“I won’t allow that bastard to ruin the family’s reputation,” promised the late Henry Molnar’s widow. On his deathbed when remorse had overcome his discretion, Molnar directed that the biggest secret of his life, the existence of an illegitimate son, be exposed at his funeral. The surprise revelation ended more than 26 years of innocence and propelled those closest to him towards paths of deceit, corruption, and blackmail. No one would be spared. Not even with the unexpected ending.

I get paid to erase problems.
Did your extramarital affair produce an unwanted complication? Family problems? Just want to enjoy your midlife crisis by yourself?
That's where I come in. For a fee I'll take care of it. A big fee.
Only, I'm not going to do what you think. I'm not going to save you from them, I’m going to save them from you.
The boys are back and Charlie's wife joins in a battle with one of Charlie's old nemeses--the Ant People. Just when things are looking bleak, Charlie's partner, Jobie, shows up with hopes of saving the day to battle the elements as well as new technologies.
David’s rise to the throne has transformed Israel into a regional superpower, but the famous shepherd-king is still searching for the missing remnant of Saul’s house he promised to save—Jonathan’s son.
Thirteen-year-old Mephi only has a signet ring to remember the days his family ruled Israel. Crippled eight years ago while escaping his father’s murderers, Mephi has learned fear and distrust under an abusive guardian who plans to profit from his royal blood.
After barely escaping death at the hands of raiders determined to wipe out Saul’s descendants, Mephi escapes to the home of his grandfather’s old physician. But King David’s inexplicable summons forces him to confront the life he thought he’d never have.
Caught between Jonathan’s faithful legacy and the demons Saul left behind, Mephi fights to believe that David will be strong enough to save them both from the looming prophecy of violence at their doors. When a devastating betrayal threatens his bond with the king, Mephi must decide once and for all if he has truly made peace with the past.
Jubilee Lipsey’s passion for writing began with a childhood love of the Bible, and expanded into a lifelong obsession with the authentic lives behind the scriptural stories that form the foundations of her Christian faith. An avid reader, storyteller, and closet-actor, Jubilee earned her BA in English from Catawba College in 2013 and has continued to write in her spare time since then, living out her penchant for drama on the page rather than the stage. Her dream in writing is to share breakthroughs, igniting the faith of readers hoping to experience God in their everyday lives. The transplanted North Carolinian has traded the sunny southern mountains for the Great Lakes and currently lives in Kenosha, WI with her husband, Tim, and their rambunctious fur-boys, Arlo and Linus.
A man and woman meet.
They talk.
They talk a little longer.
They share an experience -- perhaps an adventure.
Every great romance tells of the events that conspire to bring a man and woman together for the first time -- and forever. And when it finally happens, it's the delicious magic that embraces their whole story.
But sometimes, you want to skip the meal, pop a bonbon in your mouth, and get that great feeling right away. Maybe you're not in the mood to commit to a full-length novel to experience that special moment.
In IT STARTED LIKE THIS, you've found a half-dozen stories that don't mess around. Each distills to its essence the drama and comedy of that first -- sometimes unexpected -- encounter when the world begins to change for a man and a woman:
-- THE POODLE AND THE PUG: Man's best friends introduce a society lady and a career tough guy.
-- THE MOM AND THE MAN: A teenager connives to get her single mom to investigate their intriguing new neighbor.
-- THE PLEDGE AND THE PI: A shy fraternity pledge takes an upperclass sorority sister on an impromptu adventure of a lifetime.
-- THE DONOR AND THE DATE: A woman doesn't want a date -- until she has the date she didn't want.
-- THE GENIUS AND THE GYMSTAR: A love-struck computer jock plots an unlikely course to meet his unsuspecting crush.
-- THE SINGER AND THE STEW: A quiet man solves a flight attendant's noisy problem.
Couples meeting, talking, falling, with an unexpected escapade along the way. Encounters between smart and savvy lovers-to-be that put you right in the middle of that awkward first dance, a man and a woman not knowing quite where to put their feet but holding on anyway.
These are stories of beginnings. You won't want them to end.

A new Christmas classic --
It is the greatest story.
It is the greatest love.
It is the greatest night.
It is THE GREATEST NOEL.
In this novella, RAVEN EASTON has vividly reimagined the day and night of the birth of Jesus Christ. The events unfold through the story of Sandar the Builder, a prominent citizen of Nazareth, who yearns for a destiny that frees him from the hard brown land of Israel. Yet while Sandar dreams of release from the shackles of the world, he is also drawn to seek a lifelong love like any other man.
His journey to Jerusalem takes a dramatic turn when he must protect a poor couple he encounters on the road. They insist that they must reach Bethlehem that very night, before the woman -- an enigmatic and strangely wise girl named Mary -- gives birth to her first child.
THE GREATEST NOEL tells the whirlwind story of that first Christmas:
You will be greeting all the familiar Christmas characters, not as barely-sketched figures on a greeting card, but as fully-human actors caught up in a dramatic storm of miracles swirling around the birth of the Christ child.
You will be rooting for Sandar in his pursuit of the difficult but brilliant and beautiful Susannah.
You will relive the terror and triumph of Jesus's first hours among us.
You will be looking over Sandar's shoulder as his encounter with the infant Jesus opens his road to victory over the bonds of the earth and his embrace of an unexpected and glorious destiny.
And you will not be ready for the surprise RAVEN EASTON has in store for you as THE GREATEST NOEL reaches its miraculous conclusion.
The entire Christmas story is here, as you have always loved it in Matthew and Luke. But you have never heard it told with the warmth, excitement, and humanity of THE GREATEST NOEL.

When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."

On the morning of 9/11, Benjamin Renner, late for his appointment with the client firm in the Twin Towers, commits to the unthinkable: let the world…his wife, his family, his colleagues…believe he perished in the horror of the morning. A phrase from childhood echoes: do-over, and its adult equivalent, reboot. Can he pull off such a deception? Help comes in the form of an older woman to whom he confesses his plan and who assists him for reasons she refuses to reveal.
Renner, now Jim Tanner, begins a fifteen-year odyssey, constantly on guard, crisscrossing the country on buses, never remaining in one place long enough for people to grow close to him. Coping with the challenge of maintaining an untethered life fosters guilt, paranoia, and loneliness. Living while looking over his shoulder taxes his determination, but he maintains the façade. He labors as a transient worker from the Pacific Northwest to Key West, accepting an existence disparate to his middle-class upbringing. During his travels, he writes journal entries, letters to his wife, to his family, which he never intends to send, as well as introspective letters to Eve, the woman whose beneficence enabled escape from his previous life. She saves each envelope in a trunk in her Brooklyn home.
He worries that his remains from the collapse of the Towers have never been located, but hundreds of victims remain unidentified.
His wife collects millions in 9/11 survivor benefits, remarries, and finally has children. They quarreled about wanting children. He wasn’t opposed to fatherhood, he simply didn’t want children with her.
His brother names a son after Benjamin. The depth of his parents’ grief remains a mystery, about which he can only speculate. When he worked as a management consultant, Renner embraced planning as a skill, as the essence of his nature. But Tanner enjoys no such luxury. Planning beyond the next day endangers his identity. This internal battle defines his new life.
Soon he discovers the accuracy of the adage: that people need people, that he is no exception. He forms tentative friendships, takes on lovers, the need for intimacy tugging at him, but severs every attachment when the urge to confess his transgression becomes too powerful.
At times he sits quietly, contemplating how in this new life, nicety and necessity conflict.
As the 15th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Tanner visits Eve, whose health has declined, and while caring for his benefactor, questions whether he can or has ever separated himself from Renner.
