Book excerpt: In a world of suffering and brutality, she's the key to his humanity ...I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they'd taken.For the greater good.Now, after four years in Calico, I've seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn't think this world could get any bleaker. Didn't think it could take any more from me than it already had.Not until I finally learned my purpose.That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real.A place where I met my Champion-the most revered Alpha in S-Block-locked away in his dark cell.For the greater good.He's their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what's left of us.Me, I'm his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior. And his punishment for acts of defiance.Calico Descending is the follow up book to Juniper Unraveling, a full-length dystopian post apocalyptic romance.SERIES READING ORDER: Juniper Unraveling (Book 1)Calico Descending (Book 2)Kings of Carrion (Book 3

And in their absence, the balance has shifted.I thought they no longer existed.Until I met him, the god of monsters.Now I don't believe in the stories anymore.To fall in love with the unyielding heart of an Alpha is said to be impossible.But to fall in love with a god would be a tragedy.SERIES ORDER: Juniper Unraveling (Book 1)Calico Descending (Book 2)Kings of Carrion (Book 3)God of Monsters (Book 4)

Others believe the devil himself breached the gates of hell and turned the masses into the mindless infected with an appetite for carnage.Those of us who've survived the Calico experiments know the only thing more terrifying than the monsters that seek to ravage what's left of us, are the men who created them. Ones too capable of hiding their true form, and burying their darkest secrets.Somewhere beneath the facility lies the answers, a cure for our suffering. To reach it, we'll have to open the haunting tomb, where man's deadliest mistakes, the most violent mutations, lie trapped within its tunnels, waiting to be set free.Our only hope in surviving them are the very Alphas who were designed to hunt us down. The titans forged by cruelty and pain.Kings of carrion.We taught them to love, and in turn, they vow to protect us. To deliver the cure for humanity's sake. Except this world doesn't give without taking, and any chance of saving us will require the greatest sacrifice of all.SERIES ORDER: Juniper Unraveling (Book 1)Calico Descending (Book 2)Kings of Carrion (Book 3

Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers. Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew. Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out. For some, they're nothing more than the vestiges left behind-a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree. My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth. Juniper Unraveling is a full-length standalone romance set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPage In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be. An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling. Praise for The Once and Future Witches: "A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author "This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum For more from Alix E. Harrow, check out The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

Cross known as Kim lives in Danville Virginia. She was born in the spring of April on the 8th day in 1976. Kim began creative writing in 2015. Calm Night was her stress reliever after a long work night and a quick workout at the gym. When Kim arrived home she would type. The initial writing of Calm Night was to be a short story. But with each new day Kim fell in love with Calm Night referring to the writing as her first born. Kim would stay awake inside her tiny studio apartment and type until her eyes became heavy with sleep. But that is when Kim’s eclectic imagination would explode. She dreamed of Calm Night when she slept. The dreams are now chapters in the book. Each character was brought to life with what Kim’s idea of wholeness, ability and concord is. Kim’s political views, opinions of society and her fondest passions were her muse to write Calm Night. The book cover is Kim’s work of art. She named the painting Sisters because both beings are identical but with different dedications toward the same objective. Kim finished the painting of Sisters in the winter of February on the 1st day of 2015. A few months after in the spring of May on the 15th day Kim began the writing of Calm Night. In the autumn of October on the 28th day in 2019 Kim completed Calm Night. She is happy to share Calm Night with you. From Kim’s imagination to your enjoyment.

Book excerpt: Wanderlust: A Book Club Sampler from Simon & Schuster is your boarding pass to the beautiful, the mysterious, and the unknown. This book club sampler was created to pay homage to a book’s unique ability to transport your imagination around the world, taking you on journeys across distance and time. Whether you’re in the mood for a historical love story set on a sheep station in rural Australia or an illuminating memoir of life in the war-torn Middle East, these are books you and your reading group won’t want to miss: Day of Honey: A Memoir of Food, Love, and War by Annia Ciezadlo, Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman, The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman, Amaryllis in Blueberry by Christina Meldrum, The Hundred-Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais, The Distant Hours by Kate Morton, This Burns My Heart by Samuel Park, An Atlas of Impossible Longing by Anuradha Roy. Each excerpt in Wanderlust is accompanied by a collection of bonus materials intended to enrich your reading experience, including discussion questions, suggestions for enhancing your book club meeting, and author interviews. In the spirit of looking to the horizon, we also asked each author featured in this sampler one question: “What is your favorite travel memory?” Their answers are fittingly diverse—from Christina Meldrum’s summers spent at a family cottage in Lake Margrethe, Michigan, to Alice Hoffman’s inspirational first trip to Masada, the setting of her epic new novel The Dovekeepers. Anuradha Roy, the author of An Atlas of Impossible Longing, describes the lure of armchair travel best: “All readers…carry within themselves sediments of the places they have traveled to in books, the people they’ve met on the way. Therefore the strange déjà vu is when you land in a foreign country and wonder if you’ve been there before.” So, sit back, relax, and get ready for the trip of a lifetime. Bon Voyage!
