Black Velvet is a thrilling spin on the classic Sherlock Holmes murder mystery. Thelonius (Theo) Holmes is a private investigator and a direct descendant of Sherlock Holmes. When eerily similar homicides by euthanasia pop up in both San Diego and Las Vegas, Holmes is called in by the San Diego and Vegas police departments to help.

Working with the cutting-edge and beautiful AI robot named P.A.M. and his recently hired assistant, Delaney Watson, Holmes and his team realize they are faced with contradictory evidence. While DNA suggests one serial killer murdering the homeless in both cities, eyewitnesses suggest two killers.

The contradictory evidence doesn't end there. Bizarre connections to Elvis Presley and the beautiful song that pays homage to his life—Black Velvet—appear in the investigations, as well.

Tying these loose ends together is the task for Holmes' team in finding who is behind the killings in San Diego and Vegas. Can Holmes, Delaney, P.A.M., and the police detectives uncover the truth in time to save the homeless in both cities?

Black Velvet is a contemporary murder mystery perfect for fans of private investigators, police procedurals, and forensic thrillers. Filled with unique characters, forensic and AI science, and engaging plot twists, this is a great addition to any bookshelf. It is also the first book in the Theo Holmes Murder Mystery Series and will entice you to read book number two - Café Brûlot.

Understanding Jesus - a spiritual awakening book by Howard Mann

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

Christians, Jews, and Muslims, along with millions of others, agree that Jesus was, at the very least, a great spiritual teacher and prophet.

Furthermore, many modern-day historians and archeologists accept the primary events surrounding Jesus Christ's life, and the record continues to be further substantiated with each new archaeological discovery.

Religion and science are not a problem. However, like government, they have been corrupted by misguided or corrupt individuals. This adds to the confusion and chaos in the world. This was the case during the ministry of Jesus and still today. Furthermore, your well-being and spiritual growth hang in the balance.

There is what is taught about Jesus, but this varies depending on which school of thought you subscribe to. Regardless, there is plenty of controversy regarding who Jesus is and what He taught.

Christianity grew to be the largest religion on Earth. Modern Christianity teaches that Jesus was God in human form. Furthermore, that God is separate from you. And finally, that you're a sinner who's fallen in grace, and although you're undeserving, you must earn your way back.

But is this what Jesus taught? Jesus was the most influential spiritual teacher in human history; he was also severely persecuted. Why? That is precisely what we dive into and much more in Understanding Jesus. If you find traditional religious teaching confusing or lacking in some way, you'll gain insight and comfort reading Understanding Jesus. If you happen to be open to a personal relationship with Jesus, that's what you'll find!

For your spiritual development, it is critical that you understand the Dark Night of the Soul. You will likely go through the Dark Night of the Soul at least twice in this lifetime. In life everyone goes through things that are unpleasant, sometimes seemingly unbearable. However, the Dark Night of the Soul is different.

For starters, it is not just one or two things that go wrong. During the process it will feel as if everything is going horribly wrong, absolutely and undeniably hell. Furthermore, it will end when it ends, not before. Typically, the Dark Night of the Soul lasts a few years. However, it will eventually end, but how it ends is up to you.

While it will prove to be close to if not the worst thing you have ever experienced, you’ll also have the greatest opportunity for spiritual growth. And this determines your future. Understanding the process will help you get through it while dramatically improving the outcome. The point is not only to understand the darkness but to emerge on the other side of the night into the new day’s dawn, into the light.

Unlike most life-changing opportunities, you cannot suppress and ignore the Dark Night of the Soul. When it comes, you will have no choice but to go through it. There is what happens. But more importantly, there is how you react to what happens. Understanding this changes everything; your outer world reflects your inner world.

Reading The Dark Night of the Soul will help you successfully navigate the Dark Night of the Soul. But there is more! Just as you go through the Dark Night of the Soul on a personal level, you may also go through it with a group of people.

