S.H.S.
Publication date: September 1st 2025
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Young Adult

In the snowy heartlands of Izumo, Japan, Leaf Brodie seeks answers. What begins as a path of discipline and inner reflection under the watchful eye of Master Kenji becomes a deeper journey-one where ancient secrets lie hidden in the folds of tradition and trust can shatter with a single lie.

As Leaf explores sacred shrines and timeless landscapes, a betrayal from within rocks his world. Yuji, once a friend and fellow student, is exposed as a spy for the powerful Reblick syndicate. The destruction he leaves behind is devastating-but the artifact he steals, a sacred belt buckle, is missing one thing: the next clue.

That clue isn’t written on paper or etched in stone-it’s been burned into human skin. On Master Kenji’s back is a mysterious script, unknown even to him, and unlike anything Leaf or Selina have seen before. What they uncover is not just a lost language-it’s a gateway to the forgotten land of Xonarye.

Blending action, cultural discovery, betrayal, and ancient myth, Xonarye: Japan is a powerful continuation of the global adventure.

Bellamy

I watched my parents' marriage crumble when my father chose football over family. His love for the game destroyed us. It’s why I loathe it. It’s also why I don’t trust easily.

So when I meet a handsome stranger at a hotel bar, we trade nothing but first names. I’m miles from home and I’ll never see him again.

Until I do. At a family event with my dad, he’s there—my mystery man from weeks ago. Only now, I know who he is: a football player on my father’s team. Which means I need to forget him… and his tight end.

Reid

The night I meet the dark-haired beauty at the bar, everything changes. We talk, laugh, and our connection is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. The next morning, she’s gone, leaving me with only her name.

I think I’ve lost her, until she walks into my stadium, standing right beside my coach. Fate hands me a second chance, and I’m not letting it slip.

To her, I’m just another football player. But I’ll prove to her that I’m not her father… I’m my own man. And my dream girl, she was meant to be mine.

(Izzie Di Sante Mysteries, #6)
Publication date: September 22nd 2025
Genres: Adult, Cozy Mystery

A dark cloud hangs over baseball season in small town Rosedale when star pitcher Randy Kampton is taken out of the game for good.

The DA is determined to pin the crime on Cole Rigley, a friend’s brother and fellow pitcher, citing the fierce competition for a major league trade as his motive for murder. Rigley’s brother, asks Henry and reluctant restaurant owner Izzie Di Sante to help prove his innocence. Adding fuel to the fire, Kampton stole Rigley’s girlfriend months earlier.

While Kampton’s pitching skills are universally acknowledged, no one, not fans or teammates, has a kind word to say about him, making for a long list of suspects. Rigley, on the other hand, is respected for his talent and team spirit. The wild card is another pitcher recovering from a car accident, whose open roster spot has all three men vying for the same prize.

In Rosedale, loyalty to the minor league team runs deep, and Izzie’s digging into the players’ pasts draws resentment from fans, police, and management alike. When the team’s PR person is targeted after meeting with her, the threats become all too real. The closer Izzie gets to uncovering the truth, on and off the field, the higher the stakes, and the more dangerous the game becomes.

#BookTour: Class War Then & Now by @ChrisCWright1 @RABTBookTours

Political Nonfiction

For nearly fifty years, America’s working and middle classes have been under relentless attack. Wages have stagnated, inequality has soared, and the vast majority now lives paycheck to paycheck—while trillions of dollars flow upward into the pockets of the wealthiest few. Class War, Then and Now is both a searing indictment of this economic and political order and an impassioned call to arms for a new left rooted in class struggle, solidarity, and socialist values.

Drawing on a decade of essays and articles originally published in outlets such as Dissent, New Politics, CounterPunch, Socialist Forum, Truthout, and Common Dreams, historian Chris Wright examines the deep roots of capitalism’s crises and the failures of the contemporary left to confront them. In sharp, accessible prose, Wright tackles:

The centrality of class struggle in building a movement that can unite working people

Why identity politics, while important, must not overshadow the fight against capitalism

The overlooked necessity of nuclear power in addressing climate change

Lessons from labor history, from Jimmy Hoffa to modern union battles

The catastrophic consequences of American imperialism and endless war

How organized labor remains humanity’s most universal force for justice

With the urgency of a manifesto and the depth of historical scholarship, Wright argues that only a rational, international, and truly Marxist left can stop the United States—and the world—from sliding into neofascism and ecological collapse.

If you care about economic justice, social reform, and the future of democracy, Class War, Then and Now will challenge your thinking, sharpen your arguments, and inspire action.
