Find Your My eBooks and Audiobooks at Your Local Library with Overdrive/Libby, CloudLibrary, Hoopla, and More

I love to read! I also have a teenage son who consumes a gallon of milk every other day, and a growing daughter who needs new clothes and shoes on the regular.

I support my book habit by frequenting my local library. Maybe you do, too. All my books are currently available to libraries through Overdrive/Libby (the most popular app), CloudLibrary, BorrowBox, Hoopla, and more. If your local library loans out ebooks, but doesn’t have mine, they’ll have a way to request it.

If your library doesn’t loan ebooks or audiobooks, you may be able to get a library card at a larger library system for a modest fee. Here is a website that lists libraries with non-resident borrowing priveleges.

The sequel to Beasts in the Garden

John is alive. Barely.

Worse, Hana is lying to him.

Hana’s Hail Mary attempt to save John’s life worked. But they’ve ended up further in time than intended, light-years from their destination—on Dawkins, a colony world they know nothing about.

…A colony that has cloned Hana and other prominent scientists—and seems to have created the near-perfect city of Twilight.

But they’re about to discover that Twilight is built on lies. Lies that could tear them apart—and condemn Hana to a fate worse than death.

This is not a standalone novel. Reading Beasts in the Garden first is strongly recommended.

Who’s afraid of the big, bad werewolf?

On the fog-shrouded cobblestone streets of gaslamp London, Agent Clemeny Louvel is the most feared werewolf hunter. Every supernatural creature in Her Majesty’s realm knows the Red Cape Society’s relentless operative dubbed “Little Red.” When the city’s most illustrious alchemists mysteriously disappear, Clemeny is assigned to the case.

To help her get the problem in hand, Queen Victoria appoints Clemeny a temporary partner, Sir Richard Lionheart, a werewolf with a knightly history and a tendency to be far too flirtatious for either of their good.

Can Clemeny trust him to help her chase down the monsters they’re hunting?

From New York Times bestselling author Melanie Karsak, Wolves and Daggers is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale set in Victorian England.

Somewhere in the universe, a forgotten starship is waiting.

Drake steals artifacts so they can benefit all of mankind. They belong in a museum, after all, not hoarded by a select few in their private vaults. It’s a dangerous life, but someone has to do it.

Then he learns of a map to the location of a lost mega-freighter once belonging to the ancient royal family. Drake, like so many before him, can’t resist the siren’s call. After all, it’s the find of a lifetime.

All he needs to do is steal the map, right?

Except nothing is ever easy for Drake. The map is housed inside a super vault, surrounded by guards ready to shoot on sight, and now there’s a woman with an eyepatch and a vendetta. And all of that could end up being the easy part.

Getting the ship and keeping it will be much more difficult.

Experience a riveting, brand new science fiction saga from USA Today Bestselling Authors J.N. Chaney and Terry Mixon. If you’re a fan of the Last Hunter, Renegade Star, or Backyard Starship, you’ll love this tale of science fiction intrigue, galactic exploration, and unfathomable discovery.

From a world unknown to any.

With their main enemy among the Jontihem in disarray, Drake and Yukiko must act against the city of Kiros before their foes get their feet back underneath them. It’s time to turn them against one another. Only before they can get started, there are rumbles from below the city of Atlantis. It seems their explorations have awoken something.

A voice whispers from nowhere.

Trying to juggle the critical work of protecting the city, Drake and Yukiko have to balance that with getting to the bottom of what is happening under their city. Is it the precursor to something dangerous? Who or what is behind it? What is its ultimate endgame? Millions of lives hang in the balance, and the wrong answer to any of the questions could prove deadly.

Telling truths deeper than the gravity well of a black hole.

Undaunted, Verity presses forward, uncovering scandalous secrets, long-forgotten ghosts, and a shocking trail of clues that places her directly in the path of a killer.
