Normally I wouldn’t quote memes I see on Facebook, but this one was me the other day. “My Mom Voice was so loud even my neighbors brushed their teeth and cleaned their rooms.” Long ago I turned into the crazy lady/mom on the street. Wandering the front yard in my robe, crazy hair, and giving visitors to the street the evil eye. I finally stopped giving the evil glares to this one man who walks his dog by my house every day at 7:30. I figure after three years he might be okay. I’m not letting my guard down completely, but he passed the first round. I always wondered how the crazy lady on the street became that way. Now I know.

Chimera (Universe Eventual Book 1)
by N.J. Tanger
Genre: Science Fiction | Teen & Young Adult
FREE for a limited time
The fate of Earth’s first colony rests on the shoulders of a pair of misfits: Theo Puck, a rogue hacker with a gift for speaking to machines, and Selena Samuelson, a brash but talented pilot with a dark secret in her past. Earth went silent over a decade ago. No contact, no resupply. If something doesn’t change, the colony will go extinct. The only way to restore communication with Earth is the ancient colony ship Chimera. Two centuries of disrepair have taken their toll on her–the shipboard AI that allows travel between distant stars is lost in unending sleep. She must be woken and the ship rebuilt for a desperate return journey to Earth. The mandate to repair and crew the Chimera seems like a game to Theo–one he isn’t invited to play. Angry at having been overlooked, Theo hacks his name onto the list of those selected to crew the Chimera, a decision he soon regrets. A brutal murder changes everything: Theo must make it to the Chimera or his family will suffer terribly consequences. Piloting an ore trawler is the only life Selena has ever known until an industrial accident strands her aboard the Hydra, the orbital station responsible for rebuilding the Chimera. A chance encounter with her AI suggests Selena might have a far larger role to play in saving the colony than she–or anyone else–ever imagined. Theo and Selena’s futures become intertwined as they carve out places for themselves in the crew that will navigate the Chimera back to Earth. However, behind the scenes, a brilliant sociopath has set events in motion that could not only destroy their lives, but doom their colony as well.

Kimo’s War
by James J. Frey PhD
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
FREE for a limited time
Kimo’s War is America’s Novel. The story alone will rapidly seize the attention of fans of military fiction and non-fiction, collectors of first-person histories of the U.S. efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and particularly those who have had boots on the ground in either theater. It is a complex psychological and comedic narrative of the life and mind of LT Kimo Kitazono and his alter ego, Lapu (the Hawai’ian God of Darkness), who materializes as a defense mechanism in Kimo’s mind during the War. The trifecta of Kimo, Lapu, and military-vs-civilian culture, emerge through the story as both the main and supporting characters. The writing is raw, and at times, humorous and satirical. The narrative reads like Dave Barry with a healthy dose of PJ O’Rourke and is seeded with heavier verse reminiscent of Joseph Heller. You will laugh and you will cry. But perhaps more importantly, you will experience first-hand wartime conflict and its physical and psychological aftermath through the unique psychological perspective of the author, James J Frey, Ph.D. The book will surely find a permanent place in many personal libraries.
