    Reign Of Secrets Book Blitz



    Historical Fiction Thriller

    Date Published: 12/10/2025

    Publisher: Manhattan Book Group




    When the Prince of Denmark is murdered in the Florida Keys, an unlikely duo of American and Irish diplomats in Copenhagen becomes embroiled in a deadly game of espionage, ancient conspiracies and high stakes diplomacy as they confront one of the West’s most dangerous enemies. In Reign of Secrets, Colonel Whit Ransom and Irish attaché Aisling Kelly race across Europe to stop the Russian President and his assassins as they chase the Danish Crown’s most guarded treasure, a thousand-year-old secret that could threaten the royal houses of Europe and return the Russian empire to glory.

    In Reign of Secrets, diplomacy meets danger, and the past may be the deadliest weapon of all.

     

    Praise for Reign of Secrets


    “A gripping, timely story… that masterfully blends that warrior ethos with today’s geopolitical reality, as Whit Ransom confronts Vladimir Putin’s ruthless ambition to resurrect an empire.”

    – Lt. Col. James Reese (Ret.), US Army Delta Force Operator

    “Through this historical thriller, Reign of Secrets offers a captivating glimpse into the essence of what it means to follow in the footsteps of legends…”

    – Morten Andersen, “The Great Dane”, Member, NFL Hall of Fame

    “A masterfully crafted tale that explores how the West’s adversaries subtly challenge the narratives of history – reshaping symbols, exploiting weaknesses, reframing legacies, and testing the resilience of democratic values and the international order.”

    -Lt. General Ed Cardon (Ret.), former Commander, US Army Cyber Command

    For Quest of Fire as a whole, the spiritual components of the story became part of the core fabric of the story pretty early on. It’s not pure allegory like The Pilgrim’s Progress, but it is more directly symbolic in how it represents certain things than say The Lord of the Rings, even if it reads much like that series. For instance, the protagonists joined an ancient order of knights who serve the rightful ruler of the Lowlands (Quest of Fire’s story world), the High King. And he grants Knights armor and a sword emblematic of the spiritual armor of Ephesians 6. Take for instance the spiritsword, analogous to the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). The spiritsword, when wielded by a knight in service to the High King will begin to catch fire on the blade, especially over the lettering engraved into it—divine words from the High King himself. Then the source of the burning blades and Quest of Fire series title is derived from the book of Hebrews where God is described as a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29). Not all of the Scriptural influences and allusions are so direct, usually being tied to the organic flow of the story’s events. Situations, many of which with strong corollaries to what anyone would face in life, arise and how the characters handle them—both poorly and rightly—reflect the deeper truth found in Scripture and I pray points people to the Truth (John 14:6). I read about some research a university conducted some years ago that explained the way the brain processes stories is the same as it does lived experiences. To an extent, that means that the stories we read becomes part of who we are as much as what we experience in life. Respecting that sobering consideration, I write stories with the prayer that the story is an enjoyable escape, but more than that, when the reader is done with the book, I want what they’ve faced in the story to help better prepare them to face the trials and situations of the real world. So, the spiritual dimension and substance of The Unending Light is woven into the very fabric as the story.

    Date Published: December 2, 2025



    Field of Memories is a deeply evocative collection of autobiographical short stories and vignettes, chronicling the author’s journey from childhood through adulthood. The book is artfully structured as a tapestry of memories, with each narrative thread representing a formative experience, a cherished relationship, or a poignant lesson learned along the way. Through this structure, the author, D. L. Norris, invites readers to traverse the landscape of her life, exploring the moments that have shaped her identity and worldview.

    Norris’s writing is imbued with a profound sense of nostalgia, celebrating the warmth and comfort of family bonds, the innocence and wonder of youth, and the resilience that emerges from overcoming loss. The stories span several decades, beginning with the author’s earliest years and progressing through significant coming-of-age moments, family traditions, and historical events that have left an indelible mark on her life. Central to the narrative is the enduring influence of the author’s mother, whose presence and guidance serve as a touchstone throughout the collection. The joys and sorrows of growing up are explored with sensitivity and insight, highlighting the universal experiences that connect us all.

    A key theme in “Field of Memories” is the importance of preserving family stories for future generations. Norris emphasizes how these stories serve as a bridge between the past and the present, allowing us to honor our heritage and pass on valuable lessons to those who come after us. The narrative is enriched by vivid character sketches, introducing readers to a cast of neighbors, teachers, friends, and relatives who each contribute to the rich tapestry of the author’s life. These characters are portrayed with warmth and authenticity, reflecting the complexities and nuances of real human relationships.

    Throughout the book, Norris reflects on universal experiences such as childhood innocence, friendship, grief, forgiveness, and the bittersweet passage of time. Her stories are interwoven with poems and reflections, offering readers moments of both laughter and tears. The inclusion of poetry adds a lyrical quality to the narrative, deepening the emotional resonance and inviting readers to pause and contemplate the themes presented.

    Ultimately, Field of Memories is a celebration of legacy, love, and the power of storytelling to connect generations. Norris’s writing encourages readers to reflect on their own lives, to cherish the memories that have shaped them, and to recognize the enduring value of sharing stories with others. The collection serves as a reminder that our experiences, both joyful and sorrowful, contribute to the fabric of who we are, and that by honoring these memories, we can find meaning, healing, and connection.
