Best of Friends Trilogy

Book 1: Best of Friends: What happens when a family death wreaks havoc among siblings? What would you do if the ‘peace-maker’ of the family suddenly loses control? If the opportunity arose, would you agree to simply ‘burn the will,’ sell the estate and split the proceeds? What would be your response when calling the cops and being told: “We’re not coming out, unless there are bullets flying and bodies to count?” Elizabeth Caliente is faced with such propositions in Sherry Brantley’s award-winning ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy. Best of Friends has won two national awards for ‘Best Fiction of the Year!’

Book 2: Before Best of Friends: In this much-anticipated prequel to the ‘Best of Friends,’ trilogy, readers discover how the Fabulous Five group were formed in their youth, and are introduced to the unfolding of the powerful secrets binding the group together. Secrets only this private group were privileged to know. Join this tight-knit group as you uncover the mystery of the ‘Secret of the Blanket.’ Included is an excerpt from the books’ final work of the trilogy, ‘Still Best of Friends.’

Book 3: Still Best of Friends: The explosive conclusion of the ‘Best of Friends’ trilogy! The Fabulous Five were bound together by secrets they’d all swore to carry to their graves. But with the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ exposing the ‘Secret of the Blanket,’ will the Fabulous Five find themselves desperately being consumed in a modern-day media frenzy that is threatening to consume them? Will this group of friends be able to survive the onslaught of the public revelation of their past deeds? Or will they crumble under the weight of their unexpected circumstances? Travel with the Fabulous Five: Elizabeth Caliente’, Kim Worthy, Kiona Stone, Angela Jackson-(A.J.) and Quineeta Davis as once again, they attempt to weather the storms of adversity that threaten to decimate their bond, their friendship, their past! Will the ‘Dastardly Duke Discovery’ prove to be the final nail in the coffin? Or will vow to continue to ‘deny ‘til they die,’ their involvement in the mystery they’re shrouded in?

Meet the dynamic members of the Fabulous Five as this explosive trilogy takes readers on a whirlwind excursion among five friends. Though often humorous, the ride is filled with lessons on friendship, family dynamics and strong relationships. You’ll love connecting and bonding with the members of the Fabulous Five, as they deal individually and collectively with the drama that surrounds them!

Seabrook Harbor : A Fake Engagement Romance

 

Seabrook Harbor :

A Fake Engagement Romance

I ran away from my wedding… 

then accidentally agreed to fake an engagement with my grumpy CEO.

Running from the worst day of my life was supposed to be the reckless part. 

Then I started my dream job as Ashford Maritime's new internal auditor and found myself working shoulder to shoulder with my impossibly serious boss, Caleb Ashford.

The fake engagement is meant to solve one problem. 

Instead, it creates a hundred more.

The more time we spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the man beneath the tailored suits and impossible standards. The way he quietly protects me. The way he believes in me when no one else does. 

Somewhere between late nights chasing missing millions and pretending to be in love, I stop pretending.

Then the evidence points straight at me.

Now I'm wearing handcuffs instead of an engagement ring, and the only man I trust has to choose between saving the company he's spent his life building... or believing the woman who's stolen his heart.

Because if Caleb can't prove I'm innocent, losing my job will be the least of my problems.

The Devil Pulls the Strings

The Devil Pulls the Strings is the pulse-pounding first tale in the Archivist series.

This second edition exists because readers, producers, and studio executives took the time to share what they wanted: a protagonist who arrives sooner, whose motivation hits harder, who drives the story instead of chasing it, along with deeper backstory and expanded details. Their feedback made this story better, and this edition is the result.

For readers who felt lost keeping track of the book's rich cast of characters, a character glossary was added to the front of the book. For fantasy readers who craved deeper detail on the world and its mythology rooted in authentic Slavic folklore, a comprehensive glossary was added to the back.

The Librarians. The Magicians. The Dresden Files. Neil Gaiman's Sandman. The Devil Pulls the Strings belongs in that conversation, and then goes somewhere none of them have gone before.

Set across modern-day Wentzville, MO, New York City, and 1813 Genoa, Italy, the story weaves bromance, Slavic mythology inherited from oral tradition, secret societies, Paganini's music, and time travel into something that operates on layers upon layers upon layers.

Twenty-two-year-old Boone Daniels experiences the world differently. Music floods his vision with color and taste. Action words materialize around him like panels leaping off a comic book page. And his memory never lets anything go.

