They take his RV to a tiny town in rural Missouri that's filled with odd characters and darker secrets. But Vicky has secrets of her own. She believes this kidnapped girl may be linked to a case she reported on nine years ago, when a mystery child was found walking on levee, bloody and unable to speak. Back then, Vicky failed to follow up clues only she knew. Now, she has a chance to redeem herself. As she uncovers secrets, it becomes clear someone will kill to keep them hidden.

About the Author

ML Barrs ran TV newsrooms for years, guiding and managing the content and production of more than eight hours of live newscasts a day.

In her debut novel, Parallel Secrets, protagonist Vicky Robeson shares that kind of experience as well as the author’s passion for justice, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of children and other vulnerable people.

ML Barrs grew up one of thirteen children—the first girl, with three older brothers—a birth order she believes shaped her essence by the time she was eight. A girl’s gotta be a bit pugnacious to get along in that environment. Amid the chaos of fourteen people living in a mobile home (not a double-wide), she turned fifteen, dropped out of school and ran away from home.

Being homeless, then working minimum wage jobs quickly grew old. She earned her GED and went to college, where she met and married the father of their two grown children. After a successful career as a television news director and general manager, she decided that what she really wanted to do is write mysteries. Parallel Secrets will be published September 2023, and its sequel is in the works.

Tour Wrap Up: A Journey to Love by Mieke Vulink

A Holy Quest in the South of France

Nonfiction › Body, Mind & Spirit › Angels & Spirit Guides

Date Published: September 8, 2023 (tentative)

Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing

This book is a heart-warming, personal account of a Holy Grail Journey and the awakening to the inner guidance from the Light World. The reader is transported to other dimensions that go far beyond to what is accessible with our limited human thinking. From a heightened state of consciousness, the author meets essential parts of herself and her ancient connections with Yeshua, Mary Magdalene and the Holy Family become clear. Held by all aspects of love, you will find precious messages here that will encourage you on your own, inner and divine Journey to Love.

Early Reviews for this book

“In this touching and direct personal narrative, the reader accompanies Mieke and Eva on a transformational journey through geographical spaces of the Cathar country and back in time to revisit ancient resonances of spiritual truth that can be reborn in our time as a new awareness of the sacred, and especially of the key role of Mary Magdalene in early Christianity. It is an inspiring message of love for our time and a reminder of our perennial quest for wisdom and understanding.”

David Lorimer, author and editor, paradigm explorer and programme director, Scientific and Medical Network, France

“This book is a beautiful, very pure account of a special journey with Mieke and her daughter Eva. Reading it took me to deeper layers of myself and the environment I live in, Cathar country, to layers that I somewhere knew existed, but that could now come to the surface and are oh, so precious. Through reading Mieke’s book I’ve been able to make an even deeper connection to the Christ-consciousness and inner guidance, for which I’m deeply grateful. Our cooperation has been a real gift.”

Marianne van Mierlo, Dutch to English translator, France

“Mieke has been guided from deep within her soul to share her sacred journey through ‘A Journey to Love’. The beauty of her spirit shines through her sacred sharing and is taking us into higher dimensions from within a place of light. The magic of this book is that it opens up the reader to experience the mystical journey of the ancient power of Mary Magdalene and Jesus and the Beloved union of their souls that calls us home to love, in these modern times of uncertainty. As all mystical teachings, this book helps you to discover the true power of the Holy Grail and the holy source of Divine forces awakening within your heart. Prepare for a journey to love without limits and a lif- transforming experience.”

Judith K. Moore, Oracle of the Records of Creation, United Kingdom

About the Author

Mieke Vulink was born in 1962 in the Netherlands. As a highly-sensitive child, the piano was a perfect instrument for Mieke to express her feelings and inner knowledge of harmony and sound. Her first earthly career was in music, as a concert pianist, piano teacher and composer. During Music Highschool, she discovered another interesting world of: sound healing and spirituality.

As a result of her own inner work, and the fine-tuning of her sensitivity, intuition and clairsentience, her connections with ascended masters and higher dimensions became stronger. She has dedicated her life to the esoteric, mystical, sacred knowledge and initiation pathways. Self-healing from everyone's own Source can be realised, while walking the path of the soul!

As a Lightworker, she started to receive callings to special, sacred places on Earth, for activations and coding integration. She went to Germany, Poland, Malta; Gozo, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Sicily, Great Britain and Scotland / Iona, Italy, Spain and France. After the first journey to southern France, her first book was born!

Mieke is a therapist and teacher in transformation and self-realisation; a teacher of essential healing; consciousness coach; a clairsentient medium; author; lightworker; and musician.

Tour Wrap Up: Future Imperfect by Babette Gallard

Speculative Fiction / Cli Fi

Date Published: Oct 2023

Publisher: BAD PRESS iNK

It’s 2050 and climate change catastrophe isn’t the future... it’s now. And climate refugees aren’t other people... it’s you.

The streets are a spider’s web of new tributaries. Everything is underwater. Don’t worry about us, but nothing is the same anymore.

It’s 2050 and the River Rhône has flooded the town of Arles in France so Helen and Isha leave to join their adopted daughter Jana and eleven-month-old granddaughter Ayo in England.

But at Calais, they find that if Isha crosses the Channel, she will be immediately deported as her grandparents were Ugandan-Asian. Faced with the terrible dilemma, Helen chooses to remain with Isha.

Homeless and now stateless, they decide to seek refuge in a friend’s Swiss mountain chalet, but to avoid immigration checkpoints they have to walk, following the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome, and now the preferred escape corridor for refugees fleeing climate catastrophes.

Horrified at her parents embarking on such a dangerous journey, Jana resolves to follow. However, this is not so easy.

They communicate whenever and however they can while battling with exhaustion, terror, and virulent xenophobia as people struggle to protect their increasingly scarce resources.

The journey ends in Parma, Italy, a perfect destination for reasons they could never have imagined.

Praise for Future Imperfect

"Future Imperfect is a thought-provoking and timely book that explores a not-too-distant future where environmental changes and social divisions have reshaped society… It will make you reflect on the choices we make today and the impact they will have on our future."

International Executive Director of Greenpeace International 2009-2015

Secretary General of Amnesty International 2018-2020

"an incredibly good read… both deeply personal and political, it will become part of the canon climate novels."

About the Author

After clambering up and falling through a 20m roof at school (avoiding lessons), breaking several significant bones, Babette’s equestrian career was over until her mother suggested she continue with the safer art of dressage-riding. For this, she trained in Germany and rode professionally, but after 4 years, she returned to the UK to, as she said, grow up. She took and passed three A levels and then a Humanities degree, and with these survived as a freelance journalist and TV researcher in Bristol until she met her husband, became a hippy and got pregnant. Wanting a better life for their daughter, they decided to live off the land in Portugal, which worked for a few years.

Meanwhile, she wrote anything and everything, fiction, non-fiction, some published, some lucrative, some not, including young adult novels and accounts of her 1000km journeys along St James Way and Via Francigena on horseback. With her third husband, Babette manages their publishing company for the LightFoot guides.

Babette was born in Shropshire but has lived and worked long-term in seven countries, including on a boat and in a jungle. Now living in Johannesburg, in 2022, she received her Masters degree in Creative Writing from the University of Witwatersrand and is currently preparing for an English doctorate at Stellenbosch University, where she will undoubtedly be the oldest but most enthusiastic student.
