The last stop for retired war machines. A new arrival with missing memories. When foes return, can he recall enough to halt a planet-wide catastrophe?

Major Misty Durham hoped to put tragedy and bloodshed behind her. Now the human administrator of Mechhaven, she’s committed to providing sanctuary for decommissioned mechs. But conflict returns with a bang when a legendary machine with crucial secrets crash-lands on her world.

Angel is desperate to remember his mission. As the advanced mech seeks asylum after a failed deep-cover operation, he brings intimate knowledge of the enemy’s tactics… except battle-inflicted damage prevents him from accessing the data. And when his adversaries come hunting, his last chance for survival is to pray the mothballed locals won’t give him up.

After refusing to surrender her newest charge, Misty gathers disarmed mechanized warriors and former enemies to prepare for the inevitable mêlée. And Angel knows if he can unlock the intel buried in his memory matrix, he could be the key that stops them all from being shipped to the scrapyard.

Can an embattled leader and a fugitive mech inspire a ragtag crew to rise up and fight for peace?

Pax Machina is the action-packed first book in the thrilling Mechhaven science fiction series. If you like thunderous tech, complex relationships, and shocking twists and turns, then you’ll love Greg Sorber’s tumultuous tale.

Almost a hundred years ago, a major terrestrial event reshaped the earth’s coastlines. Goodbye entire cities. Goodbye entire states. Goodbye entire countries. And when the authorities outlawed salvaging from these underwater cities, why say hello to a new breed of criminal: underwater reclamation specialists. Even a hundred years later, there’s still a whole lot of loot for the reclaiming.

But it’s not theft if you put it back, right?

After cracking an underwater vault in their first major heist in the Seattle Isles, Isa and her crew think they’re on easy street again—that is, if they can figure out what it is exactly they stole. A question, they soon learn, where their very lives hang in the balance.

Thrust into a high-stakes game of subterfuge and deception by the local mob boss, Isa and her crew must scramble to unravel the mystery of what it is they stole while unseen forces move against them.

Harried. Threatened at every turn. Isa and her crew must stay one step ahead to stay alive.

Sunken City Capers is a fun post-apocalyptic series with no zombies, just criminals and mischievous ne’er-do-wells. Fans of heist books/movies and strong female protagonists will likely enjoy this series.

My name is Naida Griffith and I’m a sorceress. I actually found that out not too long ago.

I’ve lived with an undefined something burning in my belly for a while, feeling as if something wasn’t quite right under my skin. Then, on my eighteenth birthday I started getting headaches. Bad ones. And random stuff started following me around.

Recently I was approached by a group called the Société of Dire Magic to become Keeper of the Artifacts. A magical librarian. Given that magical artifacts have taken to following me around, I decided I might have an aptitude for the job. So I said yes.

But in the first few days, I’ve been flogged by flip flops, bludgeoned by gnomes, and discovered a corpse in a suitcase. Then there’s the woman who’s supposed to be training me. She’s…interesting.

Will I survive the training long enough to get the job as an artifact librarian? You might as well ask me if a caterpillar gets manis or pedis. Who knows? But I know one thing for sure. This gig is hard.

I’m going to do my best to succeed. Or die trying.

The Blue Order and the Pendragon Accords kept England safe from the threat of dragon war since the days of Uther Pendragon and Dewi.

Until now.

Bad enough to face a dragon war, but to be the only man able to change its course? Frederick Wentworth faces the unthinkable.

Not what he signed on for when he accepted his title as baronet.

Sir Walter Elliot’s arrival brings a different sort of war to Lyme when he demands his daughter Anne Wentworth resolve his latest crisis. But Anne and dragon Kellynch have far more serious matters to attend to as they discover yet another, unexpected battleground developing in the impending conflict.

Dragons behaving badly hardly describes the atrocities Anne discovers. Can Anne, Wentworth and Kellynch and their dragon Friends navigate a way through uncharted waters to avert a war that could devastate the entire kingdom?

A fresh new gas lamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen’s Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen, a perfect mix for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.

Book 14 in the Jane Austen’s Dragons series.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a dragon.

Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley has the good fortune to be in possession of the first English firedrake egg laid in a century. Or, at least, he was until some miscreant stole it. Mr. Darcy tracks the thief to Hertfordshire. Catching the thief, however, proves to be an entirely different kettle of brimstone, especially when he encounters fellow Dragon Keeper, Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn.

Elizabeth Bennet’s deep connection to dragons and remarkable grasp of their lore make her the ideal companion for finding the egg. It’s too bad that from their introduction she finds Darcy arrogant, conceited, and selfishly disdainful of the feelings of others.

Time is running out for Darcy to win Elizabeth’s trust and recover the precious egg before it hatches, and the fragile peace between humans and dragons is lost forever.

Meryton meets Pern in a fantastical regency romp bound to delight readers of Jane Austen and Anne McCaffrey alike.
