Cressenda knows how to survive. With her sled dogs as her only companions, she’s spent the past ten years hiding in the snow covered wilderness from the oppressive regime of the Affinity. When a routine trip to civilization takes a turn for the worst, Cressenda is forced to take refuge with the enemy or lose her life to the frozen countryside.
But Beckett, a Guard of the Affinity, is more than a man in uniform.

Part 1 of the Colliding Worlds Trilogy
Sienna Wolfe knows it’s going to be an interesting day when a man with golden skin and strange tattoos crashes in her backyard… and ends up tied to her bedposts. She likes her life just the way it is – simple, easy, relaxed. But when the gorgeous new alien in her life asks for her help in an inter-galactic war on a collision course with Earth, she can’t say no… but she’ll soon wish she had.
The U.S. military has figured out they have uninvited company, and they’re not happy. Sienna knows it won’t be easy protecting Earth from an alien invasion, but as a woman of action, she refuses to back down.
Now it’s up to Sienna to pull off the impossible: save the world and – hopefully – live a little happily ever after.

Cadence, JD, and Orlando
couldn't be more different from one another. Under normal
circumstances, the three wouldn't so much as say hi to each other if
they could get away with it. Then an alien crashes through the roof of
their local mall, and everything changes. Not only do the three teens
gain new abilities, but they're also chosen to help fight in an
intergalactic war where the next chosen battlefield is Earth.
Reluctant at first, they change their minds when the fight hits close to home. Teenagers from school start to go missing, and some are dead. Together they must learn to work together and solve the mystery behind these disappearances before more lives are lost.

Twelve teenagers were
injected by The Doctor on that fateful day back in November. And twelve
teenagers have been thrust into an intergalactic battle against their
will. Orlando Holmes, JD Smith, and Cadence Sinclair must find these
twelve before someone else does – someone bad.
Things get complicated quickly, though, when emotions start to run high. Those who used to be deemed trustworthy, are no longer safe. The three teens soon learn that anyone is a suspect. As they embark on their most dangerous mission to date, morals are tested. To protect the twelve teenagers who have been experimented on, what must JD, Orlando, and Cadence give up? Their hearts? Or even their lives?

In the Community, there
is no more pain or war. Implanted computer chips have wiped humanity
clean of destructive emotions, and thoughts are replaced by a feed from
the Link network.
When Zoe starts to malfunction (or “glitch”), she suddenly begins having her own thoughts, feelings, and identity. Any anomalies must be immediately reported and repaired, but Zoe has a secret so dark it will mean certain deactivation if she is caught: her glitches have given her uncontrollable telekinetic powers.
As Zoe struggles to control her abilities and stay hidden, she meets other glitchers including Max, who can disguise his appearance, and Adrien, who has visions of the future. Both boys introduce Zoe to feelings that are entirely new. Together, this growing band of glitchers must find a way to free themselves from the controlling hands of the Community before they’re caught and deactivated, or worse.
In this action-packed debut, Glitch begins an exciting new young adult trilogy.

| Coming November 7th |
Andromeda has spent all seventeen years of her life aboard a
deep space transport vessel destined for a paradise planet. Her safe cocoon is
about to break open as Paradise 21 looms only one month away, and she must take
the aptitude tests to determine her role on the new world and her computer
assigned lifemate. As a great-granddaughter of the Commander of the ship, she
wants to live up to her family name. But, her forbidden love for her childhood
friend, Sirius, distracts her and she fails the tests. The results place her in
a menial role in the new colony and pair her with Corvus, “the oaf”.
But when Andromeda steps foot on Paradise 21, her
predestined future is the least of her worries. Alien ghosts from a failed
colonization warn her of a deadly threat to her colony. And when Sirius's ship
crashes on the far ridge in an attempt to investigate, she journeys to rescue
him with Corvus.
Andromeda now must convince the authorities of the imminent
danger to protect her new home. What she didn't expect was a battle of her own
feelings for Sirius and Corvus.
Can she save the colony and discover her true love?
