Book Blitz: The Great Inversion by Jordi ter Woord @RABTBookTours

Social Science / Media Studies; Technology & Society; Philosophy / Ethics & Moral Philosophy; Popular Philosophy; Artificial Intelligence & Society; Cultural Theory; Attention Economy

Date Published: July 1, 2026

For ten thousand years, ideas needed human minds to copy themselves forward. That has ended.

The Great Inversion is a trade non-fiction book about the moment culture stops needing us as its bottleneck. From ancient stories and print culture to algorithmic feeds and generative AI, Jordi ter Woord traces how ideas learn to survive, why the mirror of the internet feels so personal, and what remains human when creation becomes cheap.

This is not a digital-detox book. It is a book about attention as the one act the machine cannot perform for us.

About the Author

 

Jordi ter Woord is a Dutch writer, solution architect and IT lead with a background in philosophy and artificial intelligence. He has spent much of his working life close to the systems that move information through organisations, and much of his private life wondering what those systems do to the people who live inside them.

His non-fiction debut, The Great Inversion, is about the moment culture stops needing human beings as its bottleneck. From ancient memory and print culture to algorithmic feeds and generative AI, it asks what remains human when creation becomes cheap and attention becomes the expensive side of the transaction.

Jordi also writes Whimsical Weather, a children's weather-adventure series about Cloudy, storms, patience, migration and letting go. He lives in the Netherlands with his partner and daughter.

Ann Audrey Mystery, Book 2

Cozy Mystery / Mystery & Detective

Date Published: 06-30-2026

Publisher: Mission Point Press

Murder Is the Ultimate Power Move

When a beautiful Atlanta woman is widowed twice under suspicious circumstances, Ann Audrey Pickering finds herself drawn—once again—into someone else’s trouble.

A former lawyer who once helped the FBI convict her own husband for fraud, Ann Audrey has settled into a reclusive life, until her longtime friend Flynn Reynolds asks for help. His elderly aunts are convinced that another nephew was murdered by his wife, Kathryn, whose second husband is now also dead. Ann Audrey is skeptical. Still, she owes Flynn, and there are some odd questions. Complicating matters is Kathryn’s latest mother-in-law, a woman who rose from an impoverished background into Atlanta’s upper circles and recognizes a kindred spirit in her dead son’s ambitious widow. She doesn’t believe Kathryn is a murderer—but she has heard rumors, and she wants them stopped.

Set in Atlanta in January 2000, as the city buzzes with anticipation for the upcoming Super Bowl, Ann Audrey searches for the black widow through the city’s frenetic bar scene, private clubs, high-rise offices, and beloved local institutions like Mary Mac’s Tea Room and The Varsity. With help from Flynn and her friend Theo, along with the return of sexy detective Mike Bristol, she pieces together a twisting story of social climbing, carefully managed appearances, marriage, and murder. As the Super Bowl kickoff draws near, the case reaches a climax when an ice storm shuts down Atlanta’s roads and power, leaving secrets and murderers with nowhere to hide.

 

Interview with Winnie Simpson

Author of Death and the Social Climber  

Could you tell us about any research trips you took for this story? Which places did you visit, and what made them essential to your writing?

Because this Ann Audrey mystery is set in Atlanta at the turn of the Millenium, I visited locations that were thriving (or deserted) at that time. For example, Underground Atlanta actually does lie under the current street level, and over decades it has changed from a thriving nightlife scene to a creepy, aging tourist trap. I needed a creepy place for a meeting between Ann Audrey and Oliver, a hulking, suspicious character. I also visited the former Bellwood Quarry, now a beautiful park, but at the time of the book an abandoned pit quarry perfect for dumping a body. On the fun side, I loved to visit restaurants and bars that Ann Audrey frequents in this book—especially The Varsity with its car hops and Mary Mac’s Tea Room, an Atlanta icon. What Ann Audrey and her companions order at these food stops is part of how I develop their character.

What's the strangest thing you've ever had to research online for your book?

