Dark Side: An Unexplained Case File Part One (Hard Cover) by Brandi Gibson

$31.95

"You could be a mash-up of Buffy, Dylan Dog, and Constantine.”

“So a private eye who slays vampires and exorcises demons on the side?”

Shootings, raves, robberies ... during his years on the force, Detective Allen Miar has seen it all––or at least that's what he was led to believe. So, when the chief himself puts a seemingly unsolvable case in Allen's hands, he has no problem accepting it. Afterall, his caseload has been a snooze fest, and “unsolvable” is his middle name. 

Allen soon discovers just how wrong he was when the case plunges him into a world he didn’t know existed: a paranormal underbelly that lurks in every shadow of his Texas town. Now it seems like no one is safe. Not even an old pro like him.

With danger at every turn and only a few people who believe him, Allen must stay alive long enough to solve his case and figure out the rules of the Dark Side.

The Beekeeper by Myron Brown (Hard Cover)

$33.95

“I’m glad I’m a beekeeper because the bees taught me so much.

Being close to the soil, and putting his hands to work, can save a man.

I’m not the same person I once was. Scarred, but better for it.”

Who was D. D. Palmer, and how did a teacher turned beekeeper find the inspiration to ignite a revolutionary idea that changed the face of health care? From humble beginnings, Palmer is remembered for founding the chiropractic profession, which is now practiced worldwide. But less is known about his story, from a childhood on the Canadian frontier to schoolmaster, horticulturist, and maverick doctor who gave birth to colleges of chiropractic in Iowa and other states from the Midwest to the West Coast. This masterful piece of historical fiction tells of a little-known passion of Palmer’s—beekeeping—and how the allure of apiculture inspired one of science’s most fascinating minds.
