons at bay? Then in September 2017 hurricane Irma strikes and reaches beyond the day and to his very core. In an attempt to answer a question and to understand himself and the past he begins to write, but at what cost.
Seeking the advice of an Oracle the King and his brother hope to break a 100 year old curse before it ends in the death of the brother…..
“Know, O King, the Saturnalia is upon us. To break the curse, the sacred scroll must be returned by one who is of royal blood….”
Not finding the scroll, the curse remains, and the brother dies.
Present Day
Remi’s best friend from college, Dr. Renee LaBelle, is leading an archaeological dig in Bulla Regia, Tunisia that is funded by the Fargo Foundation.
Sam was studying the financials of that dig, when he found some discrepancies in the numbers. It seems like someone might be skimming money.
Not good.
Since Sam and Remi are heading to Nigeria (near the Gashaka Gumti National Park) to check on the progress of a Girl’s School they are building, they decided to swing by Tunisia to talk to Renee and her new site manager, Hank, to see if they can figure out the financial discrepancy.
A normal business trip for the Fargos.
NOT!
The road trip to Tunisia and Nigeria turns out to be a rousing danger-filled Clive Cussler adventure involving: An ancient curse, pickpockets, gunfights, murder, deceit, kidnapping, flash floods, the keeper of the ancient treasure maps and direct descendant of the oracle from 533 A.D., mystery, a treasure hunt, and a young girl, Nasha, who…….
……to find out what happens, you will have to read the book.
“The Oracle” is a fast, fun, action-packed adventure that is impossible to put down (even though you have to occasionally). The list of characters in the beginning of the book is invaluable as there is a LOT of stuff going on, and LOTS of people doing said stuff. And, yes, Cussler shows up to help Amal and Remi. So cool.
Actually, this was a normal Fargo business trip.
I LOVED it!
Hey, Robin…..I am ready for the next Fargo adventure.
There’s a killer on the loose in Galveston, targeting law enforcement officials and using a fatal injection of snake venom to take them down. Authorities have reasons to believe the Veneno gang is behind the hits, and FBI Agents Leah Riesel and Jon Colbert team up to track down those responsible. Their best lead is an eyewitness who identifies a young man dumping the third body on a church doorstep. But their suspect has gone into hiding, and those closest to him are reluctant to reveal anything that might help investigators find him.
As Leah and Jon check connections among the victims and dig deeper into motives, they discover appearances may be deceiving. Someone is desperate to keep their secrets hidden, and Leah and Jon must face their greatest fears in order to stop the next fatal strike.
Fatal Strike is recommended for fans of the following:
Romantic Suspense

FBI Crime Solving Novel
Clean Romance
A Look Inside FATAL STRIKE
SPECIAL AGENT LEAH RIESEL scanned the headlines on her phone. A prosecutor from Galveston had been found murdered behind a construction site, the second apparent victim of gang violence in two days. Both deaths were caused by rattlesnake venom injections to the heart. Before she could pull up additional reports on the woman’s untimely death, Leah’s phone rang.
“Riesel, hostage situation in Galveston,” the SWAT commander said. “Grab your gear. The chopper takes off in five.”
“On it.” She took a last lingering look at the half-eaten blue-berry donut and coffee on her cubicle’s desk.Could this have anything to do with the two murders in Galveston?
Before most of the city began the workday, Leah boarded a
Little Bird helicopter beneath whirling blades and the pressure of a critical operation. Dressed in full camo and shouldering her sniper gear, she inhaled the rising temps. Feverish Houston. With the familiar air transport sounds ushering in memories of past missions, her adrenaline kicked in.
A pilot from the tactical helicopter unit lifted the chopper into the air for the twenty-minute ride to Galveston. She recognized him from previous assignments involving aircraft used to deliver SWAT and the elite hostage rescue teams to crisis incidents. This morning her focus eliminated any chitchat.
Leah grabbed sound-canceling headphones and contacted the SWAT commander already on the ground. “Riesel here. Special Agent in Charge Thomas briefed me on a home invasion that’s turned violent.”
