Book Two

by B.A. Bellec

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic SciFi Horror 

The fate of humanity rests in the hands of a few.

Pulse: Book Two is the conclusion of B.A. Bellec’s dystopian sci-fi horror duology. This time around we are tapping into iconic stories like The Stand, Station Eleven, Cloud Atlas, Contact, and The Road to add elite and ambitious scale. Our chaotic journey picks up moments after the first book ends with action from the second you start turning the pages, but if you thought you knew where the story was going, leave your expectations at the door and ask yourself this one question: how would an autonomous droid defeat a monster?

Someone’s Story

by B.A. Bellec

Genre: YA Coming of Age

In his literary debut, B.A. Bellec writes an endearing coming-of-age tale about a group of weirdos that find and save each other from the dark depths of their minds. Someone’s Story is literally Someone’s story, as in a first-person narrative of a teenager that calls himself Someone. As he struggles to find a new footing in a new space, we encounter the many ups and downs of modern teenage life, the difficulties that adjusting to adult feelings brings, and a few tear-jerking surprises along the way.

Littered with music, mental health, friendship, loss, meditation, advice, pop culture, and even inspiring an EP, there is so much nostalgia, inspiration, and depth here it is hard to absorb it all. Cozy up somewhere warm and enjoy!

Bryan “B.A.” Bellec’s debut novel, Someone’s Story, won the Reader Views Reviewer’s Choice Literary Award for Young Adult Book of the Year. Someone’s Story is a coming-of-age novel about teen mental health. One of the aspects that makes Bellec’s projects unique is he includes musicians in his novels and then he actually produces the songs as his book goes through the editing stages. You can find that music on his YouTube channel. His second novel, Pulse, was released in 2021 and has been receiving strong reviews. That novel is a genre flip with dark dystopian sci-fi horror peppering the pages. Pulse is the start of a new fictional universe Bellec will write in for years to come!

Atomica – Between Sea and Sky

Atomica Book 1

by Heather McKenzie

Genre: YA SciFi Fantasy Romance  

 “Never judge based on appearances. Sometimes the most unassuming can be the deadliest.”

A compelling saga of love, duty, and sacrifice set against the stunning backdrop of a lush tropical island—where the line between hero and villain blurs in the shadows of a forgotten world...

In a land ravaged by ancient vendettas, nineteen-year-old Eva has vowed to protect Zoleya, a petite, blue-eyed girl with a powerful gift. But when a catastrophic shipwreck strands her on a mysterious tropical island and Zoleya disappears, Eva is forced to abandon her duty and form alliances with a group of castaways to survive. While facing the island’s perils and a corrupt band of Raiders intent on her capture, Eva fights to reclaim her title as Zoleya’s Guardian.

Kade Thorn, a hunter programmed to seek and destroy all remnants of forbidden technology, battles his opposing impulses. Bound by ancient markings etched into his skin that incite violence, he finds himself torn between blindly obeying his directive or pursuing a powerful attraction to Eva, knowing either choice will get him killed.

Forced to rely on each other, Eva and Kade seek refuge deep within the island's jungle and become conflicted about where their loyalties lie. Will they find their way back to their predetermined paths or forge a new destiny together? The fate of Zoleya—the catalyst to either save the world or destroy it—hangs in the balance.

 I am Canadian, born and raised in Alberta on a lovely acreage just outside of Edmonton to musical parents. I began my arts career as a musician, leaving home at the age of fifteen to play in a rock band, then went on to become a singer/songwriter. I wrote songs and told stories with melodies, lucky enough to tour Canada and record four studio albums, as well as work as a studio musician. I spent years singing my heart out. However, when I discovered the limitless creativity of novel writing, I shifted my focus to a literary career. My extraordinary experiences as a musician continue to fuel my writing. I am deeply inspired by art and profoundly humbled by the creativity of others. Creating is a fundamental part of my life, and expressing myself through storytelling is incredibly important to me. I strive to transport readers to different places or provide them with a companion for three hundred pages, impacting them as my favorite writers and artists have impacted me.

I like to write about deeply flawed characters with relatable struggles and how they react in extraordinary circumstances. The Rocky Mountains and the wonders of nature greatly inspire me, and I love to explore the juxtaposition of these settings with urban landscapes. My novels are characterized by action, adventure, lots of romance, and unexpected twists. I like to put my characters in unique settings and fully explore their motivations while drawing heavily on my personal experiences.

I am honored to be represented by Elizabeth Winick Rubinstein of McIntosh and Otis, one of the USA’s longest-running literary agencies, representing remarkable authors such as the late John Steinbeck and Harper Lee. As a ‘hybrid’ author, Elizabeth represents my adult works, while I represent my young adult works. I am determined not to limit myself to one specific genre and hope to follow in the footsteps of authors who have achieved success this way, as I value the artistic freedom it affords.

At present, I have four published novels; Serenade, Nocturne and Rhapsody, all which have achieved bestseller status in digital sales. My newest novel, Atomica: Between Sea and Sky, was just released on August 27, 2024, and is the first book in a new young adult fantasy series.

Breaking Free

 

 

J.E. Maier mixes modern America with Korean drama in this genre-bending tale about love, destiny, and fame. 

