The Crown and the Scepter is an epic fantasy tale with a modern twist. The kingdom of Cuniray has been without a king for twenty years, and the provinces have become a loose confederacy each ruled by its own noble. In the northern province of Dernfeld, ruled by the Baron Rachloff, magic is forbidden, and industry has burgeoned with primitive railroads, work programs and assembly lines. Magic flourishes in Brenal, a southern province ruled by the Countess Aleese Tregari. As the two nobles despise each other on principle, civil war seems inevitable.Rhyah Cedars, a common field worker from Dernfeld, finds a lodestone one day that unlocks her innate abilities as she saves the life of her closest friend. Accused of witchcraft and murder, Rhyah flees her hometown for the sanctity of Brenal.However, getting to Brenal alive is only the beginning of her troubles.“Utterly unique.”—John Dechancie“I very much enjoyed the mix of relationship and magic.”—Lois Greiman

World War II is the backdrop of a story of intrigue and adventure that begins when Adolf Hitler decides in 1940 to invade England. His plans call for his first stealing the Crown Jewels of England so he can personally destroy these historic symbols of Great Britain's constitutional monarchy in full view of their British Parliament. He wants it to be a clear sign to the world that the British Empire would be a vanquished nation and under the iron-handed rule of Nazi Germany. When the British become aware of the Nazi plans, they decide that the Crown Jewels are no longer safe in England. They arrange for the collection to be sent to the United States for safekeeping. Guenther Strasser, a heroic and much-honored U-boat commander, successfully masterminds a shrewd and daring plan for stealing England's national treasures. The scheme undergoes severe complications when Strasser's boat becomes disabled off the coast of the United States. It takes all of his ingenuity and skill to survive when left alone in a strange land with his precious contraband. Conflicting emotions constantly disturb him. His dilemma becomes a question of doing his duty or following his conscience and doing the morally right thing. Finding romance in this unlikely scenario becomes both a challenge and an inspiration. Bill Kennedy has take his signature style of blending strong fictional plots and characters into a time that has been described as the worst tragedy in the annals of recorded history. The horrors of World War II are vividly recaptured in this fast-paced work of fiction that is a reminder that "those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them."

An in-depth look at the British monarchy that’s “a superb synthesis of historical analysis, politics, and top-notch royal gossip” (Kirkus Reviews). Since William the Conqueror, duke of Normandy, crossed the English Channel in 1066 to defeat King Harold II and unite England’s various kingdoms, forty-one kings and queens have sat on Britain’s throne. “Shining examples of royal power and majesty alongside a rogue’s gallery of weak, lazy, or evil monarchs,” as Tracy Borman describes them in her sparkling chronicle, Crown & Sceptre. Ironically, during very few of these 955 years has the throne’s occupant been unambiguously English—whether Norman French, the Welsh-born Tudors, the Scottish Stuarts, and the Hanoverians and their German successors to the present day. Acknowledging the intrinsic fascination with British royalty, Borman lifts the veil to reveal the remarkable characters and personalities who have ruled and, since the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, more ceremonially reigned. It is a crucial distinction explaining the staying power of the monarchy as the royal family has evolved and adapted to the needs and opinions of its people, avoiding the storms of rebellion that brought many of Europe’s royals to an abrupt end. Richard II; Henry VIII; Elizabeth I; George III; Victoria; Elizabeth II: their names evoke eras and the dramatic events Borman recounts. She is equally attuned to the fabric of monarchy: royal palaces; the way monarchs have been portrayed in art, on coins, in the media; the ceremony and pageantry surrounding the crown. Elizabeth II is already one of the longest reigning monarchs in history. Crown & Sceptre is a fitting tribute to her remarkable longevity and that of the magnificent institution she represents. “Crown & Sceptre brings us in short, vivid chapters from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth herself, much of it constituting a dark record of bumping off adversaries, rivals and spouses, confiscating vast estates and military invasions…. [A] lucid, character-rich book.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Borman’s deep understanding of English royalty shines.” —Chris Schluep, Amazon Editors’ Picks, The Best History Books of February 2022

A cursed king. A hunted sorceress. A mad plan for survival. Newly crowned, Red blames one person for his father's murder: the secret sorceress sworn to protect the king. Alyana Barron, Royal Sorcerer to the throne of Tandera, has been hiding from a dangerous enemy bent on destroying her magic--and Red's rash behavior has just told her enemy where to find her. When Red activates a hidden curse, he must rely on Aly for survival, but Aly's magic is tied directly to his wellbeing. As the curse drains his life, it weakens her magic as well. Fighting for survival, their lives entwine in ways neither of them expected. To find a cure, they must put aside their mutual distrust and work together, but the closer they get to a solution, the nearer they step toward death, for the path to the cure is as dangerous as the curse itself. Packed full of royal intrigue, slow-burn romance, and plenty of ballgowns, Blade of Ash is the first in a new, YA epic fantasy series perfect for fans of Tricia Levenseller, Margaret Rogerson, and Sarah K. L. Wilson. If you like enemies-to-lovers romance, female bodyguards, and forced proximity with life-and-death stakes, dive into Blade of Ash today!

In The Caper of the Crown Jewels, Jack is summoned to solve a matter of grave national importance: the theft of the Crown Jewels of the British Empire from the Tower of London. Arriving on the scene, he is greeted by a traditional Tower guard- a Yeoman Warder (or Beefeater)- who explains what's missing: The Imperial State Crown, the Sovereign's Orb, and the Sovereign's Scepter with the cross containing the finest-cut diamond in the world, the Star of Africa. Jack identifies Ivan the Incredible and his assistant, Jazz, as the thieves immediately--but puzzling out how they did it is stickier. The famous Tower has the most advanced security in the world, and even using his impressive gadgets (the Encryption notebook, Heli-Spacer, Rock Corer, and Rope Tornado) Jack is flummoxed by how the jewels were spirited out. However, Jack can conjure up more than gadgets--he foils the evil magicians with some powerful mojo of his own, dispels an invisibility enchantment, and narrowly avoids the executioner's block before restoring the jewels to the crown and earning the gratitude of the Queen herself!
