I only wanted to control my magic, but a single potion catapulted my life into chaos…
I’m Nyssa Thornheart, a witch with broken magic. I escaped to the big city to pursue my passion for alchemy and hide from my coven until I fix my powers. If my unstable gifts are exposed, they will be stripped away. To live without magic, that’s a fate worse than death. So I drank a long-forgotten potion in a desperate bid to harness my volatile powers.
But when I’m cornered by thugs, I unleash a rare and dangerous magic, tearing the veil between our world and a demonic realm. My new powers are growing stronger and resisting every attempt to subdue them. Now I’m a hunted witch, pursued by both demonic creatures and the authorities determined to protect the realm from the threat I pose.
Can I master my magic or will I have to sacrifice my powers before the city falls to demons?

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.

2024 9th Place Finalist
Skylark in the Fog by Helyna L. Clove
Tour dates: May 12th - May 16th
Age/Genre: Adult/Sci-Fi, Space Opera
Format(s): Ebook
So when the universe falls to pieces, it doesn't mean your life has to, right? That comes later.
Jeane Blake, captain of the spaceship Skylark, makes her living by looting dead worlds, planets fallen prey to naturally occurring wormhole-like rifts plaguing the cosmos. She survives the only way she knows how: avoiding commitment and arguing with her dead foster father's ghost. But when her crew stumbles upon an alien device that could collapse the wormhole network and wipe out all sentient life, they catch the hungry eyes of the Union, a tyrannical empire hunting the sinister tech.
As she flees the Union's brainwashed agents, Jeane is forced to take on a shady mission and gets stuck assisting the runaway monarch of a technocrat planet. Queen Maura Tholis is seeking the aid of an interstellar resistance to reclaim her war-torn world, with another trouble-magnet device as her bargaining chip: a glove that allows her to command AI systems. Jeane couldn't care less about the whole deal, but things become personal when the Union annexes the place she calls home. And it might be her fault.
Reluctant to become weapons in the hands of power-hungry militants and desperate rebels, smuggler and queen join forces. But to save their homes, they must redefine themselves, work with the enemy, and face personal traumas they'd buried long ago-and only stars know which challenge might break them in the end.

2024 8th Place Finalist
The Magdalenes by Jeanne Skartsiaris
Tour dates: May 26th - May 30th
Age/Genre: Adult/Women's Fiction
Format(s): Ebook
The Magdalenes is a story of redemption and reinvention.
Jude Madigan is a successful plaintiff's attorney who lived out a nightmare and spent years keeping it hidden. After being raped and impregnated by a Catholic priest when she was fourteen, she has spent years creating a new life, now driven to get justice for her clients.
She buries her past, and her emotions, under a solid veneer of ambition, but just as she's about to bring her biggest litigation case to trial, a strange assignment is forced upon her. Her law firm is given a huge commission to handle the estate of a recently deceased woman, with the catch that Jude, and no one else, must act as trustee. The terms require her to oversee the construction and finances of a Catholic halfway house for prostitutes.
Jude fights against this agreement since she turned her back on the church years ago and intends to keep it that way. Her boss insists she complies, not knowing about her past—or the pain of having her daughter taken from her arms minutes after the birth by a nun.
Damaged and patched together with anger and shame, Jude is reluctant, but becomes involved with a group of nuns and the prostitutes they're trying to help.
But the mystery remains as to why the stranger specified her, a litigation attorney, not an estate attorney, to handle the case. Though Jude struggles both personally and professionally, she discovers that what she feared most was what she needed to heal. Every belief is tested, and a lost dream is realized.