I don’t know if you’d consider this strange, but it was not my usual search. For the first Ann Audrey mystery Whipped Cream & Piano Wire, many of the suspects were veterans of the Vietnam War. For one of the scenes, I researched tiger traps, a deadly booby trap used by the Viet Cong. It consisted of a concealed, deep pit filled with sharpened bamboo punji sticks, and men who fell into them were horribly injured. The description of coating the spikes with animal dung or bacteria laden material won’t go away.

What research (history, mythology, science) goes into your world-building?

Although the turn of the Millenium doesn’t seem that long ago, in terms of technology it’s a vast space. Mobile phones are a good example: in the 1990’s people started carrying a mobile phone, no longer tethered to a land line, but those phones were just that— not smart phones, which didn’t begin to be used for another decade. I’ve researched the brands of phone (the Motorola flip top was popular) and how people were using them. Other research involves fashion. Ann Audrey’s best friend Theo is a wealthy fashionista, so I research what designers were considered the top of the line for clothing, handbags, shoes, even perfume, in order to outfit Theo consistent with her character and the time period.

Have any of the people you've known, past or present, left a lasting impression on your writing journey? If so, we'd love to hear about a memorable experience that stands out to you.

I’ll have to dodge this question. There are so many people who’ve made an impression on me, and there isn’t time or space to pick one.

Do you write in the same genre all the time?

No. I’m in the middle of writing a contemporary mystery where one of the detectives is a ghost, a former psychiatrist from the early 1900’s. His POV has been fun to work with, contrasted with his partner—a very contemporary woman with 21st century attitudes about men, sex, life choices.

Which character, supernatural or human, do you enjoy writing the most and why?

I love the “out-of-place” characters the most. I know Ann Audrey, her circle of friends and their upper class urban milieu intimately, so I relish the chance to spend time with an intimidating six-and-a-half-foot-tall gangster, or a crafty old woman living alone in a backwater town in Appalachia, or a former Vietnam War sergeant who appears to have gone feral. Once I start writing those characters and they’re unspooling for me their layered stories, time flies. That’s the fun stuff about being an author.

Review Tour + #Giveaway: Golems of Beithir (The Chronicles of Hadúr #2) by Michal Snaerravn @GoddessFish

GOLEMS OF BEITHIR

by Michal Snaerravn

GENRE: Dark Fantasy

Blurb:

Amnon returns in the second volume of The Chronicles of Hadúr: The Golems of Beithir. The Blood Wars have begun as the races fight for control of Hell's Gate. Beithir is no longer alone, and the full power of the Druid Council now stands behind him to tighten the Druids' grip on the region. Beithir has been assigned one final task: eliminate the Demonblood Amnon. He will draw on the Dark Assassins and forbidden powers as he battles the Dark Gods shielding young Amnon…

Purchase Golems of Beithir on Amazon

Excerpt:

“I tell you it is He—Haddak Ura! Lord of the Armies, you must see that!” Cathair’s voice thundered through Magra’s Council Chamber as he smashed his fist into his open palm, his Lycan side feeding off the angry emotions. I was surprised to hear that the appellation of the mines was the same as the one attributed me, but it made sense. The power of the Hell’s Gate would be controlled by the mine itself, and by the one leading the dark forces that came through … was that me?!

“Amnon is an heir of Hellgard, and he can unite the region again, before it is too late!” Cathair pointed to me, and I immediately felt like shrinking into nothing.

He was unshakably convinced that I had to ascend Hellgard’s throne and lead the four cities, Byzen, Hellgard, Magra and Port Kara, against the Druids— though he had no concrete plan on how to accomplish the impossible. There had been no Deimos ruler of the region for centuries, and even if the throne was resurrected, the number of families claiming royal blood was prohibitive of reaching an agreement on choosing an emperor. Cathair insisted that a religious leader could unite them, but how was that possible with the diversity in the cults? Magra was the center of the Freesmiths, Byzen of the cult of the All-Seeing Eye, and Hellgard had not just one, but two powerful cults: those of Asmodeus, or Ashmedei as the ancients called him, and Ashtoreth. Port Kara on the other hand, was a lawless and confusing jumble of atheism and rampant sects.

