She’s protecting a bestselling vampire author. Too bad nobody protected the assistant.Mimi Capurro has seen some things. Cheating husbands. Insurance fraudsters. One very uncomfortable stakeout involving a coffee can. But nothing in her private detective career prepared her for walking into the dining room of her client’s house.Now Mimi’s juggling a book tour bodyguard gig, a murder investigation she was specifically told to stay out of, and the sudden reappearance of Nick Christianson — the one man from her past who can make her forget she’s a professional. Mostly by being infuriating.With a killer who’s clearly read the book, a vampire role-playing cult with surprisingly good rock-paper-scissors skills, and a client whose entire crisis may have been a publicity stunt, Mimi’s going to need more than her nine-millimeter and her Doberman Lola to sort this one out.Though, honestly? Lola might be enough.Wickedly funny, deliciously twisty, and just dark enough to make you sleep with the lights on — Let Us Prey proves that the most dangerous fans aren’t the ones who love you. They’re the ones keeping score.Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich and Charlaine Harris who like their mysteries with a side of chaos and a heroine who pukes at crime scenes but shows up anyway.

The Way integrates religion and science and reconciles Eastern and Western worldviews, confirming with the mystics and the scientists that everyone is related, and everything is connected.This book recognizes the perennial philosophy that underlies many spiritual traditions. Reading The Way is like having a cup of coffee with Bart Ehrman, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Albert Einstein.The book has a “theory of everything” feel to it. Like a TED talk, it is deeply personal with broadly universal themes.THE WAY is a SILVER WINNER in the 2024 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS.The Western worldview is based on separation. In the Bible, everything is separated—light and dark, land and water, animals and people. In church, people are separated too—clergy and laity, men and women, straight and LGBTQ+ people.The Eastern worldview is based on Oneness. The mystics and the scientists see the world this way too. Any perceived sense of separation between ourselves and others is illusory. In the East, God is “a part of us,” not “apart from us.”The first half of the book deconstructs an old belief system based on dualistic Christian theology. The deconstruction is interesting, not angry or judgmental.The second half reconstructs a modern belief system based on nondual Eastern religions, the mystics, and the scientists. The reconstruction is thought-provoking, not preachy or speculative.Can we encounter God or the Universe without accepting human doctrines that no longer make sense in light of modern science?Can we learn about God or the Universe from other spiritual teachers, such as Buddha, Krishna, or Lao Tzu—much as we learn from Jesus?Can we think about God or the Universe as the “ground of being,” rather than as a being—much as many of the mystics think about God?Can we practice a meaningful spirituality that is truly transformational, more experiential, more open-hearted and more open-minded?The Way is reporting, rather than apologetics, memoir, or polemic. Open-minded seekers, including religious people, spiritual but not religious people, and humanists will appreciate the questions that the author addresses clearly and fairly.The book includes suggested study questions, and it works well in book clubs.”If you read only one book to guide your deconstruction and reconstruction process, this would be the one to read.”—Jim Palmer, Founder of The Center for Non-Religious Spirituality
