Book Tour: The Journal of Rabbi Levy Wang
Three Friends, Two Countries, One Priceless jewel
1937 China; the Japanese Imperial Army is
chewing up China. Three middle-aged friends, Westerners, who have lived in
China for decades, are about to lose everything to the onslaught. Leave China
or die. As their world collapses around them, a fur trader from New York, a
Russian, and a Rabbi from Germany, learn that a race of Chinese Jews is about
to become victims of a German and Japanese alliance to acquire a valuable ruby,
supposedly hidden in their village of Kaifeng.
The three friends embark on one last
adventure before leaving China, to save the Jews of Kaifeng and the jewel. Can
they reach Kaifeng before the alliance bent on the destruction of the village
gets to them? It’s a deadly pursuit across 1937 China, through Japanese
controlled territory, Chinese bandits, and countless dangers and obstacles. The
only clues to its location are written in a cryptic, twenty-year-old diary of a
disillusioned Chinese Rabbi; the Journal of Rabbi Levy Wang. The three friends
are tested to the extreme in a desperate attempt to warn their friends and find
the jewel.
David Harris Lang, a current resident of Hong Kong, has lived and worked in Asia much of his life.

Within fifteen minutes of friendly questioning, Hattori
knew all about Rabbi Wang, Rabbi Wang’s journal, Wudang Mountain, and the Five
Dragons Monastery. When he was satisfied that he had gotten all the information
possible from Yingfei, Hattori stood up, severed Yingfei’s head, and replaced the
sword back in its scabbard.
“To the trucks! We leave for Kaifeng immediately!” Hattori shouted.
Hattori’s plan was to capture the three Westerners at Kaifeng. He not only wanted to stop them from finding the jewel first, but he also now knew that he needed the rabbi to read the Hebrew journal of Levi Wang. These Westerners were getting to be more annoying every day.

Cover Reveal: Killer Kake Chips by Patrice Lyle
Killer Kale Chips
Health Nut Mysteries
Patrice Lyle
Gemma Halliday Publishing
In the city that never sleeps, Dr.
Piper's search for the perfect wedding dress turns into the search for the
perfect murderer. When famous diva Veronica Forks drops dead after eating a bag
of Ken's Killer Kale Chips, suspicion falls on
former-mafioso-turned-surfer-dude, Ken.
According to Piper's PI flashcards, Ken
has the motive (she witnessed a tiff between him and Veronica), the means (the
kale chips), and the opportunity (he was at the expo). But Piper's sure the
surfer-dude can't be a killer and, as any good PI knows, the flashcards aren't
always right.
Plus Brownie, Piper's pet pot-bellied pig, is addicted to Ken's
Killer Kale Chips, and if Ken's arrested, Brownie will never snack again! So
Piper takes it upon herself to root out the murderer who's adding "killer
seasoning" to kale chips before he strikes again.
** Coming in May **
Patrice Lyle loves green smoothies,
dark chocolate, mysteries, and humor. She wove these elements together when she
created the Health Nut Mysteries, a cozy series about a naturopathic doctor who
solves mysteries at health expos. Patrice also writes paranormal young adult
and middle grade fiction, as well as holistic medical suspense. She has an MA
in Writing Popular Fiction and a PhD in Holistic Nutrition. She's also a
Certified Traditional Naturopath. She now lives in Florida with her husband and
two kitties, and is a firm believer in the theory that laughter is the best
medicine.
