Ring Fold by Scott Swisher
“High-octane, engrossing, and action-packed. A truly unmissable sci-fi read.” — Readers’ Favorite
“An exciting, heartfelt time travel novel. Scott Swisher mixes up scene-setting and action-based adventure exceptionally well. His imaginative descriptions of different historical periods transport readers with ease, and strong character development make this enjoyable sci-fi tale a standout.” — SPR
Jordan Zesker is one of only five surviving descendants of “The Ring.” She thinks the 1920s are tough, but family debt and speakeasy blues will soon seem insignificant. Her blood type, a bona fide blessing and a curse, has placed her in the sights of TEMPUS. Shadowy forces have long worked to weaponize the chosen few endowed with the gift to transcend time and space … and absolutely nowhere is safe.
When Jacob appears out of the blue, bearing news too strange to believe, a staggering decision must be made: will Jordan cling to her desolate life or trust this stranger and help assemble an intergenerational team to somehow save humanity?
Accessing the Fold, an extra-dimensional passageway through time, Jordan must race to find her fated kin across the ages. Rocco in 1956. Paul in 1973. Steffi in 1984. Carissa in 2015. Each will prove essential in the battle for humankind’s future—and past.
Should diabolic entities succeed in overtaking the Fold, it won’t just mean the end of Jordan’s kind but all things good.

About Souled Out:
My name is Ell Clyne. I’m just a normal girl living in your average small town, trying to make a buck at a dead-end job.

The truth is, I work for vampires. My bank account makes me feel like an influencer without the vagina-scented candles. And that spot in my chest—right where my soul should be—was metaphysically scooped out to make room for the revolving door of souls I read each night before I return to sender. It isn’t the philanthropic job of my dreams, but I told one hell of a lie to get it.
I did it in order to save someone I love more than myself.
When my lie is discovered, the vampires want answers… Even if it kills me.

Because liars pay in blood.
Fans of fanged urban fantasy with a dash of horror, humor, and family drama will savor the twists and emotional scars of Souled Out.

About Confession by Sarah Forester Davis:
When I was twelve, I met this boy. His life was the complete opposite of mine. He grew up on the beach with his single mom, spending his day surfing and wandering around Flagler in his swim trunks. I grew up on the Halifax with my callous parents, behind a gated driveway, wishing my life wasn’t already planned out for me.
I knew my parents wouldn’t approve of our friendship, so I spent two years sneaking over to his house, hoping at some point I’d have a say in how I lived my life.
When I was fourteen, there was an accident. As much as I wanted to keep him a secret, as much as I needed to see him every day, we were forbidden to ever see each other again. If I disobeyed my parents there would be consequences, ones that would destroy him.
Three years have passed, three years of watching myself waste away without him, sinking into a deep depression that I struggle to pull myself out of each morning. But then the unthinkable happens, his mom, she’s tragically gone and I find myself back in his life.
This connection we have can only be explained with one word. Soulmates. At seventeen, we are no longer innocent little kids. On the verge of adulthood our relationship has changed over time.
We need each other. We have each other. Our chemistry is undeniable.
But there are secrets that have suddenly become unraveled. There are mysteries that we find ourselves trying to solve. There are people who show up in our beach town, strangers who bring buried knowledge about the past.
We find ourselves thrown into the middle of a dangerous game that could cost us both of our lives, and there’s one simple fact that seems to shout out at us as each day passes.
There was a reason we were kept apart.
Confession. This is our story.
