Zack’s consulting cases for the police have been few, and the couple’s two corgis are getting along well with their new housemate, Ruby the African grey parrot. But suddenly Ruby is quoting Shakespeare and coming up with random sayings she couldn’t possibly have overheard. And what does any of this have to do with a bank robbery and the death of a security guard in a town a hundred miles away? But when the corgis, Sherlock and Watson, begin to take notice of oddball things, Zack knows he needs to pay heed. In their usual fashion, the super-smart little dogs will gather the clues so Zack and his cop buddy Vance can put it all together. Readers are loving these indomitable dog sleuths.

This book was released on 2024-08-10 with total page 1006 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport yourself into the magical kingdom of Lentari, along with Steve and Sarah Miller (introduced in The Bakkian Chronicles), a world of kings and princes, dragons, dwarves, and all sorts of mythical creatures. Book 1 – Lost City Lukas, a young dwarf, narrowly averts tragedy while attending a class by the master craftsman Maelnar, falling into the forge’s fire. Amazingly, he comes away from the near miss with only a mark on his back. The mark is not quite a burn. But it is disfiguring and embarrassing to the family, and it’s not fading away, so his father, Venk, takes young Lukas to consult the most respected wizard in the kingdom. They learn this mysterious mark is part of a Questor’s Mark, a sort of roadmap to an adventure that had long been the dream of many—to find the Lost City of Nar. Book 2 – Something Wyverian This Way Comes Steve and Sarah Miller receive an urgent message from Lentari, the land they call their second home, the magical place of dragons and wizards, the land where they became, for a time, guardians to the crown prince. When both of them have the same unsettling dream, a vision that something bad is happening in Lentari, they go—without a second thought. They learn a terrible sickness is consuming the dragon population, affecting their powers, starving them, killing them. Steve and Sarah arrive with two goals: help the dragons find the source of the ailment, and don’t tell the king they suspect it’s a curse or spell of some kind. Book 3 – A Portal For Your Thoughts The peaceful kingdom of Lentari is rocked by the disappearances of several citizens, and when the latest—a young girl—vanishes, the king dispatches his top aides to find out what’s happening. Piecing together the clues, they ride to a lush forest near the seaside town of Capily where they come across an odd disturbance in the undergrowth. A few tests, and it’s evident the anomaly is a portal of some sort, and the consensus is that they will need the strongest teleporter known to the kingdom in order to solve the mystery of where the portal leads and how it has taken the missing villagers. The only teleporter with this much power is Lady Sarah, the human with the needed jhorun to possibly save them. Sarah and her husband Steve transport to Lentari from their home in America, and as she is studying the odd new portal the unthinkable happens. Lady Sarah is pulled into the portal and vanishes!

Book excerpt: The invading pirates from Perz have set their sights on a new goal in Lentari, capturing the dwarven Narian Power Hammer, which promises supreme physical strength and longevity to its owner. But trekking through the enormous underground cavern system that the dwarves call home does not come naturally to men of the sea, and Captain Flinn has his hands full, keeping his crew in line as they search for the elusive magical hammer. Flinn has one thing going for him, the Alchos Stone, which can make his men, his ship and himself invisible. The thing that will work against him, however, is that he’s being tracked by Steve and Sarah Miller and their Lentarian allies, the dragons. Can the Millers catch up with Flinn and his men before they find the Hammer, create massive destruction, and escape? And can they retrieve the powerful Fang of the Red Oskorlisk, which Flinn has already stolen, the talisman that gives the dragons their power, before the pirates break away and take to the sea again?

This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a lazy summer day in Coeur d’Alene when Steve and Sarah Miller get a visit from one of the most powerful ancients in Lentari. Something is dreadfully wrong and only they can solve it. But what the problem is, Eion cannot explain. They must go, and soon! They arrive to find nothing the same as they left it, a few months earlier. Alliances between dragons and humans, between dwarfs and others … none of those exist now. None of their friends exist. The king and queen are two people the Millers have never heard of, and the entire kingdom is not prospering as it once did. As more and more mysteries unfold, the terrifying truth occurs to them. Someone has altered the past in order to change the present. And Steve and Sarah have a pretty good idea who that is. They will need to find and confront an old foe who nearly killed Sarah, and they must find a way to undo the harm he created. How will they stop him—this time permanently?
