I can't possibly complement the cover's work enough. the choice of shades and colors is fantastic :)
wow what a cover.
nice cover :)
Beatrice Sand has the rare, almost subconscious skill to explore the mind of a young woman who does not yet know precisely who she is and what all of that might amount to. The real cliffhanger in her stories is the chase as we follow behind, waiting to see if the heroine realizes her own immensity of personality and character, in addition to the interactions between the main characters. Growing into who she is, she is a spectacle, one we can't help watching.
Excellent cover here , and compelling description a must read for me

Ace Tucker Space Trucker (Preview) James R. Tramontana
Can a dimwitted trucker, a Russian cyborg chimp, a KFC cashier and a talking Basset hound help Elvis Presley defeat an evil time-traveling alien hellbent on destroying the galaxy?
Ace Tucker is a man who was raised in outer space and taught how to be human by a Russian cyborg chimpanzee. Ace earns a living as a rock-and-roll roadie and cargo hauler for the greatest band in the galaxy, Mustache Supernova. His world is turned upside down the night he meets Elvis Presley, the very not-dead King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. When Ace saves Elvis from an alien assassin he must travel to Memphis, Tennessee to restore Presley’s health. But things are not what they seem at Elvis’s pastoral home, Graceland. There, Ace makes a discovery that has the power to shape the future (and potentially undo the past).

Now there's a cover that's designed to send me on my merry way to Valhalla! Great title, and an even better youtube unicorn death rock anthem. Keep up the brilliantly insane work.

I have to admit that I'm a little biased when it comes to Andrew's work (I'm honoured to call him a friend). However, when I say that his stuff is some of the freakiest, weirdest and most far-out comics around I mean that from the heart.
If you like space creatures, bright colours and cool story lines then Andrew is your man and the GalaXafreaks are your comic.
Misguided Knight of the Onyx Order
Misguided Knight of the Onyx Order AJ Flowers
No one crosses the Onyx Queen and survives.
Lance is a Knight of the Onyx Order and one of the Queen's favorites. When a change seeds into his soul, he discovers his heart belongs to a shieldmaiden of the Pearl, a female warrior whose eyes blaze like the sun. When the Onyx Queen discovers his treachery, she'll give them both a chance to survive in a series of trials, if only for her own amusement.
But this is no game. The Pearl have a trick up their sleeve. The Onyx Order could unravel completely and Lance must choose where his loyalties truly lie.
Misguided Knight of the Onyx Order is the first novelette in the "Ancient Realms" collection.

A preview of The Breathing Sea I:
Dasha is a gift from the gods. Only she’s not very gifted. Or at least so it seems to her.
Eighteen years ago, Dasha’s mother made a bargain with the gods. She would bear a gods-touched child, one who would stand on the threshold between the worlds, human and divine. Dasha is that child, now almost ready to become a woman, and one day take her mother’s place as Empress of all of Zem’. Except that Dasha is shy, lonely, and one of the least magically inclined girls in the Known World. Instead she has fits and uncontrollable visions. When she sets off with her father on her first journey away from her home kremlin, she hopes she will finally find someone who can help her come into her powers. But those whom she finds only want to use her instead.

'Winter of the Gods' is a fantastic title. The premise, a reimagining of classic Russian fairy tales, is even more interesting. If you're looking for stories of warriors and magic, give it a try!

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Great cover and an intriguing premise.
I'm delighted to include Patty Jansen's Ambassador 1: Seeing Red among my "select few." Deftly and swiftly, her beginning shifts into high, machine-gunning intriquing clues vis a vis later reveals. One knows just enough about what's going on to continue reading without scratching one's head, but not enough to make the whole book a fait accompli. Quick immersion in tight, realistic action promises a great read.
No matter what Patty Jansen writes, there is always that underlying personality that makes her books interesting AND there are her sometimes wildly imaginative worlds that forgo the bounds of what we all know and expect. They give us something entertaining and surprising. And she is Australian. If that comment doesn't make sense then you will have to just read her stories to see what I mean. It is meant in a good way.
Incredible work by an author I truly admire!
Very intriguing! This is promising to be very interesting series... Keep it coming, Patty!

