When Humboldt Yolo Stanislaus IV, a young recent graduate of Fool's Gold Community College, stumbles across a mysterious bottle on a Bermuda beach that contains a crude handwritten map, his life is about to change. The map depicts an uncharted island in the Atlantic Ocean. Humby sends a photo to the Library of Congress, which informs the US Department of State. The US government, extremely cognizant of cybersecurity, decides this island would be a perfect secret location to hide a backup microchip containing all military secrets. However, the device needs to be delivered without suspicion. Humby proudly accepts the assignment of traveling to the island as an official representative of his country, but he doesn't know he's on a secret mission. Shocking events and revelations await Humby upon his arrival. The fascinating people, their bizarre history, and their desperate aspirations depend upon him. Humby must overcome the enormous obstacles thrown in his path, including an elusive mouse that snores.

An ordinary Danish Christmas turns extraordinary when a family overlooks an important folkloric tradition. Christmas has come, and with it a sparkling white winterfrost over the countryside. But twelve-year-old Bettina’s parents have been called away unexpectedly, leaving her in charge of the house, the farm, and baby Pia. In all the confusion, Bettina’s family neglects to set out the traditional bowl of Christmas rice pudding for the tiny nisse who are rumored to look after the family and their livestock. No one besides her grandfather ever believed the nisse were real, so what harm could there be in forgetting this silly custom? But when baby Pia disappears during a nap, the magic of the nisse makes itself known. To find her sister and set things right, Bettina must venture into the miniature world of these usually helpful, but sometimes mischievous folk. A delightful winter adventure for lovers of the legendary and miraculous.

God’s will be done. After eleven years as a priest living by these words, Father Antonio Molinari never imagined who would teach his strongest lesson of faith―a vampire. As a member of a secret order within the Vatican, he investigates and debunks supernatural events. A case of possession brings him to the French countryside, where two local clergy offer him the chance of a lifetime. They claim to have captured a vampire, and beg his expertise in helping them study the fiend. When their monster turns out to be a little girl, cursed to spend eternity hiding from the sun, he cannot bring himself to destroy her. The priests, mistaking his compassion for diabolism, panic, and his efforts to protect an innocent child prove fatal. He awakes caught between light and darkness. Hunted by the Church he once served as well as the fiends he once destroyed, Father Molinari clings to his faith there is still room for him in God’s plan. But God is quiet, and the darkness tempting.
