In the sultry, supernatural underbelly of New Orleans, death comes calling with a name. As Infernal assassins begin stalking a magical district known as the Haint, an uneasy alliance forms between sworn enemies. Storm witch Lena Nevers summons a warrior's soul from another reality to settle an old debt, and everyone gets more than they bargained for—a displaced spirit, a demon-slayer, and a dark soul that hungers for more. Awakening in a dead gangster's body with his true identity stripped away, the warrior finds himself an unwilling pawn in a supernatural power struggle. Taking the name and fractured memories of his host, Ciro Case, he must navigate a world where witches wield cosmic power, Lycans guard mystical neighborhoods, and vampires broker deals between all sides. In a city where every soul has a price and every spell demands payment, the greatest threat may not be the demons hunting in the shadows—it might be the hijacked soul or those seeking to bring him down. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files or Kim Harrison’s The Hollows series, Saintsville blends a political thriller, urban paranormal fantasy, and crime noir into a tale of divided loyalties, dark magic, and the river that runs through it all.-

“Oh God! I’m coming!” What does sex have to do with God? What does God have to do with sex? Have you ever wondered about that connection? I have: it’s been the central conundrum of my entire life. In my early years, I felt painfully split. That pain has driven me on a life-long quest to fathom the depths of both sex and spirit: to explore their many mysteries and to find where they may be connected. What follows in this spiritual travelog are the highs and lows, the struggles and insights, and most of all the amazing grace that has guided me on a totally transformational life journey. Many inspiring teachers have gradually guided me to experience sex and love as vehicles to a deep connection with God, which I now understand to be the pure consciousness and love that is who we all are. If you share even a little of my fascination with the God-sex connection, I invite you to join me on that journey, to share my discoveries, and to make discoveries of your own along the way. Even if you do not identify with my early struggles as a guilt-ridden Catholic gay boy, stick around. I believe you’ll agree that many of my discoveries are relevant to all of us, regardless of our gender or sexual orientation. I want to see a world where people celebrate our sexuality in ways that are affirming of our lust and our love. I want us all to live with our genitals, hearts, and souls in happy harmony. Is that possible? Join me to learn more. -

A young Irish sailor cast adrift in the sea. A mermaid princess and Irish luck save him from drowning. This adventurous tale owes its inspiration to stories Mike Mirabella heard as a little boy. His sizeable Italian clan swapped such stories during family dinners at the kitchen table.
"My grandpa and uncles would tell tales of fishing the waters off the coast of California and up through the inland passages of Alaska. I recall Grandpa Angelo telling of the scary times, when he was a cabin boy of 12 and was captured by pirates while working on the tall ships”.
And then there was the never-ending argument between my grandpa and Uncle Cam: “What was that strange creature they caught off the coast of Alaska; a mermaid or a merman?" I was (and still am) that wee lad in our story, sitting wide-eyed, half-believing, yet never tiring of hearing those wonder-filled stories told by those salty, old jacks."
Using the rhyming style of a pirate in an Irish pub, our sailor spins his yarn about seeing the slap of a mermaid's tail during a mighty storm. "On the Luck of an Irish Sailor" is a beautiful tale of adventure on the high seas. In a story that's been passed down for generations, author Mike Mirabella takes us on a magical experience deep beneath the ocean.
Could it have happened? Did it happen? Folklore - that's the feeling sparked by the illustrations by illustrator Amy O'Hanlon. She uses hues of blues, grays, and browns to depict the fierce storm accurately. On other pages, O'Hanlon uses beige and brown tones to create the illusion of an older picture book-like classic story that's been around for years. Enjoy the bonus song sheets and sing along with this ‘mostly’ true story of adventure and redemption, in "On the Luck of an Irish Sailor."

Amy O'Hanlon's excellent Sister Butterfly illustrations show Carla approaching a favorite corner of her garden where she feels safe and happy. Her vigilant brother knows that Carla can create beautiful fantasies as she twirls around and round to music only she can hear, engaged in quiet conversation with the small creatures such as butterflies and her favorite flowers. Mike Mirabella's children's book entitled Sister Butterfly, is a beautifully illustrated children's book based on a song from his 1998 CD entitled, Special People. Mike wrote Sister Butterfly song years ago for his daughter, Carla, when she was three years old. The theme of Sister Butterfly centers on Mike's abiding love for his daughter with Down syndrome and for self-discovery and the transformation of the hearts that surround her. Mike wrote in the song; "My sister is a butterfly who never learned to fly, ...”. Carla still wasn't walking or talking and Mike thought at the time, she would have little chance of accomplishing much of anything in her life. "How wrong I was; her life was a parade of accomplishments!” - Papa Mike. -
The accidental result of a collaboration by Margaret A. Harrell and Jef Crab, Stop All the Clocks was conceived when Jef commented about Harrell’s An Underground PRINCIPIA: “My biggest concern is that I have no idea how many people will be able to grasp the depth of the principles you describe. It is amazing enough that you take a lifetime of experiences and connect them into a driving force that leads to the realization of one’s purpose. Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes . . . Most breathtakingly, by reading An Underground PRINCIPIA, the reader can gain the insight that all of this is happening, not in one lifetime, whether human or universal, but in an eternal now. Amazing achievement.”—Jef Crab, An Underground PRINCIPIA review Why not make that depth accessible? Tell even more stories? Do it in conversations? Reveal tales that neither even knew about the other? Harrell pondered. Why not take the obstacle as a Giant Opportunity? And so this new book was born in conversations on Skype. Miraculously, they needed little editing and fitted neatly into Stop All the Clocks, which Harrell had started writing. Jef stepped in and the conversations that followed sparkled with probing wisdom, as the two simplified ideas, telling of experiences, helping bring about what Jef called a crashing down of the old paradigm. -

Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about “action at a distance.” How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author’s decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar.
An unusual feature of the illustrations in AN UNDERGROUND PRINCIPIA is a technique called “computer-PK,” or mind through matter in the creation of printouts that refocus the text on-screen in the printing so that nothing happens twice. As in Einstein’s “Credo,” the author exemplifies: “The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious.”Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. An Underground PRINCIPIA connects life purpose, spirituality, depth psychology, and quantum physics into one all-encompassing movement.
