Before: Jared’s Story by Gina Detwiler

About Featured Book: Before: Jared’s Story by Gina Detwiler

PREQUEL TO THE FORLORN SERIES…
Before Jared met Grace, he had lived several lifetimes of heartbreak, struggle, loneliness, and sometimes joy. His father tried to kill him, and his family shunned him for an original sin he didn’t truly understand until he came face to face with true evil and discovered the demon within himself.

Born in the mid-nineteenth century to a family of itinerant circus performers, Jared didn’t understand why his body grew so slowly or why his parents were ashamed of him and tried to hide him from the world. Through the years he discovered more disturbing things about himself—his unusual strength, the way his body healed with remarkable speed, and the “shadow people” who whispered dark and terrible things in his ear. Only music seemed to subdue their wicked urgings, and the prayers of his mother, the one person in his life who had loved him.

He soon came to understand that he was a danger to the world, and it would be better if he left it alone. But the more he tried, the more he was drawn into a whirlwind of darkness and evil from which he couldn’t escape.

The Casebook of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: The Gypsy’s Gleaming Eye by Robert Feol

The Casebook of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: The Gypsy’s Gleaming Eye by Robert Feol

“Sir Pendleton Stormsnout: Legendary Detective and Seeker of Adventure.”

So reads the sign that hangs by the entrance of the palatial estate that lies on the outskirts of the sleepy hamlet known as Mouseling Hollow. For most mice, hanging such a sign outside their place of business would be sheer arrogance – a sure sign that they were either puffed-up braggarts intoxicated with their own boastfulness, or vainglorious charlatans seeking to separate the innocent from their hard-earned coin.

But Pendleton Stormsnout is most certainly not ‘most mice.’ Far from it…

For Pendleton Stormsnout, the sign that hangs outside his stately manor house is merely a simple declaration of fact – for he is both a legendary detective, and a lifelong seeker of adventure. Over the course of many seasons, the tales of his exploits have spread far and wide throughout the entirety of King Teegan’s Far Collective. The rumors say that Pendleton Stormsnout is a prodigy – a virtuoso – a ‘renaissance mouse’ in the truest sense of the phrase. They say that his powers of observation and deduction are unparalleled. That he can out-think the most distinguished scholars from the University at Old Town, out-fight the greatest champions from the Black Baron’s infamous Arena, and out-drink the thirstiest scalawags in Captain Redfur Tumblefox’s fabled Wrecking Crew. Some even whisper that he sets a finer dinner table than his neighbor, the beloved chef and innkeeper Robert Teague.

When The Feldenspar Daily is granted a rare interview with the famous detective, it quickly dispatches a pair of journalists eager to learn the truth about Sir Pendleton Stormsnout. Is he really as sharp as they say? As learned? As daring? As sophisticated? Being no stranger to news stories that have been a bit…shall we say…exaggerated, the journalists arrive at his doorstep with two questions burning on their lips: has Sir Pendleton Stormsnout really done all the things he’s said to have done? And if so, what is the source of all his amazing abilities – how did he become the celebrated mouse that he is today?

As they question Stormsnout’s butler (and chronicler of sorts) Alfred, they will discover that the answers to their questions are both much greater – and far different – than they ever could have imagined…

Discover the answers for yourself in this, the first novella in the new Mouseling Hollow Chronicles series – featuring the origin story of Sir Pendleton Stormsnout, the breakout hit character from the internationally best-selling A Journey to Mouseling Hollow series!

About Successor of Magic: Frame of Magic:

Na’va never knew of the world as it was in the days without magic, or the before time when it was held by even the most audacious of wielders. The scars of a past misuse of what has now become a limited resource still etch their way across the county. Strongly regulated by the Serator Authority, the use of magic has become both a right of passage, as well as a closely guarded privilege.

From the moment Fiadh set eyes on Gideon, the peaceful rhythm of her life was lost. As a new path unfolds, Fiadh confronts the reality of old hatreds, the consequences of things hidden, and the truth of who she really is.

Stratotech 027 by M.T. Lancet

About Stratotech 027 by M.T. Lancet:

Post WWIII. Israel.

Rexala has wanted one thing her whole life: to know how her father died. The details surrounding his death are a military secret. Since the communists won World War Three, the Alliance has kept a lot of secrets. And she’s about to become part of one.

When she is taken to a training facility in the upper atmosphere, Rex discovers she is an Airborne Elite Asset – a cyborg enhanced to survive at high altitudes. She and her fellow recruits are part of a high-tech military experiment that will overthrow the oppressive communist State. With the State having destroyed the internet and now controlling all other technology, this is the Alliance’s last shot at restoring world freedom.

But Rex has her own goal. If she becomes the best fighter in training, she will receive alpha status and gain access to all military information the Alliance holds, including the details of her father’s death. Training will test more than physical fighting ability, however. It will make her fight parts of herself that have been pushed down by abuse and survivor instincts: the ability to trust, to work with others, and even to love. The fact that those around her are involved in sinister plots, determined to win the alpha position, makes that a difficult task.

If she makes it to alpha, she and her team will embark on a covert mission to strike the most dangerous terrorist group in the world. The survival of the free world will be in her hands. But it will all be worth it to find out how her father died.

Or if he did.

The first installment in the 027 series, this fast-paced, apocalyptic military sci fi with cyberpunk and dystopian themes will thrill fans of S.J. Kincaid, K.A. Riley, and Ramona Finn.