My Review:

Golems of Beithir is the second installment and an excellent continuation of The Chronicles of Hadúr series by Michal Snaerravn. This book presents a highly engaging and enthralling narrative that kept me engrossed as I eagerly awaited the upcoming battles.

I found myself unable to turn the pages as quickly as I desired. I could visualize each battle as if I were actively involved, which made the story even more incredibly enriching.

The story features various races, including Druids, Trolls, Lycans, Elfbloods, Ogrebloods, Demonbloods, and many others. A fierce war rages on — a struggle for dominance over Hell’s Gate — involving numerous factions.

I am eager to explore more of this fascinating world within The Chronicles of Hadúr for further enlightening experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Golems of Beithir to anyone who appreciates captivating epic fantasies! Be sure to obtain a copy of Golems of Beithir today!

About the Author:

Michal Snaerravn continues on his journey as an explorer of his book writing soul whenever he is not answering the call of the great outdoors. He believes that every prose, song, or poetry we create captures a snippet of our souls. Having grown so much from completing the second book of the trilogy, Golems of Beithir, he is enthralled with the creation of the closing volume, Mist of Akhlys. "Life is too short to idly sit by: pursue your dreams as if your life depended on it. It does."

Books and adventures are meant to be shared—onward and upward!

The epic fantasy opens with “Curse of Ashmedei,” seen through the eyes of Amnon, a young Demonblood hunting for the Druids that killed his parents. He crosses paths with a Company led by powerful Druids and becomes snared in a web of treacherous alliances. His enemies are constantly one step ahead, and only the aid of Cathair, an ancient Lycan who has lost his humanity saves him from death at the hands of Druids, Trollbloods, Trolls, Orcons and their allies. In “Golems of Beithir,” Amnon closes in on his nemesis—Beithir, a powerful Master Druid with dark powers from Hell’s Gate. Beithir stalks Amnon’s every step in efforts to eliminate him and his allies, forcing the young Demonblood to side with the Trolls as they battle the Druids for control of the Hellgard Empire. “The Mist of Akhlys” culminates the trilogy as Amnon confronts his inner self and questions his values of revenge as he is taunted by lust and love…

The release of “Mist of Akhlys” will be followed by a short, free TTRPG Campaign that follows popular structures and mechanics. “The Staff of Amdren” will set in the Hellgard Empire, led by the fearless Warlord Dornoll. Beta testing for Game Masters is available on the author’s website.

The Tale of Ol' Split Toe

Action and Adventure Fantasy for teens

Date Published: 03-31-2026

Narrator: Dan Ellens

Run Time: 10 hours 6 minutes

Mother Nature struggles to maintain equilibrium in a changing world while fire, disease, logging, human displacement, and war repeatedly destroy forests of centuries-old trees. Split Toe, a deer chosen at birth for a unique education, travels through time to understand the interconnected workings of a Michigan forest. He meets humans along the way: Ice Age hunters who trap and kill a mastodon; Mukwoh, a young Ojibwe hunter who stalks Split Toe through swamp and forest; loggers clearcutting Michigan’s white pines; Edra, a woman advocating for the trees; Angus and Grace, pioneers who become a first generation of family farmers; scientists from the future studying the impact of nuclear radiation.

Split Toe witnesses two hundred years of conflict building between modern humans -- who fight to control the natural world -- and Mother Nature, who repeatedly reaches for balance. He wonders whether human ways will ultimately overpower Mother Nature, until he meets a boy who changes everything.

Cami Hensley · Forest Legend - The Tale of Ol Split Toe Audiobook Sample

About the Author

 

 Dan Ellens is an outdoor enthusiast who is passionate about connecting people with nature. 

 He spends nearly half of each year off-grid in an isolated, hand-built, electricity-free treehouse nestled within Winterfield Pines Nature Sanctuary with woodstove heat, handpump water, and oil lamp lighting.

 Dan was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and grew up in southeast Michigan. He has a Mechanical Engineering degree from Calvin University and an MBA from Michigan State University. Dan is retired from a full career in industry and international business. 

During 1996, 1997, and 1998, his family lived as expatriates in Bangalore, India, the inspiration for “A Time for India”, Dan’s second book, now in its second edition. 

