As the Galactic Union of Planets and its people struggle to find further purpose, infighting amongst its factions begins to break out. In the wake of this chaos, dark and sinister forces begin to rise, claiming the opportunistic spoils for themselves by seeking to destabilise the Galactic balance of power and politics.

Meanwhile, Captain Rex Stormont and his crew aboard the Inter Galactic Vessel Bonitas speed towards a distress call emanating from a deep space research station that has come under attack from an unknown aggressor.

As they begin their investigation of the events surrounding this unexpected and uncharacteristic attack they unwittingly set into motion a chain of events that will change humanity’s very understanding of their own existence and the place they occupy within it.

The deeper Rex and his team go, the more mysterious this strange sequence of events surrounding the M104 Ultra-Massive black hole at the heart of the Sombrero Galaxy become.

Are these ominous omens something that humankind should fear? Or are they the first steps towards heralding in the much-needed next golden era of humanity?

????? “If you are looking for a gripping tale about aliens and what would happen when they make contact with an unprepared Earth, then this is your book. If you want something deeper, something that will leave you with profound questions and thoughts, then this is your book as well.”

????? “Secrets were revealed and the book ended without a cliffhanger. But what an ending it was! Methinks I wouldn’t mind so much picking up another sci-fi book by Clayton Graham.”

????? “The timelessness of this book hinges on the philosophical aspects. This is more than a book about aliens trying to experiment on humans and seeing whether inter-species contact will be peaceful… It is a book about human nature, our behavior towards one another, and our ambitions for the future.”

????? “Graham’s concept of how completely “alien” an alien could be is astonishing. Gone are the assumptions of “life as we know it”. Graham has conceived of life as we could not possibly imagine it.”

Luxuria

“What’s better than a shadow daddy? An entire series full of them! In Shades of Sin, Colette Rhodes hits the ground running with Luxuria and continuously serves us one five-star read after another. Hilarious, spicy, and wholly addicting, these books give romantasy vibes with just enough tooth and claw to keep you on the edge of your seat. My only complaint is that it eventually ends, and I can’t just live in this world forever.”
—Navessa Allen, New York Times best-selling author of Lights Out

Ophelia has a dirty secret.

Well, it’s not really a secret anymore.

Ophelia was born into a family of Hunters, tasked with protecting the humans from the creatures of the night who feast on their fear.

Except Ophelia always found the idea of monsters kind of intriguing. She even made the grave sin of committing some X-rated monster thoughts to paper—which in hindsight may not have been the best idea because her parents were mortified—but you live and learn. Well, everyone finds out your secret, you get banished from society, and then you learn.

But the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity Ophelia has been waiting for to make good on some of those fantasies has arrived. The King of Shades requires a hunter bride, and Ophelia is the best fit for the job.

Now she just needs to convince her surly monster husband, Allerick, that she’s the best fit for him.

Luxuria: A Monster Romance is an MF arranged marriage romance between a human and her not-quite-human husband suitable for readers 18+. It is the first in a series of interconnected standalone books.
