Surrender (a preview) Chris Baum
A hairy bachelor (Bigfoot) decides to set off on a dangerous quest to find his long lost kin. He knows the journey will be fraught with danger because he knows he and his family are on the endangered list—a constant struggle to survive. But like an adage he once read in a book, “nothing ventured, nothing gained,” he is steadfast to not give up on his goal. Fortunately, and unexpectedly, he gets some assistance from two animals, one of whom is far bigger in his faith than his physical size. PoBo encounters many obstacles along the way, and his own faith is tested repeatedly as time runs out to fulfill his quest. What he at first thinks is the true meaning of his journey becomes redefined.
When we’re broken and we realize we are not in complete control, it's time to SURRENDER.

MURDER IN MOSCOW: THE OBLAST COURT TRIAL
A handyman shoots and kills teenager stealing apples from his orchard in 1958.
He says it was an accident. Convicted, he’d normally get three years in prison.
He’s charged with murder from ‘base motives” with “evil intent.”
That charge carries 10 years.
But the judge has another punishment in mind.
What’s going on here? That’s a moral, not a legal charge.
Is it an over-zealous judge or a Kremlin-ordered Stalinist show trial?
Does the prosecutor want to get a career victory?
Is it jurisprudential collusion or madness?
The accused could get the death penalty in this deadly game.

It's just an antique box iron. But when I touch it, I'm thrust into the memories of the woman who was murdered while using the iron. A woman from another century. You see, I'm a psychometrist. I experience people's thoughts and emotions from the objects they've touched. My ability gave me entrance to one of the supernatural guilds in the nation's oldest city. But it can be a very unsettling ability. Especially since it has attracted the ghost of the murdered woman. Look, I have a historic inn to run. I don't have time for ghosts. But ghosts don't care. They always want something. And this one wants me to solve the mystery of her murder.
Complete novella. Extra bonus: three chapters of A Magic Touch.

Cover could be a movie poster, fascinating premise!
This book is a great read! Love that the main character is ex-paparazzi. And, the bad guys are actually BAD. Terrific story that mixes Haitian smuggling, police corruption, and general mayhem.

Couldn't put this story and ended up reading it far into the night. The day to day running of care facilities is interesting with the fascinating characters weaved into the story. Not just a good thriller, but touching, too.
I am really enjoying this book. As I read, the scene plays in my mind which makes it hard to put down. The story has gripped me for sure.

She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.
