1. 'CROWN OF CROWNS' - BY AUTHOR CLARA LOVEMAN

ABOUT THE BOOK

Crown of Crowns is the first instalment of a futuristic new YA saga by Clara Loveman, described as "sweeping, epic, and engrossing" with an "intriguing and twisting plot" that's perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and The Divergent Trilogy.


Booklife: Loveman's fast-paced young adult fantasy series, collected in an edition containing the first novel and its sequel, tells of a privileged teen whose eyes are opened to how the rest of the world lives: mostly in poverty. In a futuristic world where robots have taken most jobs and science has made most illnesses impossible, Kaelyn thinks everyone in the world is happy. She falls for Roki, who shows her that only a small handful of royal families are truly happy. After her mother is murdered and Roki disappears, Kaelyn must turn heartbreak into determination, first starting a foundation in her mother's name and then accepting that helping her people means marrying Prince Zawne and becoming king and queen. Then life gets complicated. (Readers eager to avoid spoiling the second book's premise should skip to the next paragraph.) After she's crowned, a deadly virus is released, and Kaelyn realizes that the only way to save her kingdom is to give up her own life and become a powerful spirit.


Balancing actions with consequences, Loveman makes this apocalyptic story complicated in the right way, reminding readers that people will be complex no matter how advanced the society. After making an epochal choice at the end of the first book, Kaelyn discovers that nothing will be as simple as she had hoped—her choices now ripple across her world and even her galaxy. Rather than clear good or bad guys, this series concerns shades of humanity, driven by love and desires. She creates an intriguing new world with varied continents, seasons, clans, social classes, and advancements in technology. As the story grows, it expands to an entire detailed and fascinating galaxy of different worlds, creatures, and the city at the center of it all, where spirits come together to influence–good or bad–the rest of us. The choices characters make in the final pages will stir reader debate, but the journey is certainly worth it.

2. 'COLD CONSEQUENCES & DELIBERATE DUPLICITY: A DETECTIVE SASHA FRANK MYSTERY SERIES'- BY AUTHOR DAVID ROHLFING

ABOUT THE BOOK: COLD CONSEQUENCES

It was almost 1 a.m. on a Saturday morning when Ashley drove down the dark street on Bloomington’s west side in the BMW 3-series convertible her father had given her as a college graduation gift. She was on her way to meet D to buy an opioid known on the street as “beans.” She parked near the intersection where the dealer had instructed her to wait.


A few hours earlier, she’d texted D that her need was desperate. He let her know he couldn’t meet her then at the Uptown Normal bar, their usual meeting spot, but he could the following night. Ashley texted back that she needed her pills now, so he agreed to meet her at a street corner near his home. She’d never been to this part of the city, and she hoped D wouldn’t be

late. As she waited, she turned down her radio, lit a cigarette, turned up the heater, and cracked the driver’s side window. Besides being addicted to pain killers, she’d also developed a pack-a-day habit and drank too much vodka every night. Not a good combination, and it was beginning to take a toll on her mind and body.


Because of her increased drug use the past few months, she’d been arriving late to work several times a week and sometimes missing it entirely, but she wasn’t too concerned because her father owned the company. Charlie Cummins Luxury Home Builders had a reputation throughout Illinois for the exceptional quality of their work building residences exclusively for the well-to-do. Ashley was supposed to be learning the business so she could take over as president of the company when her father retired.


She’d been waiting about five minutes when, out of the corner of her eye, she saw D angling across the street toward her car. He was wearing a heavy overcoat with a hood and leather gloves. As he walked toward her, Ashley hit the down button on the driver’s side window and tossed out her cigarette.


“Come on, D,” she said.


D nodded, walked past the front of the convertible, and opened the passenger door.


Across the street, two men standing in the shadows watched as the drug dealer got into the late-model BMW. Big G whispered to Sticks, “Who’s that?”


“Danny.” Sticks didn’t like Danny because the dealer was always flaunting his success, making sure everyone else in the neighborhood knew how much money he had.


D slid into the front seat and closed the door. “Hey, little girl. Sorry I couldn’t get to the club tonight. Kayla is sick.”


“Sorry to hear that, D. I hope she feels better soon.”


“Thanks. She’ll be fine. I just needed to stay home tonight to help Hallie take care of her.” D knew Ashley didn’t care how his two-year-old daughter was feeling. He reached into his right front coat pocket and pulled out a plastic vial containing ten beans.


Ashley opened her purse and took out seven hundred dollars in cash. D handed her the vial and took the seven bills from her. He’d never used drugs, and he couldn’t understand her addiction to the little, round, green, 80 mg pill that cost her several hundred per day, but she never offered to trade him sex for drugs like some of his customers did. Ashley had money, and that was the type of customer he preferred.


