A Fortunate Son: And Other Stories by Daniel J. Donoghue

A Fortunate Son: and Other Stories is a collection of stories written across decades of Daniel J. Donoghue's life-chronicling his journey from youth to the present day. As he has grown, so too has his writing, shaped by the challenges and transformations of life itself.

These slice-of-life narratives capture both the deeply personal and the universally human: love and loss, desire and regret, the weight of family, the scars of military life, and the quiet battles with mental illness. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, Donoghue explores the raw edges of experience-where tenderness and turmoil coexist.

From the dim glow of roadside bars to the silent ache of suburban mornings, no subject is too intimate or taboo. Painted with empathy and precision, these stories invite readers to confront the fragile beauty and painful truths of being human, and to see the shifting colors of their own lives reflected in the work.

Born in New York City and raised in northern New Jersey. Daniel has lived a life as varied as the stories he writes. After a colorful youth, he served in the US Navy, the Foreign Service and spent 20 years in the technology world

He’s the author of over 30 short stories, a novel “Gold in the Furnace”, a screenplay based on the novel and a play. He lives and writes in Santa Fe, NM

Death by Chaos by Renaii West

Tasha, Elizabeth, Dawn, and Miranda were the undisputed goddesses of their Southern California liberal arts college. With distinct talents, beauty, and accomplishments, each goddess appeared predestined to be forever traveling on that path called the Charmed Life. But, in a tragic twist of fate, just before graduation, a student is found murdered on campus. Suspicion falls in their midst, and one of them goes missing. Destinies are changed forever.

The case goes cold, and for the next two decades, secrets are kept and suspicions linger. And one of the four continues to be haunted by the chaos of that night and what followed. With an upcoming reunion, and an arrival of a stranger on a motorcycle bringing even more turmoil to her life, she believes the time is right to finally revisit the past, uncover the secrets, expose the truth and while she is at it, rekindle the lost passions of her roommates. To do this without and drawing the attention of those who wish the case to remain unsolved will require good acting, deception, and maybe a little divine intervention.

Renaii West has been writing and performing since childhood. She became a dramatic arts instructor in a performing arts program after earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, where she wrote and directed original productions. Today, she channels her creativity into crafting fun, often quirky characters who find themselves embroiled in unpredictable mysteries that demand quick thinking and courage. When not writing, Renaii enjoys mythology, class films , travel, belly dancing, ballroom dancing, yoga, jigsaw puzzles, and, of course, solving mysteries.

Ocean Oracle: What Seashells Reveal About Our True Nature by Michelle Hanson

Ocean Oracle was created by a woman who undeniably has discovered her life’s mission, so it is not surprising that Michelle is the name with which this author entered our Universe. Her innate sensitivity and the significant knowledge she has acquired from her lifelong study of her seashell partners make her uniquely qualified to be known as the “shell with the voice,” serving as their ambassador to the rest of the world. With her one-of-a-kind creation-and the help of the oceanic realm-Shelley has revolutionized the lives of everyone with whom she has come into contact. She has also designed a special online shell-reading certification program for those interested in learning the valuable lessons of the seashell kingdom, becoming versed in their language and sharing their wisdom with others.

Everyone remembers spending a day at the beach as a child collecting seashells, but what if those seashells were more than just pretty objects? What if those shells could actually tell you something about your hidden thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes? Ocean Oracle: What Seashells Reveal about Our True Nature is the bridge to learning this secret language. Simply put, seashells function as tools that enable us to speak with our subconscious, allowing the inner self to communicate the information it considers most valuable for our growth. By listening to the shells with the guidance of Ocean Oracle, you can tap into your own innate wisdom and joy.
