Book excerpt: (Paranormal fantasy with witches, demons, vampires, werewolves, fairies, dragons) Trials and Errors “You call this a trial?” Liander Belaisle spun around, glaring with his light yellow eyes, teeth flashing a cunning smile. “Arrest them both.” Piers’s own voice shook, his power snaking out, aided by the white sorcery at his command, slamming into a wall of magic to be dispersed in a puff of smoke. “Nice try,” Belaisle said, bowing from the waist in a mocking salute. “Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like a moment with my client.” “Your what?” Piers’s normally polished tone was harsh with shock. “That’s right,” Belaisle said, bright and shining. “As his legal representation, I’m here to defend Jean Marc against all comers.” Creator’s statue is so close to completion, the Universe crumbling around her while Syd tries to balance worrying about her friends and family while knowing her time as Doombringer is coming, that ultimately her choice will decide the fate of everyone she cares about. Including the handsome enemy soldier who swears he’s on her side. And her son, the Gateway, who isn’t telling her everything… KEYWORDS: paranormal series, paranormal books, paranormal fantasy, witches, witch, witch books, magical realism, witch fantasy, magical fantasy, vampire series, vampire books, shifter books, shifter series, werewolf series, werewolf books, vampire book

Book excerpt: "A brilliant, powerful elegy from a living brother to a lost one, yet pulsing with rhythm, and beating with life." --Marlon James "Highly recommend Brother by David Chariandy--concise and intense, elegiac short novel of devastation and hope." --Joyce Carol Oates, via Twitter WINNER--Toronto Book Award WINNER--Rogers' Writers' Trust Fiction Prize WINNER--Ethel Wilson Prize for Fiction In luminous, incisive prose, a startling new literary talent explores masculinity, race, and sexuality against a backdrop of simmering violence during the summer of 1991. One sweltering summer in the Park, a housing complex outside of Toronto, Michael and Francis are coming of age and learning to stomach the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry. While their Trinidadian single mother works double, sometimes triple shifts so her boys might fulfill the elusive promise of their adopted home, Francis helps the days pass by inventing games and challenges, bringing Michael to his crew's barbershop hangout, and leading escapes into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves. Propelled by the beats and styles of hip hop, Francis dreams of a future in music. Michael's dreams are of Aisha, the smartest girl in their high school whose own eyes are firmly set on a life elsewhere. But the bright hopes of all three are violently, irrevocably thwarted by a tragic shooting, and the police crackdown and suffocating suspicion that follow. Honest and insightful in its portrayal of kinship, community, and lives cut short, David Chariandy's Brother is an emotional tour de force that marks the arrival of a stunning new literary voice.

But then Russian prisoners escape from the local concentration camp, her mother starts an affair with a married man, her only friend goes missing, and her brother's allegiance to the Hitler Youth emerges in shocking ways--and Ursula finds herself alone, disturbed by dark memories, and surrounded by threat. In this new world of conflict, Ursula discovers a bravery she has never known before and is forced to recognize that danger comes not only from the enemy at the door but from the enemy within.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker must stem the tide of the raging Clone Wars and forge a new bond as Jedi Knights in a high-stakes adventure set just after the events of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: USA Today The Clone Wars have begun. Battle lines are being drawn throughout the galaxy. With every world that joins the Separatists, the peace guarded by the Jedi Order is slipping through their fingers. After an explosion devastates Cato Neimoidia, the jewel of the Trade Federation, the Republic is blamed and the fragile neutrality of the planet is threatened. The Jedi dispatch Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of the Order’s most gifted diplomatic minds, to investigate the crime and maintain the balance that has begun to dangerously shift. As Obi-Wan investigates with the help of a heroic Neimoidian guard, he finds himself working against the Separatists who hope to draw the planet into their conspiracy—and senses the sinister hand of Asajj Ventress in the mists that cloak the planet. Amid the brewing chaos, Anakin Skywalker rises to the rank of Jedi Knight. Despite the mandate that Obi-Wan travel alone—and his former master’s insistence that he listen this time—Anakin’s headstrong determination means nothing can stop him from crashing the party, and bringing along a promising but conflicted youngling. Once a Padawan to Obi-Wan, Anakin now finds himself on equal—but uncertain—footing with the man who raised him. The lingering friction between them increases the danger for everyone around them. The two knights must learn a new way to work together—and they must learn quickly, to save Cato Neimoidia and its people from the fires of war. To overcome the threat they face they must grow beyond master and apprentice. They must stand together as brothers.

Now, I’ll do everything I can to make her mine. Adrian I’ve always been the one in control, and I excel at everything I do. Academics. Hockey. Fucking. I don’t even have to try to be the best, and my little brother hates me for it. I can’t even blame him. From the moment he was born, Donovan has always lived in my shadow. I’m content to ignore him… until he does the unforgivable: he starts dating Sienna Roberts. Sienna is mine, she just doesn’t know it yet. No one does. No one except Donovan, that is. I keep my emotions close to the chest. They call me stoic. Indifferent. Cold. Take your pick. I don’t DO emotions. Sienna is my only exception. She has this infuriating way of tearing down my carefully constructed walls and making me feel simply by calling me out… even if the slight tremor in her voice tells me she’s still intimidated by me. Donovan knows I crave her… knows Sienna is my only weakness and the only tool he could ever use to make me pay for the impossible standards placed on him just because he’s my brother. It’s the only reason the passive-aggressive little shit would risk crossing me by going after her. For him, it’s not about Sienna. He doesn’t want her. He never did. But hurting me? That’s what he really wants. He’d do anything to make me suffer. He’s using Sienna as a pawn, and she’s too in love with him to realize it. But me? I’ve had enough. I’m done waiting around. Sienna has always been mine. And if she can’t realize it, I’ll make her. Sienna I’ve always been in love with Donovan Windsor. He has that tall, dark, and handsome thing down to a T. In high school, he was always the cool guy. Honestly, I didn’t think he even knew I existed. For some reason, during the summer between high school graduation and college, he asked me out. I still can’t believe it, even three months later. I still have to pinch myself. But now that we’re in college, we’re living with his older brother, Adrian. And the thing about Adrian is, he makes me feel… unsettled. He’s intense, dark, and commanding - everything I shouldn't want when I’m already dating my Mr. Right. I can’t explain it, but it’s almost like I’m in danger when Adrian’s dark, piercing gaze falls on me. Like he sees through me straight to my core. I should be terrified. But it just pulls me towards him in a way I don’t understand. Like a moth to a flame. Adrian is the kind of wildfire that doesn’t leave a trace after he consumes you. I should be happy with Donovan. Donovan has always been my dream guy. And yet, I can’t help but fantasize about what it might be like to dance in Adrian’s flames. Blades & Bones is a stand-alone revenge dark hockey romance featuring a tortured Alpha hockey player deadset on possessing his little brother's girlfriend and the unassuming heroine who pines for him without understanding the consequences. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cliffhanger.
