Love this cover! Can't wait to read this one!
Well, I love any story to do with the Holy Grail add my second fav genre, paranormal, this sounds like a very exciting read. Of course, there would have to be a romance, his princess what makes me step back and think is the mention of a mental illness. Is all this a figure of his imagination? It's a short story and very intriguing.
Can't wait.
The Disappeared (Short Story)
The Disappeared (Short Story) Irving Belateche
Robert Grayson was becoming invisible. There was no doubt about it. And it made sense if you took a second to think about it. Robert was an average guy with an average job in an average American suburb. Invisibility was bound to happen. So the question wasn't why was he becoming invisible, it was were there other invisible people out there, too?
"Like the great Ray Bradbury, Belateche invents a world much like yours and mine but with that one twist that makes it different." -- A. Silver

Boomers for the Stars (COMPLETE novella)
Boomers for the Stars (COMPLETE 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.
Very interesting cover art, and love futuristic tales involving aliens...especially when I wrote about one particular shapeshifting alien that escapes from Area 51 in one of my books. I always love to see the interesting twists and turns other writers force their characters into to see how they deal with such obstacles.

Shambleau by C. L. Moore
Shambleau by C. L. Moore Midwest Classics Press
HAD Northwest Smith, the famous outlaw of the spaceways, been able to foresee the future, he would not have shielded the frightened, scarlet-clad girl from the wild mob pursuing her through the narrow streets of Lakkdarol, Earth's last colony on Mars. "Shambleau! Shambleau!" the crowd cried with loathing and disgust, but Smith drove them off with his blaster and took the exhausted girl to his quarters. There was no hair upon her face — neither brows nor lashes; but what lay hidden beneath the tight scarlet turban bound around her head?
So begins one of the strangest, and possibly the most famous, of stories by C. L. Moore. When it first appeared "Shambleau" was acclaimed by readers, authors, and editors as the debut of a truly gifted talent...

The Best Laid Plans K.T. Davies
Theft, treachery, and the unquiet dead...
Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn't, it's a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that's a story.
After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn't being attacked by bandits, he's on a mission to save a damsel in distress being held somewhere in the doom-haunted Scathblight Mountains.
A bargain is struck, gold is promised, and trouble ensues.
Dark, grim and wickedly funny, The Best Laid Plans is an anarchic, baroque and roll introduction to the award shortlisted 'The Chronicles of Breed'

I loved this story! It drew me in and hooked me. I stayed up late reading it. Astrid’s character while starting out thinking she’s a monster and unsure of her past, comes to love and appreciate herself. In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be. She’s strong, courageous, and vulnerable—all the things a good heroine needs to be. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
Strong characters and great story!
This looks intense! Just the type of read I love diving into!! I'm excited to find out more. :) I love the cover as well. :)
Fantastic cover and intriguing synopsis. Excited to find out more...
This cover catches my eye every time. I can't wait to dive into this book!

The Case of a Cruising Phantom by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
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...

In the Blue, the world’s last city, all is not well.
Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate. The Blue is her prison, not her castle, and she’d escape into the trees if she didn’t know that contamination and death awaited humanity outside.
But not everyone in the Blue is human, and not everyone can be contained.
Beyond the city’s boundaries, in the wild forests of the Red, Cameron has precious little humanity left to lose. As he searches for a lost queen, he finds an enemy rising that he thought long dead. An enemy that the humans have forgotten how to fight.
One way or another, the walls of the Blue are going to come down.

Love dragons. Looking forward to reading this.

The Sky Drifter Paris Singer
Ever felt like the rug got swept from under you…? I have enough to deal with: Quantum Physics class is stupid hard, I got my knee dislocated again in Sphere, and No-Face insists on showing up where he's not wanted.
Now I keep seeing some strange girl around, but when I tell my friends about it, she disappears before they can see her.
UPDATE: Sometimes I wish I'd never met her. Even if everything sucked sometimes, at least it made sense. But now that she's shown me what's really going on, I need to get off this ship - fast! Hopefully, in one piece.
Will Seven be able to escape the Sky Drifter before it’s too late?

