Date Published: February 16, 2026

Scions of Legacy - The Powers That Be (Book 1) The Powers That Be is the first book in a new series that continues the world established in the Rude Boy USA trilogy. This time, the focus shifts to Sophie and Sandra LeBlanc, the daughters of John LeBlanc, the patriarch whose rise defined the earlier saga. They were raised inside influence, discipline, and expectation. Now they must learn what it means to carry that legacy in a world that watches closely and forgets nothing of their parents' pasts. The novel centers on the sisters as they navigate proximity to power while a scandal threatens to fracture the family’s hard-earned reputation. The name LeBlanc once commanded respect. Now it draws scrutiny. As rumors spread and alliances shift, Sophie and Sandra are forced to confront not only public fallout but also the private truths behind the life they inherited. The Rude Boy USA trilogy provides the lore, history, and emotional foundation for this story. The rise of Chimera, the transition into legitimacy, and the cost of building influence form the foundation of everything that unfolds here. The Powers That Be is about loyalty, inheritance, image, and what happens when the next generation must stand firm as the ground beneath them begins to shake.

God's Surprising Way: The Path to Lasting Joy, Healing, and Love by Jeyran Main #spirituality #christian #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @TalesReview @RABTBookTours

The Path to Lasting Joy, Healing, and Love

Christian Theology • Philosophy • Contemporary Faith • Spirituality

Date Published: 03-01-2026

Publisher: Review Tales Editing & Publishing Services

God's Surprising Way: The Path to Lasting Joy, Healing, and Love guides readers into the upside-down kingdom of God, where human expectations are consistently overturned. In this transformative journey, the humble are exalted, the last are lifted, and true greatness is found through servanthood, surrender, and sacrificial love. Through Scripture, theological insights, and historical reflections-from Augustine and Luther to Bonhoeffer and Nouwen-readers discover how God's surprising ways cultivate lasting joy, deep healing, and authentic love.

Each chapter explores a distinct paradox of the gospel, demonstrating how humility, generosity, and obedience can transform relationships, communities, and personal faith. Practical reflections and prompts invite readers to integrate these principles into daily life-choosing forgiveness over resentment, service over recognition, and trust over control.

With accessible scholarship, devotional insight, and concrete application, this book reveals the practical power of God's reversals. It challenges conventional assumptions about success, power, and happiness, inviting believers to live counterculturally in alignment with Christ's teachings. God's Surprising Way is both an invitation and a roadmap: to encounter God's transformative presence, embody the values of the Kingdom, and experience joy, healing, and love that endure.

Value Whispering: The Smarter Way to Market Your Small Business by Melitta Campbell #nonfiction #business #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

The Smarter Way to Market Your Small Business

 

Non-Fiction, Business, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Small Business

Date Published: January 26, 2026

If your dream clients don’t understand your value, they won’t buy from you – no matter how good you are or how many certifications you have.

Too many talented, service-based entrepreneurs stay stuck, wasting time and energy on marketing that feels complicated, inauthentic or designed for someone else.

Value Whispering changes that.

In this refreshingly practical and empowering book, award-winning business coach Melitta Campbell shares her proven blueprint for marketing and selling your services in a way that feels authentic, calm and effective.

You’ll learn how to:

* Discover and articulate your unique value through clear, confident communication that makes your message stand out,

* Design offers that feel natural to deliver and easy to sell,

* Attract and convert dream clients through meaningful marketing and sales conversations that build trust rather than pressure,

* Create a calm, professional client experience that leads to retention and referrals,

* Build a business that grows sustainably, without burnout or bravado.

 

Rooted in empathy and backed by real-world results, Value Whispering gives you the structure, mindset and confidence to grow your business by treating marketing and sales as learnable communication skills, not personality traits.

Because when your marketing, sales and client experience work in harmony, success starts to flow naturally.

