Magic Mafia. Sorcerer Police. A girl on the run from both.
Helena Martin doesn't know who she hates more, the sorcerers who fired the magic-laced bullet or the gang-lord master who used her mother as a shield. It's not the price she expected for escaping magical slavery, nor is the unstable power now pulsing in her veins.
Caught between her former master's hunters and the Guild Sorcerers determined to kill them, she finds a safe haven at a dog rescue willing to take in a different kind of stray. But Helena's newly-unleashed power is a beacon for her enemies. And they're threatening the first place she's ever thought of as home.

The Secrets of Hawthorne House
The Secrets of Hawthorne House Donald Firesmith
Fifteen-year-old Matt Mitchell was having the worst summer imaginable. Matt’s misery started when a drunk driver killed his mother. Then Matt’s father moved him and his sister to a small town in rural Indiana, as far as his grieving father could get from the ocean that his mother had loved. At the new high school, three bullies were determined to make Matt miserable. And to top it off, Matt learned that the recluse who lived in the dilapidated Victorian mansion next door was none other than Old Lady Hawthorne, the town’s infamous witch and murderer. Matt’s terrible summer was turning into an awful autumn when something quite unexpected happened. Old Lady Hawthorne’s niece and her three children moved in next door, and Matt met Gerallt.
Amazing story! I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I couldn't put it down.

A wonderful story from an outstanding author. It's the STUFF of sci-fi dreams!
Excellent cover!

Boomers for the Stars (COMPLETE Hugo-nominate...
Boomers for the Stars (COMPLETE Hugo-nominated novella) Sue Hollister Barr
Thanks to stellar advances in longevity, Earth is overrun by Baby Boomers well into their hundreds. Social Security being the stuff of history books, subsequent generations must find some way to put all those Boomers to good use…challenging since few have minds that have survived along with their bodies. But the silver lining is that few can complain about what some of those uses are.
Mary, born in 1948, was never the good girl hoping to catch a husband her family expected. Instead, all she ever wanted was to somehow, someday make it to the stars. Now, she might finally have lived long enough to see her wish come true. But only if she can escape the dangers of her nursing home, save other Boomers there thinking they're Marilyn Monroe and Napoleon…and actually remember her own name.

A fun and quirky science fiction read!
Baby boomers dreaming of higher things? Oh yes, count me in. The real innovation in science fiction is a lot closer to home than we realize - among us. Sue Hollister Barr's Boomers of the Stars is just a small slice of a much large pie of magnificence we need right now. Don't miss it.
An unusual futuristic setting in an old people's home. To begin with I was as confused as the Altzheimer residents who are the central characters of the story. This was mainly because of the Japanese slang. But the story kept me on track. It held my attention because the action was from the point of view of 2 residents and the rather dodgy manager of the home. I liked that it focused on attitudes to an aging populus and the illnesses which often go alongside this. It's easy to read once you get over the Japanese slang. The characters are engaging and believable as is the futuristic world it's set in.
Sharp, layered and a rollicking ride from the first chapter, SHIPS by Sue Hollister Barr put me squarely in this unlikely heroine's shoes and left me wanting more.

Horizon Alpha: Predators of Eden
Horizon Alpha: Predators of Eden Future House Publishing
Two hundred years ago, the great Ark Horizon Alpha escaped a doomed Earth and went searching for a new home. The passengers landed on Teu Ceti expecting paradise, but instead they discovered a planet stuck in its own version of the cretaceous period. The humans’ one defense against the dinosaurs ravaging the planet is an electric fence, built from the remains of the shuttles that brought them there.
But Eden base has only days of power left.
With most of the adult men dead, rookie soldier Caleb Wilde and his unit of teenage boys leave the electric fences of Eden in search of a reactor core lost deep in the jungle.
The last remnant of the human race waits behind the electric fence for their return. The dinosaurs wait, too—for the electricity to die and the feast to begin.

I'm delighted to be able to include Rosi Russell's Caretaker which includes a world so deftly described that it blooms before you as if you'd stepped into an IMAX theater, not just turned a page in a book. The quality of her writing far exceeds the genre. This is literature.
This is such a great book cover, very intriguing!

Tesseracts fold time and space. I inherited the ability to both find and control them.
Unlimited access to all universes. Sort of.
Yea, freaky. I know too well how freaky.
So I spent my life on the move - through many times, and many spaces. Forgetting where and when I'd been wasn't an option. My salvation was mastering the trick of retracing my path. To find my original home, to find the love I'd lived so long without.
It wasn't just missing a normal childhood.
If I didn't figure out how to get my life back under control, I'd just be growing older.
Alone.
Without any home or family or lover to ever call my own.
(Contains cliffhanger ending...)

Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!

Orphaned on a world similar to pre-shogunate Japan, Faith longs for her old life and the civilization that has left her behind. When the man who is responsible for kidnapping her sister returns to the planet where she has been abandoned, she hatches a plan that will restore peace to the indigenous people, get her memories back from the man who stole them, and avenge the death of her family.

Sarina Dorie's The Memory Thief is perhaps not all that probable, but a fun romp through an off-world steampunk romance with fascinatingly elaborate plotting.

The Case of a Cruising Phantom by S. H. Marpel Midwest Journal Press
I knew exactly why I was still here. To haunt whoever had pushed me overboard.
My only problem was finding them. And if they weren't still alive, they had relatives.
Meanwhile, I kept amused by haunting the ship's passengers and crew. And the cruise line didn't have a problem with it. Their "haunted cruises" were a big hit. Full capacity for this old boat and its evening dinner cruises out beyond the harbor.
"Misstep Mary" they called me. Even had a faded photo of me blown up and cut out so passengers could take photos with me "haunting" them. Because they ruled my death accidental. But would I still be here if it was?
So I arranged for the Ghost Hunters to show up and solve this. Otherwise, there was no peaceful 'going into the light'. Getting revenge might be all I get...

To rescue a 12,000 year old ghost, you have to learn to breathe water.
Our next mystery to solve was the toughest yet. We thought ourselves prepared to deal with being submerged several hundred feet below the surface.

I didn't have long to wait after we arrived.
Because something pulled me out of that shield and wanted to talk with me right now - deep underwater, ready or not...

Alex Burgendorf has been living in her aunt’s locket for the past sixteen years. However, time is running out. Alex must find her Bender, or the fate of the Supernaturals might be at stake.

But I know he's my protector, slaying the demons that get too close and saving me from whatever seeks to harm me, even myself. I just want a normal life. But I'm not normal. And nothing is as it seems. Not even Shadow. He's so much more than I imagined.
My fear and destiny collide to bring me to the doorstep of a place I never dreamed possible. I won't be alone. Shadow will be there. And so will they. The dead. Because I'm never alone.

We were children of the gods, known to be the most dangerous and powerful species to ever live.
That was why we were hunted.
With both Depleters and Collectors seeking to eradicate our kind, we hid within moving villages throughout the Wild Lands with only one rule: Never go near another Gods Child.
But that rule was broken the moment I met Jackie.
And in that moment, our fates were set in stone.

Gray Tide in the East: An alternate history of the First World War Andrew Heller
August 1, 1914, Berlin: Kaiser Wilhelm II cancels the German invasion of Belgium over the objections of his generals, sending his armies East against Russia instead of West to France, and sets off a chain of events that will radically change the course of modern history.
Gray Tide in the East is the best-selling counterfactual history of the First World War, if the Germans had not invaded Belgium in 1914 and thereby brought Great Britain and, eventually, the United States into the war. The carefully researched story is told by a host of real historical figures both famous (William Jennings Bryan, Winston Churchill) and obscure (Albert Dawson, Joost van Vollenhoven) and spans the globe from Washington, D.C. to Hanoi, from bloody battlefields to the secret chambers of diplomats.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
Some say this book has a harry potter feeling, but it's a completely novel story and unique magic world. The world is beautiful because it's full with magic elements of seven types, each in a designated color - just like the rainbow code! That said, those colors could only be seen by some special eyes, such as Soarame's!
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they were called "magimals". A well-known example is dragons, and we all know how strong they are. However, they are still not the most powerful kind of magimals, because each type of magic has a king kind - and never underestimate a magimal just because it looks cute and little!

The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small cabin and solitude so he could write his detective stories.
These ladies had another offer - to help them solve the reasons ghosts don't move on. Plenty of new inspiration for stories, decent pay, won't interrupt his writing schedule.
Of course, he could die doing it...

