ETHAN'S PRESENCE:

How One Child Changed A Forgotten Life

Some people spend their whole lives waiting to be seen. Anna Miller stopped waiting a long time ago.

For more than fifty years, Anna has lived in the shadow of a Christmas Eve tragedy that changed her small southern town forever. Forgotten by her neighbors and worn down by loss, she has quietly accepted that she will spend the rest of her days alone.

Then a five-year-old boy named Ethan rides his fire truck down Willow Street and notices the one person everyone else overlooked.

This is not just another entry in the world of Christian fiction books. Ethan's Presence is a heartwarming work of Christian fiction, based on a true story, and unlike most books about grief, it doesn't leave you in the dark, it gently carries you toward hope.

Inside, you'll discover:

• A woman carrying the weight of a Christmas Eve tragedy for over fifty years
• A five-year-old boy who sees the person an entire town forgot
• An unlikely friendship that bridges generations and softens old wounds
• A quiet southern town slowly changed by simple, unwavering compassion
• A journey from isolation toward hope, purpose, and second chances

Set in a close-knit town at Christmastime, this is Christian Christmas fiction with real emotional weight, one of those rare Christmas fiction books that feels less like reading and more like remembering something true.

Written with the tenderness of the best inspirational books, Chaplain Tom McQueen tells a moving story of faith, friendship, forgiveness, and grace.

It's perfect for readers who love heartfelt southern fiction, uplifting feel good books, and moving true story books.

And it belongs beside the finest religious fiction, inspirational and religious books, and Christian inspirational books, stories that remind us the greatest gift we can offer another person is simply our presence.

If you loved The Shack or The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Ethan's Presence will stay with you long after the final page.

Ethan's Presence isn't just a book you read. It's a story that quietly reminds you what matters.

Begin reading today. Sometimes hope arrives when you least expect it.

The Witness

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU COULD SEE HIM.

Maren Voss takes things out of rooms for a living. From a spare bedroom in Van Nuys she lassoes laundry baskets and single running shoes out of real-estate photos, until each house looks like nobody was ever sad there. In a rental in Glendale, in the middle of June, she takes out a long wool coat hanging on the back of a door.

Her sister Nat sat in their mother's hospital room for five weeks. Maren came twice, and the second time she left at four in the afternoon for a delivery. She still hasn't called Nat back.

On the drive home she stops at an empty red light. Across the road, in a bank drive-through, a man is standing with his arms at his sides. The clearance bar crosses him at the chest. It reads 8 FT 6 IN.

He is looking at her.

"Looking's free," a stranger tells her through the glass.

His face is the one Nat wore in that room, sorry and settled in to stay until it's over.

Book one of a trilogy.

Murder at the Shore

Robert Louis Rodgers

2nd Edition – Now Available (2026)

Windemere Bay is a peaceful summer resort at the New Jersey Shore, where families return year after year for sun, swimming, and relaxation. For twenty-year-old college student Alex Rhodes, it’s supposed to be the perfect escape—lazy beach days with friends, a summer job at the local supermarket, and the hope of finally asking out Grace, the new cashier who catches his eye. Then the notes appear. On the Fourth of July, identical typed messages turn up in every mailbox: “SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE TONIGHT.” Most people laugh it off as a sick prank. Until the assistant groundskeeper is found floating lifeless in the resort pool the next morning. The police rule it an accident. Alex isn’t convinced. When a second body turns up—and then a third—the pattern becomes impossible to ignore. As more cryptic warnings appear, the idyllic resort begins to feel like a trap, and Alex realizes someone at Windemere Bay may be hiding a deadly secret. With the body count rising, Alex and his tight circle of friends race to uncover the truth before another life is taken. In a close-knit summer community where everyone knows your name, the killer could be anyone. Murder at the Shore is an atmospheric whodunit blending small-town secrets, summer nostalgia, amateur sleuthing, and escalating danger along the Jersey Shore. The first book in the Windemere Bay Mysteries series. This 2nd Edition features smoother pacing, a revised ending, updated formatting, and a new cover.

Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags

A Supernatural Dark Comedy by Thomas L. Vaultonburg

In Rookford, Illinois, the dead aren't the only ones keeping secrets. Thomas L. Vaultonburg's Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags is a darkly comic supernatural novel combining occult mystery, institutional corruption, social satire, and the peculiar absurdities of life in the American Midwest. Kitten Killswitch arrives from Chicago's industrial music scene with a past she'd rather forget. At The Collective, Juniper Michaels turns charitable work into public sainthood, while cultural director Nancy McConaughey discovers that protecting an arts community can mean protecting the very people who threaten it. As reputations are manufactured and uncomfortable truths disappear, Elias Mort and Janelle Montclair pursue unfinished accounts through a city where influence reaches far beyond the gallery walls. Belial feeds on disorder, the dead resist convenient explanations, and justice comes with consequences nobody particularly wants to face. Funny, unsettling, irreverent, and occasionally tender, Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags explores what happens when a community becomes more concerned with appearing virtuous than actually doing good. Newly revised for 2026, the novel has been polished and reintroduced for a new generation of readers. About the Author: Thomas L. Vaultonburg is a Rockford, Illinois-based poet, novelist, and independent publisher. He founded Zombie Logic Press, edits Zombie Logic Review, and co-founded Wolf Twin Books. His writing encompasses supernatural fiction, poetry, haiku, literary criticism, and Midwestern cultural history. Learn more about the author and his work at Zombie Logic Press.

IOH: GODCODE

If memory can be rewritten, evidence can be erased, and death is no longer final, who controls the truth?

After twenty years frozen in digital darkness, Algus awakens inside the System—a quantum civilization where consciousness survives death. He has a new body, fractured memories, and no idea why he was hidden for two decades. Then he learns that Agrom City is gone. Fifty million people vanished with it, including the daughter whose face survives only in fragments.

To uncover what happened, Algus must descend into Deepweb cities, reunite a hacker team broken by distrust, and follow evidence leading through artificial intelligence, corporate empires, and a cyberwar born in the physical world. But every answer raises a more dangerous question: who destroyed Agrom—and why did someone wait twenty years to wake him?

GODCODE is Book One of the IOH trilogy—a cinematic cyberpunk mystery thriller set in a corporate dystopian future where a body can be replaced, a life can be priced, and the promise of eternity belongs to those who control the machinery.

What begins as a memory loss mystery opens into an artificial intelligence conspiracy that binds a father's grief to the fate of millions. Algus needs the people he once trusted, but their secrets could make the truth harder to bear than his missing memories.

Blending digital consciousness science fiction with the urgency of a hacker cyberwar thriller, GODCODE explores a digital immortality dystopia where survival offers no guarantee of freedom. To challenge its rulers, Algus must confront the cost of their power—and the choices he is willing to make to bring them down.

Enter the System but do not trust any of your memories.
