Switched
by Angela Lam
Genre: Dystopian Cyberpunk SciFi Fantasy
A global phenomenon is rewriting the laws of biology,
causing men over fifty-five and women between eighteen and forty to suddenly
and inexplicably switch their ages and genders. No one understands it, and no
one can stop it.
Maxine thinks she can stay on the sidelines, supporting her brilliant
boyfriend-turned-girlfriend Jo—an audacious biotech pioneer, who’s breaking new
ground with brain-to-brain communication. But when the transformation strikes
Maxine, her reality is flipped upside down.
Now facing an unexpected future, Max must grapple with their identity,
struggling to align who they were with who they have become. Can they reclaim
control over a life that’s no longer theirs, or will they be swept away by the
changes they never asked for?
Angela Lam writes across all genres, from romance (The Women
of the Crush series) to memoir (Red Eggs and Good Luck) to thrillers (No
Amends) and science fiction (Switched). Sometimes, she writes under a pen name
to keep things interesting (The Heroic Adventures of Madame X). The rest of the
time, she is busy exploring mixed-media art and teaching others what she knows.

or an angel? Should he hide himself to live his life?

The Monsters Among Us
A viscerally cinematic and genre-defying fantasy/horror
novel.
The Monsters Among Us
The Abyss Borne Gods Book 1
by Kent Priore
Genre: Dark Fantasy, Horror
“Kent Priore
writes like a natural about the supernatural, and The Monsters Among
Us is a marvelously dark and true novel. American fiction has found a
terrific new voice.”
—Joseph O’Neill, PEN/Faulkner Award-Winning Author of Netherland
Seth’s life until now has been a product of a diabolical, evil Truman Show, his
entire upbringing a façade orchestrated for malevolent purposes. After his
beloved dies, he undergoes a demonic metamorphosis, which causes the world’s
fictitious walls to crumble.
As he tries to piece a semblance of his life back together and move on, he
meets friends who inspire, but even more harsh truths are revealed, perhaps too
difficult to cope with.
The very existence of life and reality is exposed as a machination of grotesque
gods. And to defeat them, Seth will have to fill his emptiness, for which
there’s only two options…
Bring the world to ruin, or learn to transmute his pain into strength.
Fans of “Jerusalem” by Alan Moore, “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath,
or “The Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakovor will enjoy “The Monsters
Among Us.”
“I was intrigued from the first
sentence, determined to spend the night speed-reading so I didn’t have to
remain in suspense any longer.”
-Ella Dupuie, author of Fractures
of the Fallen
“Supernatural storytelling at its best, this vivid cinematic novel takes the
reader on an imaginative journey through what could be considered end of
days. The Monster’s Among Us is a masterful creation and a
must read—even for those who aren’t fans of fantasy/horror.”
—Joni Marie Iraci MFA author of Vatican Daughter

Graduated from Bard College with a BA in the Written Arts,
Kent Priore is an author of dark literature, genre-blending epics and
vignettes, where dark romanticism meets modern psychology for a macabre but
hopeful depiction of inner struggle and the human ability to endure, and
perhaps even prevail. He has a fascination with humanity and is one of the few
to believe that despite our many weaknesses, we are far stronger than we often
think. He wishes to show that strength to those darker individuals, burdened by
lonesomeness, poor mental health, and other forces perceived to be out of their
control, as well as show them that all is not lost.

A gripping supernatural thriller where the house always
wins—unless you’re willing to burn it all down.
When Lilith Umbra flees Las Vegas for a fresh start at the
Golden Sands Casino in Atlantic City, she thinks she’s escaping her tragic
past. But some fates can’t be outrun.

sounds, impossible shadows, and visions that feel disturbingly real. Local
journalist Sharp insists the building is cursed, while her charismatic boss
Amon dismisses such claims as nonsense.
But when Lilith uncovers a mysterious book detailing the
rituals of a powerful occult organization, she realizes the truth is far more
sinister than any ghost story.
As ancient prophecies collide with modern ambition, Lilith
discovers she hasn’t stumbled into evil’s path—she’s been guided there. With
allies who may be enemies and time running out, she faces an impossible choice
that will determine not just her fate, but the fate of humanity itself.
Perfect for fans of supernatural thrillers who love
unreliable narrators, shocking twists, and stories where nothing is as it
seems.
Some games are rigged from the start. But sometimes, the
only way to win is to change the rules entirely.

The Intrigue of
Magic Book 1
A world ruled by
magic. A palace full of secrets. A girl who refuses to back down.
Seventeen-year-old Alice Harper had her future mapped out—win an archery
scholarship, protect her friends, and stay in control. But when a portal hurls
her into a kingdom where magic rules and obedience means survival, she lands in
a palace gripped by fear—and under the eye of the most powerful man in the realm.
The Royal Mage doesn’t just control the court—he controls people. With power,
with fear, with enchantments no one dares resist. And for reasons Alice can’t
explain, he’s taken a disturbing interest in her.
The only person who seems to want to help is the prince. He’s charming,
clever—and very possibly lying. Caught between dangerous truths and beautiful
deceits, Alice must decide who to trust before her friends are lost forever.
She’s not afraid of a fight. But in a world where magic is control, and trust
is the most dangerous choice of all, surviving will take more than arrows—it