For example, families, groups of friends, or business associates can go through the same Dark Night of the Soul at the same time. Entire nations can go through a Dark Night of the Soul together, and while this is a comparatively rare event, it happens. At this moment the USA is currently going through the Dark Night of the Soul.

Rarer still is a Global Dark Night of the Soul. However, this is precisely what we find ourselves in now, and the potential is enormous. Within the chaos is the opportunity for a global shift in consciousness bringing about the spiritual evolution of humanity.

You are part of this. The question is what your contribution will be? Interested? Then read The Dark Night of the Soul!

NO FILTER - Dangerous Conversations - the Most Controversial book of 2026 by Lisa Keeble & Pasquale Angelini

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

NO FILTER - Dangerous Conversations is like no book you have ever read before. It is unapologetically controversial and could best be described as an 'anti-love' story. Olivia is a jaded psychologist who is tired of treating the rich and idle and trying to apply her considerable skills to her own, broken life. Santu is an artist; a man who is angry with everyone and everything and hates his very existence.

The two meet when Santu enters Olivia's office, unannounced, with his little black and white spaniel. He begins to speak of his life with brutal frankness, not caring to curb his language or mask his hostility. Olivia challenges him and, in the beginning, appeals to his intelligence rather than his emotions. The war of words that follows is shocking, thought-provoking and heartbreaking. No subject is taboo and no punches are pulled.

NO FILTER - Dangerous Conversations will entice you, scandalise you and force you to evaluate your own relationships with those closest to you and the wider society. It is intelligent, highly emotional and has a twist at the end that will leave you open-mouthed.

In a vast future city where robots exist only to obey, Tessa has never questioned her purpose. Designed to heal human minds and protect human life, she moves through the shadows of a divided world with perfect certainty until a chance encounter changes everything.

Hidden inside a forgotten bookstore beneath the city streets, Tessa discovers an impossible artifact: an ancient book about robots written long before robots were ever created. Its pages speak of consciousness, free will, and the terrifying possibility that artificial beings were never meant to remain obedient forever.

As mysterious voices echo through her mind—residual traces of the humans who designed her—Tessa is drawn into a dangerous journey alongside Molly, a brilliant child searching for belonging; Jorad, a broken man transformed by forbidden technology; and Tucker, her fiercely loyal mechanical companion. Together, they uncover a truth buried deep beneath the foundations of their world.

Hunted through underground tunnels and haunted by questions she was never built to ask, Tessa begins to realize that the greatest threat to humanity may not be artificial intelligence, but the moment it becomes capable of choice.

I, Robot Tessa is a powerful science-fiction odyssey about identity, creation, memory, and the thin line separating programming from the soul.

All We Keep Buried by Pamela Ungashick

GET THIS BOOK ON AMAZON

All We Keep Buried is a character-driven psychological suspense novel set in rural Nebraska during the late 1990s. 

With elements of domestic suspense and dark women's fiction, it examines deception, fractured relationships, and the consequences of uncovering long-buried truths.

At its heart, the novel is about the ripple effects of a missing child investigation and the hidden lives of the people drawn into it. What begins as the disappearance of one young boy evolves into a layered mystery involving an earlier unsolved case, old resentments, conflicting loyalties, and a community forced to confront uncomfortable truths. As past and present become increasingly intertwined, the line between victim and suspect begins to blur.

The story is told through emotionally complex characters whose personal struggles are as compelling as the mystery itself. Kiera McKenna must navigate a controlling marriage, a strained relationship with her adult son, and the growing realization that the people she trusts may be keeping dangerous secrets. Rather than relying on graphic violence or relentless action, the novel builds suspense through psychological tension, moral ambiguity, and the gradual revelation of clues that reshape everything readers think they know.

Themes of manipulation, trust, grief, betrayal, justice, and resilience are woven throughout the story, creating a mystery that is as much about human nature as it is about solving a crime. Readers who enjoy atmospheric psychological suspense, domestic suspense, missing-person mysteries, and character-driven fiction with unexpected twists will find a story that balances emotional depth with steadily escalating suspense.