I love this cover. A thrilling and traditional concept - love going old skool!
This is clever writing and a clever story. Calling a hero Chaos is a clue to what is to follow. Conflict and suspense and surprising twists. Complicated world and some not so very nice characters. I love a baddie - demons taking human form to do what? Well you'll have to get it to find out! A great read

Deliverance at Van Demon’s Deep
Deliverance at Van Demon’s Deep S. P. Stevens
How far does camaraderie stretch, when it’s life and death?
Demon’s Deep mine is out of action. The miners are missing, and psychotic savages—The Unbound—have taken it over. Unfortunately, where the Unbound go, bad magic follows. Magic which mutates living things, and liquefies rock.
Kiprik, long suffering leader of his elite snatch squad, must rescue the miners before army commanders run out of patience and start pumping poison gas. With his meat-headed corporal and loyal friend Stack at his side, he’ll face up to any threat, and stick an axe in its face, so long as the sneering Padre Brax doesn’t get in the way.
But this is a task which will see Kiprik and his crew going to the very bottom of the mine, where the deepest magic and the darkest truths lurk.

This is a interesting twist on the old trope of humans vs. aliens. What you will find is that this is not your ordinary shoot-em-up space adventure. What you get is a lot more insightful, and for that I tip my hat to this author.

When Sue crash-lands back on Earth, she didn't know what to expect. What she found was a telepathic wolf pack, capable of reasoning and the dominant life form on the planet. They were in a fight for survival with the feral species of wolves, as well as the remnants of humankind.
In the first part of this, Sue learns to communicate and to travel with the pack as they fight and escape from the hunting ferals. In doing so, she fights alongside Tig, the hunting pack leader, to save both their lives.
What she wanted was to get back to the moon base to rescue her family. She didn't know how bad the collapse was.
But before she can get anywhere, she has to prove to the sentient wolf pack that she can be trusted. This means a "probe." Something no human has survived.

On the Eve of Snows, come heavens or hells, war will rage.

Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Midwest Journal Press
Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph who needed her help.
What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant he was going to perish out there when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow?
Regardless, she just couldn't leave him out there. And in spite of his attitude, he was kind of cute, pointy ears and all.
If only she didn't have to now fend off her farm from other very real fairy-tale creatures, like goblins and witches, and of course, more trolls...
(Warning: contains cliffhanger...)

Sigmund always believed that the only reality there is in the world is the one which we all perceive: waking up, paying the bills, being depressed and working to make a living. Although when comparing to others, he wondered why he and his family are always alone in the world: moving from place to place, knowing no one but his own mother and siblings, nor he has a clue of his ancestry's story.

But ALL SECRETS MUST EVENTUALLY BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT when one night he encounters the 'Stranger' that will alter his beliefs and start his journey towards discovering his family's mysterious and controversial history.

Flash Back [preview]
Flash Back [preview] Ellison Blackburn
In the not too distant future, a bioengineering breakthrough—touted the modern-day fountain of youth—will change the world, one life at a time.
Meet Charley; she has regrets. On the verge of depression, she longs for the road not taken. Now, finding Renovation, she might have a second chance to undo or instead redo some of her past mistakes.
Transforming from fifty-four to seventeen those long since buried dreams would be again within her grasp. The best part: behind the fresh face of youth, Charley would be the same; two things only life-regression and regeneration can promise.
Her decision could warp her current, well-established lifestyle, however, creating a chasm between herself and the ones she loves.

Her decision could warp her current, well-established lifestyle, however, creating a chasm between herself and the ones she loves.
Ellison Blackburn’s protagonist is eminently relatable, and the mess of issues Charley faces in trying to make peace between her desires and her responsibilities will be shockingly familiar to many readers. Set in the near future, the story explores cutting-edge theories in both prosthetics and biology, while the level of psychological detail brings a realistic edge to the narrative and the characters spring vividly to life. Flash Back is well-written, with an analytical, laser-focus on the workings of inter-personal connections. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought that there must be something better in life, then this book is definitely for you.
Smart fantasy featuring smart women! An intellectual Indiana Jones with a female protagonist.

The Autists by J. R. Kruze Midwest Journal Press
Carol and Reggie were different. They thought different. Reggie could talk "the ears off a corn stalk." He was an expert on history, like a walking Wikipedia on ancient times (if people could stand to listen to him.) Carol hardly talked, but her hugs could tell you the world. She could solve quintic polynomial equations. And a 4x4 Rubic's cube with one hand.
They were autists. "Special needs" people. Savants, kind of.
They were perfect for each other. Or maybe not. So different.
Between them, they understood the universe.
It was no small surprise that they were part of the next stage in human evolution. The one that's already here. Of course they knew it. But most of humanity didn't...

The Calling
The Calling DH Bookstore
To be different…
My entire life I’ve always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different is treated as a crime. In my case, I was granted a pass. I was given a second chance to prove that I could fall in line, but with my lack of power, that would be impossible.
In only a few months, I must present my abilities to the council and prove to them that I am worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, my tormentor and superior officer, will stop at nothing to keep me from excelling. Being powerless and not proving myself means that I could be made a slave, and Artemis would become my master.

