Crimeucopia - Say It AgainEver Get A Feeling Of Déjà Vu?There are many things which can be said of the Modern World, and one of those is the amount of 'noise' when it comes to finding something - anything - that makes you sit up and say I like that. And sometimes, by the time that happens, the 'item' has passed by and gone, washed out of sight by the riptide of The Next New Thing to surf across your attention.Which is why, whenever we open the doors to new projects and submissions, we also see pieces passed to us with the offer of reprinting them.Some may only have a paper history, some may only have been up on a webzine site - placed for a short period of time before being archived into the depths of an ISP's hosting server.And there are also those pieces which, quite rightly, authors may have a fondness for - the joyful offspring of their creative minds, regardless of how twisted they might be (the offspring that is, rather than the minds of their creators), and which they feel are deserving of a second read.Hopefully by presenting these pieces here, you'll start looking at various magazine and webzine archives, in search of something that may have passed you by, or that you missed the first time around.And, as always with all of these anthologies, we hope you'll find something that you immediately like, as well as something that takes you out of your regular comfort zone - and puts you into a completely new one because, in the spirit of the Murderous Ink Press motto: You never know what you like until you read it.

Boomshakalaking is a variant of the expression Boomshakalaka and is currently recognised as a boastful, teasingly hostile exclamation that follows a noteworthy achievement or pulling off an impressive stunt. Basically its meaning is similar to in your face!Which is why this anthology is subtitled Modern Crimes for Modern Times, because most, if not all, are not your regular crime fiction pieces - in fact some quite happily dance along the edges of multiple genres and styles, while others skew it like it is.Featuring work from Scott Talbot Evans, Edward Sheehy, Robb T. White, Robert Petyo, Brian R. Quinn, Orca Green, Robert Parker, Brandon Barrows, S. E. Bailey, Edward St. Boniface, Dan A. Cardoza, Sean Marciniak, Lynn Hesse, and Hernán Salvarezza - and even we have to admit that this is one of the most diverse sub-genre spanning anthologies we have produced so far, while still sitting under the umbrella of Crime Fiction.

It is authored by forty-nine members of the Ellel Ministries International team, many who are sharing insights from decades of experienced ministry in healing, restoration and discipleship.A seed is a powerful and often repeated Biblical symbol of something that is wisely planted. It is nurtured through watering and feeding, and protected as the young growth starts to develop into a mature plant to bring forth fruitfulness. This is the image of each of our lives under the loving hand of Jesus, the great gardener.

This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." This book has been compiled with the vision of helping you on your daily journey of spiritual growth. Each 'seed' has a Scripture and a prayer to reflect upon, to encourage every seed to "fall on good soil".This unique collection of 365 devotions has been edited from the online daily devotional, www.seedsofthekingdom.com, that has attracted thousands of followers.
