Genre: Supernatural Thriller

BACK OF THE BOOK

Cameron Stone imagined he heard the airman’s words again and, as he did, he spoke under his breath. “I am going to find you.”

It is March 15th 1944 and Second Lieutenant George Hailey, an outstanding African American pilot, is presumed dead, along with the rest of his crew, when his Catalina seaplane disappears on its return to Lough Erne in Northern Ireland.

80 years later, a young history professor, Cameron Stone, is examining a WW2 photograph of George Hailey when the airman and his dog come alive. “Find me!” the pilot cries.

Teaming up with the missing man’s granddaughter, Maya Hailey, Stone travels to Northern Ireland only to uncover a terrifying and sinister conspiracy that puts both their lives in grave danger.

Dead Man Talking is the first in a series of supernatural thrillers involving Maya Hailey (a former pastor) and Cameron Stone (a history professor) – an unlikely duo whose synergy is as powerful as their growing chemistry.

BACK OF THE BOOK

She’ll burn it to the ground…

The ashes have settled since Calay’s harrowing escape back to Earth, but the threat from the Others–and humanity itself–hasn’t. After surviving devastating losses and impossible choices, Calay drags herself to the doorstep of the one place she never wanted to return: The Resistance.

Forced to trust hidden motives and questionable loyalties, Calay intimately knows the only way they survive, is together. But as she dives deeper into alien territory, her new reality is even more alarming than she could have anticipated. A perma-winter has settled over the planet. A strange new league of mutations has emerged amongst the Others. And despite her best efforts, past decisions come back to haunt Calay–taunt her.  

It doesn’t take long for her plans to go horribly wrong. Her terror is compounded when she realizes she’s not only trapped with the enemy–a group that would gladly kill her if they knew her secrets–but that she’s actually started to care for them; especially Briar, the tea-loving, open-hearted woman who makes Calay feel like home.

In these final dying days, stars collide and the darkness within ignites. The world’s future is in Calay’s hands and she must decide what’s more important: saving herself, or saving what makes us human.

Hopeful and devastating, The Stars Inside Us is the third volume in Kristy Gardner’s enthralling queer sci-fi series, The Broken Stars.

That is, until she can get to outer space. She resides in Vancouver, BC with her partner.

BACK OF THE BOOK

Only the strongest survive the Ride…

Aurora Verte grew up as a proper lady in the Realm—until her father betrayed the sovereign. Forced to run from her family home, she meets Leora of Mae, a peasant with extraordinary abilities; Roland Shallowbrook, a traveler on the Thieves’ Road; and Leopold, a former White Rider and her half-brother. Together they become The Four and vow to overthrow the Realm’s corrupt leader.

During their journey beyond the Border of the Realm, they come under siege from a violent gang, who attack without warning and kidnap Aurora. She is rescued from their clutches by a rival gang, but fears her saviors might be just as inhumane. With no way to contact the rest of The Four and realizing she is completely dependent on her new captors, Aurora must prove her worth.

She soon realizes that all terrors aren’t human when she is forced to make her first supply run and encounters a group of ‘wretched’—monstrous, undead humans with seemingly unlimited stamina.

Aurora must now not only battle for survival, but discover if she is more than the coddled lady she was raised to be.

This fast-paced adventure is a companion novella to Test of the Four: Book Two of The Serrulata Saga and should be read after that book.

Publisher: Whitefox Publishing Ltd

BACK OF THE BOOK

A visionary debut collection exploring the rise of artificial intelligence and adapted technologies and their ethical and social impacts on the human experience.

From a small rural American town subjected to horrors brought by an elaborate deep-fake hoax, to Black Mirror-esque fables about technology dependency, age extension, and psychological invasions, Artificial Artifacts invites readers on a journey where the boundaries between human and machine blur, and the consequences of our creations become chillingly profound.

As enigmatic tech mogul Peter Byrell’s story unfolds, so does the tapestry of our digital age, leaving us to ponder: in a world where truth is malleable and consciousness is encoded, what does it truly mean to be human?

An Oakland, California, police detective suspects a heroin death was actually a homicide in this new crime thriller from the author of the DI Manx series.

Catalina Gomez was seventeen, an A student, and a volunteer at a local nonprofit. When her body was found in the lake at an Oakland park, contaminated heroin was blamed—but Catalina had just one needle mark on her body. Could her first time shooting up have also been her last?

Det. Roscoe Tanner thinks not, and smells something fishy about this supposedly accidental death. After having to break the devastating news to the girl’s parents, Tanner is furious when his boss pressures him to focus on a trivial case instead. As more details about Catalina’s life and death begin to emerge, will Tanner decide that delving into the secrets of the powerful and corrupt is worth risking his entire career?

An umbrella is opened indoors. A black cat crosses your path. Three cigarettes are lit from one match. These are omens of bad luck that no one takes seriously. But at Van Buren University when these and other superstitions are broken, students die.

Sophomore Jerry Williams’ hard-hitting reporting has won awards for Van Buren’s school newspaper. But when he connects a series of campus deaths to bad luck, his editor questions Jerry’s judgment, kills the story, and suspends him from the paper.  The superstition-related havoc continues, and Darla, Jerry’s new girlfriend, barely escapes with her life. When Jerry digs deeper into the mystery and publishes his findings in the school’s alternative newspaper, the university administration threatens him with suspension for causing a panic. But Jerry’s reporting instincts won’t let him stop. With his friends and everyone else on campus at risk, it’s not like Jerry has much of a choice.

As Friday the 13th approaches, Jerry fears a catastrophe. He must uncover who or what is behind these bad luck deaths and determine how to stop it.

But her evening is disturbed by a stranger, James, dressed as a penguin cradling a weak kitten. As Felicity and James work together to nurse the sick feline back to health, it gives them the perfect excuse to bond over their mutual dislike of all things festive. And soon sparks fly. 

But their attraction is interrupted when Felicity’s ex-boyfriend, Adam, returns to declare his undying love. 

And when Felicity is let down by both men she decides to return to her childhood home for some peace. While there, she uncovers an array of family secrets and even more about herself, which may just encourage her to make a choice between Adam and James. 

Can the ex outwit the penguin and win Felicity’s heart this Christmas?
