I love to read! I also have a teenage son who consumes a gallon of milk every other day, and a growing daughter who needs new clothes and shoes on the regular.
I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through Overdrive/Libby (the most popular app), CloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Hoopla, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it.
If your library doesn’t loan ebooks or audiobooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a website that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priveleges.

Commander Noa Sato doesn’t believe in aliens. She’s wrong.
Imprisoned on her home planet, accused of aiding an alien invasion, Noa witnesses the beginning of a genocide–however, the murderers are not aliens, but her own people. Launching a daring attempt to reach the Galactic Fleet, she makes an unlikely ally in stranded professor James Sinclair.
But James is not all that he seems.
James is not the man he once was. He has technological augments that give him extraordinary abilities. His augments protect Noa and himself, but he has no memory of how he came to have them. Worse, the changes may be more than physical.
Noa’s mission and the answer to James’s mystery will put them at the center of a confrontation of galactic proportions.
A confrontation that challenges the boundaries between human and alien, man and machine.
A confrontation that might spell the doom of the entire human race.

Featured Sci-fi: Battlestations (Iron Fleet Book 1) by Daniel Gibbs
99¢ New Release

“Battlestations is bold, action-packed military science fiction with characters so real, they feel alive—exactly what I’ve come to expect from Daniel Gibbs. Once you pick it up, you won’t put it down until the book’s finished.” – Rhett C. Bruno, USA Today Best-Selling Author
War never promised an easy tomorrow.
Lt. Colonel Arthur Hanson suffers from imposter syndrome. While grateful for promotion to second-in-command of the CSV Margaret Thatcher, he’s still a nerdy engineer at heart. The CDF’s presence in the Orion Spur is to project strength and maintain peace among the former League-held settlements. Confronting minor skirmishes is a cakewalk compared to open war.
But freedom demands a price.
Without warning, coordinated terrorist strikes across the Spur leave the fleet limping on life support. The Margaret Thatcher herself narrowly escapes destruction—at an unspeakable cost.
With the fleet decimated and backup stalled behind political power plays, Colonel Hanson is forced into shoes he feels ill-qualified to fill. But as ranking officer, survivors look to him to lead the charge against terrorists who wantonly rape and murder with no regard for the innocent.
Now Arthur must steel his spine and rise to the challenge of his namesake ship.
Because the Iron Lady does not turn from the fight.

Welcome to Ravenmist! A tiny Midwestern town with charming covered bridges, quirky residents, delightful antique shops, and more than their share of haunted activity.
It’s time for the annual Fall Festival, and that means the quaint Ravenmist Inn—owned by Theodosia “Tedi” Hamilton—is filled to the brim with out of town guests. It’s her favorite time of the year with all the spooky decorations, sugar-filled candy, and over the top costumes.
The festival doesn’t quite go as planned, however, when one of her guests is found face down in the apple bob. To make things worse, her best friend becomes the number one suspect. Tedi has no choice but to spring into action.
Come join the spirited antics as Tedi deals with an unsolved murder, a shy ghost in her closet, a mischievous spirit in the bookstore, and the handsome new local sheriff who drives her crazy. You see, he thinks all the ghost stories are made up for the tourists. But Tedi knows better, and now so will you…
Featured Sci-fi: Minotaur (First Contact) by Peter Cawdron
New Release
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany
Life has been found beneath the icy shell of the moon of a gas giant orbiting a red dwarf at a distance of 11 light-years from Earth. When the crew of the original exploration mission crashes on the alien moon, a rescue ship is launched. Arriving decades later, the crew of the Kelvin finds a colony of survivors living in the labyrinth of caves beneath the surface of the moon. When people start dying, they realize they need to unravel the secrets of this alien world and the mystery of the minotaur.
The Minotaur is a tribute to the 1961 classic Solaris, written by Stanislaw Lem, and considers the psychological impact of examining an exotic alien life form unlike anything ever encountered on Earth.
FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity’s first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they’re all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
Featured Fantasy : Sense and Scent Ability by Renee George

My name is Nora Black, and I’m fifty-one-years young. At least that’s what I tell myself, when I’m not having hot flashes, my knees don’t hurt, and I can find my reading glasses.
I’m also the proud owner of a salon called Scents & Scentsability in the small resort town of Garden Cove, where I make a cozy living selling handmade bath and beauty products. All in all, my life is pretty good.
Except for one little glitch…
Since my recent hysterectomy, where I died on the operating table, I’ve been experiencing what some might call paranormal activity. No, I don’t see dead people, but quite suddenly I’m triggered by scents that, in their wake, leave behind these vividly intense memories. Sometimes they’re unfocused and hazy, but there’s no doubt, they are very, very real.
Know what else? They’re not my memories. It seems I’ve lost a uterus and gained a psychic gift.
When my best friend’s abusive boyfriend ends up dead after a fire, and she becomes the prime suspect, I end up a babysitter to her two teenagers while she’s locked up in the clink. Add to that the handsome detective determined to stand in my way, my super sniffer’s newly acquired abilities and a rash of memories connected to the real criminal, and I find myself in a race to catch a killer before my best friend is tried for murder.

“Chases, duels, romance, airships and a fortune to be won or lost.” – Fantasy Book Review
One last job!
Jacques Revou and Isabel de Rosier are at the height of their careers. Of course those careers are as professional charlatans, thieves without peer. With the completion of their final heist, they decide it’s time to retire and settle down. But they have not escaped unnoticed. The king’s spymaster, Renard Daron, has a job for the thieves, one only they can perform, and he does not take no for an answer.
With the threat of destitution and death hanging over their heads, Jaques and Isabel must take on their greatest roles yet, the Baron and Baroness Bonvillain. Can they ferret out the treasonous elements within the government? Can they escape the clutches of the nefarious Seigneur Daron? Can they regain the fortune so unfairly taken from them? And, can they finally complete their one last job?
From award winning author, Rob J. Hayes, comes a story of daring heists, thrilling duels, and villainous spies. It would take a heart of stone not to fall in love with these charming thieves.
Featured Sci-fi: The 28th Gate Volume 1 by Christopher C. Dimond
FREE as of March 22, 2025
Click for current price: Amazon US, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia
With a stolen experimental starship and a pair of advanced synthetic limbs, Hunter isn’t an average bounty hunter.
“A gunslinger adventure with good, clean fun!”
When he accepted the job on a backwater planet, Hunter thought it would be easy. He and his partner just had to track down a missing researcher. But when they find her, she’s fled a quarter of the way around the massive ring of twenty-seven gates and Hunter realizes all is not as he was told.
That simple realization, and Hunter’s drive for retribution, kick off a series of adventures leading to the most important discovery since the fall of the Gate Age—and put him in direct confrontation with the corp he’s been running from for the past 10 revolutions.
Set in a far distant future, The 28th Gate is a series of tales that will appeal of fans who like space marines, space fleets, and military hard science fiction. The series consists of eight volumes spread across four seasons telling the story of Hunter’s struggles against the AAA corporation that created him. Each volume contains six episodic novelettes each with the action, character, and plotting of a complete story all crammed into an espresso-like package, while each season chronicles a different arc in the overall epic.
