Diego Ramírez has exactly ONE rule for his day off: no detective work. The enthusiastic Spanish waiter promised his boss Matteo he'd spend the day being a normal tourist in Kraków-visiting monuments, taking selfies, staying out of trouble. Simple, right? Wrong. Five minutes at Wawel Castle, Diego witnesses what looks like an international art smuggling operation: a nervous Italian man exchanging a briefcase full of medieval dragon replicas in a shadowy transaction. His inner detective (and inner chaos) immediately takes over. Armed with broken Polish, theatrical hand gestures, and absolutely zero investigative training, Diego launches his own amateur investigation. He follows suspects through Old Town. He takes "covert" photographs (that are anything but subtle). He accidentally crashes a midnight exchange at Market Square. There's just one problem: Diego's investigating completely innocent people. But while chasing the wrong suspects, Diego's chaotic "evidence gathering" accidentally captures ACTUAL criminals in the background of his tourist photos. Now he's tangled in a real police investigation, trying to clear the people he wrongly suspected while helping catch thieves who definitely don't want a clumsy Spanish waiter ruining their plans. Between fountain mishaps, pierogi-related disasters, and one very exasperated police inspector, Diego proves that sometimes the best detectives are the ones who have no idea what they're doing. A FREE comedic mystery spin-off from The Bellini-Zielińska Mysteries series. ✨ New readers welcome! No prior knowledge needed-Diego's enthusiasm (and confusion) transcends everything. 📚 Love Diego?

Praise for Book 1: "Android Uprising is a truly fun book of solidly Christian cyberpunk dystopian YA. Den has developed a wonderful series. I'm praying for the Lord to anoint it for the readers. . . . This is what I hope for with Christian fiction of this type-good entertainment, outrageous speculation, with a solid base of Truth. It's very difficult to pull off, but Den has done it. . . . If your teenager reads it, you can expect some very interesting questions and discussions. I recommend this entertaining read." - David Bergsland, Reality Calling . . . also available in paperback.

Julian is the keeper of every life but his own. Chloe wants to understand him, but the library does not want him to be understood.

She's been left behind by her childhood sweetheart. He's been jilted by his fiancée. Her sweetheart left her for his fiancée... Miss Rosemary Griffiths has been looking forward to the day her childhood sweetheart returns from his year abroad. He promised to make their secret engagement public, and her life will finally start moving forward. But he returns, and there is no engagement. There is only the discovery that Frank has 'outgrown' her. He has decided he wants a woman of passion, and Rose is too calm and practical. That, and he is to inherit both a title and an estate from a distant relative and has found a wife with money. Rose is left with broken dreams, a shattered heart, and a list of things they were going to do once they married. So, she sets out to 'undo' all the things on that list by doing them backwards. Or in the opposite direction. Whichever. She is determined to prove that she can be contrary when she puts her mind to it. But this is 1870s England. Going anywhere as a young unmarried woman requires that she go with her doting, but overwhelming, family in tow. Then, while contriving to take the stage to the resort that was supposed to be her honeymoon destination, she meets Mr. Walker. When the two of them keep bumping into each other at the resort, it comes to light that they are there under similar circumstances. It only takes a short conversation for Rose to figure out their situations aren't just similar; they have a detail named Frank in common: Mr. Walker's former fiancée is going to marry the new Duke of Windham. The two wind up in several hilarious escapades as they try to help each other finish the things on their lists to spite the people who hurt them, while also trying not to get themselves into a romantic entanglement with each other. But when Mr. Walker's list is finished, will that put an end to their burgeoning friendship? Or have they stumbled upon something neither thought possible?

Oliver is not your average cat. (If this statement is ever proven to be incorrect, please don't share that with Oliver. I doubt he'd believe you anyway.) Oliver is uncommonly wise in the ways of human-training, and is currently attempting to share his knowledge with both Harry, the dog who shares his house, and Pete, the cat next door. I will let Oliver tell you if they are proving to be inept pupils or not. I'd rather not get involved in that discussion. Their most recent harrowing adventure is what follows, wherein cats fly, monsters eat, and plans ravel and unravel with alarming speed.

As neighbor turns against neighbor, Clara finds herself drawn into the fray, forced to do what she can to protect her friends and loved ones. An educated and upstanding minister's daughter, Clara speaks out against the witch-hunter's unjust treatment of those accused of witchcraft. She sees how he plays the villagers, using their superstitions and religious beliefs to make good people accept horrible things. When Clara's best friend Bess is accused of being a witch, Clara must make an incredible sacrifice to save not only her friend, but the entire town... before it's too late. About the Book In 1660, women had no voting rights, couldn't own property, and were treated as second-class citizens. If that weren't bad enough, many innocent women-especially poor women-were tried and executed for witchcraft. The people responsible for their deaths were often their own friends, family members, and neighbors. Catching a Witch is a story about a young woman who's willing to do whatever it takes to protect the people she cares about most in this world. You'll love this book if you enjoy...
