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.

Commander Noa Sato doesn’t believe in aliens. She’s wrong.

Imprisoned on her home planet, accused of aiding an alien invasion, Noa witnesses the beginning of a genocide–however, the murderers are not aliens, but her own people. Launching a daring attempt to reach the Galactic Fleet, she makes an unlikely ally in stranded professor, James Sinclair.

But James is not all that he seems.

James is not the man he once was. He has technological augments that give him extraordinary abilities. His augments protect Noa and himself, but he has no memory of how he came to have them. Worse, the changes may be more than physical.

Noa’s mission and the answer to James’s mystery will put them at the center of a confrontation of galactic proportions.

A confrontation that challenges the boundaries between human and alien, man and machine.

A confrontation that might spell the doom of the entire human race.
