Published

on

Explora Books will host a virtual book signing event with novelist Claudette McLennon at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, held from June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the author and explore her debut novel, Sins of the Parents, at the Explora Books exhibition booth 5A.B14.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – Sins of the Parents is a work of literary fiction that follows Marlene Henderson Tulloch as she reflects on her life during her final weeks in a New York hospice. Born in Jamaica and orphaned at a young age, Marlene grew up under the care of a grandmother who blamed her for her mother’s death in childbirth. The novel traces her experiences through childhood hardship, migration, family life, and adulthood as she works to reconcile painful memories and relationships shaped by loss and resentment.

Structured around Marlene’s reflections near the end of her life, the narrative moves between her upbringing in Jamaica and her years in New York, exploring the long-term effects of family conflict, displacement, and emotional trauma across generations. Through Marlene’s perspective, the novel examines themes of forgiveness, resilience, and personal reconciliation.

One pivotal moment in the novel features a conversation between Marlene and her grandmother, who admits responsibility for years of emotional harm. The exchange illustrates the novel’s exploration of accountability and forgiveness within fractured family relationships.

McLennon writes in the acknowledgments of the novel, “May we learn the act of true charity and kindness in loving our neighbors as ourselves,” reflecting the compassion and reflection that inform the story’s emotional core.

The novel is expected to appeal to readers of Caribbean diaspora, multigenerational family fiction, and character-driven literary narratives centered on identity, migration, and healing.

Born in Islington, St. Mary, Jamaica, Claudette McLennon later migrated to the United States, where she built a career in public service spanning more than three decades. She holds degrees from Medgar Evers College and Long Island University. In addition to her fiction writing, McLennon has published poetry featured in an anthology. Sins of the Parents is her first novel.

Visitors to the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to attend the signing event at the Explora Books booth to meet Claudette McLennon virtually and obtain signed copies of Sins of the Parents. For those unable to attend, the book is also available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers.

Explora Books to Showcase Bruce K. Royer’s Supernatural Drama Two Connected Souls at the 2026 BIBF

Published

on

Explora Books will showcase the second edition of Two Connected Souls by Bruce K. Royer at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Blending family drama with supernatural suspense, the novel explores the boundaries between human connection, mortality, and the unseen forces that shape perception and belief.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – Two Connected Souls follows Derrick Sullivan, a devoted husband and father who survives a devastating car accident only to find his consciousness suspended in a quiet, light-filled interim realm. Guided by a mysterious robed figure, he comes to understand that his bond with his eight-year-old son, Ricky, extends beyond physical existence. When a malevolent entity enters the physical world and threatens Ricky’s soul, Derrick is forced to confront the limits of love, faith, and human agency in his effort to protect his family.

Set between hospital reality and an otherworldly dimension, the novel traces Derrick’s experience of separation, uncertainty, and spiritual disorientation. His relationship with his wife, Susan, and his son anchors the narrative, while shifting between grief, fear, and fragile hope. Rather than separating the human and supernatural elements, the story interweaves them to examine how individuals process crisis, identity, and emotional endurance under extreme conditions.

The novel’s emotional perspective is shaped by Royer’s own lived experience. Becoming a father at forty-four deeply influenced his understanding of responsibility and attachment. The loss of his younger brother during hospice care in 2010 further informed his reflections on grief and mortality. These experiences ultimately led him to explore how meaning is formed in moments of uncertainty and emotional rupture.

Shortly after his brother’s passing, Royer experienced a moment of unexpected comfort while watching his infant son through a baby monitor, prompting deeper reflection on memory, faith, and the possibility of connection beyond physical life. Drawing from these personal events, he wrote Two Connected Souls as an exploration of grief, family bonds, and the ways people seek meaning in the face of loss and change.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view this supernatural drama at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.

Two Connected Souls is available on Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

Explora Books Features ‘Glimpses Into Other Worlds’ at the BIBF 2026

Published

on

Explora Books will feature Glimpses Into Other Worlds by Kristy Shanahan at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held from June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. Previously showcased at the London Book Fair and now developed into a screenplay, the nonfiction title brings a researched and exploratory perspective to the fair’s international literary exhibition.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – At its core, Glimpses Into Other Worlds asks how people across history have attempted to explain encounters and phenomena they could not fully understand. To explore this question, Shanahan draws on mythology, historical records, military documentation, religious traditions, and scientific theory while organizing the book into three interconnected areas of inquiry.

