Rockabye and Epilotta, Santa's A-Team Elves, return once more with an Elfin-good adventure. The Season To Be Jolly is just around the corner, so they go on a whistle-stop tour of two of the toy factories to boost the morale of the labor-Elves.

Song of Stars

by

Rae D. Magdon

Sefina, a young orphan, studies music at the Temple of Dreams. She loves to sing with her best friend Mirae, but their voices aren’t the same. Mirae’s voice heals the sick while Sefina’s is ordinary. Unable to compete with Mirae’s miracles, Sefina longs for acknowledgment from Lady Lirath, their demanding music instructor. When their temple’s leader dies, Sefina must compete with Mirae for the position—not only against a miracle-worker, but the woman she loves.

Evil’s Echo

by

Jane Alden

To fully report the crimes and prove herself up to the opportunity, Butch must find the connection among the victims.
She partners with the striking NYPD detective Christine Carr to discover the link between the deaths of a judge, a billionaire, and a plastic surgeon.