 

About the Author

Melitta Campbell is a business coach, bestselling author and creator of the Value Whispering approach to marketing and communication. Known to many as the Value Whisperer, she has spent three decades helping leaders and entrepreneurs find the clarity, confidence and language to express their true value with ease.

Her career began in the corporate world and later evolved into a consultancy where she supported organisations of all sizes as a communications and leadership expert. Through this blend of internal and consulting work across the private, public and global NGO sectors, Melitta saw firsthand how people flourish when they understand themselves, believe in their unique value and allow that belief to shape not just their words, but how they show up, make decisions and build relationships.

This insight became the foundation of her Value Whispering system: a compassionate, practical framework that helps people uncover the strengths at the heart of their work and translate them into clear, confident communication that feels natural. Through her coaching, workshops, books, TEDx and global speaking engagements, as well as The Art of Value Whispering podcast, Melitta has guided thousands of individuals to market and grow their businesses in a way that honours who they are, not who they think they’re supposed to be.

Melitta is driven by a simple belief: when people truly believe in their value, expressing it becomes effortless, and that that authenticity creates meaningful ripples in their communities, families and industries. She is especially passionate about empowering more women to step forward with confidence and contribute their brilliance to a world that urgently needs their perspectives. Women’s voices have been missing from many of the systems and decisions that have shaped our societies, and Melitta is committed to helping close that gap so our future is more balanced, resilient and human.

Originally from Wales and now based in Switzerland, Melitta lives with her husband, two daughters and Isla, their good-humoured and ever-supportive dog who keeps the whole household smiling.

This book is an invitation to slow down, tune in and discover what makes you remarkable. As you continue your journey, Melitta hopes you’ll share these ideas with others and trust that when you consistently whisper your value, you create a legacy that reaches far beyond your work and into the lives of others.

If Two of Them are Dead by Gina Bennett #bookreview #thriller #historical #fiction #Rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

Spy Thriller / Historical Fiction

Date Published: October 9, 2025

Publisher: Manhattan Book Group

Two spies. Two centuries. One mistake that erases the United States of America.

When Ruth, a modern-day CIA counterintelligence officer, uncovers signs of a mole no one believes exists—a potential fourth Soviet spy left over from the Cold War—her investigation is abruptly derailed by an impossible event. Thrown back through time to the American Revolutionary War, Ruth finds herself face-to-face with Agent 355, the legendary—and still unidentified—female spy of George Washington’s Culper Ring.

Separated by 250 years yet bound by shared instincts, courage, and tradecraft, the two women quickly recognize each other as fellow intelligence officers. Together, they uncover a covert plot that, if left unchecked, will alter the course of history itself—resulting in a chilling alternate reality: the British States of America.

When Ruth returns to the present, the world she knew is gone. The United States no longer exists. Instead, she is working for MI7, piecing together clues that link her failed mole hunt to the catastrophic change she triggered in 1780. To restore history—and democracy—Ruth must find a way to repair the past without destroying the future.

If Two of Them Are Dead reimagines Agent 355 as the founding mother of American intelligence, bringing her out of historical anonymity and into a gripping narrative that celebrates the often-unrecognized role of women in espionage. The novel explores how effective spycraft transcends time—relying on deception close to truth, strategic disinformation, vigilance, and counter-surveillance—while highlighting the unique advantages women have historically brought to intelligence work precisely because they were underestimated.

Blending spy thriller, historical fiction, and science fiction, this novel is both a pulse-pounding adventure and a reflection on the enduring threats to democracy. Ruth’s unresolved mole investigation seamlessly sets the stage for future books in the series—without leaving readers stranded on a cliffhanger.

Perfect for fans of espionage thrillers, time-travel fiction, Revolutionary War history, and readers eager to uncover America’s best-kept secrets as the nation approaches its semiquincentennial.

Review

If Two of Them Are Dead by Gina Bennett is a compelling and thoughtful read that pulls you in from the very beginning. The story unfolds with steady tension, blending mystery and deeper emotional layers in a way that feels both intelligent and engaging.

