Book excerpt: I had come to terms with my inability to change whatever it was at this point. It was coming whether I knew how it would happen or not. What if you knew what year you’d die? Since she could first comprehend the meaning of death Lai has known she’d only live to see eighteen years. In her secluded community, scientists calculate residents’ life expectancies at birth and one’s place within society is determined based on their lifespan. Tragically, Lai’s anticipated Year of Death has defined her as someone with little value to society. When her eighteenth birthday comes and goes, she knows she’s living on borrowed time and begins to emotionally withdraw and resign herself to her fate. That’s when Lai discovers something that shocks her to her core and forces her to face the reality that the controlled, peaceful, productive community she knows is hiding something deeply sinister. Set in a speculative society that is so imaginatively conceived we’re never quite sure if it’s utopian or dystopian, The Quiet Limit gives us a heartbroken protagonist at the most heightened and emotional moment of her life and sets her on an urgent, dangerous quest to find answers before her time is up.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2,000 years after the fall of the Galactic Commonwealth, the remote colonies of Sapphire and Republic have recovered the technology for starflight and set out to rediscover humanity’s lost worlds. The mighty Pathfinder Ship Pegasus is launched on a 300 year mission of discovery. But the combined Sapphirean and Republicker crew of Pegasus will have to learn to work with each other. Sapphireans are freedom-loving individualists, while the culture of Republic is collectivized and authoritarian. 2,000 years of societal evolution on 13,000 worlds have produced a wildly divergent range of cultures on the colonies humanity left behind. The worlds they encounter will often seem more alien than human. The people of Meridian, for example, seem to be transforming into weird insectoid hive creatures. Also, they are dangerous and hostile; intent on capturing the landing team and using them to conquer Sapphire and Republic ... which makes the story more interesting. Did I mention the ship’s AI evolves sentience and tries to kill everybody? That also happens. Pegasus is commanded by Bill Keeler – a historian whose sarcastic wit is exceeded only by his contempt for regulations. Also, he drinks. His conniving shrew of a First Officer, Goneril Lear, plots to take over the command she believes should have been hers! His Tactical Officer – Phil Redfire, a performance artist whose art consisted of blowing up buildings – plots to stop her. The Worlds Apart novels have been described as vivid, hilarious and reminiscent of Douglass Adams in his heyday. Meridian is the first of 12. These novels have been enjoyed by thousands of people worldwide, and are being published in e-book formats for the first time.

Book excerpt: From author Paige Price comes a mafia strangers-to-lovers romance about a mafia soldier and the girl who captures his heart . . . My habit-forming drug has a name, Juan Carlos Falcon. And as far as addictions are concerned, he’s the itch I should try to ignore. Caustic. Cunning. Charismatic. The man is impetuous and about as toxic as a deadly virus hellbent on global destruction. He’s ruthless, unforgiving, and calculating. He’s not above laying down his own form of vigilante justice. He’s got another side though, one that holds untold promises of unbridled emotions and passion. The man has ties to the Mexican cartel, so I should keep my distance. Sonya Torres is different from any woman I’ve ever encountered. She’s sweet, kind, and she’s the only female who has made it her mission in life to avoid me. Broken. Beautiful. Bewitching. For a single moment, she lowers her defenses and lets me in. Then, without notice, she builds an impenetrable wall of secrets, keeping me on the outside looking in. But I’m a persistent man, one ready to dismantle anything and anyone who comes between me and what I want—or who I want, her. We share an undeniable connection and one fated night binds us together. One glance is all it took to capture our hearts. One sensual touch sends us spiraling out of control. One tantalizing kiss leaves us both aching for a forbidden love. Turning her world upside down and ripping through her defenses is wrong, and I know it. But that doesn’t faze me, not one bit, because the girl belongs to me!