Breaking Free

Rise of the Dragon Volume 1

by J.E. Maier

Genre: Romance, Drama, Light Urban Fantasy 

 

In her debut novel, J.E. Maier mixes Korean drama with modern America in this series about fate, love, and fame.

In this Romance-Drama turned Urban Fantasy, Jenilyn is a young woman caught in a perpetual state of duality. Of the world or not of the world, she has always struggled with opposing concepts. Equivalent to constructively organized chaos, she exists in two dimensions; an organized, put-together version she shows the world, and a chaotic, unhinged side she only shows those close to her.

In the aftermath of a messy divorce, she's staring down the crossroads of change and thinks she has the next chapter of her life all figured out. With ten years of unorthodox experience under her belt, she creates what she believes is the perfect business model, with plans to move the entire operation to Chicago in a matter of months.

The only thing she hasn't figured out? Dating in a technological world. She doesn't know if she wants to find love again, and with her native language on the verge of extinction, begins to think her late grandmother was right; she must cast aside the idea of love and contribute to the matriarchal lineage with a member from the quickly fading tribe. After all, if love isn't an option, folk preservation is the next best thing, even if she is only one-fourth indigenous.

Until a chance encounter changes her life's trajectory, that is. When the five zany members of an internationally famous musical group, Blackmirror, walk into her life, her world quickly gets turned upside down. Fascinated by the group's boyish charms at a time she's looking to experience the world, she's invited to attend their concert, where she learns just what it takes for the five mates to put on a large-production show. Unfortunately, the joyful moment is cut short when one of the musicians gets injured, and eager to help as always, she offers her assistance.

Her counterproductive helpfulness lands her in a meeting with the band's manager, who surprisingly asks her to join the agency, and following the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she moves sixty-five hundred miles away from her home. With the fresh location comes a new job and a unique living situation, further pushing her boundaries and limitations. Hellbent on making memories and mistakes, she discards conventional notions and relishes a bit of calculated hedonism when a fake romance forces her into the spotlight.

While finding her footing at a new company, learning the nuances of a foreign culture, and tail spinning into the fringes of the entertainment industry, she finds herself embroiled in a cultural conspiracy and discovers her past might not be what it seemed.

♫ Let’s not waste time falling in love. Let’s rise in love.

J.E. Maier has been dreaming up cinematic stories since she was a girl. With exuberance, she prowled the streets of her hometown, recounting her nightly visions to friends. Soon, her fantasies turned to lyrical prose, scribbling tidbits into the pages of notebooks with no idea how to implement them. In adulthood, she utilized her artistry in the creative industry by getting her hands on any project she could. Unfortunately, Covid had a way of leveling the world, and while confined to her home, her imagination soared, leading her to what she believes is her calling.

Claire can’t remember a time when writing wasn’t part of her life. Growing up, she used to write stories with her friends. As a teenager she started out reading fantasy and science fiction, but her diet quickly changed to romance and happily-ever-after’s. A native of Massachusetts and cold weather, she left all that behind to move to the sun and fun of California, but has always lived no more than twenty miles from the ocean.

In college she studied acting with a minor in creative writing. In hindsight she should have flipped course studies. Before she was published, she sold books on eBay and discovered some of her favorite authors by sampling the goods, which was the perfect solution. Claire has many book-irons in the fire, most notably her urban fantasy series, The Elementals’ Challenge series, but writes contemporary and shifter romances as well as.

While she’s not a movie mogul or actor, she does work in the film industry with her office firmly situated in the 90210 district of Hollywood. Prone to breaking out into song, she is quick on feet and just as quick with snappy dialogue. In addition to writing she does animal rescue, reads, and goes to movies. She loves to hear from fans, so feel free to drop her a line.

Table for Two

 

 

 In Eliot Parker’s engrossing Table for Two, human connection anchors the core. Through a collection of modern short stories, Parker deftly explores the nature of relationships: temporal and abiding.

Table For Two

A Collection of Short Stories

by Eliot Parker

Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Short Stories

Conversation is more than just words being spoken, interpreted, and acted upon by others. Conversation is also the ultimate human interest activity, bringing people into direct contact with people in all of their complexity and vulnerability. The main characters in Parker's ten multi-genre stories set in the heart of Appalachia want to be heard; to have others listen to them-really listen-and understand their needs and concerns.

 The characters in these stories do not always get listened to, and many of them find that the need for attention comes from aggression. A woman confronts her father about his dementia. Two fathers whose guilt and shame over the disappearances of their sons hide more sinister motives. A young boy frustrated with a ring appraisal learns a lesson about how people and things can be valued equally. Each of the characters in the collection is faced with a balance of talking and listening with a need for action, which often leads to manipulation and coercion.

The characters in these stories want to be heard; to have others listen to them-really listen-and understand their needs and concerns. However, when they do not get listened to, there is often an attempted persuasion by aggression. One character often finds himself/herself faced with another character who believes that conversation has no place in their lives.

The belief of the antagonists in these stories is that- who needs to talk when there is action that needs to be done? The antagonists believe that there is no need for conversation when the protagonist can be manipulated, coerced, or discredited by actions. Each story is a thrilling adventure with unexpected turns. Parker's honest and provocative prose will captivate readers with its urgency.