The SAC would be watching the operation at the Crisis Management Operations Center.
“Negotiations have gotten us nowhere.” The SWAT commander’s voice rose above the chopper’s blade-snap. “Two unidentified men are holding two women and three children at gunpoint. Galveston PD estimates they’ve been inside the home for at least an hour. Demanding we leave the area after giving them five hundred grand and a gassed-up speedboat. Clock is ticking with forty minutes max. We’ve backed off as far as they know.”
Leah swiped through pics taken with telephoto lenses and sent to her phone. Each ski-masked man held a child as a shield. Leah detested the savagery and the horrific emotions the hostages must be feeling.
“We’re located on San Luis Pass Road on the western section of the island. Nearest house is five hundred yards away. Owners are in Europe. We’re in contact with the agency managing it.”
She didn’t need a key to access the home.
The SWAT commander continued. “One of the hostages is the owner of the home, Amanda Barton.”
“Is there a Mr. Barton in the picture?”
“Divorced. Lives in California.” Unlikely the ex-husband was behind this.“Agent Jon Colbert will be on scene shortly,” the commander said. “He had a deposition early this morning in Texas City and drove on to Galveston. Over the weekend, his SWAT partner had emergency knee surgery. Out for six weeks.”
And Leah’s partner had left the city yesterday on vacation. The luck of the draw meant she and Jon would be working together. “I’ll contact you as soon as we land.”
Jon Colbert, a sniper who had excellent marksmanship and a stellar reputation, also worked organized crime. But she and Jon had never worked together. The idea of teaming up with an agent she barely knew made her uneasy. If a sniper mission required a partner, she preferred an established relationship where she would know how the person processed information.
Shoving aside her doubts, she narrowed her thoughts on what lay ahead. The precarious situation and local law enforcement’s inability to negotiate added up to why she and Jon had been assigned to the case.
She grasped her backpack, lighter than usual with only a spotting scope, ammo, water, communication equipment, extra batteries, granola bar, and a handheld radio. Her Glock, as comfortable in her right hand as a toothbrush, found its spot in her back waistband. She touched her H-S Precision heavy tactical rifle.
The sooner she got to Galveston, the sooner she could pro-vide intelligence and help neutralize the circumstances. Her priority was seeing the women and children freed from these ruthless men.
###
Jon received a text from Special Agent in Charge Thomas that Leah Riesel had left the Houston FBI office and was en route to Galveston. He’d met her a few times, and they’d qualified together. Attractive woman—dark-brown hair, light-olive skin, New Yorker with the accent to prove it. Her professionalism in the violent crime division wavered between exceptional and extraordinary. A touch of toughness. Jon had heard not to make her mad—she had earned the nickname Panther for a reason. He remembered her stats—number three in the US for distance shots. Good thing he wasn’t easily intimidated.
Once the chopper landed, Leah would be transported in an unmarked car to a vacant house more than a quarter of a mile away from the Barton home. No point in making the two men more trigger-happy when they’d warned law enforcement to back off.
The SWAT commander spoke through Jon’s radio attached to his collar. “Thermal imaging confirms four adults and three children inside the Barton home. The men claim they’ll kill the children first. We have fifteen minutes.”
In Galveston, Jon stopped at Broadway and Sixty-First Street. Tourists persisted in the middle of the thoroughfare, pushing strollers, riding surrey bikes, and enjoying the day. Some were dressed for the beach and others clutched what they needed for their excursion. All hindered his turn. Obstacles in his mission. If they knew the situation not far from them, they’d grab their loved ones and speed home.
Each moment delayed his shot and shoved the hostages closer to death. A chilling composure took over his emotional, mental, and physical reactions.
The busy street finally cleared. Jon turned west onto Seawall Boulevard and drove on to San Luis Pass Road. The hostage site was four and a half miles beyond there.Were the two men inside the Barton home wannabes looking to make a name for themselves? Strung out on drugs? Was this a personal vendetta? No matter how this ended—either a surrender or he’d be instructed to take a shot—their moment in history would likely be the lead story on tonight’s news.
