Book excerpt: A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) In this “searing work of historical fiction” (Booklist), Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Sharon M. Draper tells the epic story of a young girl torn from her African village, sold into slavery, and stripped of everything she has ever known—except hope. Amari's life was once perfect. Engaged to the handsomest man in her tribe, adored by her family, and fortunate enough to live in a beautiful village, it never occurred to her that it could all be taken away in an instant. But that was what happened when her village was invaded by slave traders. Her family was brutally murdered as she was dragged away to a slave ship and sent to be sold in the Carolinas. There she was bought by a plantation owner and given to his son as a "birthday present". Now, survival is all Amari can dream about. As she struggles to hold on to her memories, she also begins to learn English and make friends with a white indentured servant named Molly. When an opportunity to escape presents itself, Amari and Molly seize it, fleeing South to the Spanish colony in Florida at Fort Mose. Along the way, their strength is tested like never before as they struggle against hunger, cold, wild animals, hurricanes, and people eager to turn them in for reward money. The hope of a new life is all that keeps them going, but Florida feels so far away and sometimes Amari wonders how far hopes and dreams can really take her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s first independent black republic, Haiti was forged in the fire of history’s only successful slave revolution. Yet more than two hundred years later, the full promise of that revolution – a free country and a free people – remains unfulfilled. Home for more than a decade to one of the world’s largest UN peacekeeping forces, Haiti's tumultuous political culture – buffeted by coups and armed political partisans – combined with economic inequality and environmental degradation to create immense difficulties even before the devastating 2010 earthquake killed tens of thousands of people. This grim tale, however, is not the whole story. In this moving and detailed history, Michael Deibert, who has spent two decades reporting on Haiti, chronicles the heroic struggles of Haitians to build their longed-for country in the face of overwhelming odds. Based on hundreds of interviews with Haitian political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates and gang leaders, as well as ordinary Haitians, Deibert’s book provides a vivid, complex and challenging analysis of Haiti’s recent history.

With eighty hidden bases and thousands of gifted agents in their employ, ROOT is an unstoppable force. Assigned to an ‘off-the-books’ mission to protect two of the General’s great-grandchildren from The Order; Wraith, Fang, and Trinity encounter nothing but problems from the start as they struggle to keep them safe while maintaining a constant level of damage control while in their presence. Mei, a sociopathic struggling actress has taken an unhealthy interest in Fang. Meanwhile, her brother, Yuu, a brilliant engineer for Tsuki Industries, finds he can’t shake the deep connection he feels to Wraith. Courtesy of their lineage, the Ishii siblings are powerfully gifted beings who have inherited the appearances of two of their ancestors – much to the ire of Alpha Team’s resident priestess and werewolf. However, the secret protection-assignment-from-hell soon becomes very personal. Purposefully violating her contract, Wraith finds that the organization known for killing gifted beings now has their sights set on her brother. To approach the General with this information could very well terminate her agent status. Can she find a way to protect Revive’s kin while saving her own? *This work contains sexually explicit scenes between consenting adults, descriptive violence, and foul language. R.O.A.L Series Synopsis Enter a world of supernatural fantasy set in a modern-day, fast-paced setting. ROOT, a secret organization that does not align itself with any of the world's many governments, is a militant group comprised of spies, soldiers, scientists, doctors, hackers, and assassins. Specializing in finding gifted beings to join their ranks, ROOT employs their assistance to aid in their global mission of protecting world peace. There are over eighty secret bases spread throughout the world and thousands of sleeper agents posing as simple civilians within 'normal' everyday societies. Upon signage with ROOT, the real-world identities of each agent are erased from society, effectively making them ghosts of people who never were, true remnants of another life. And only the most elite of agents make up departmental specialty teams units -- enter ROOT's infamous Reconnaissance Alpha Team. The Remnants Of Another Life series combines elements of Mission Impossible and X-Men with a heavy dose of smoldering romance tightly woven in-between. Missions are fast-paced, dangerous, and often violent. Agent off time is often humorous, and character reflective. Take the journey with agents Wraith and Fang as they try to navigate through their complicated relationship in a world where antagonists usually have the best intentions, and the decisions to 'harm to protect' usually come with an unsettling moral price. In the ROAL world, nothing is ever clearly black or white and like reality, peace never seems to last for very long.

Choice. Freedom. All things a mermaid shouldn’t feel or want. A mermaid is expected to be demure, to respect their betters and do what they are told. But most of all, mermaids should be seen and not heard. Princess Moriah, a maiden of the sea, living under the cruel reign of her grandfather, King Abaddon, is expected to be the same. Beautiful, cold and voiceless, like a marble statue in her own home. Only her father thought differently. Only Moriah’s father had ever asked her about her interests.

It’s only when she meets the kind, gentle Michael that she questions the cruelty and coldness of her reality. Longing for the freedom that she and her people have never known, she must risk everything to bring about the revolution she desires. If Moriah is caught, nothing will protect her from King Abaddon’s wrath, not even her father, who always obeyed her grandfather’s every order. For her people. For her family.
