The Warmth of Snow

Heidi Eljarbo

How to thaw the count's frozen heart?

Sweden 1810.
August Brandell, the count of Linborg, has returned home after four years of Napoleonic wars. Wounded and downtrodden, he is a meager shadow of the man he used to be.
One day, a lovely young woman comes calling. She’s strong and bright and, unlike the rest, seems unaffected by his wealth and unfortunate disability. He soon discovers he wants more than a sweet friendship, but a life of caring for him would not be fair to such a beautiful soul. He loves her and secretly wants her to stay, but he cannot and will not ask such a sacrifice from her…especially not when it’s out of pity for him.

Meeting Count Brandell changes Erica Ebbesdotter’s entire world. Falling for him is utterly unexpected. Soon, he fills her heart, but he is far above her station. How can a man like him see beyond her less refined clothes and past? Worst of all, he is already betrothed.

This is a sweet and wholesome historical romance—a hauntingly beautiful tale of two hearts meant to be together.

The London Forgery

Eljarbo, Heidi

What happened to Mr. and Mrs. Andrews?

Come back to the nostalgia of the groovy seventies and the classical Georgian era of the eighteenth century.

1973. A mysterious note is delivered to the National Gallery in London, and the director immediately calls Norwegian art historian Fabiola Bennett. One of her favorite portraits is in trouble. Fabiola hops on the first plane and meets up with her vibrant side-kick Pippa Yates and the ever-loyal Detective Inspector Cary Green from New Scotland Yard. But she is not naïve enough to think untangling the purpose and meaning of the mysterious note will be as simple as a walk in Hyde Park. These things never are.

1750. Newly married Robert and Frances Andrews, members of the landed gentry of Suffolk, England, hire young and talented Thomas Gainsborough to paint their wedding portrait.

Even the looming clouds in the dis

Barnum's Angel

Boswell, Len

Lily was no angel. She was something . . . OTHER

To some, Lily was just a beautiful little girl. To others, she was a freakish albino who ate live chickens in a freak show. Charles Darwin called her his impossible girl and tried in vain to classify her. P. T. Barnum called her his angel and tried to take advantage of her.

But the creature Barnum thought to turn into a money-making feature attraction is neither girl nor angel. She is something other, a species of unimaginable abilities, with the power to destroy—or save —our world. The power is hers alone, but only the strange blood coursing through her veins will decide when and how to unleash a power she struggles every day to control.

From the cold, barren shores of Tierra del Fuego and the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle to the bustling crowds of Victorian London, Lily's story—and her quest—unfolds in a thrilling historical fantasy for all ages from award-winning author Len Boswell.

Weathering the Storm

Bennett, Paul

Book 7 of The Mallory Saga

The relationship between Ethan Mallory and the Shawnee leader Tecumseh reaches its conclusion in The War of 1812. The war brings many changes to the Mallory clan as the unstoppable march of white settlements in the Northwest Territory creates stormy conditions and drama.

What a wonderful new addition to the unique "Mallory Saga"! Against the backdrop of global conflict, Bennett spins an intimate tale of the individuals trapped on the fault lines. Grand politics and personal tragedy; great wars and personal feuds; Emerging nations and ancient tribes. A masterpiece!" Gordon Doherty

There are metaphors that say, books are keys to our imagination. Or a book is a device to ignite said imagination. If that is so, with this book as well as his previous six in the Mallory Saga, Paul Bennett has unlocked many doors, and for this reader, a countless number of them. Mr. Bennett is a true story teller. He made my mind soar. Ommadawn Reviews

The Jagged Mountains - Jack's Tale

Bennett, Paul

Book 6 of The Mallory Saga

Jack Mallory is on a quest to learn more about the father he barely knew, Liam Mallory. Along with his Mohawk companion, Hosagowwa, he travels to the farthest reaches of the northern Rocky Mountains experiencing life with the many indigenous tribes. His tale is one of discovery and danger; wondrous beauty and extreme weather, love, and loss.

I purchased this book the first day it was available and finished it 2 days later. It is a wonderful book that is very hard to put down and I hated for it to end. Looking forward to the next book! Janet English Donaldson


"Haunting, immersive, and brilliant. Paul Bennett has made this genre his own. The prose is enviably marvelous." Gordon Doherty – author of Empires of Bronze & Legionary

A Turbulent Beginning - 1788-1795

Bennett, Paul

Book 5 of The Mallory Saga

The Revolution is over, and a new nation has emerged from the ashes of war. The new government, leery of a powerful central government, learns quite quickly the folly of state legislatures controlling military operations, abandoning The Articles of Confederation to write The Constitution.
More lessons are learned by this second attempt when they discover that the indigenous tribes along the Ohio were more than a match for militia troops. It is time for President Washington and his War Secretary Henry Knox to come up with a better plan to pacify the warring tribes.
The Mallory clan is spread out from the Congaree River in South Carolina to the Wabash River in the Northwest Territory. The desire to be together again is stronger than the fear of traveling through a war zone. They are once again in the middle of the storm…Can they survive?…Can they make a difference?
