"Mariposa: The Bearded White God" is the fifth book in my "Mariposa" series.
Two young women from Las Vegas, members of the elite "Butterfly" cadre, journey this time to Argentina.
There they confront a decades old mystery involving Adolf Hitler and the tragic death of Argentina's beloved First Lady, Eva Peron.
Ended
The "Butterflies", an elite problem solving group under the direction of the U.S. First Lady, have just completed an assignment in the Sinai Desert. Butterfly members Mariposa, P, Z, and Mrs. Cleaver meet up again in Buenos Aires. They are joined by Team Leader, Calhoun.
The assignment in Argentina ostensibly involves working with a community of impoverished women living near the capital. But it soon becomes apparent that the women of Buenos Aires are hiding a monstrous secret.
As had happened in Sinai, Mariposa begins to experience strange, psychic phenomena. The spirit of long-dead Eva Peron, Argentina's beloved "Evita", appears to be communicating! Eva's Spirit guides "The Butterflies" on a journey into the surreal area of Argentina's Patagonia. There, an extraordinary discovery is made: the body of a man, preserved for eternity.
It is believed, at first, to be the remains of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, who is alleged to have escaped Germany in 1945.
But Mariposa and the Butterflies soon uncover another astounding possibility, a possibility that could change the world forever!
The "Me Too" Movement has grown from a small wave to a tsunami of female empowerment: my books are aimed at enlightened women.

Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.
Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