She popped the top off the vial and took one of the pills, quickly washing it down with water from the light blue aluminum bottle she always carried. “Thanks, D. We done?”


He smiled to himself. “Yes, we are, Ashley. Have a nice night.” As he started to get out of the car, a man shoved a pistol into his chest and started pushing him to the ground. D dropped to his knees immediately. Sticks then pointed his SIG Sauer 9mm in Danny’s face. “Don’t say nothin’.” He tapped the barrel on the bridge of Danny’s nose. “Understand?” Danny nodded.


Sticks found nothing in Danny’s pants pockets other than some keys and a billfold, but then he found the cash from the deal in his right front coat pocket. Another man crammed himself into the front seat and closed the door.


Inside the car, Big G smiled at Ashley as he waved his Glock back and forth over the center console. The big man pointed his gun at her chest. “What you got for me, girl?”


Ashley had never been held at gunpoint, and she was unsure what she should do next. “What do you want?”


Big G laughed. “Now, what do ya think?” He grabbed her purse as Ashley pushed back up against the driver’s side door.

BOOK REVIEWS
  • "Cold Consequences" keeps you thinking! The author seems to have hit his stride with his second book. He starts by telling you exactly what happened and who was involved and then the story takes off from there! Very entertaining and well-written! Looking forward to the next book in the series. I highly recommend it!

  • An interesting twist on a murder mystery where you know from the beginning who committed the murder.

  • Rohlfing did a great job in keeping the action moving and the results hidden until the very end. I enjoyed the book.

Sasha thinks there is only one victim but finds additional victims while attempting to solve the initial crime.


After a long business career that allowed David to travel to countless countries and six of the world's seven continents, he decided to write the Detective Sasha Frank Murder Mystery Series.

3. 'THE LESBIAN WHISPERER' - BY AUTHOR TAYLOR S. NORMAN

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Lesbian Whisperer is an eloquently enticing collection of short stories, each filled with fluttering anticipation of breathtaking new love, the subtle language of obsession for another, and the titillating sensuality shared between women. Life-giving and nurturing love blossoms, and comes alive between the pages, or rather between the sheets of this wonderfully observant and current debut novel about real love and jaw-dropping intimacy between women! Tonight on this velvety night of unspoken promises, will be like no other our first together, my first with a woman! I am caught somewhere between my heartbeats, alive and burning in the throes of anticipation and ecstasy!


This book is about the author's soul and how she loves, and through various life experiences, and mini-adventures, sexual in parts, her life, and whom she is unfolded always coming from a place of pure love. Her words and memories in this compilation of short stories make her happy, because to those who will read it and find themselves questioning their own sexuality or those that have repressed their emotions and perhaps fear their sexuality, or those in the throes of contemplating coming out, or have newly come out, know that you are not alone. Many who identify as LGBTQ discuss questioning their gender and sexuality from an early age. Though this experience is not universal, some in the community cite feelings of fear and isolation and experiences of rejection, social biases, violence, and discrimination. It is a journey that many have shared, are sharing, and will share and in sharing her story, Taylor desires to empower you on your own journey. Your feelings of love for someone of the same sex are beautiful and valid, and you must know that it is not just from the lust that sex comes, but from the nourishing beauty of love. Love knows no bounds, it is ageless and genderless, Love is love and the final destination home.

4. 'DOOM OF STARS' - BY AUTHOR MARTYN RHYS VAUGHAN

ABOUT THE BOOK

“Doom of Stars” attempts to marry two types of fiction: firstly a character-driven story, where the reader is hopefully drawn into empathizing with the main characters and their struggles against seemingly impossible odds.


The story is woman-centred with two main female protagonists: Kalli, a teenager, and her grandmother, Tamara Adekola. The two women never meet but the actions of the grandmother impinge strongly on Kalli’s life story. Both women are of African-American extraction.


The story opens upon the vista of a ruined Earth. The planet has become subject to great climatic changes and has winters in which most of the Northern Hemisphere is ice-bound in winter and dangerously hot in winter. Consequently, the capital of the North American Federation alternates between Florida in the winter and Canada in the summer.


We meet Kalli as an undervalued, almost despised, member of an impoverished community living on the edge of the sea somewhere near London, England. It seems the Ice Age has returned. Kalli is a loner, both for the colour of her skin, and her rather questioning nature. She thinks she understands what had happened to the world but cannot convince anyone to listen to her. Her preoccupation with deep issues leads to her causing two hunting expeditions to fail and as a punishment, all her treasured mementoes from the mother who abandoned her are destroyed. However, she manages to hide the most valuable treasure—a mysterious silvery ball, which seems to react to her presence.


