This Christmas give the ultimate "Escape To Another World" experience. Bears Home awaits and what a journey it has been so far. So many have told us they absolutely love the personalization of the characters and how the story revolves around them. Not to mention the twists and turns that you should have seen coming, but didn't. Bella and Ngoc are at it again in "Know Your Enemy." A book of romance, corruption, and war. However, what our readers love the most, is the side stories take a backseat to our incredible characters who really are the main story. We have a new villain, along with some amazing other side stories that capture your hearts to the core. Get ready! December 1st will be here quicker than you think. Now is the perfect time. Start reading now and by this time next year you will be ready for the series finale, Smuggling Seas; coming out December 1st, 2025.

Welby MD, Air Force veteran and author, announces the release of his crime thriller series, featuring the twin detective duo Bella and Ngoc. Set in the fictional kingdom of Bears Home, the series introduces readers to a world of high-stakes crime, masterminded by the elusive Polish mob boss, Kellen Olshefski. Bella’s personal struggle to join the Royal Guard and Ngoc’s contrasting, methodical approach create a dynamic that sets this series apart. What truly captivates readers is not just the crime-solving, but the deep character development and the unique screenplay-style format that Welby employs to enhance the storytelling experience.

One of the hallmarks of the Detectives of the Kingdom Series is its unique format. Presented in a screenplay style, the dialogue-driven storytelling creates an immersive experience, allowing readers to feel like they are watching the action unfold. The quick, sharp exchanges between characters move the plot forward and offer insight into their personalities and relationships. This format, combined with the series’ intricate plotlines, ensures that each book is an exciting read and a thoughtful narrative journey.

As the series progresses, the stakes rise even higher. In the forthcoming Know Your Enemy (available December 1, 2024), a new villain, Brandon Stenzel, enters the fray. Set against the backdrop of political upheaval in Ireland, this latest installment promises to expand the series' scope even further. Bella and Ngoc find themselves confronting threats that extend beyond Olshefski’s empire, all while navigating the ever-evolving challenges of their partnership.

Looking ahead, MD’s series continues to promise suspense, drama, and richly developed characters. Readers who have been captivated by Bella and Ngoc’s journey won’t want to miss what comes next.
