Paradise is full of missing people. But she’s the only one who realizes they’re gone.
Detective Lei Texeira and her dog, Keiki, transfer to the lush, tropical island of Kaua`i where she uncovers a pattern of disappearances that may be related to a bizarre cult — or is it just one madman at work?

He knows what he does is wrong… but he has to silence the voices.
He thought he’d finally find peace with this latest sacrifice, but there’s someone coming for him… and she’s getting way too close.

I awoke dead. It was a real bummer. Being covered in blood and having fangs was the icing on an already terrible day.

Things go from bad to worse when I get a summons to attend the vampire king’s court, where I get my marching orders. I’m given one lousy week to get my affairs in order and then I’m to present myself to the conclave to commence my hundred years of indentured servitude, where I get to learn Vampire 101.

The thing is, I have an eidetic memory and I’m a fast learner. It’s not going to take me a hundred years to grasp this stuff. And I have plans – mediocre ones, but they’re mine. One hundred years of servitude isn’t going to fit the bill.

I need to make my escape now, before they sink their teeth into me (again). The only problem is they’ve sent the vampire that turned me to keep a sharp eye on me, and he keeps looking at me like I’m a fine glass of merlot. Escape isn’t going to be easy.

My name may be Bunny, but they’re going to learn there’s nothing fluffy about me…

Can a beach bum rescue the dog, save billions of dollars, and get the girl?

Above all else, Letty detests liars. A good girl through and through, she’s always tried to walk a straight line, which hasn’t been easy given her father walked a crooked path that led him to prison.

Wes is attracted to Letty the moment he meets her. One of the things he loves about her is she thinks he’s just a beach bum working at the local hotel and she’s okay with him just as (she thinks) he is.

But when Betty the beagle gets kidnapped, the budding romance goes off the rails and Wes and Letty are forced to fess up to their lies and exaggerations before their problems (and beagles) get completely out of hand.

Now a New Yorker, the Pharaoh’s cat–the ancient Egyptian feline with human powers–travels back in time to free Egypt’s legendary Queen Nefertiti from a horrific curse, discovering firsthand why her mummy has never been found and her famous bust is missing one eye.

As in the first Pharaoh’s cat novel, the cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The Eye of Nefertiti also interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It too contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture. Added to all this is an ingenious use of the Tarot and Italian opera.

The cat is living happily in New York City with the High Priest, Elena, daughter of an Egyptologist, and their infant son, the cat’s beloved Pharaoh reincarnated, when the supernatural gradually intrudes in the form of phantasms, the plot of an Italian opera, a Tarot card reading, and an unexpected summons to present-day Bath Spa disguised as an opportunity for Elena.

She and the little Pharaoh travel conventionally while the cat and the High Priest take the little boat they use for time travel and are diverted to ancient Stonehenge for a brief stop-over. The figure at the center of their encounter with the Druids has been prefigured in the cat’s phantasms, the Italian opera, and the Tarot reading, all his uncanny experiences being in accord with a single design.

Reunited with Elena and the infant Pharaoh in Bath, the cat and the High Priest discover a secret tomb below the Georgian house where they are staying, and are soon impelled to journey to ancient Egypt in the time of Queen Nefertiti to save her from a horrific curse. They become separated as they search for Nefertiti and the cat has several adventures before finding her on his own.

He undertakes an ingenious deception to stay close to her without revealing his identity. Being so close, he falls in love with her. He succeeds in lifting the horrific curse at great cost to himself. Despite his love, he surrenders Nefertiti to history and, mourning his loss, descends into a psychological abyss so deep only the Pharaoh can save him.

Maria Luisa Lang was born in Rome and lives in New York City. She has an art degree and is an amateur Egyptologist. The Pharaoh’s Cat is her first novel, The Eye of Nefertiti her second.

Unveil the secrets of your body and mind – transform your life with the power of somatic therapy!

Have you ever felt disconnected from your own body, as if it’s a stranger to you?

Do emotions sometimes hit you out of nowhere, leaving you overwhelmed or numb?

Are you tired of traditional therapies that focus only on your mind, ignoring the powerful language of your body?

Life has a way of throwing challenges at you, and sometimes it can feel like your mind and body are working against each other. You try to rationalize and think your way out of problems, only to find yourself stuck in the same patterns. Patterns that are rooted in past experiences, traumas, and emotions that were never fully processed or released.

You start to think that maybe you’re the problem. That you’re flawed or broken. You think if you could just figure out where these emotions are coming from, you could fix yourself and finally feel whole.

But here’s the truth: You are not broken. And the answers you seek are not solely in your mind – they are stored within your body.

That’s where somatic therapy comes in. Somatic therapy is a holistic approach that recognizes the deep connection between your mind and body and works to restore balance and healing by integrating both.
