Spirit Bear Conspiracy
Brotherhood of the Wild #1
by Anne Kane
Genre: MC Romantic Suspense
My mission: Save my woman, guard the secret of the rare
spirit bear, and take down the poachers.
Ryland — I was tailing a gang of poachers, certain they’d
lead me straight to their kingpin, when a stray arrow from a crossbow slammed
into me. Pain lanced through me and everything faded to black. In that blur of
unconsciousness, I could have sworn a pure white bear stood over me, calm as
can be. When I opened my eyes again, a woman — curvy and impossibly beautiful
— was watching me with the cutest look of mixed concern and distrust on her
face.
Kimberly — I thought I was alone on a tiny island off the
coast of British Columbia until an arrow from a crossbow barely missed
skewering me. With my dog Diego at my heels, I ran to hide in a maze of caves,
my heart pounding. Crouched down in the dark, I listened in terror as voices
and footsteps floated to me from outside. I prayed the shooters wouldn’t find
the spirit bear that inhabited this place. When I finally crept back out into
the daylight, I found I wasn’t the only target — but the unconscious man lying
in a pool of his own blood wasn’t talking. Victim or one of them?
WARNING: This Riptide action-adventure romance includes
violence, abuse, coarse language, vigilante justice, and adult situations. No
cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Enjoy!
What readers
are saying:
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆5 out of 5 stars.
Diego Rules Poachers Drool !
Loved the start of The Brotherhood series !! It has loose
ties to the Author’s other series called Riptide MC ! The characters Kimberly
and Ryland are well written and a lot of fun to read. The storyline has real
world implications in the animal poaching and for animals living in shelters,
so please be careful if such stories cause you any emotional distress. The book
has a lot of action both in and out of the “bedroom”. I can’t wait to read book

Spirit
Bears
Spirit bears (aka Kermode bears — Ursus americanus
kermodei) are a subspecies of the North American black bear with a rare
recessive gene that makes their fur white or cream. Spirit bears are found only
in the Great Bear Rainforest, the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest.
Estimated spirit bear population numbers no more than 400 individuals. The
First Nations communities who have lived in the region for thousands of years
call the spirit bear moskgm’ol, or “white bear,” and view the animal as
sacred.
Many thanks to BBC Wildlife for their Spirit
Bear Guide.
Kimberly
I heard sounds to my left, louder this time. Definitely
voices.
Well, that sucked. After a stressful week at work, the last
thing I wanted to do was talk to strangers. Still, protocol demanded that I
make my presence known for safety’s sake. No point in having some trigger-happy
guide catch a glimpse of movement and decide I was something worth shooting at.
I stopped walking and cupped my hands to my mouth. “Hello?”
Total silence answered me. Even the birds stopped chirping.
Not a single blade of grass rustled.
Maybe the dumb tourists had gone off in another direction
and didn’t hear me. Sound could become muffled in the heavily treed rainforest
environment. My heart lifted as I considered the possibility.
Maybe my day wasn’t ruined after all.
Diego came dashing back to my side, head held high and ears
tilted forward in that oddly off-balance way he had when he concentrated. I
frowned. The dog obviously heard or saw something that he felt needed watching.
I opened my mouth to holler again, when something swished past my head so fast
all I saw was a blur. A loud thunk told me the object had hit one of the
trees behind me.
I turned and blinked, unable at first to grasp the
significance of what I was looking at.
An arrow, the kind used for hunting bigger game such as deer
or moose, was imbedded in one of the ancient trees. The plastic vanes on the
end of the shaft quivered with the force of the impact.
Someone had taken a shot at me. Seriously? There was no way
they could have mistaken my shouted greeting for an animal.
Diego whined softly, nudging my hand with his muzzle. I
patted his head absently, still mesmerized by the sight of the arrow rooted in
the tree.
Diego stiffened, whirling to face the direction the arrow
had come from. A low growl came from his throat.
A shiver slid down my spine. Diego didn’t growl. Not at
anybody. He was the mellowest dog on the face of the planet. If he thought
whoever shot that arrow warranted a growl, then they must be bad. Real bad.