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.

If There Be Giants [preview] Ellison Blackburn
Archaeologist Dr. Mallory Jacks has uncovered a strange creature amidst familiar surroundings. The discovery could change the world’s perspective of anthropology and science, as well as shake the religious faith of millions. However, the latter is beside the scientific point.
That the newly found artifacts do not fit logically into the historical timeline of life on the planet is a point of some contention. And…this could be just the cusp of the megalithic problem; who knows what other twists will arise as the project continues.
Then, Grey McKnight becomes enmeshed in the mystery. If Mallory didn’t care it wouldn’t matter, but she does, a little too much, in fact. With each passing day, the upheaval surrounding the findings threatens to shatter their lives into countless surreal pieces.

Then, Grey McKnight becomes enmeshed in the mystery. If Mallory didn’t care it wouldn’t matter, but she does, a little too much, in fact. With each passing day, the upheaval surrounding the findings threatens to shatter their lives into countless surreal pieces.
Ellison Blackburn’s protagonist is eminently relatable, and the mess of issues Charley faces in trying to make peace between her desires and her responsibilities will be shockingly familiar to many readers. Set in the near future, the story explores cutting-edge theories in both prosthetics and biology, while the level of psychological detail brings a realistic edge to the narrative and the characters spring vividly to life. Flash Back is well-written, with an analytical, laser-focus on the workings of inter-personal connections. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought that there must be something better in life, then this book is definitely for you.
Smart fantasy featuring smart women! An intellectual Indiana Jones with a female protagonist.
These stories take you deep into new worlds and hold you there until you finish. A perfect escape from our too-serious world. Leaves you looking for more by this author...

Of course it was a normal day. SNAFU - as usual.
But no one noticed, as usual.
The world felt more and more programmed. Or pre-programmed. Life had become a video game, a matrix-spawn. All around me thought this was normal
But no one considered that I would simply revolt.
Because I found out a secret. By visiting an old used book store. One where they somehow made a living selling used books over and over. There were no monitors there, no TV. Smartphones stayed in pockets, preferably off. This store even had a local jammer installed just to make sure people didn't interrupt other people.
That day, I found a secret. Written in print on an actual piece of paper.
It started a revolution. It pulled me out of "sync" - and so I was hunted...

If the North Had Won the Civil War: a preview Andrew Heller
From the author of Gray Tide in the East and Tidal Effects comes a unique look at the American Civil War. If the North Had Won the Civil War is two alternate history novels in one. The modern story follows author and history professor Jack Sawyer, his fiancée Annabelle, fellow history professor Buzz Hanson and Buzz's girlfriend, Lydia through a nightmarish modern-day Confederacy where any person with a drop of black blood in his veins is denied basic human rights and confined to a "Preserve." Jack’s book, "If the North Had Won the Civil War", attacks deeply held Southern beliefs, a crime in the CSA. Interwoven with the modern story is Jack's alternate history of the Civil War, written with the painstaking historical authenticity Mr. Heller's fans have come to expect.

Elias Holm is the Commandant of the Marine Corps, a hero who has fought a hundred battles all across human-occupied space. He's led massive armies in the greatest battles ever fought in space. But once he was only a captain, thrust into command when a crucial operation went horribly awry.
The Second Frontier War had raged for a decade. Throughout human-occupied space, worlds were in ruins, the battlegrounds of the Superpowers' eternal struggle.

Why this tiny, suffering pixie was hunted by a monster troll seemed to be a simple urge - he needed to feed off her energy to keep living.

The troll needed food, but she had a secret message to deliver.
And that one message could prevent humans and fairies from losing a coming troll war...

DL Richardson is a writing powerhouse. Anyone who reads her work is in for a treat.

When there are no more governments, other than on paper, one Corporation will rule and solve all povertey and warfare. The solution enabled people to stay "jacked in" and code 24/7, loving the opportunity.
***If the Matrix had a prequel, this would be it.***
Excerpt:
We were called to war. And all volunteers. Not for god or country but for our corporation.
The global one. The one we were all warned against. It came in the back door that had built into our culture. The China-Russia pact had founded it, and gradually its handouts and bribes co-opted all the governments until it was just the U.S. and a handful of holdouts that weren’t on board. Until they were.
Our job was simple. We coded. All day, all night. Jacked in and plugged in with all the nutrients we needed to keep us going...

When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
