The Streets of Whirly

Magic meets murder in this steampunk fantasy by debut author A. M. Rodgers

When she first saw them, Jule hated the Fei—until she learned how useful invisible creatures could be.

In poverty and crime-stricken West Side Whirly, Jule is like anyone else at the bottom of the barrel, living meal-to-meal and stealing for money while avoiding her old gang leader and the stews of Doxy Row. Except Jule has the Fei, the tiny tricksters as likely to get her into trouble as out of it. When she’s hired by the mysterious blue-monocle man, she thinks it will be an easy in-and-out job. Instead she’s plunged into a decade long mystery of wizards, earls, and murder. If she ever wants to earn her freedom, she will have to solve the final question:

Who’s really running the streets of Whirly?

Winter Plague

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS WINTER PLAGUE BY QUINN BLACKBIRD. THIS IS A NEW EDITION:

‘If I find out you had anything to do with that ambush, Winter… I’ll not only kill you, I’ll let you turn.’

I started this plague with packing up my car to drive across the country. All I wanted those bloody, violent months ago was to visit my sister.
But that was the day the plague changed everything—a rabies variant sweeping throughout the world, devouring all in its path.
I was fast to learn that sticking to myself in this new world was the best way to survive—
That is, until I was stuck down an alleyway in the city, holding my dog Cleo to my chest, and releasing that final scream I would ever take as the infected closed in on me.
He saved me.
Leo.
Leo, the ex-merc, ex-military, whatever his past was, he was shadowed in secrets and blood.
And so I became part of a group. Just for a while, I told myself. Just until I get my strength back, find a working car, can pack it up with supplies…
Then Leo’s deadly grip on my heart gripped just that bit tighter—
I knew then, I was a goner.

Doyle’s Law

In the not too distant future, on a decaying space-station from a high Venus orbit, a cantankerous and disgraced scientist awaits the delivery of a mysterious shipment. He hopes to use it to invent a new propulsion system and, in doing so, salvage his reputation. However the station’s decommissioning crew, led by Chief O’Connor, are sceptical about his plans. They believe them to be nothing but drunken delusions, a theory which seems more than plausible given the bold and outlandish claims he has been making of late. A routine docking going seriously awry, and a number of other strange goings-on around the station have thrown the crew into chaos. Accusations of theft and sabotage are thrown around, and for a while it seems as though everyone is doomed. However the source of the mystery is far beyond any of the crew’s comprehension, and the key to their salvation lies in the hands of a very unlikely hero. https://www.facebook.com/DoylesLawSamRoberts Reviews from Goodreads ????? “…Plot was insane, in the best way of course … made for a page turning experience…” ????? “…I thought I had it all figured out but was so wrong. I couldn’t put it down. All makes sense by the end…” ????? “… can’t wait to read more from this author absolutely loved it … Amazing story…” ????? “…brilliantly twisted!…” ????? “…This damn book cost me too much needed sleep… a giant puzzle with all the pieces slowly making sense and fitting together…” ????? “…I’d finish a chapter and then check the time and decide it was time to go to sleep and turn off the light only to switch it back on 5 minutes later because I needed to know!…”

Phobos: Mayan Fear

New York Times bestselling author Steve Alten delivers Phobos, the thrilling final entry in the Domain trilogy, a dazzling look at Mayan mythology incarnate

For two thousand years, the Mayan Calendar has prophesied the end of mankind on a date equating to December 21st, 2012. As that day approaches, greed, corruption, economic collapse, and violence seem to be pushing our species to the predicted brink of disaster. But there is another Doomsday threat looming in our near future, a very real threat that can wipe-out not only humanity but our entire planet.
Phobos: Mayan Fear is a doomsday rollercoaster ride of adventure that follows Immanuel Gabriel to the end of the world and back again for one last shot at salvation. During Immanuel’s journey with his deceased grandfather, archaeologist Julius Gabriel, Julius reveals everything the Mayans knew and feared—from the secrets of creation that predate the Big Bang to the existence of extraterrestrials that have come to Earth to save our species.

The universe is not what it seems, nor is human existence. The ticking clock of physicality that begins at conception and terminates with our final breath is neither the end nor the beginning, but an elaborate ruse constructed as a test.

We are failing miserably.