The first section, “Outer Space (The Heavens),” surveys accounts of heavenly visitors found in oral traditions, cave carvings, religious texts, myths, and legends from cultures around the world. The section moves from biblical figures such as Enoch and Elijah to Mesopotamian references to the Anunnaki before turning to modern cases, including the 1947 Roswell incident and recent government disclosures concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). Visually supported by images from NASA and other space agencies, the section examines how stories of unexplained aerial encounters have persisted across centuries and civilizations.

The second section, “Ultraterrestrials and Other Dimensions,” shifts from outer space to questions surrounding alternate realms and multidimensional existence. Drawing from both ancient traditions and contemporary reports, Shanahan examines accounts of individuals who describe encounters with other dimensions alongside scientific discussions involving physics, cosmology, and quantum theory. The section considers how different cultures and disciplines have approached the idea of realities existing beyond ordinary perception.

The final section, “The Inner Dimension,” focuses on consciousness, spirituality, and human perception. It explores subjects ranging from prophetic traditions and remote viewing to Hindu philosophy and classical metaphysics while also examining modern discussions surrounding consciousness and the nature of the mind. Rather than presenting definitive conclusions, the section investigates how spiritual inquiry and scientific exploration have both attempted to address questions about human awareness and humanity’s relationship to the wider universe.

Taken together, the book approaches mythology, science, spirituality, and historical testimony through an interdisciplinary lens, encouraging readers to consider how different societies and fields of study have interpreted the unknown across time.

Kristy Shanahan is a recently retired medical laboratory scientist and educator in biomedical and biological sciences. She holds degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Johns Hopkins University, and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, where she continues to serve as an adjunct faculty member. Her scientific background and longtime work in education inform the book’s research-driven approach to historical, cultural, and speculative inquiry. She lives in northern Illinois with her family and her golden retriever, Rosie.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view the book at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.

Glimpses Into Other Worlds is available on Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

Explora Books to Showcase H.D. Duman’s Geopolitical and Supernatural Thrillers at the BIBF 2026

Published

on

Explora Books will feature three thriller titles by H.D. Duman at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF), held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing. The presentation brings together works that span geopolitical suspense, cyber warfare, and supernatural elements, reflecting a wide range of narrative approaches across contemporary thriller fiction.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 2nd Jun 2026 – The featured titles include WolfscapeTo Russia with Love, and Path to Peril, each set in distinct environments ranging from the American wilderness to international intelligence operations and global security networks.

Wolfscape blends mystery and supernatural tension against the backdrop of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The novel centers on a conflict between two wolves with opposing moral forces as the boundaries between the natural and the unknown begin to shift. Through an isolated wilderness setting and mounting suspense, the story also explores how a married couple deals with survival, transformation, and loyalty under extraordinary circumstances.

In To Russia with Love, Duman turns toward geopolitical suspense and cyber warfare. The novel follows Delta Force operatives and an Israeli scientist tasked with deploying a quantum virus deep behind enemy lines. When a breach in operational protocol compromises the mission, the team becomes entangled in an escalating confrontation involving the Russian FSB and the growing threat of technological warfare. The narrative follows a high-risk operation shaped by intelligence conflict, cyber capability, and escalating international tension.

Path to Peril follows two Department of Homeland Security intelligence operatives investigating an arms-trafficking network tied to international finance and emerging cyber threats. As separate investigations gradually converge, the novel reveals a complex web of political interests, surveillance systems, and global instability. Structured around parallel storylines, the narrative comes together and traces how interconnected systems expose vulnerabilities across institutions operating under pressure.

H.D. Duman writes thrillers that combine geopolitical conflict, advanced technology, and psychological tension within tightly constructed narratives. Drawing on subjects such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and espionage, his work focuses on character decisions shaped by operational constraints and high-stakes environments. Rather than emphasizing abstract interpretation, his novels are driven by present-day, scenario-based storytelling grounded in action, systems, and consequence.

Attendees at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair are invited to view H.D. Duman’s works at Explora Books’s exhibition booth 5A.B14 at CNCC in Beijing.
