Evenstars of Aeweniel : Willow Sova
A dragon shifter romance. An erotic faerie tale in a faraway world…
In a time when witches were burned, and elves and faeries populated secret worlds, Sparrow travels to the hidden Realm of Aeweniel to study under the Elven Master of Beasts to fulfill her destiny and honor her mother’s life. On her journey, she meets the enigmatic Thalion, an elf who has been searching for his soulmate for centuries.
Their lives are intertwined in a way they cannot predict, leaving them in mortal danger and pitted against the pathologically twisted Princess Medlinya, who claims Thalion as her own. Little does Sparrow know, but she and Thalion are destined for each other. But before the two can claim a life together, they must conquer their own demons, as well as the veritable threat of Medlinya, who will stop at nothing to purge Sparrow from Thalion’s life.
With some naughty humor and a sense of adventure, Willow Sova has created a lush and mystical world of dragons, magical mushrooms, spritely faeries, and endless intrigue. Wielding a deft pen, she creates characters who live in a land of danger and unimaginable beauty and who come alive while she takes readers on a tempestuous journey with Sparrow, whose one desire is to live a life free of prejudice of those gifted with special powers.

The Luminous Qur’an : Waleed Bleyhesh al-Amri
A faithful rendition, annotated translation of the first three suras of the Message of God
No translator will ever embark on such a momentous project as translating the Qur’an, without realizing the magnitude of his undertaking, his position in the history of humanity viz-a-viz their most pressing need for Divine guidance, and where to make a well-calculated stand in the ceaseless flow of previous and concurrent translations of the Qur’an.
By translating the untranslatable Qur’an we are at once engaging in an impossible mission that we fully realise is not going to be carried out to a satisfactory completion even before we set about it! But this needs not to hold us back from engaging in a quest to explore the limits of the “translatability” of the Qur’an and the possibility of compensating for the degrees of loss, great as they are.
What one can hope for is to get across the purport of the Qur’anic message so that people can pay heed to it. This is a legitimate attempt indeed. The current translation:
- Represents a safe, mainstream yet non-restrictive understanding of the Message of the Grand Qur’an.
- Relies on the most authentic time-honoured sources of tafsÊr and Hadith.
- The introduction to the translation provides a broad coverage of essential topics for those seeking to read the Qur’an in Arabic and in translation.
- This translation is marked by its “faithfulness”. It is neither too literal nor too free.
- Each sura is preceded by a brief introduction, which is indispensable for anyone who wants to unlock some of the meaning potential of the sura.
- Every care was taken to make each aya rendition read as a composite whole, i.e. understood independently of its notes.
- Uses extensive annotations to provide a holistic reading experience.•Highlights and underlines the connectivity and thematic unity of the suras and ayas.