All The Shadows We Become
When the shadows come alive, Ava and Caleb discover the only
safe place is in each other’s arms.
But the closer they get, the darker the
truth becomes.
All the Shadows We
Become
by Dustin Blackwall
Genre: YA Romantasy Thriller
Caleb Ward is trying to forget the night he almost died.
Ava Lin is trying to understand why he survived.
But Hollow Creek isn’t letting either of them move on.
What starts as a strange blackout spirals into a trail of
eerie clues, shifting shadows, and a connection between Ava and Caleb that
grows hotter and more undeniable with every new secret uncovered.
Something happened
that night.
Something dangerous.
And it’s waking up.
The lights exploded into darkness so fast
it felt like the whole world had been switched off. One second, the fairgrounds
pulsed with noise; the next, a hush dropped over everything – thick, heavy,
wrong. Ava’s breath caught in her throat as the shadows around the tents
stretched, bending in directions that didn’t match the lanterns flickering
overhead.
fingers in the dark. His grip closed around hers immediately – warm, tight,
desperate – anchoring her like a lifeline.
Static rolled through the air, not sound
but pressure, brushing across her skin like cold fingertips. The wind
picked up and carried the faint smell of scorched leaves and metal. Somewhere
behind them, a ride creaked slowly, even though nothing was moving it.
the heat of his chest at her shoulder.
– a ripple of shadow that stole her breath. But Caleb was already there,
guiding her back against him, solid and unwavering.
that moment, she felt it with aching clarity: as long as he held her, she could
face anything.
All around them, people shouted – fragmented
cries swallowed by the dark. A string of carnival lights fizzled overhead,
sputtering blue sparks that made the shadows jump like living ink.
anymore.
Caleb turned, pulling her with him, and in
that split-second flash of dying light, she saw his face – terrified,
determined, and somehow still looking at her like she was the one thing in this
chaos he trusted.
The ground trembled.
The shadows bent again.
And together, hand in hand, they ran toward
whatever waited in the dark.
Light Years to
Midnight
by Dustin Blackwall
Genre: SciFi Thriller
When data itself begins to speak, who decides what it’s
trying to say?
Light Years To Midnight — a globe-spanning thriller where science, faith, and
code collide in a race against a countdown written into the fabric of reality.
The wind whipped dust across the plateau as Jonas crested
the ridge, breath burning in his throat. Below him, the satellite dishes of the
abandoned relay station stretched into the dark like a field of frozen giants.
Their metal frames groaned under the rising storm, each bent toward the same
invisible point on the horizon.
He wasn’t alone.
A faint beam of light—too controlled to be an
accident—flickered between the dishes. Jonas crouched, heart thudding, watching
as a woman stepped into view, her silhouette sharp against the skeletal
machinery. She moved with the alertness of someone who had been running for far
too long.
Elena.
He had seen her face in files, in encrypted packets, in the
warnings that had chased him across continents. But seeing her here, in the
flesh, felt unreal—like walking into a photograph he wasn’t meant to
understand.
Before he could speak, a second figure emerged from the
opposite end of the array. Maya paused only when she spotted Elena, recognition
flaring across her face. They had never met, not really, but the anomaly had
braided their paths tightly enough that the moment felt inevitable.
Jonas stood and lifted a hand, but movement in the distance
froze him mid-step.
Engines.
Low, tactical, deliberate.
A convoy approached from the north, its headlights dark, its
tires crunching through gravel like muffled gunfire. Special
operations—unmarked, unhurried, confident. Not hunters, but collectors.
Maya stepped closer, her breath sharp in the cold air. “Does
it matter?”
Something pulsed beneath the earth—three beats, a pause,
three more—vibrating up through the metal frames of the dishes. The sky above
them shimmered, faint but unmistakable, as if answering the rhythm.
Jonas swallowed hard.
“No,” he said. “It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s already
found us.”
Dustin is a lifelong fan of science and speculative fiction,
blending his fascination with astronomy, technology, and the unknown into
stories that explore the edge between logic and wonder. When he’s not writing,
he’s reading, stargazing, or chasing trails on his dirt bike — always searching
for what lies just beyond understanding.