His phone alerted him to an incoming call. He responded before the first ring ended. “Colbert.” The chopper’s rhythmic whir reverberated through his phone.
“Riesel here. Landing in five at Galveston Island State Park. SWAT commander has given me a location on the west side of the Barton home.”
“I’ll be on foot by then. Taking a position on the east, beach side.”
“I’ll need seven minutes to get into place,” she said.
“Okay.” No need to remind her of the ticking clock.
He touched End and whipped his truck onto a beach-access road where police officers had instructed residents to shelter in place. He switched off the engine. Grabbing his gear, he bolted down the beach. A Galveston police officer stopped him, and Jon handed him his ID. Seconds later, he moved toward his site. A sultry breeze blew across the water, and he recalculated his shot.
Crouching low, he moved past police SWAT standing guard. FBI SWAT held the position Riesel was headed for. They were racing against time, a commodity that stopped for nothing or no one. At any moment, one of the armed men could pull the trigger on those inside the Barton home.
Restraint.
Control.
Tense muscles relaxed.
His heartbeat slowed.
A clear head laid out the steps before the kill shot.
No mistakes.
Precision.
Accuracy.
A chance for the women and children to live another day.
Near a sand dune, he tuned out the occasional seagull and the waves rushing against the shore. After wiping the sweat from his hands on his pants, Jon set up his rifle and scope, activated his radio, and spoke to the SWAT commander and Leah Riesel.

What Makes a Woman a Strong Heroine? by Author DiAnn Mills
As a writer, the importance of a strong heroine is vital to the success of any book. No one enjoys a wimpy and weak woman—not in movies, stories or real life. Establishing strong female characteristics takes think-time, and they may not be what you expect.
It’s not her age.
It’s not her career.
It’s not brains or beauty.
It’s not her social status.
It’s not an ivy-league education.
It’s not her ability as a crack shot or a master of self-defense.
I believe the following traits are vital for a woman to be a strong heroine. These are qualities I aspire to and maybe you women will too.
A strong woman is not a victim. She may have been involved in a vulnerable situation in the past, but she acquired the tools to change and grew into a stronger person. The signs of victimized women are etched in a strong woman’s heart and mind, and she is determined to help others take positive steps to improve their lives.
A strong woman approaches evil with either a flight or flee attitude and encourages others to evaluate all situations. She finds strength in her faith.
A strong woman doesn’t need a man to rescue her. She’s self-sufficient and resourceful.
A strong woman thinks more highly of others than herself. Her journey to become a better woman comes from an unselfish heart. She chases all signs of greed from her mind and heart.
A strong woman takes time for herself. Balance is key for living to her full potential. She practices self-nurturing before being of value to the rest of the world.
A strong woman is proud of her femininity. She doesn’t deny her identity.
A strong woman loves freely without demands. Love is an action verb and a mark of true strength. She practices showing love to those who are termed unlovable, an enemy, a family or friend who has hurt her.
A strong woman sets healthy boundaries based on love.A strong woman is in control of her emotions and deals with her psychological issues. In short, if a woman believes she needs help, she seeks wise counsel. Stuffing a mental hurt is asking for an ulcer . . . or worse.
A strong woman is health-conscious. The saying is true: “We are what we eat.” She commits to eating nutritionally sound meals and exercising regularly.
A strong woman has a sense of humor. She’s not opposed to laughing at herself or the world.
A strong woman is always learning. No matter her age, she believes continuous knowledge keeps her alive, healthy, in tune with the world, and purposeful.
A strong woman understands listening before speaking promotes wisdom. It’s easy to interrupt and give advice. A wise woman allows the speaker to vent and chooses her words graciously.
A strong woman possesses a tight grip on tenacity to solve a problem or reach a goal. She’s determined to succeed.
Strong women are all over the world. We can find her in every profession and often carrying the responsibilities of more than one person.
What do you feel is a characteristic of a strong woman?