Murder, Mystery, and Magic:
Mandamon Feldo is scheduled to meet a high-profile diplomat, but instead finds the diplomat dead in a pool of blood on the floor of his office. Even worse, the diplomat had been holding a list of the members of The Society of Two Houses, a secret organization existing inside the maji. An organization to which Mandamon belongs.
If the list gets out, the Society—which brings innovation and new technology to the Nether— may crumble under the weight of the secrets it holds. Often, the ends are seen to justify the means when developing new ideas, and the Society has done its share of cleaning up ‘accidents.’ Before the murderer releases the information, Mandamon must figure out who would kill the diplomat and betray The Society of Two Houses.

Climb the Unclimbable!
Natina grew up studying the artifacts found by her mother, a famous explorer. Now, her mother has discovered an ancient machine able to drill into the previously impenetrable mineral of the Nether, and is leading an expedition to climb its incredibly high walls for the very first time. She wants Natina to be part of the expedition, but Natina is more comfortable helping her parents research at home—if only her mother were home more often.
The Nether's walls are smooth like crystal, any fall will mean certain death, and no one knows what, or who, may lurk above the clouds. It could be the chance of a lifetime for Natina, and a good way to learn how her mother became the most famous explorer of the ten species—if they survive.

As the Bay Area descends into barbaric violence, Nathan and his friends fight like wolves to reach safety.
Despite their ferocity, they become the terrorists' hostages. As Nathan matches wits with the plot's mastermind—whose goals may be closer to Nathan’s than he’d like to believe—the manipulation and intrigue force him

Hunted by evil, her only escape was to find the light, but her broken wings couldn't carry her to safety.
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.
Only a few hours to daylight, when the troll had to sleep to avoid the burning rays of sunlight, or being found by Truth-Seekers and forever imprisoned in stone. After the sun rose, she could heal herself by bathing in sunlight and escape forever.
But why was this troll out of his territory and why was he hunting her? Not just his hunger, that much was certain.
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...

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...

Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel
Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
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...)

The Case of the Sunken Spirit by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
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.
My question was how to communicate with something who was older than all civilization as we knew it. What did it have in common with our modern culture? How to talk through an energy shield built to withstand the pressures of that depth?
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...

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.

The reader is TOLD nothing, but EXPERIENCES everything. Truly magnificent writing!

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.

All of Us Were Sophie
All of Us Were Sophie Resa Nelson
A traditional murder mystery with a high-tech twist.
Sophie Rippetoe has a problem. Trapped by a killer with no way out, she desperately uses a new and untested machine to make copies of herself--even though she knows the process will destroy her. Her three exact duplicates, complete with Sophie's life experience and memories, must evade not only the killer but being discovered by the rest of the world.
There's one stumbling block: the duplication process destroys short-term memory. The duplicates can't remember the past few weeks of the original Sophie's life. Knowing this before copying herself, Sophie set up clues about the preceding days that might help her duplicates identify the killer.
Unless the killer finds them first.

I loved this story! It drew me in and hooked me. I stayed up late reading it. Astrid’s character while starting out thinking she’s a monster and unsure of her past, comes to love and appreciate herself. In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be. She’s strong, courageous, and vulnerable—all the things a good heroine needs to be. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
Strong characters and great story!

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...

Book One of the bestselling Portal Wars series...
Erastus. An unimaginable nightmare. A searing hot world, covered with cracked, burning deserts and sweltering jungles. A hostile planet far from Earth, it was the most hellish place men have ever tried to survive.

The opposite of life isn't death; it's something far worse.
In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.
But when a distress message from a distant research probe is received, Novos Corp reactivates Alvarez's contract. He must carry out one last mission, a rescue attempt. Unknown to Alvarez, however, is the hidden threat that awaits him, one that—if he cannot stop it—will doom humanity to a fate worse than death.

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?
