A glamorous media darling, a surprise heiress, and the magical competition of a lifetime.
At sixteen, Honora “Nora” Holtzfall is the daughter of the most powerful heiress in all of Walstad. Her family controls all the money–and all the magic–in the entire country. But despite being the center of attention, Nora has always felt like an outsider. When her mother is found dead in an alley, the family throne and fortune are suddenly up for grabs, and Nora will be pitted against her cousins in the Veritaz, the ultimate magical competition for power that determines the one family heir.
But there’s a surprise contestant this time: Lotte, the illegitimate daughter of Nora’s aunt. When Lotte’s absent mother retrieves her from the rural convent she’d abandoned her to, Lotte goes from being an orphan to surrounded by family. Unfortunately, most of them want her dead.
And soon, Nora discovers that her mother’s death wasn’t random–it was murder. And the only person she can trust to uncover the truth of what happened is a rakish young reporter who despises everything Nora and her family stand for.
With everyone against her, Lotte’s last hope is hunting for the identity of her father. But the dangerous competition–and her feelings for Theo, one of the Holtzfalls’ sworn protectors–turns her world upside down.

Age/Genre: Adult/Sci-Fi, Fantasy
Format(s): Ebook
Hacker Kita Yamasaki would do anything to escape the post-apocalyptic landscape that was the result of the Forever Winter. But for a normal person, the only options are the war-hungry nation-state of Ex Cathedra or the isolationist United California. Fortunately, Kita is anything but normal.
When she finds a faded brochure for the BC Oasis—an underground greenhouse capable of sheltering a quarter million people—she jumps at the opportunity, even going so far as to steal a fission battery the oasis requires to operate at full capacity. There’s just one problem . . . The battery belongs to the ruthless judges of Ex Cathedra.
Now Kita finds herself the target of a deadly chase. In her race to safety, she picks up three fellow Dallas; his mute daughter, Crouton; and Bishop, a junk hunter. But will they betray her and take the battery for themselves? Is one of them a member of the cultist Iron-Blooded who worship the few remaining alien invaders scattered across Earth’s wasteland?
Faced with certain death if they’re caught by the judges’ power-armored soldiers, Kita must put aside her suspicions and make a headlong dash for sanctuary—and the promise of a new life.

Ultimate Blog Tour in association with Anthem Books:
Good Trouble by Forest Issac Jones, Ed.D.
Tour dates: May 1st - May 7th
Age/Genre: Adult/Non-Fiction, Historical, Civil Rights, Irish Interest
Format(s): Ebook, Physical
Through oral history based on numerous interviews, award-winning author Forest Issac Jones, Ed.D. shows in his groundbreaking new book, Good Trouble: The Selma, Alabama and Derry, Northern Ireland Connection 1963-1972, the strong connection between the Black Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Catholic Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland – specifically the influence of the Montgomery to Selma march on the 1969 Belfast to Derry march.
2025 commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Selma march. Jones interviews Richard Smiley and Sheyann Webb-Christburg, who were both at Bloody Sunday in Selma and in the march to Montgomery at ages sixteen and eight respectively, as well as relatives of the Courageous Eight (whose family members were Selma citizens who started the movement and invited Dr. King to Selma to help fight with them). Jones also travelled to Dublin, Belfast, and Derry to conduct interviews with those who were involved in that movement (including Billy McVeigh – featured in the BAFTA winning documentary, Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland). Jones was able to talk with Eamonn McCann, who is known as the John Lewis of Northern Ireland due to his leadership on the Belfast to Derry march which concluded at the infamous Burntollet Bridge attack in 1969, strikingly similar to Bloody Selma on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965. Unlike most books on Northern Ireland which focus on Bloody Sunday, Good Trouble focuses on the pivotal incidents at Burntollet Bridge and the Battle of the Bogside.
Good Trouble provides one of the few objective, comprehensive histories of the connection between the two movements that have transformed both countries. With clarity and precision, Forest Issac Jones examines the movements’ origins, its links, marches, protests, riots and dangerous confrontations, and the roles of individuals that helped bring change in both countries. Julieanne Campbell (award-winning author of On Bloody Sunday) contributed the Introduction, which sets up the story of how the Catholics saw the courage of the Black civil rights movement on television and found inspiration.
