      <image:title>Beyond This World - Beyond This World…</image:title>
      <image:caption>What do you do when you lose everything—your husband, your country, and your dream? When survival itself feels impossible, perhaps the answer lies in forging an unbreakable bond. In war-torn Italy of 1944, Nina Caruso embarks on a desperate mission to rescue her husband, Paulo, from a Nazi labor camp. Forced into an uneasy alliance with a Carthusian monk, Vincenzo Spinelli, she navigates a treacherous landscape where the lines between allies and enemies blur. Who can they trust—the crumbling Fascist regime or the unpredictable Partisan leadership? As their mission unfolds, Nina and Vincenzo’s growing admiration for one another challenges their faith, their convictions, and the life-and-death choices they must make.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Martellino Series - The Walls of Lucca…</image:title>
      <image:caption>When Franco, a weary Italian soldier who’s seen some of the worst of World War I, stumbles onto the Martellino vineyard, he’s looking for work — not love. But he finds that and much more with Isabella, the feisty young woman who works there. Franco pours himself into the vineyard, trying to create a wine that will save it from financial ruin and rescue him from his dark memories of war. But it’s not easy when Mussolini's evil shadow continues to loom over all of Italy. It’s even harder when Susanna, the vineyard’s matriarch, invites that shadow to the vineyard with her involvement in Fascist politics — and one very sinister political operative. Influenced by the teachings of A Course In Miracles, The Walls of Lucca is historical fiction that shows readers the power of love and forgiveness in the face of evil. Compelling, colorful characters populate an authentic, inspiring story of friendship, faith, love and loss in a tumultuous time in European history. Winner of the 2019 Reader Views Historical Fiction Award Winner of the 2019 Tyler R. Tichelaar Award for Best Historical Fiction</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Martellino Series - Above The Walls…</image:title>
      <image:caption>For eight years, the Fascist politician Alfredo Obizzi has kept quiet about his affair with Susanna Martellino, the matriarch of the Martellino vineyard. Now in 1938 Italy, Obizzi uses his growing political power to seek revenge on his past enemies, and Susanna and the vineyard’s spiritual leader, Isabella, are at the top of his list. Will faith and forgiveness be enough to lead the vineyard and its inhabitants through the bloodshed and heartbreak of World War II and Obizzi’s vengeance? Meanwhile, the vineyard’s next generation, DeAngelo and Lily, have been best friends since they were born. But now — is it more? The star-crossed lovers must push through war, distance and outside forces to find out. Influenced by the teachings of A Course In Miracles, Above the Walls is historical fiction that shows readers the power of love and forgiveness in the face of evil. The turmoil of war intertwines with danger and sacrifice at home in Lucca — with friendship and romance at the heart of the story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Sam Cloud-Carson Series - Walks With the Wind</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sam Cloud-Carson has a good life. A rising baseball star with scouts filling the stands, he’s also the most skilled wildlife tracker in his Southern Ute tribe. Grounded in family, tradition, and the Colorado wilderness he loves, Sam’s future seems wide open. Drake Dixon has other plans. The ruthless head of DiamondBar Security sees Sam not as a young man with talent, but as a valuable asset. If Sam can be convinced to work for him, his tracking gifts could unlock unimaginable profit in the dangerous mountains of Afghanistan. When tragedy strikes, Sam is forced into Drake’s world and thrust into a conflict far from home. What follows is a tense journey across cultures and continents, where survival depends on instinct, and every choice tests Sam’s loyalty, faith, and sense of self. Walks with the Wind is a gripping, character-driven novel for readers who enjoy inspirational coming-of-age fiction, Native American literary fiction, and suspenseful stories of survival, identity, and redemption. Winner of the 9th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published E-book Grand Prize</image:caption>
