Posted By Leave a Comment

A shaky resolution.
A sacrifice that overwhelms.
A battle beyond realms.

The end is approaching for Hamilton Dinger and his friends.

As the forces of darkness in Apollo City gain power, Hamilton finds himself on trial as the media, the law, and even his friends seem to have turned on him. The souls of the city—and the world—are on the line as the long-fought war against Alküzor, Draco, and the Seven Deadly Sinisters comes to a crux with SWORD, Wingdinger, and the forces of Adonaias.

With Elysian and Starry Knight by his side, Hamilton must face the harder truths and complicated answers found only in the challenges of life and the surprising power of love.

But can his heart survive such an outpouring?

FROM THE BOOK:

She’ll die if she keeps fighting.

I had to do something.

With my free hand, I reached over and drew her close to me. I kissed her, fervently hoping that it wouldn’t be our last, even as I feared it would be.

“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.”

Leia Hamilton can move things and set them on fire with her mind.

Leia’s father and step-mother tried to hide their past: a time when they were part of a team of superheroes. But despite being disbanded for over 20 years following a series of tragedies, their problems were passed to their children, and Leia finds that her future collides with their past.

In the diverse world of human and superhuman, heroes and villains, friends and enemies, some of Leia’s choices have terrible consequences. For Leia, this leads to a personal crossroads and a search for redemption.

Not your normal superhero novel, Mindfire isn’t about secret identities, costumes, or evil plots endangering the world. Instead, self-discovery and adaptation is at the forefront as the listener follows the lives of the characters who are unafraid to show love and explore spirituality.

Can redemption and renewed grace weather the flames of absolute power and superhuman strength?

When she returns home from the hospital after a near-death experience, she realizes the door to the spirit world remained open… wide open. Now she hears voices, sees things that are not there. These aren’t any voices. The murder victims of her Department’s cold cases are haunting her. As Katie navigates the waters of being a medium, she discovers her skills go beyond channeling murder victim Sarah Alexander’s account of her horrific murder and the murder of her two children, much more. Katie finds that she is also able to see through dimensions into a parallel world. Katie receives unexpected help with her current case from her doppelgänger P-Kate. With the aid of P-Kate, she learns to stream Sarah’s consciousness, her memories, her very soul.

Katie thinks channeling Sarah will close out her cold case in record time. She is dead wrong. Things are not what they seem. It made matters worse. Now she has two suspects. Nothing about the investigation is clear-cut. It turns out that a dead person’s memory of the events can be as flawed as the living. The testimony does not match the evidence.
