I think one of the Monarchs is getting ready to emerge from the chrysalis. It has turned all black and looks like it is separating a bit from the outer shell of the chrysalis. Or it’s dying. I am feeling a bit stressed out by these guys. I have made a few bad decisions, so I get a bit over dramatic. Plus with you guys following along with their journey adds a bit of pressure. I will be out for a good portion of the morning, so I might not be around to see it happen. That might be a good thing because I will not be able to leave the poor guy alone. If I come home and he is gone, that would be a really good thing. Maybe I should put it in a net???
Maverick Gambit (Maverick Space Adventures Book 1)
by Marjorie King
Genre: Science Fiction | Westerns
FREE for a limited time
Knox defends his own.
Space is a deadly business, a truth Knox has experienced first hand. That’s why he’s so protective of his ship and family. So when pirates plunder an impoverished town–a town that’s earned Knox’s guarded friendship–he’s going to do something about it.
Knox knows the pillagers will be back for more, so his town needs protection from any and all pirates, for years to come. Only one way to do that. His friends need shields to keep their town and children safe, and Knox will get those shields. Even if he has to steal them.
Knox devises a carefully crafted plan and hires the perfect crew. He’ll “borrow” from Caravan Suppliers — the Goliath of space shipping — a company that can afford to lose an expensive shield generator. No one will know he was there. Unfortunately, no plan survives contact with the enemy.
Caravan Suppliers has a dirty slave habit, and they’ll kill to keep it secret. When Knox stumbles onto it, he endangers his crew and his family. Will this mission cost Knox more than he’s willing to pay?
From debut author Marjorie King, Maverick Gambit is the first book in the Maverick Universe. With a layered galaxy full of rich characters, twists, and space battles, it’s perfect for fans of Timothy Zahn and Isaac Asimov.

Black Spark (Dark Magic Enforcer Book 1)
by Al K. Line
Genre: Suspense | Fantasy
FREE for a limited time
Full of magic, wizards, gangsters, vampires, imps, and some snappy dressing. All set in Wales. Yes, it’s British Urban Fantasy! What’s not to like?
I watched in horror as dark magic sprang from my hand faster than an imp after your socks. I didn’t know my name, let alone that I had such power. The man was dead. I panicked. I ran.
How was I to know I was a dark magic enforcer, tasked with keeping magic hidden from the world? Yeah, total noob move, I know.
But my memory is returning, and the Hidden have given me twenty-four hours to make amends. Cover it up. Finish the job I was given, or else. Failure isn’t an option. Well, it is, but I like me, and I like being alive.
The clock is ticking as I battle to make things right and exact revenge on those that took so much from me. Easier said than done as I deal with angry mages, bitey zombies, oversexed imps, creepy necromancers, and grumpy trolls — and those are just my friends! — all while trying to stop myself falling in love with my best friend, Kate, who just so happens to be a hot vampire.
I’m Faz Pound, a.k.a. Black Spark, Dark Magic Enforcer, and time is running out.
At least I have my looks. For now.

by Nicole Grotepas
Genre: Science Fiction
FREE for a limited time
There are problems. And then there are BIG problems.
Museums. Jewelry stores. Secure homes of the ultra elite. Shiro Oahu has broken into all of them. When he lands a job that requires him to go into a place that no thief would ever want to go — not in a million years — he quickly turns it down.
Because he doesn’t have a death wish.
But then the reasons to take it begin to stack up. He’s out of money. Holly Drake is gone and so the gigs aren’t exactly beating down his door. And the most compelling reason? A beautiful and enigmatic woman asks him to.
It’s a knuckle-bite moment.
There’s no way he can say no. With two experienced thieves like them, the job should be easy.
The BIG problem is, the object they’re after is in the most dangerous place a thief could think of. One false move and they’d have a hundred witnesses desperate to break their necks.
Can they pull it off or will Shiro Oahu lose his condo, his glorious clothes, and end up living in a box under a bridge in the canal district?
