Zephyr’s Flight
by Ray Strong
Genre: Fantasy

Zephyr's Flight

A thousand years after the Chaos erased history, a rebellious village girl who sang with dragons rises to save her clan.
Astria’s only dream is to become a Dragon Rider, like her ancestors who once forced peace upon the Legions and the barbarian Hordes. But the enigmatic dragons have their own motives and leave Astria without a partner.
Until she meets Zephyr. And though crippled and flightless, she will not abandon him.
Fearing an ancient myth of the End Times, the Council of Elders forbids their partnership and threatens her with exile. Defiance risks death in the Wild and losing everything she’s ever known.
But peace is a lie—and the Hordes are closing in once more, embroiling Astria in a war between empires where only one person understands her desires: a warrior from another land.
From an award-winning author comes an exhilarating new fantasy series, where sacrifice and defiance collide in a battle for survival, and love may be the most dangerous risk of all.

Exit A Head: Short Stories, And The Stories Behind The Stories
by Dave Pasquantonio
Genre: Contemporary Fiction

Exit A Head: Short Stories, And The Stories Behind The Stories

There are stories — and there are the stories behind the stories.
This may look like any short story collection. And on the surface, it is, albeit a strange one. Writer and book editor Dave Pasquantonio presents twenty short stories that dip their toes in, and often dive deep into, the weird end of the pool.
Newspaper articles about a house for sale and a local diner give us inside information that no paper would ever print. A housefly takes on chanting spiders, an overly chatty dragonfly, and a car window in a nod to 1940s pulp novels as she chases down a sugary treat. A woman’s fragmented inner thoughts during a quick shower tell the story of her life. And Death is mightily frustrated when the higher-ups roll out a new program, forcing it to talk to humans before it collects their souls.
Then Dave talks about the writing lessons he learned while writing each story. Choosing the right point of view. Finding your writing rhythm. Adding flaws and weirdness to your characters. Nailing a story’s ending.
Not to worry if you’re here just to read the stories, however. Skip over those (boring?) author notes and stick around to see what has exited Dave’s head—the funny, the sad, the quirky and the bizarre. Even he was surprised — and he has to live with his head full-time.

The Light of Blood
by Jade Christy
Genre: Fantasy

The Light of Blood

A love so deep and unexpected, it hurts in all the right ways.
I’m Cassandra Burke. Scientist. Scholar. Human outsider invited to Nivara, the premier vampire city.
Lumiùre—my creation—lets vampires walk in the sun. But not everyone thinks that’s a good thing. Some call it freedom. Others call it a betrayal. Vampires are divided—those who crave the light, and those who worship the dark.
Now cultists are rising. And the Ancients—banished monsters from a forgotten age—are stirring in their prison beneath Shadowkeep.
Oh, and there’s one more problem. Him. A vampire.
Gorgeous, dangerous, powerful—and off-limits. But every time he looks at me, my world shifts. I feel it in my bones. Every touch sparks something deep in my blood I don’t understand.
And this seductive vampire, Dominic, says I’m the Bloodlight. The one with the power to bring peace – or unleash hell. What happens if he’s right?

Zero Knowledge
by Arnaud Pascolo
Genre: Mystery

Zero Knowledge

Just when you think you know all the answers…you don’t.
Arnaud Pascolo’s latest international crime thriller is more than an intense whodunit or police procedural – it’s a gripping mystery that begins with a shock and never lets you come up for air! You have to do more than put together the pieces and find the villain – you have to figure out the crime!
Crypto company BionTic is facing financial difficulties, but a strange text message gives Luc Stark hope for a brighter future. The meeting invitation results in his being handed an envelope labeled “Clue One,” which he is instructed to open after leaving. Moments later, the man answers a phone call, and Luc suddenly collapses and dies. When police detectives begin looking into the strange death, they learn that is only the beginning of the mystery.
“The storyline was fast-moving, and I found myself unable to turn the pages quickly enough, fearful that I would miss something important.” — Alma Boucher for Readers’ Favorite ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Who is behind this unique murder, and what is the motive?
When crypto entrepreneur Luc Starck dies under suspicious circumstances in the heart of Switzerland’s crypto valley, the pressure on police to solve the case is intense. As the investigation shifts from untimely natural death to potential murder, senior investigator Bernt Berg partners with his rookie daughter to find answers that are more elusive than anyone imagines.
Luc’s friends in the cryptocurrency world aren’t making the search for answers easy. Duan Ripa, a fragile man mourning his deceased wife, works outside of the police to decode the private key to Luc’s crypto wallet and uncovers an unnerving revelation – Luc’s death was no accident. Faced with a life-and-death race against the clock, Duan must find the strength to unlock the final clue before it’s too late.
Zero Knowledge is a cleverly crafted, fast-paced thriller set in the Swiss city of Zug. As answers lead to more questions and the initial conclusions prove incorrect, will the intrepid young investigator be able to step into her father’s shoes to solve this crime, or is this something more than a brilliant murder?