However, life takes an unwanted turn when she accompanies the tribe to the snowy ruins of London. There she meets a man who claims to be her father and can provide Kalli with details about her family history. But his news is very unwelcome because it seems that her grandmother was a scientist who brought about the climate disaster through a failed experiment. In fleeing from this person, Kalli encounters a young man who will play a big part in her story. Jason works for the North American Federation and is recruiting young people for a mysterious project across the Atlantic.


Shortly afterwards, disaster strikes Kalli’s village and she is one of only a handful of survivors. But shortly afterwards she discovers the true nature of the sphere she holds. It contains a record of what actually happened in her grandmother’s day and what was the cause of the disaster.


The central third of the novel is a flashback to the dealings of her physicist grandmother with a glacially beautiful scientist called Elizabeth Baldwin. Baldwin is the greatest scientist since Einstein and is eager to solve many difficult problems which have a bearing on the world’s problems. But she also has a secret agenda upon which the whole story will resolve.


The action switches to a scientific base on the Moon and explores the interaction between the two brilliant women: one caring and empathic; the other cold and self-centred.


Adekola’s partner, Idris Parry, is a neuroscientist who has developed a way of recording memories in real-time and it is he who will create the silvery ball which Kalli will use to discover the terrible truth about what happened on the base and why her grandmother was blamed.


After the revelation of the true cause of climate change, the story returns to Kalli and Jason. Through the sphere, Kalli learns the truth about what happened between her grandmother and Baldwin, and also what Jason’s mysterious business of collecting young people is for. But she also learns that the world’s situation is far, far worse than anyone had suspected.

In fact, it is ending.

Now read on.

THE JOURNEY OF AUTHOR MARTYN RHYS VAUGHAN

Martyn Rhys Vaughan was born in the World Heritage town of Blaenavon in the green valleys of South Wales, a town where the first steps in the Industrial Revolution were taken and which has the best-preserved early ironworks in Europe.

From an early age, he was always interested in writing and storytelling and was particularly drawn to the writers of the “Golden Age of Science Fiction.” as his heroes — people like Ursula K. Le Guin, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and many others. He was enthralled by their visions of worlds so different from the ordinary. However, he noticed how many of the writers warned of trouble if science was misused and that struck a chord with him. He loved the work of H. Rider Haggard, with exciting adventures in unexplored Africa. He longed to write fantastic adventures and baffling mysteries like his heroes. He did reasonably well at school but found it hard to find a career that satisfied him. Martyn tried his hand at a variety of jobs including working in agriculture, where one of his most amusing memories was of chasing an escaped piglet down a country lane. After that, his scientific education led him to work in an industry in a variety of jobs in chemical laboratories.


Marriage and fatherhood made him realize that he needed to settle down, and he used his mathematical skills by working for the British Government in the area of measuring the economy.


After leaving the work, he finally had the time to see what he could do in the world of fiction and published his first novel – “Quantum Exile.” This story combined his two passions of concern for the environment and the use of science for the benefit of humanity. It tells the story of a man who finds himself thrown into an alternative reality, where climate change has run riot and large parts of the world are uninhabitable through heatwaves and rising sea levels. At the time, it seemed very speculative but recent events have shown such an outcome is all too likely.

BOOK REVIEWS
  • This story is a delight to read and makes it easy to imagine what it would've been like to sail the seas 150 years ago.

  • From the first pages, you're drawn into the adventure and the author keeps you there throughout the book.

THE JOURNEY OF AUTHOR MARGREIT MAITLAND

Writing has always been a dream, floating in the back of Margreit's mind for as long as she can remember. A love for literature was instilled in her by her mother and family in general from an early age. While growing up, she read a wide range of books from the classics to something quick and fun and adored getting lost in a story. When her grandfather Frost gave her the journal about Robert's trek across the world, it captured her imagination, and bringing his story of joy, heartbreak, and courage to life became a passion. She is proud to present this series as her debut to the writing world.

Since the publication of the first two novels in the series, Margreit has launched a Creative Writing Workshop for children aged 10 and up for schools and libraries and is enjoying an opportunity to help students discover their potential and original ideas. In addition, she and her publisher Stephanie Larkin have collaborated on an online Creative Writing Bootcamp which is available for all writers and aspiring writers age 17 and up. Sharing what she has learned about writing and helping others tap into their imaginations in creating stories is a happy accident. Margreit is an enthusiastic supporter of literature, education, science, wildlife, and nature. The source of which lies in being encouraged to muck around in the mud searching for hermit crabs and other tiny or large inhabitants of the natural world. She enjoys living on Long Island, where she is happily surrounded by beaches and with her two children and Mr. Frosty the cat. In her spare time, she can be found staying active and outside whenever possible and with her treasured family and friends. She will keep sharing more stories in the future.