 When Dan’s children were small – 10 years old - he took them each on an outward-bound, father-child adventure. The journal of those four trips became Dan’s first book, “Turning Ten: Great Adventures in the Great Lakes”, now in its second edition. 

 Dan is an accomplished woodworker and carpenter. His lifelong love for old-school carpentry inspired “Building the Bunkee: A Photo Anthology of Custom Log Cabin Construction and One Man’s Retirement Dream”. Dan is a hobby artist who is passionate about rescuing, restoring, and finding new homes for fine art. In the wilds, he sees cooking and baking without modern conveniences as their own adventure and creative expression. “Treehouse Letters: The Unabridged Michigan Forest Life Journal” includes entries about his art and his back-woods cooking … and many other things that one might think about while in a tree. 

 “Forest Legend: The Tale of Ol’ Split Toe”, Dan’s upcoming novel – his debut fiction piece written while sitting in his treehouse nest - brings experience from decades of life in the forest together with a rich understanding of mid-Michigan’s pioneer history and changing landscape. In this sweeping adventure, Dan explores the resilience of nature through the eyes of a majestic, time-traveling deer.

Review: Daughter of Two Realms by Teresa Widdowson

Daughter of Two Realms 

by Teresa Widdowson

Published: June 7, 2026

Genre: Religious, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Contemporary American Fiction

 

Blurb:

Two realms divided, and only one woman can bring them together.

Kendra Swift doesn’t believe in God, much to the dismay of her devout mother. She studies faith like a scientist studies bacteria—with distance, logic, and zero personal investment. When an intense dream leads her to a hidden, ancient book, everything she once believed unravels in an instant, and two crucial truths are revealed in its scripture that she can’t ignore.

God is real. And she is not who she thinks she is.

What follows pulls her into worlds she never knew existed. As she uncovers the truth behind ancient prophecies, she learns that the lines between myth and reality are not as clear as she once believed, and that she is connected to those hidden worlds in ways she never imagined. As an ancient conflict spirals toward its breaking point, Kendra must choose who she will become before a war centuries in the making destroys not only Heaven and Hell, but the human world caught between them.

Goodreads ~ Amazon

My Review:

The moment I delved into Daughter of Two Realms by Teresa Widdowson, I was completely taken aback. Initially, I was uncertain about what to expect after glancing at the summary, but the content within was far from what I anticipated.

Daughter of Two Realms is packed with captivating details that kept me eager to uncover more, eager to discover what this tale had in store. I found myself wanting to read faster, yet I couldn't turn the pages as quickly as I wished, all because I was curious about what Kendra would uncover within the book's pages.

This narrative revolves around angels and demons, with an impending war looming. Throughout the story, Daughter of Two Realms maintained a gripping suspense, gradually unveiling its secrets with twist after twist.

Daughter of Two Realms is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking tale that had me racing toward the conclusion, desperate to learn all that Kendra's book contained. I was anxious to discover what awaited Kendra and the significance of the book for her.

I can honestly say I have never encountered a book quite like Daughter of Two Realms before. While I have read similar stories, none have been as distinctive as this one. I eagerly look forward to exploring more works by Teresa Widdowson.

I wholeheartedly recommend Daughter of Two Realms to all enthusiasts of angel and demon lore. Be sure to grab your copy of Daughter of Two Realms today!

Book Blitz + #Giveaway: Reaper’s Quest by Debra A Kristi @DebraKristi @XpressoTours

Reaper’s Quest
Debra A Kristi
(Curse of the Royal Reaper, #1)
Publication date: July 13th 2026
Genres: Adult, Fantasy, Romance

Two rival reapers. A century of overdue souls. Revelations sure to crumble foundations.

Raven Gunn blamed herself and the cheat she used on her last job for her team’s assignment to the cursed reaping. Her father even packed the tool responsible for the cheat in her travel bag, silently suggesting the need, while reminding her not to trust her designated coreaper, Chace Badden. A hundred years of accumulated reapings, a prohibited reaper-tool, her born rival tasked as her partner… What could go wrong? She definitely wouldn’t allow Chace’s good looks to compromise her focus. Not. One. Bit.

