Madame Koska and the Imperial Brooch
Madame Koska’s First Adventure!
Here she is, the elusive, enigmatic, undefeatable Madame Koska, who can solve a crime and run an establishment of magnificent haute couture with equal success. Who is she? What is her first name? Who was M. Koska? Where did she learn her trade? It must be Paris but she has a Russian name… where does she get her lovely mannequins? Does she smoke a cigarette stuck in a long ebony cigarette holder?

The Lemon Tree
The true story of a Siberian pioneer family’s extraordinary year-long journey as they transport their late son’s tiny lemon tree to Israel. Ten-year-old Sasha has one dying wish: he asks his family to take his lemon tree—the tree he raised from a seed floating in his tea—and plant it in an orchard in Israel. Nothing deters Sasha’s family from fulfilling his dream. The Wissotzskys travel on cattle trains through the Trans-Siberian line, become stranded in Shanghai, are shot at by Manchurian officials, and face the constant threat of typhoid fever, as they overcome these and other harrowing obstacles on their 1918 journey. Against all odds, this real-life pioneer family perseveres in their quest to fulfill a child’s dying wish. Can the little tropical tree survive the cold, harsh journey?

The Cinnabar Box
A tiny Cinnabar box contains the key to the water supply of an entire planet. The ecology of the planet depends on a great river that periodically overflows, much like the Nile in Egypt. Only the key's rightful owner can restore the water supply, which has been hidden for centuries. The task needs a trained army – but for the moment, it is in the hands of thirteen-year-old Donna, who has just learned a shocking secret about herself. Donna must survive in an alien reality where magic is commonplace, and where she meets many dangerous beings she previously considered the products of fairy tales. A nightmarish trip to the terrifying Wizard Island, a ghost town that imprisons visitors in its empty houses, and encounters with an evil renegade vizier who is determined to turn the planet into a desert, are just a few of her adventures. Throughout many ordeals, Donna uses her wits and relies on two important facts. First, she must save her kidnapped aunt, whatever it takes. Second, she must never, ever break the Wicca Code!

Maimonides: A Spiritual Biography
Sage in the care of the body as well as the soul, Maimonides shines as one of the brightest intellects in an age of oppression and ignorance. Readers who allow Arbel to transport them back to that harsh era will marvel at how one man--relentlessly harassed because of his Jewish faith, repeatedly forced to move to alien new lands, stranded in isolation and poverty--doggedly pursued his sacred and secular studies until he completed an intellectual synthesis that affected the entire Mediterranean world--Jewish, Arab, and Christian. Without burdening readers with the technicalities, Arbel illuminates Maimonides' accomplishments in condensing the entire body of Jewish law into one accessible volume, the Mishnah Torah, and in reconciling religious tradition with contemporary scientific and philosophic thought in his Guide for the Perplexed. Though centuries distant, the controversy surrounding Maimonides' works still highlights the courage of a true innovator. The same intellectual daring shines through the astonishingly modern work Maimonides did in physiology late in life. An ideal introduction to a complex figure. Bryce Christensen

On the Road to Ultimate Knowledge
An Anunnaki-Ulema Master breaks the silence of this mysterious group who possess a vast pool of forbidden knowledge, transmitted directly from the Anunnaki. They communicate with the dead, visit other dimensions, transmute gold, manipulate time, and teleport. They work with the Pères du Triangle, a secret organization that controls world affairs. The Master tells about his studies with an important diplomat who performs miracles, an accomplished Kabbalist/alchemist, and a creator of spirits. He discusses his meeting with an Anunnaki shape-shifter, The Book of Rama Dosh, and the Afterlife. The book is also a concise workbook that teaches extra-sensory techniques that can alter your life.

Lily
This is a story in the tradition of magical realism. I wanted to explore the phenomenon of the doppelganger in a more complex way than is usually done, and used my personal experience in a specific industry to present it in a realistic way. What would happen, I asked myself, if you liked your doppelganger? How would you react to its presence, or perhaps its demands? What if it offered something you knew was wrong, but could barely resist?

The Ecology of Nature Spirits
A portal to the enchanting world of Nature Spirits, this book allows you a tantalizing glimpse into the fascinating life of an elusive race that has been living side by side with us since the beginning of time. Unlike any other book written on these entities, it shows how closely they are connected to the natural world and its ecology, and how they interact with the environment. Most important, it brings to light a world that had never been explored before and rarely even thought of - the world of Urban Nature Spirits, those who had migrated with us into cities since Biblical times. These days, as we all strive to make our lifestyle greener and more attuned to the natural environment, be it in rural areas, the suburbs, or the cities, this book will teach you how to observe, first hand, and how to connect to these beings that are the core of the natural world in all its myriad manifestations.