As the story develops, the suspense builds naturally rather than relying on over-the-top twists.

The writing allows readers to fully immerse themselves in the stakes of the situation. It’s a story that makes you think while still delivering a satisfying narrative arc.

Naomi, scarred by her father’s rages and the enigma of her mother’s death as a young child, fled to find her own life. For twenty years, a wall of silence has stood between them.

This was a heartfelt story about love, loss, and growth, and learning to trust yourself. From the first chapter, I felt connected to Ivy and her journey.

There are moments of disappointment, hope, and quiet courage along the way as our young main character makes mistakes and learns from them. 

The author does a beautiful job showing that healing and happiness take time.

The Breaking of Time - Chronicles of the Arvynth by J.J. Hebert #metaphysical #fiction #rabtbooktours @authorjjhebert @RABTBookTours

Chronicles of the Arvynth

Metaphysical Fiction

Date Published: November 25, 2025

Publisher: MindStir Media

USA Today bestselling author J. J. Hebert's brand-new urban fantasy series Chronicles of the Arvynth begins with The Breaking of Time, a novel about a devoted father whose desperate act to save his son fractures reality itself, awakening ancient magic and drawing him back into the path of an immortal order he once betrayed, where love, time, and silence collide in a race against eternity.

🏆 Mariel Hemingway's Book Club Selection (Best Urban Fantasy):

"This novel is heartfelt, gripping, and memorable in all the best ways." —Mariel Hemingway, Bestselling Author & Oscar-Nominated Actress ★★★★★

ONE FATHER'S DESPERATE CHOICE FRACTURES TIME AND REALITY ITSELF.

To everyone around him, Daniel Ward is a mild-mannered accountant, devoted husband and father in a quiet New England suburb. But when his ten-year-old son chases a runaway soccer ball into the street, straight into the path of a speeding truck, Daniel does the impossible. He freezes time.

That single act of defiance exposes the secret he's buried for decades. His magic awakens the ancient order he once betrayed, the Arvynth, a brotherhood of immortal sorcerers devoted to stillness and death, determined to silence the world.

As his carefully constructed life unravels, Daniel must protect his family while evading the brotherhood that hunts him. Every second he steals from time feeds the void that seeks to consume it, threatening not only the people he loves but reality itself.

Forced to choose between sacrifice and survival, Daniel discovers the truth: sometimes the loudest act of love is defiance.

The Breaking of Time is a race against eternity, a supernatural thriller that fuses urban fantasy and family drama in a story about the noise of life, the cost of power, and one father's desperate fight to keep the world from falling silent.

Trans in the Time of Trump by Hope Abbigail Nulf #lgbtq #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

LGBTQ+

Date Published: February 9, 2026

Trans in the Time of Trump by Hope Abbigail Nulf is a poignant, thought-provoking collection that captures the intersection of personal identity, political resistance, and art. Born from the author's experiences of surviving trauma, transitioning, and discovering resilience, this book combines raw humor, activism, and deep insight into the current political landscape.

Through her character "Doodle," Nulf expresses complex emotions about identity, gender, and societal pressures, offering readers a unique, humorous perspective on the struggles faced by the LGBTQ+ community in an increasingly divisive world. This first of nine Doodle books explores the power of art to speak truth to power, inviting readers to join a movement of resistance, hope, and courage in the face of tyranny.

With illustrations that convey both personal pain and joy, Trans in the Time of Trump is a powerful declaration that art can heal, inspire, and fuel activism.

 

About the Author

I am a trans special education teacher and 10 years ago I started cartooning books for kids and parents that were in trouble. I did 8 books for kids that were picked on or disliked, and then my country went away.

In the face of treatment of trans people, brown people, and the growing abuse of all minorities I had to change Doodle from a comforting friend to a mirror I could hold up to rednecks.

She is my activism. A far cry from my mother’s activism in the 60s, but it is what I can add to the fight.
