Find out what happens when Love finds a way. An excerpt from Happily Ever After in KrampusLand: A rising surge of crowd noise let Thom and everyone else know the parade was coming to an end. The Queen of the Night in her horseless carriage could only be next. Otherwise known as Julie Howard, Thom’s best friend since she’d moved here when they were both in first grade. The carriage slowed to a halt, and Thom stepped up to the front without a whole lot of hassle. Several of the other guys and a few of the girls who worked the Halloween season would have been happy to help the Queen of the Night step back down into reality. Thom couldn’t help but feel a flush of pride that they respected his years of friendship with Julie enough to back off. He tried to ignore the flutter of hope that she might want him for more than friendship someday. That flutter had been with him more and more over the last couple of months.

And that planet has a problem. The TransGalactic Corporation sends Luis Ahmad on a desperate mission to help the human colony on Bitanthra. Can Luis save the colony and communications across the galaxy? Excerpts from Dispatches from the Galaxy: The Changes Cascade Evans took a deep breath. "Senior Tech McHugh is missing. I made sure to investigate before I brought this to you, ma'am." "You're forgetting the geo-sensor." Sue tapped the tiny bump hidden in the hair above her right ear. "Mr. McHugh would not simply disappear, even if he could." "The tracking screen was the first thing I checked. Pull it up if you could, please, and we'll make sure." "One missing," she whispered. "Even if he were dead..." She switched over to the report on McHugh, and a deeper chill ran through her. The yellow of Invalid flashed behind his name. Not one other person showed that impossible status. Restricted Species "The freighters won't bring any food with them," Jim said. "Even if we warn them, they can't detour to another supply planet." Rob's face was pale. "There aren't any close by." "Not that they could re-route to." Jim scrubbed his face. "We won't actually starve to death. At least I don't think so. But with a year or more before we get a good harvest, we'll have a planet full of miserable cadets and furious miners on our hands." He knew all too well how shortages and hardships they weren't prepared for could turn a difficult situation into a nasty one. The Becalmed "II don't think it's trauma," Luis said, "or disease. I don't believe this is contagious at all. What do you think is going on?" Tears stood in Willis's eyes. "Some of us are afraid it's some kind of poison we're passing along to our children." "I can't rule anything out yet," Luis said. "But your medical center here has tested for everything we know of, and off-world facilities have too. Nothing seems out of line with your bodies. Nothing seems to accumulate or get depleted over time." "Except our kids' feelings," Myrtle said. She didn't look sad. She looked furious. "That's depleting, more and more every year."

Seeing each other sends Kim and Steph into a whirlwind of memories, and the enchanting prospect of discovering each other again. But more than the chance of renewing youthful romance swirls around them. Bringing unseen forces human and supernatural into play. Will Kim and Steph find the strength they need to survive in each other? An excerpt from Protecting Her Own: A Shared Homecoming Kim almost pushed the swing back too hard after all. Steph was here, right here in Lightning Gap? "I thought Steph got married?" Kim said. "Moved away with her new husband not long after I went to college in Atlanta?" Auntie Venus took a drink of coffee, peering at Kim over the edge of her world mug. The kind of knowing gaze that would either discover everything or get you to say it out loud for her. Kim fought revealing anything as hard as she could. "She did get married," Auntie Venus said, tilting her face up and to the left like she always did when she was trying to remember something. "Went to school down in Texas, but she ended up with a local boy. From over in Laurel Gap if I recall. They went up to Louisville for a while. But she's been back here for several months now. Started teaching at the start of the school year." "That is an interesting bit of luck. Both of us back here now after years away. Might be nice enough to catch up with Steph, see how life's been treating her. Just out of curiosity, did she bring the husband back with her?" Auntie Venus shook her head. "She sure didn't. Seems to me she got all of that out of her system before she got too old. Some might say that's a smart move. In her case, I have to agree."
