A young woman is thrust into a new life after receiving the gift of immortality. Or was it a curse?

Zoë Merrick led an unremarkable life until the night she was brutally attacked. She narrowly escapes death, rescued by Adam, an ex-soldier who offers her friendship and shelter. But something isn’t right. A powerful energy is now coursing through her body—one she’s unable to control.

Justus De Gradi is handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. After a chance meeting with a young woman who is dumbfounded by her Mage gifts, he offers himself as her mentor. Their world is treacherous, and if she doesn’t master her power, others will.

Torn between two choices, Zoe can either hide in the human world or embrace her new gifts and live as a Mage. Justus has sworn an oath to guard her life, but can he protect her from the one man who has a right to claim it?

Zoë learns the price of freedom…and the value of loyalty.

Jovian Son

Jovian Son, the sequel to the award-winning They Will Be Coming for Us, is the revealing second installment in The Jovian Universe.

“Kim Catanzarite weaves a tale so tight and thick with emotion, it keeps you guessing all the way to the heart-wrenching ending.”—Tricia, Goodreads review

“Evander is a fascinating secondary hero.”—Clarion Review

A mother desperate to keep her son.

A son with the power to change the human race.

Their fight against an unrelenting family bound by cosmic prophecy.

It has been ten years since Svetlana sought refuge for herself and her son in an obscure town in Russia. Ten years since she fought to keep Evander from the Jovians, her ruthless in-laws who harbor secret plans for both Earth and the human race.

Like any good mother, Sveta has carefully watched over her son while trying to provide a normal life amid extraordinary circumstances.

There is nothing normal about Evander.

In just ten years he has grown into the powerful body and advanced intellect of a young adult. He is well-liked by all who know him, charismatic, genuinely kind, attractive—the type who could become the world leader the Jovians want him to be.

Ten years ago, the family let Svetlana and Evander escape their watchful eyes. But Evander is the key to the Jovian prophecy, and once they discover that he has matured, they will use him to build the new future for the Earth they desire.

Svetlana will do everything in her power to hold them at bay, but she knows it won’t be enough. They are coming. The only question is, what will she do when they take him?

The Inner Circle

1908… Siberia… A tiny comet rips through Earth’s atmosphere and explodes above the Tunguska region of Siberia, instantly engulfing thousands of square acres of the mostly desolate region. The explosion is heard for hundreds of miles, the light of the comet seen halfway across the globe. Had the comet hit a few hours earlier in a more populated area, millions would have been killed…

A century later, another comet – this one hundreds of times bigger and more powerful – encounters a black hole in deep space and is pushed onto a new, deadly course leading straight to Earth…

A small group of humans – including the President of the United States, a former astronaut and a middle school science teacher – discovers the existence of this potentially deadly comet and keep its existence hidden from the rest of the world. Although the group – which calls itself the Inner Circle – has twelve years to deal with the problem, they will need every second of that time. Not only must they figure out a way to avert this crisis, they must also start to make plans in case they can’t avoid a catastrophe that could annihilate humankind…

Semper Human

The final conflict

Chaos has erupted throughout the known galaxy, threatening countless colonies and orbital habitats—as the Associative struggles vainly to keep the peace. Extreme measures are called for in these times of dire crisis, and the Star Marines are awakened from their voluntary 850-year cybe-hibe sleep. But General Trevor Garroway and his warriors are about to discover that the old rules of engagement have drastically changed . . .

The end begins with an old-style assault on rebels at the Tarantula Stargate. But true terror looms at the edges of known reality. Humankind’s eternal enemy—the brutal, unstoppable Xul—approaches, wielding a weapon monstrous beyond imagining. Suddenly not only is the future in jeopardy, but the past is as well—and if the Marines fail to eliminate their relentless xenophobic foe once and for all, the Great Annihilator will obliterate every last trace of human existence.

Defense of Others

THIS TIME, IT’S PERSONAL

One of Seattle’s most flamboyant and successful criminal defense attorneys is murdered in his office, and the case lands on the desk of homicide prosecutor David Brunelle. Brunelle isn’t about to shed a tear over the death of a longtime rival, but he has a job to do. The only things standing between him and a conviction are the facts and the law.

Once apprehended, the killer tells a story that, if true, would let him walk out the door. The dead man was everything Brunelle suspected: amoral, craven, unhinged. The killer and a friend went to him for legal help but things went sideways. Things were said. Tempers flared. The lawyer attacked his friend. He had no choice.

The law of self-defense extends to defending others. If what the killer says is true, he’s not guilty of murder. Brunelle is ready to believe everything he said about the victim, so why shouldn’t he also believe him about how the killing happened? Brunelle embarks on a voyage of discovery about his late opponent, and himself, to try to bring justice to a man who made a career of obstructing it.