Mustard Seed Faith : Bethanee R. Syversen
A Journey Through Infertility, Miscarriage, Adoption, and Faith
Bethanee R. Syversen shares her personal journey into motherhood and how she experienced the ultimate tests of faith as a wife and mother.
Her book covers her experiences while starting a big family with her husband, Jason, and how God worked in mysterious ways so that the couple could be the parents of many God-loving children—something both of them always wanted even before they met in church.
Mustard Seed Faith shares with readers the different kinds of struggles a hopeful mother faces, namely infertility, miscarriages, the pain of loss, and hope. Bethanee offers words of encouragement and advice to people who may be experiencing similar situations from different sides, particularly about how words from concerned friends can be hurtful despite their good intentions.
“This was my anchor: knowing that I will find God every single time I seek Him,” says the author as she and her husband had barely started that big family they’ve always wanted. “In all the struggles and hardships, I will find God if I daily get on my knees and seek Him. And He promises that we will find Him. God does not promise to take away our problems or give us a struggle-free life, but He promises to be found and to be present with us.”
In the span of a decade, Bethanee and Jason successfully have four biological children and proceed with trying adoption. The pain remains the same, though, whether it’s a miscarriage or a prospective adoption that doesn’t push through. She also talks about how her heart breaks for the many children who continue being denied a loving family due to flaws in the system (both domestic and international), and she continues praying for expectant mothers who have their own life struggles which end in them planning an abortion or making other questionable decisions.
“Those years of infertility and miscarriages were some of the darkest years of my life. The loss felt unbearable at times,” she shares. “However, I’m so very grateful for what I learned about myself. I learned that I am a survivor. I am dedicated. I am consistent. I am driven. And I am a fighter. And I am thankful that God was with me all along the way helping me through all of the loss and in the process, helping me learn how to handle difficult situations.”
After a lot of heartbreak and endless tests of their faith, the author and her husband are blessed by God with six amazing children, supportive friends, an ever-loving family, and the chance to be a blessing to others. While scarred and drained of many tears, Bethanee’s faith in the Lord grows as strong as her children with each passing day; and through her book, she hopes that readers will allow Him to show them their own purpose and write their story to glorify His Kingdom.
Protection: Sex, Revenge & Romance : Ken Ross
While you may think this book is all about sex, and there sure is a lot of that, on a deeper level it is about the human condition. All of that is wrapped in a tawdry little tale that follows a man and three sisters who go on an adventure. There’s plenty of sex, some murder, and weird family relationships to explore. Just when you think you know where the story is going, it changes direction and takes you somewhere else.
This book explores the concepts of randomness, serendipity, and pure chance, and how sometimes all of those elements come together to fashion a new existence, and a new understanding.
Protection highlights the author’s ability to take the mundane and elevate it to much more.
Highly recommended for something a little unusual, and in fact, with this book, you can’t judge a book by its cover or title.
Jesse & The Thinkers, ANN: Irresistible Spirit, A Cross of Crocuses, Wasted Pain and An Old Affair by Ken Ross are also on Whizbuzz Books.

Hungry Hill : K.J. Sargeant
The derelict farm Hungry Hill has always been viewed as something of a local legend amongst the people in the towns and villages surrounding it. They say it’s got an appetite – hence the name – a spot where unexplainable things happen and people, young girls in particular, go missing. Nothing official has ever been found amiss in the area, but Erin and her boyfriend should have heeded the warnings, as they find themselves at the mercy of the farm’s reclusive owner and his twisted nephew, Dominic.
Meanwhile, Detective Grace Buchanan is haunted by nightmares that feel like memories. Her time on the Edinburgh metropolitan has almost entirely been defined by death, twisted sights that the human mind can’t so easily compartmentalize and rationalise. So, when she’s called in to aid with the disappearance of Erin, and the many others who have vanished around Hungry Hill, she assumes the worst. Still, even those pessimistic preconceptions aren’t enough to prepare her for the true horror lurking in plain sight on that derelict farm.
As Grace attempts to find some semblance of justice in a situation that’s increasingly spiralling out of control and her nightmares become a reality, she finds herself going to extreme measures and warring with the darkness that rages inside her.

My Name is Bacci Bogie: Frequent Flyer Extraordinaire : Sandra Glosser
His human-like antics drew people to him where ever he went. People stood in line for his autograph as he performed funny tricks.
Bacci traveled over 500,000 air miles as my ‘jet pet’ experiencing life in a very unique way. His hometown was Aspen, Colorado where he co-hosted my local television show for many years. It was not unusual when we walked through town, for people to say hello to him by name. Where ever he went, he was a magnet for people to gather asking unending questions about his life.
I wrote Bacci’s memoirs from his point of view and in his voice. He was inspirational by nature and approached life with possibility thinking. Bacci was a multi-dimensional dog as he interacted with police officers across the country. His desire to give back to society, by becoming involved in community service with high-risk teens and senior citizens, was admirable.
The book is inspirational and filled with humor. Most of all, the story is an entertaining testament to the multi-faceted richness that pets can bring to human life.
The following is one of the reviews that is posted on Amazon: 5.0 out of 5 stars…
“A must-read for all of those who have loved and lost their best friend. Bacci Bogie truly captures life from his unique viewpoint. So many of Bacci’s adventures reminded me of the fun, the awkward, the frustrating and the even scary moments I have experienced with my own dogs. It was a really fun read.”