Everything changes. Years of dating leave Branwen underwhelmed. Considering not bothering with the whole routine. Until she meets John. Bad experiences leave John bruised and cautious. Determined to wait until later to try again. Much later. Branwen shatters his resolve. Now they stand together on the edge of something more. One special night promises to change their lives forever. An excerpt from Soul Deep: A connection beyond heart-deep On an unusually impulsive thought, John picked up the sleek black phone in the kitchen. The lovely man he’d talked to about the Burns Night Supper had not only saved John when he was certain there wouldn’t be seats for him and Branwen. Mr. Sutherland had insisted they’d gladly make room for a young man so recently arrived straight from Glasgow. He’d also insisted John should call if he needed anything. Anything at all. Something about Branwen and the way she calmed every part of John without even trying—made him feel like the pieces all fit— left him more than willing to ask for help. He wasn’t about to let their first proper date, a belated birthday dinner for her, and her first Burns Night Supper pass without doing everything he could to make it memorable.
In the middle of disaster, impossible strikes Sue Warrell, Systems and Security Chief aboard Expedition Mission Bellagos, fought long and hard for a one-way trip. Protecting the lives of over eight thousand people and the generation ship they call home. As a failed systems update tests Sue and her team to their limits, a crew member’s disappearance pushes disaster into the impossible. Can Sue solve the mystery before the Bellagos passes the breaking point? An exciting race against time and technology! A Dispatches from the Galaxy Novella An excerpt from The Changes Cascade: A Deep Space Disappearance Evans took a deep breath. “Senior Tech McHugh is missing.” “What do you mean, missing? In case you’ve forgotten, this is a deep space vessel, Evans. No one can get in or out.” “I understand, ma’am. I made sure to investigate before I brought this to you. Just like you taught us.” “I also taught you about the geo-sensor, didn’t I?” Sue tapped the tiny bump hidden in the hair above her right ear. “Mr. McHugh is an experienced member of our crew. He would not simply disappear, even if he could.” “Yes, ma’am, the tracking screen was the first thing I checked. Pull it up if you could, please, and we’ll make sure.” Sue’s eyes darted to the crew count, and her whole body flashed hot, then cold and clammy. “Eight thousand seven hundred fifty-three,” she whispered. “That can’t be right. Even if he were dead...” She switched over to the specific report on McHugh, and a deeper chill ran through her. The yellow of Invalid flashed behind his name. Not the normal green that every single other person showed, or the sad black of the deceased that Sue hadn’t yet had to deal with on Bellagos. Not one other person showed that impossible status.
Great things often come in unusual packages A stormy Atlanta morning at the airport. Watching delays and cancelations stack up. The definition of miserable for most travelers. But Lottie finds the good whenever she looks for it. Then an odd discovery sets off a citywide adventure. Will Lottie solve the puzzle before it’s too late? An excerpt from Lottie’s Unexpected Literary Adventure: A Most Unusual Find Lottie smiled and hummed to herself as she picked up the phone. A quick text message to the office—who surely knew better than she did how bad the weather was today—and she moved her suitcase so she could prop her feet up and get comfortable. She knew the lounge membership was so she could settle in and work, like so many people around her were doing right now. But she could hardly create technical documentation for equipment she hadn’t even seen yet. Time for a nice, long read. She reached under the chair where she’d stashed her pocketbook and bumped a cool, sharp edge instead. Frowning, Lottie leaned over until she could grab the whole thing in her hand. “Huh,” she said under her breath. “Now who on earth left something like this here?” A book, an honest-to-goodness printed book, unlike the electronic one she’d been planning to dig into. An old one, too, heavy and thick, a hardcover with a black dust jacket.
That Treasure Most Rare April inherits the sad business of sorting out the ghosts of a loved one’s life. Digging into family chaos in the middle of a miserable Midwestern summer. Michele hopes to discover gems tucked into all the clutter. To rescue artifacts of past glory from a grand city in decline. Will they recognize the treasure they find in each other? An excerpt from The Real Treasure in Cairo: April pulled her spectacular waves of hair back with both hands, but when she let go it popped right back out into the humidified halo. “I found a couple of chest-of-drawers full of socks and underwear. I think whoever cleaned out the house just brought them over here without even looking inside. So now it’s my...my freaking problem.” Michele laughed and touched April’s shoulder. “Our problem. Like I said over the phone, I’m certain we’ll find some wonderful things no matter how it looks right now. And the last thing you need to worry about with me is swearing. If we spend any amount of time together, you’ll be surprised when you don’t hear me let it fly.” April grinned and laughed for real this time. “That’s a relief. Because I think this is going to be an all-day-swearing kind of job.”
