Find Your My eBooks and Audiobooks at Your Local Library with Overdrive/Libby, CloudLibrary, Hoopla, and More
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.

Humanity depends on the Star Bridges. Hallam Knight must destroy them.
As a Bridge Runner, Hallam Knight risks his life to supply worlds with Randenite – the galaxy’s rarest and most vital starship fuel. Without it, the Star Bridges will collapse, isolating a dozen planets and condemning billions to starvation and war.
But when a bar fight with a notorious mercenary gang nearly gets him killed, Hallam falls into the hands of the Darkspace Renegades. This ruthless band of anarchists is determined to destroy the Star Bridges and plunge the galaxy into chaos.
Their enigmatic leader reveals a devastating truth, shattering everything Hallam thought he knew. To save humanity, he must do the unthinkable: join the rebels and tear down the very system he’s spent his life protecting.
Hallam Knight must become a Darkspace Renegade.
Fast-paced and morally charged, Darkspace Renegade delivers daring heists, relentless battles, and a reluctant hero caught in a galaxy-spanning conflict. Perfect for fans of gritty space opera and military sci-fi, this is the adventure you’ve been waiting for.

“An imaginative and stunning tale of the perfect future threatened . . . a book of epic proportions not unlike Frank Herbert’s Dune or Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.”—SFRevu
The year is 2380. The Intersolar Commonwealth, a sphere of stars, contains more than six hundred worlds interconnected by a web of transport “tunnels” known as wormholes. At the farthest edge of the Commonwealth, astronomer Dudley Bose observes the impossible: over one thousand light-years away, a star . . . disappears. Since the location is too distant to reach by wormhole, the Second Chance, a faster-than-light starship commanded by Wilson Kime, a five-times-rejuvenated ex-NASA pilot, is dispatched to learn what has occurred and whether it represents a threat.
Opposed to the mission are the Guardians of Selfhood, led by Bradley Johansson. Shortly after the journey begins, Kime wonders if the crew of the Second Chance has been infiltrated. But soon enough he will have other worries. Halfway across the galaxy, something truly incredible is waiting: a deadly discovery whose unleashing will threaten to destroy the Commonwealth . . . and humanity itself.
“Should be high on everyone’s reading list . . . You won’t be able to put it down.”—Nancy Pearl, NPR
“Recommended . . . A large cast of characters, each with his own story, brings depth and variety to this far-future saga.”—Library Journal

A small Dublin pub …
… holds the key to humanity’s survival.

Everything, and everyone, she loves is in danger, and as the body count rises Phoenix must learn to embrace the darkest parts of herself.
Or lose it all.

Fire and Water don’t mix.Sophia
I’m Sophia Henley, your typical college freshman. I never expected a lion to be stalking me, nor for fire to come shooting out of my hands to protect my sister. Next thing I know, a drop-dead gorgeous guy shows up on my doorstep to sweep me away to a magical school, where I’ll learn to control my element and bond with a powerful creature called a Familiar.
I don’t believe I’m the savior of an ancient tribe, or the missing piece of a prophecy that’s more myth than reality. Worst of all, I’m forced to enter the Elemental Cup, where I’ll either earn my place in this society… or die trying.
Liam
The night I met Sophia, I didn’t think we’d form an undeniable connection. But I’m from the Water tribe, and she’s fire. I’m forced to push her away even as I’m falling for her.
I lost everything, yet Sophia makes me whole again. Our world is fixed on keeping us apart, but we’re in this tournament together. We have to keep each other alive at any cost— or I’ll give my life for hers. It’s pretty clear.
If I continue to play with fire, I’m going to get burned.
