A dark and heartfelt sci-fi thriller by Lyn Alden, international bestselling author of Broken Money.

In the late 21st century, society is more fractured than ever. Billions satisfy their every whim in virtual worlds, leaving those in power free to tighten their grip on the real one.

Then five bodies turn up at a rest stop in the New Jersey Pine Barrens—the blood torn from their veins, a van hurled the length of a football field, and three of the dead with no identities at all. For military investigator Asim Rahal, it’s the strangest case of his career. From $0.99. Free via KU. SHOP NOW /

Wear silver.

"Progress is a lie. Every human gut knows it."

In a world increasingly automated, rushed, and dehumanized, Proof of Life is an uncompromising, raw work of contemporary psychological fiction. Structurally split into three distinct, interconnected movements, the narrative strips away the illusions of modern societal progress to expose the brutal, unvarnished nerve of human suffering, lineage, and the cyclical nature of family trauma. From $0.99 – SHOP NOW /

Some families keep secrets. This one keeps files.
The Unholy Creed Series by James E. Lorraine & Scott/Ashdown novels by Angela. R. Key 

The Saint of Nothing

Rebecca DeSaint survived what should have destroyed her.
The men who built their power on ruined girls, buried records, bought silence, and called it medicine expected her to stay broken. Quiet. Ashamed. Disposable.
They were wrong.
Now Rebecca is turning herself into something far more dangerous than a victim. She is becoming a reckoning. A whispered name in back rooms. A public threat to private monsters. A force aimed straight at the rich, protected men who thought their money could keep the truth buried forever.

The Apostle of Ruin

Rebecca DeSaint came to Chicago to do clean work in dirty rooms.
After New York, she was supposed to stay in the daylight. Read the money. Protect the programs. Expose the rot before it swallowed the people who needed help most.
But Chicago has its own kind of evil.
Inside polished boardrooms, donor foundations, women’s shelters, youth programs, and private finance corridors, money is moving through names that should not connect: Blueframe. Kestrel. Marwick. Each trail leads to another shell, another lie, another body dropped just before Rebecca can get the answer she needs.

Someone is watching her work.

The Lies We Inherit

Elise Scott did not inherit a grieving family. She inherited a machine.

Behind the polished walls of Scott wealth lies something colder than scandal and far more dangerous than money: a private architecture of leverage, buried truths, coerced silence, and bloodline rot passed down through generations. What begins as inheritance quickly becomes initiation when Elise uncovers the hidden system her father spent a lifetime curating, one designed not simply to protect the powerful, but to control them.

About the Author - James E. Lorraine

James E. Lorraine is fascinated by appetite. Not simply hunger for money or power, but the quieter appetites people are better at disguising: the need to be chosen, to win, to control the room, to keep the relationship, to have the last word, or to possess the one thing good judgment says to leave alone.

He writes people who are accomplished enough to believe they can manage the consequences, then gives them something they want badly enough to test that belief. His stories move through boardrooms, bedrooms, churches, marriages, and spectacular romantic disasters, because he is less interested in genre boundaries than in what happens when desire collides with self-control.

About the Author - Angela R. Key

Angela R. Key is fascinated by the stories families teach themselves to believe. The polished version. The inherited version. The version repeated so many times that questioning it begins to feel like betrayal.

She writes psychological suspense about memory, inheritance, identity, power, and the evidence people leave behind when they try to control the truth. Her stories are populated by families with archives, institutions with long memories, houses that seem to know more than their occupants, and women forced to decide whether what they were told matters more than what they can prove. Her interest is not simply in secrets. It is in who benefits from keeping them. Explore Angela R. Key →

Spirit Walker: Rise of Akio

A warrior forged by fire. Defined by choice.

The Empire demanded obedience. His heart gave him the courage to choose.

Akio was taught that strength meant following an order without question. That mercy was weakness. That a warrior’s heart had no place in a world ruled by fear.

Then came a life he could not take.

One refusal turns loyalty into treason and sends Akio beyond the only world he has ever known. But what waits for him is not simply freedom. It is something far more dangerous: people willing to stand beside him, suffer for him, and give everything without asking for anything in return.

Through them, Akio begins to understand that sacrifice is not surrender. Compassion is not weakness. And sometimes the smallest choice can carry enough hope to challenge an empire.

But every choice leaves a mark.

As forgotten powers awaken and darkness moves behind the throne, Akio must carry the weight of those who believed in him—and decide how much he is willing to give for people he never expected to love.

“No one else will die because of me.”

Hope. Sacrifice. Balance. From $3.99 – SHOP NOW /

The Maps We Make

The Maps We Make is a poetry collection by Cherie L. Davis that traces one woman’s life in seven movements.

Publish Smart. Sell More.

Anyone can write a book. The real trick? Writing one that doesn’t put people to sleep. Most nonfiction books are full of good intentions but fall flat, forgotten before anyone even cracks the spine. If you want a book that gets read, shared, and sold, you need more than typing skills and wishful thinking.

A book can be your sharpest business growth tool—but only if you treat it like a product. That means crafting a hook that demands attention, writing for your reader (not your ego), and building a sales plan that reaches far beyond Amazon. If this is done right, your book becomes a door-opener, a stage-inviter, a credibility-builder. If it’s done wrong? It’s just another casualty in the graveyard of unread books. From $0.99 – SHOP NOW /