The city of Parole is burning. Like Venice slips into the sea, Parole crumbles into fire.
The entire population inside has been quarantined, cut off from the rest of the world, and left to die - directly over the open flame. Eye in the Sky, a deadly and merciless police force ensures no one escapes. Ever. All that's keeping Parole alive is faith in the midst of horrors and death, trust in the face of desperation... and their fantastic, terrifying, and beautiful superhuman abilities.
Regan, silent, scaly stealth expert, is haunted by ten years of anxiety, trauma and terror, and he's finally reached his limit. His ability to disappear into thin air isn't enough: he needs an escape, and he'll do anything for a chance.

Writing about martial skills that no longer exist is always a challenge, and Chris Turner pulls it off with his swordplay descriptions. Nice when characters have depth, showing different personalities.

That neon title really steals the show! Very eye catching, and I love the concept of reinterpreting fairy tales in a cyberpunk setting.
A fascinating take on ancient Greek mythology! Opening chapters bring the reader right into this page-turning story. Don't miss out!
This story looks intriguing, and I've never read a book centered around a fox before! I'm excited to learn more, and I like your cover as well! :)
Love the title and the premise! Can't wait to read it!

I'm a big fan of Jay Allan's work and love his style. Lots of great action, he's a writer who is right in my wheelhouse.
This is one of Jay Allan's best MSF Series you will ever read. I gave this Book 4 Stars on Goodreads and the story gets even better in Books 2 and 3. Check out my Review on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1549693826
Read this book awhile back and it's still as good as ever with plenty of action and adventure to be had.
Lindsay Buroker's Fallen Empire Collection has caught my interest. I'm sure others will enjoy it too!

Lucifer’s Fall is a beautifully written short story that asks power questions and makes me want to pick up the first book of her series to find out what happened next.
love the cover!
You had me with the cover and the title, even before I read the description. I feel like I'm a 'misguided knight' in the wrong time period so I look forward to reading this series.
Love the cover for this one! It instantly caught my attention. Gonna need to download this one for myself! :D
Original and exciting! Love this take on Lucifer.

Denise Matthew Jones

Sure, she was born into a post-apocalyptic world right before the crash, where soldiers tried to kill you and zombies tried to eat you, but that was the least of her worries.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
The River's Bane - A Bander Adventure
The River's Bane - A Bander Adventure Randy Nargi
A Sword & Sorcery Adventure: Bander’s appearance is deceiving. Looking at his hulking, battle-scarred body, you might think he was a just brawling warrior or even a gladiator. He stands nearly seven feet tall and weighs as much as a stag. But beneath the brawn is a keen mind that never stops solving mysteries. Both have served him well during his long career as the Imperial Investigator in the capital city of Rundlun. Three years ago, Bander retired—and now spends his days wandering the countryside, enjoying the peace and quiet.
But one day—when he takes a seldom-traveled trail through some of the roughest terrain in the Empire—he encounters conspiracy and murder in a remote mining village.

They said I would never finish flight school. Never rank at the top of my class. Never fly with the top aces. Never return from combat against the Kelton androids. Never survive emergency surgery.
Here I am.
The year is 2151, Earth is gone. A hell scape. I’ve been awoken after 72 years of cryosleep on a medical facility on Saturn’s moon, Titan. I have nothing, no home, no friends, no concept of this new world, these Titans.
All that remains is the old conflict that has blackened my veins and memories of the ones I loved still fresh in my heart. Forgotten for decades.
But it seems war hasn’t forgotten me, no, even in my slumber. My name is Captain Victoria Ann Belic, I was a wife and an ace fighter pilot, and have been revived for one reason—to die again.