Surrendering To You
His betrayal cost him the only woman he has ever loved.
Now, he’s determined to win her back.
Surrendering To You
Priestly Family Series Book 3
by Sharon C. Cooper
Genre: Contemporary Romance
His betrayal cost him the only woman he has ever loved.
Now, he’s determined to win her back.
On the football field Tristan Whitmore might be an MVP, but
after a recent career-ending injury, his world is flipped upside down. He takes
little comfort in his many NFL achievements and a bank account bulging with
more money than he could ever spend. His life feels like it’s over… until he
reconnects with the one woman he’s never forgotten. Too bad she hates him.
Entertainment lawyer, Cree Priestly is not the forgiving
type. Betray her once, and you’re dead to her. Which is why Tristan will never
get a second chance with her. She lost too much the last time he charmed her
into falling in love with him. Letting that happen again would make her a fool.
But when he kisses her, all the buried memories of love, desire, and passionate
nights come rushing back.
But can Cree afford to surrender her heart to Tristan again?
Or are some betrayals impossible to move past?

“Oh boy. Don’t look now, but your—”
“He’s not my anything,” Cree ground out. “And I think this is a good time to end our
visit. I need to get going anyway. We can talk about Dorian’s wedding later.”
“Cree, stop. Just talk to him. It’s been years, and you both deserve some closure.”
“I got closure when I told him to lose my damn telephone number and to go to hell.”
Cree knew she was being a jerk, but Tristan was still a sore topic with her. Seeing him
again brought back too many memories, and they weren’t all good.
She gathered her large bag, which doubled as a purse and laptop carrier, and then
she grabbed her trash.
“I’m out of here,” she said and blew her sister a kiss before walking away.
If Cree was lucky, she might be able to slip past Tristan without him seeing her. He’d
been forced to retire from the NFL, the National Football League, after an
injury, and she’d heard he had moved back to Chicago.
God, she hoped that wasn’t true. They probably traveled in the same circles, and that
would mean there was a good chance she’d run into him more than she’d prefer.
Taking advantage of the crowd that surrounded him, Cree moved around the perimeter of
the space and kept her head down while making her way to the door. She had
barely touched the handle before she jolted from the feel of a large hand on
her hip.
She froze, but not before a zap of energy flowed through her body at his touch. She knew
that touch. Hell, she’d feel that touch even if she had on three layers of
clothing. Tristan had always had that effect on her.
“Cree, wait. We need to talk,” he said by way of greeting. His deep baritone sent goosebumps racing over her skin. She didn’t want to talk, and she sure as hell didn’t want to look at him, but she had to.
When she turned to face him, anger nipped at every nerve in her body. Damn him for
looking so good. He was still the finest man on the face of the planet with
honey-brown skin, eyes the color of almonds with flecks of gold around his
irises, and twin dimples in his cheeks.
As if knowing she was admiring his beautiful face, he amped up his smile, and she
cursed under her breath.
Damn those twin dimples. The ones deep enough in his cheeks to stick her fingers in. And
damn him for flashing them so freely in public knowing they were babe magnets.
“We have nothing to talk about,” she spat, anger lacing the words.
“On the contrary, baby. We have a lot to discuss.”
Cree turned from him and moved just beyond the threshold, but he held on to the back
of her jacket while he stood in the doorway. He didn’t seem to care he was
blocking the entrance, keeping anyone from entering or exiting. The small crowd
that had formed around him minutes ago was still there, vying for the attention
of the other former NFL player whose name had slipped her mind.
As for Tristan, Cree didn’t want to talk to him. That would only encourage him to keep
showing up everywhere she went.
No, she needed to stay as far away from the man as possible. His presence was a
hindrance to her peace of mind. It was because of him that she had trust
issues, especially when it came to men. He was the reason she had taken on the
motto—don’t let anyone get too close because in the end they’ll only betray
you.
“The old Cree didn’t run from anything,” he said, his voice lowered. “Yet, you’ve run
from me twice in a matter of weeks.”
Her jaw clenched and unclenched. “The old Cree would’ve already kneed you in the balls
to make you release my jacket. Either let me go or…”
Tristan flinched, then quickly released her jacket and chuckled. “I see you’re still
mean as hell.” The words weren’t spoken in a negative way. There was humor in
his tone and in his eyes. “Please,” he said, all humor wiped from his face. “I
really do need to talk to you.”
Cree searched his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. She almost gave in to his
request until she remembered—she hated him.
“There’s nothing for us to discuss. As a matter of fact, forget you ever saw me, and if
you see me out and about, don’t even look at me.
“And on that note, goodbye, Tristan.”
Now all she had to do was forget she’d ever seen him. Which might be easier said than
done.