Not helping is the evil spirit, a wendigo, that has haunted him since age six, nor the debilitating panic attacks and gut-wrenching guilt he feels for almost killing his best friend in a joust. And when he fills in for that same injured friend at a New York gig, he goes to meet the gig's contact at a NYC brownstone, only to watch him fall from the balcony as gunfire erupts around him.

Boone barely escapes and uncovers a sinister plot to perform Paganini's secret sonata that summons the Devil, to be used to trap Baba Yaga. Not the two-dimensional villain you have seen before, but the full, ancient, terrifying supernatural force of Slavic folklore. And destroy modern-day New York City.

Now he is racing through time to capture a cursed melody before it ends everything. A Romani immortal, steampunk vampires, and Baba Yaga herself set the stage for war. Boone will have to risk death for redemption.

All he really wants is to keep a promise to a friend. The same friend he almost killed last Sunday.

Can a small-town Missouri musician outplay the supernatural and save NYC's soul?

If you love tortured heroes, epic battles, time travel, twisted history, and secret societies colliding, and a Baba Yaga rendered in her full folkloric glory for the first time, you will love J. W. Zarek's spectacular page-turner, The Devil Pulls the Strings, Second Edition.

The Author Octopus Shirt exists

 

Every Author Needs the Author Octopus Shirt (And Here's Why)

Let's be honest...

Writing a book is one of the few jobs where you're expected to be an author, editor, proofreader, marketer, social media manager, graphic designer, accountant, customer service representative, website developer, public speaker, podcaster, email marketer, and somehow still find time to actually write.

If you've ever thought, "I wish I had eight arms," congratulations...

You're officially an author.

That's exactly why the Author Octopus Shirt exists.

Because Writing the Book Is Only the Beginning

Many people think an author's job ends when they type "The End."

Experienced authors know that's actually when the real work begins.

Now you need to:

• Edit your manuscript.
• Format it.
• Design a cover.
• Upload it to retailers.
• Build a website.
• Run social media.
• Schedule promotions.
• Answer emails.
• Record podcasts.
• Create videos.
• Attend book signings.
• And somehow start writing the next book.

One pair of hands suddenly feels wildly inadequate.

Enter...

The Author Octopus.

It's Funny Because It's True

The best shirts don't just make people smile.

They make people nod their heads and say,

"That's me."

Every author understands the daily juggling act of wearing multiple hats.

The octopus perfectly captures that reality.

Eight arms.

Twenty-seven projects.

Coffee in one hand.

Laptop in another.

Marketing plan over here.

Manuscript over there.

It's basically a documentary.

It's an Instant Conversation Starter

Authors love talking about books.

Readers love meeting authors.

This shirt creates conversations everywhere.

Wear it to:

• Bookstores
• Libraries
• Book festivals
• Writer conferences
• Coffee shops
• Airports
• Comic conventions
• Farmer's markets
• Anywhere readers gather

Don't be surprised if someone stops you and asks:

"So...what do you write?"

That's not just a compliment.

That's an opportunity.

Free Book Marketing (Without Saying a Word)

Marketing can be exhausting.

But your shirt can do some of the work for you.

People notice bold, funny designs.

They read them.

They smile.

They ask questions.

Every conversation becomes a chance to mention your books.

Not in a pushy way.

Just naturally.

Sometimes your best marketing tool isn't another Facebook ad.

Sometimes it's simply wearing something that makes people curious.

It Shows You're Proud to Be an Author

Authors spend months—or years—bringing stories into the world.

That's something worth celebrating.

The Author Octopus Shirt says:

"I create."

"I write."

"I keep going."

"I'm proud of what I do."

And that's something every writer should wear with confidence.

Authors Recognize Their Own

There's something special that happens when writers meet other writers.

You instantly have something in common.

Shared struggles.

Shared victories.

Shared frustrations over formatting issues.

This shirt acts almost like a secret handshake.

It lets other creatives know:

"You're one of us."

It Makes the Perfect Gift

Know someone who's publishing their first novel?

Finished NaNoWriMo?

Launching a new series?

Celebrating a bestseller?

Instead of another notebook...

Give them something they'll actually wear proudly.

It's thoughtful.

It's practical.

And it's guaranteed to earn a laugh.

The Metaphysical Side of Wearing Your Passion

There's something powerful about wearing clothing that reflects who you are.

Every time you pull on the Author Octopus Shirt, you're making a statement—not just to the world, but to yourself.

You're reminding yourself that you're a creator.

A storyteller.

Someone willing to put ideas onto paper and share them with others.

When you wear something that represents your passion, you naturally carry yourself differently.

You stand a little taller.

Smile a little more.

Talk about your work a little more confidently.

Sometimes confidence begins with something as simple as putting on the right shirt.

