Agents Amiss and The Case of the Scandinavian Scallywag
by D.E. Steiner
Agent 314 and Agent 999 are back again to solve another case! In the third instalment of the Agents Amiss series, our protagonists, alongside their driver, Charles, head to Denmark to search for clues in the latest string of international murders. With little help, as usual, from Inventor 12, the agents are left to their own devices to discover the villain who continues to randomly kill Danish people. On an adventure that takes them not only to Denmark but also to the Faroe Islands, the challenge grows. Relying upon their own inadequate abilities, can Agents 314 and 999 solve the case of the Scandinavian Scallywag, or will the list of dying Danes continue to grow?

Reflections
Wisdom for the Young and Anyone Else Curious by Trevor R Shaw
Suddenly, here I am with most of my life in the rear-view mirror and not much road left ahead. I am wondering–ok, “What’s it all about, Alfie?” This is an attempt to answer that question and to leave something behind that might be of some use. At the age of seventy-eight, Trevor Shaw, a husband, father, and grandfather; an accountant; an auditor; a manager; a teacher; an artist; a photographer; and a student in the martial arts of Wing Chun and Tai Chi, reflects on life. From the personal to the political, from the micro to the macro, he discusses what he’s learned throughout his life and what he thinks of where we’re headed next. After a long life well lived, he offers wit and wisdom for some grounding in the escalating chaos of today’s world, along with what is needed for an individual to cope and for making the world a better place. Delivered in a highly readable, warm, sharply-communicated style with a voice that’s pleasant to encounter and a point of view that’s always thought provoking, Reflections is often not only helpful on a personal level but includes some highly cogent, well-informed, and incisive reflections on life in general, along with a frank analysis about where we’re headed next.

The Big Fire
by Steve Serbic
Goose is a fire dog, and that means it’s his job to help out when people are in trouble! Goose takes his job very seriously… but it can be scary, too. When Goose and the firefighters are called to a building fire, they realize it’s up to them to rescue a woman from her apartment. The firefighters come up with a plan, but they need extra help from Goose. Can this brave dog overcome his fear to help fight the fire and save the day? Goose the Fire Dog and the Big Fire is the first book in a series about a fire dog and the firefighters at his station. This inspiring story helps children build confidence when stepping out of their comfort zone, and reminds us that we can overcome anxiety and accomplish many things when we believe in ourselves and have the support of our peers.

When the Vibration Begins
by Sjahari Hollands
Most of the ancient myths and origin stories concur that before anything existed there was a vibration. A light. When I was 23, I was opened in Subud and began the Latihan, making a connection to what I believe to be that same vibration. My book is a collection of poems, reflections and life stories flowing from this experience.