THE RADICAL REALISM OF JESUS
This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Jeyran Main will be awarding a $10 Amazon/BN gift card to a randomly drawn winner. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.
The Radical Realism of Jesus explores how Christ’s life and teachings confront the assumptions of our modern world. From rationalism and empiricism to pragmatism and nihilism, Jesus’ words intersect with philosophy, science, and contemporary culture—offering a lived, transformative faith that challenges, inspires, and equips readers to live fully in the 21st century.
Read an Excerpt
From the beginning, Jesus has consistently defied human expectations. He clashed with religious authorities, challenged societal norms, and even surprised his own disciples. Faith, as Kierkegaard emphasized, is a tension-filled encounter with the unpredictable claim of God. Jesus does not allow us to tame Him with neat definitions; He is the living Word who confronts our assumptions and stretches our understanding of God and the world.
In a modern age defined by scientific revolutions, technological advancements, and rationalist philosophies, many of us search for certainty, meaning, and moral guidance. Yet, the Gospel remains disruptive. Jesus is not an abstract ideal; He is historical, embodied, and relational. He experienced hunger, fatigue, betrayal, and hope. He engaged life fully, showing that realism and spiritual depth are not mutually exclusive. Even in a world governed by measurement, reason, and empiricism, Jesus challenges us to consider ethics, purpose, and human flourishing in ways that transcend material explanation.
This book examines Jesus within contemporary frameworks of thought—from Rationalism and Empiricism to Pragmatism and Scientism—showing that His life and teachings remain radically relevant. The Kingdom of God is not abstract; it demands reflection, engagement, and action. Jesus remains aspirational and transformative, inviting each reader to wrestle with faith, reason, and the meaning of life in a modern context.

Such a great little holiday read. It has a little bit of everything in it. Some

Q & A With Intensia
Tell us about you as a person.
I am a highly sensitive human, a nature-loving, plant-based empath who writes heartfelt, cinematic pop songs that feel like after a meaningful conversation with a good friend. Singing to connect, inspire, unite, and entertain. And even though I love sound and music as my vocation, I believe that silence is not a sign of insecurity, stagnation, blockage, or inconsideration. It is something to treasure and appreciate instead. Silence is confidence, regeneration, respect, and clarity.
If you could hang out with one famous person for one day, who would it be and why?
Why would I want to do that? I’d rather spend the day with someone I love.
What’s the story behind your latest book?
“Words to Think. Or to Sing.” is a collection of lyric excerpts from my pop songs in progress. I curated it to introduce myself and invite the deep feelers, the intense ones, the passionate thinkers, the curious minds, the heartfelt souls, the kindred spirits who read every line carefully and let it become a part of them. The lovely, sensitive people who think they are too much, feel too much, muse too much. It is a special, shared poetic pop music unfolding journey. Because there is magic in the becoming. No behind-the-scenes or throwback content could ever replace this kind of experience. United in intensity!
What advice do you have for other writers who want to get the word out about their latest book?
There is a lot of noise out there. Be clear about your vision, give your community reasons to stay beside some well written words.
List 5 things on your bucket list.
Bucket list sounds to me like a countdown to fulfill before we change dimension, so I have a to-do one for goals instead. It’s filled with things I would like to do one day, such as singing out loud with my community their favorite songs of mine, creating a tasty and easy plant-based recipe to share with someone who has never tried such food, writing an anthem for my lovely fans, preparing a simple yet immersive, impactful and environmentally friendly concept for my live sessions and concerts, being the voice of a character that resonates with me in an animated movie, or maybe even writing the main track for it.
Any final thoughts?
I guess final thoughts don’t really exist. Because every time a piece of art, especially lyrics or songs in my case, makes someone feel something or supports them, it resonates further. So they might never be final. Thank you so much for having me. I hope you will enjoy this multifaceted, award-winning publication and that you will stay to witness the creative, developing adventure.