More Than a Shirt...

The Author Octopus Shirt isn't just cotton and ink.

It's a badge of honor.

It's a celebration of creativity.

It's a reminder that authors wear more hats than almost anyone else on the planet.

And yes...

Sometimes it really does feel like we need eight arms.

So wear it proudly.

Wear it at your next signing.

Wear it while writing your next bestseller.

Wear it to your favorite coffee shop.

Or wear it simply because another author might see you, smile, and say,

"I totally get it."

Because they do.

And if you're an author...

You probably do too.

Now, if someone could invent a coffee mug with eight handles...

We'd really be getting somewhere.

The Voice That Resonates

 

The Voice That Resonates

By Cheryl Knoll

What Happens When the Soul’s Quietest Voice Finally Becomes Impossible to Ignore?

Some books offer answers. Others create enough stillness for readers to hear the answers already forming within them. Cheryl Knoll’s The Voice That Resonates belongs to the latter—a reflective collection that explores what can happen when the noise of fear, expectation, heartbreak, and ego begins to fade.

Blending poetic meditations with personal spiritual reflections, Knoll writes about the inner voice she understands as a divine presence rooted in love, wisdom, and truth. This voice is not presented as something loud or commanding. It appears through subtle realizations, moments of solitude, encounters with nature, emotional healing, and the gradual awakening of the soul.

At the heart of the book is expansive love—not simply romantic affection, but a healing force that moves inward and outward. Knoll considers love as a place of being, a source of light, and a connection to God and universal consciousness. Her reflections encourage readers to look beyond external approval and recognize the spiritual worth that already exists within them.

The collection is also remarkably honest about the obstacles along that path. Heartbreak, silence, longing, rejection, and the lingering habits of an empath’s ego are not hidden behind polished spiritual language. Instead, they become part of the awakening. Knoll examines how emotional attachment can disturb inner peace and how surrender, self-respect, and acceptance can restore it.

That emotional openness gives the book much of its character. Some passages feel like prayers. Others resemble conversations with the soul. Several carry the rhythm of poetry, while longer reflections explore identity, relationships, gratitude, solitude, spiritual consciousness, and the difference between the authentic self and the labels created by the ego.

Nature also becomes a quiet teacher throughout the book. Trees, birds, storms, flowers, light, water, and changing seasons reflect resilience and renewal. These familiar images make abstract spiritual ideas feel personal and accessible, especially for readers learning to recognize meaning in ordinary moments.

The Voice That Resonates may appeal to readers of spirituality, contemplative poetry, personal transformation, and faith-centered reflection. It is designed less as a book to rush through and more as one to revisit—a few pages at a time, with space afterward to consider what resonates.

For book lovers seeking a sincere exploration of love, awakening, and the soul’s quiet wisdom, Cheryl Knoll’s work offers a meaningful place to pause and listen.

Impossible to Say No: The Integration-Led Growth Playbook — Turn Partners Into Your Cheapest, Stickiest Growth Channel

Everyone thinks an integration means instant traffic. It doesn't.

You ship the integration, post the announcement, and wait for the flood of users. Nothing comes. Then a newer app pushes your listing down the partner's directory and even the trickle dries up.

Here's the truth almost nobody operationalizes: an integration isn't a feature you ship — it's a channel you operate. Run it right and it's the cheapest, stickiest growth channel you have. Customers who connect your product to their other tools churn dramatically less, and every integration a customer adopts is another root a competitor has to rip out.

Impossible to Say No is the execution manual for Integration-Led Growth (ILG) — written from the chair of the smaller vendor who thinks it's presumptuous to ask a bigger platform to promote them. (It isn't. You just have to do the homework.) Inside:

• Be impossible to integrate with — an API, docs, and an MCP server so partners (and AI agents) can plug in without a meeting.
• The Silver Platter — the full co-marketing enablement kit you hand your partner (positioning, co-branded landers, ads, demos, KB + support, offers, press, email, cinematic + UGC video) — and how to build it with AI in about an hour.
• The Grand-Slam Partner Offer — two offers (their customers and the partner) engineered to be impossible to refuse.
• Pick the right partners with a triage matrix, sell the champion inside the partner, and give first.
• Co-marketing that lasts — launch and evergreen; the mutual Slack "war room"; measuring integration-sourced revenue; and reviving dead integrations that quietly stopped sending traffic.

Part strategy, part field manual, part wake-up call — for founders, PLG operators, and partnership leaders who want the cheapest leads and the stickiest customers they'll ever get.

Stop shipping integrations and hoping. Start running the channel.