Chace Badden suspected family connections were to blame for his team’s assignment, and he trusted nothing about the current reaping task. Especially not the Fae bastard showering Raven with unnecessary attention. That pr*ck needed to go. Raven was his coreaper and the pretty boy held no claim. Of course, the same could be said for Chace given Raven was his coreaper and his rival, professionalism and distance needed to remain steady between them.

But as more complications arise and old ones intensify, will Chace and Raven’s rivalry cloud emotions, hinder task success, and pave the road for, not only failure but, something far more concerning than mortal danger? Because the overwhelming number of unreaped souls is turning out to be the least of their worries.

Reaper’s Quest is the first book in an adult romantasy series that grows spicier with each book, while containing dark themes that may be uncomfortable for some readers. This series is ideal for fans of:

•Slow Burn & Tension (with plenty of action)

•Angsty, Trapped, Morally Gray Hero

•Forced Proximity

•“Who did this to you?”

•Multiple POV

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

Halfway across the rotunda, near the God of Death’s center statue, Chace Badden fell into step at my side, a confident swagger in his walk.

“Reaper Gunn,” he said, his delivery a smooth tease I ignored.

Even as my shoulders stiffened at the sight of him―black shirt, two unfastened buttons exposing a hint of skin, and pants snug against his body.

I dipped my gaze below his belt, and a tight breath dragged through my lungs.

Eyes up, Raven. Eyes up.

He snagged my elbow―his touch gentle, casual, as if zero tension existed between us. “Spot something of interest?”

I fought the desire to roll my eyes. Of course he’d shown up today with a megabat-sized chip on his shoulder. An ego, no doubt, inflated by his parents’ never-ending bolstering.

Book Blitz: The Closing Window by Gregg Roman @greggroman @RABTBookTours

Espionage Thriller, Political Thriller, Literary Thriller

Date Published: July 1, 2026

A thirty-nine-day war between the United States and Iran ends the way modern wars end now: not in surrender, but in a memorandum. The guns go silent. The money is promised. The world exhales.

Buried within the language of the peace are nineteen words that quietly abandon the people who believed the bombing meant deliverance.

In Washington, a small policy institute that has spent its life describing the world decides, for the first time, to act on it, and learns that the line between analysis and operation, once crossed, cannot be uncrossed.

In Tehran, an air-defense colonel runs the only arithmetic that has ever governed his life, weighing the family the regime holds against a door that may not be real. In a blacked-out city, a nurse keeps a count the state intends to erase, while an organizer discovers that the most dangerous thing a broken country can do is begin to hope.

As a sixty-day clock counts down to the vote that will make the peace permanent, three lives on opposite sides of a sealed border move toward a single decision and toward a question no government can answer for them: What is owed to the people you cannot save?

 

The Closing Window is a literary espionage thriller of statecraft, intelligence, political consequence, and moral responsibility. A novel about power, responsibility, and the narrowing distance between describing a catastrophe and becoming part of it.

Book Tour: Beyond the Broad Path by John Frey @RABTBookTours

Embracing the Narrow Way of Certainty in Christ

 

Religion / Christian Living / Inspirational

Date Published: April 28, 2026

Publisher: Lucid Books Publishing

 

Is there a single path that can reach both the lukewarm believer and the skeptical non-believer? Beyond the Broad Path argues that there is. This book speaks to believers who have grown complacent, calling them back to their role as salt and light, while also inviting non-believers into an honest exploration that assumes no prior faith or biblical knowledge.

Grounded in today’s fractured cultural landscape, the book confronts the search for truth in a world of distraction, division, and digital isolation—not to condemn, but to reveal what these forces are replacing in the human heart. From there, it leads the reader to life’s ultimate crossroads and presents the only solution – Jesus Christ.

With fresh clarity, this book makes the case that Christ’s message is not outdated, but radically relevant—offering redemption, lasting joy, and peace that cuts through chaos. Drawing from Matthew 7:13–14, readers are challenged to recognize that time is finite and the choice of which road to walk is unavoidable.

If you are ready to trade anxiety for certainty and the noise of the world for the assurance of God’s truth, turn the page. The journey toward the narrow way begins now.
