Assassin. Cyborg. Avenger.

Stefan Mendoza spent his life doing the government’s dirty work, then a traitor double-crossed his black-ops team.

After enduring unspeakable torture, he has to put dreams of revenge on hold. The world has changed while he’s been out of circulation. To survive, he acquires cybernetic limbs. But his high-tech recovery comes at a heavy price.

The quest for vengeance pits Mendoza against assassins of every stripe. He quickly discovers that relying on the trust he spent decades building could be fatal. Betrayal, corruption, and a labyrinth of conspiracies threaten him at every turn.

The Stefan Mendoza Trilogy is a high-octane cyberpunk techno-thriller you won’t easily forget. Complex conspiracies and intrigue combine to make an immersive, noir-style sci-fi world.
Pick up this series and take a walk on the dark side of justice!

Funny – Charming – Non-Stop Supernatural Trouble…

Charlie, Michael, and Melinda are the last three witches alive in their bloodline.
A werewolf with an over-the-top big brother complex.
An empath who wishes he could stay out of his sibling’s love lives.
And a witch whose job it is to save people she dreams will die, but has a panic attack whenever she has to leave the house…

However, when she has a prophetic dream of Michael’s should-be girlfriend dying, Melinda needs to act fast. But saving their friend means doing one of three things Melinda dreads:
Ask her brothers for help.
Ask the vampire she’s crushing on hard, and who’s off limits, for help.
Or worse, do it herself—but this means doing the hardest thing ever—leaving her house and stepping into the hectic, crowded, no-room-to-breathe tourist trap that is The Demon Isle…

Cold Eyes is an original First Contact novel, written as a tribute to the 1974 science fiction classic, The Mote in God’s Eye, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

The UN warship Magellan is twelve light-years from Earth, exploring a cold eye, a tidally locked super-Earth called Bee. At least two advanced intelligent species evolved on the planet, but the crew’s attempts at radio communication result in garbled replies. No one is waiting for them in orbit. The crew has to figure out why. Any misunderstandings could lead to war.

The FIRST CONTACT series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that this collection is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they’re all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact. Some of the other highly acclaimed novels in this series include Jury Duty, Anomaly, 3zekiel, Losing Mars, Xenophobia, Wherever Seeds May Fall, and Welcome to the Occupied States of America.

In a world of supernaturals, I am something else.

Ascension Day turned Average Joes into spell-casting savants, Plain Janes into glamorous vampires, and the homeless guy at the intersection of Sunset and Santa Monica into the alpha werewolf of Los Angeles. Unfortunately for me, my Ascension was… unique. I was struck by lightning and can’t stop throwing sparks.

For the last fourteen years, hiding has kept me safe from the government, while my uncle’s magic has kept the public safe from me. Now, just when I’ve found some semblance of control over my power, my world turns upside down again. A terrorist organization has kidnapped my dad, thrusting me to the center of an investigation that quickly reveals my anonymity was only an illusion.

Some of the most famous, dangerous supernaturals in the world surround me, and their agendas are as mystifying as my growing powers. My sworn protector is none other than Connor Thorne —  arguably the oldest, most powerful vampire in existence. But even silver linings cast shadows; Connor has more secrets than I do.

My name is Fiona Sullivan, and for better or worse, the world is about to find out exactly who I am.

Ascension is the first installment of a new Urban Fantasy series packed with action, mystery, and romance. Perfect for fans of Kim Harrison, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and Charlaine Harris.
