Launch!

Next week, on June 1, 2017, MIRROR AT THE HEART OF TIME will be published by
Chickadee Prince Books. It’s the final chapter of my YA sci-fi series, The Changing Hearts of Ixdahan Daherek, in which:

• A civilization adores a tuberous root
• An Earth girl falls backward in time
• An android yearns for a clueless hero
• A Snaldrialooran races the clock to save his heart
• A multiversal being pines for timeless love
• A thoughtful civil servant sticks her neck out
• A friendly Werg shares the path to enlightenment

… and a college girl vows never to say “normal” again.

The entire series:

• HEART OF EARTH
• HEART OF MYSTERY
• MIRROR AT THE HEART OF TIME

… has received positive mention from Kirkus (“A fabulous read,” “engrossing”), Foreword (“will delight readers of every age”) and Revolution Science Fiction (“Mark Laporta sticks the landing with the conclusion of his trilogy”).

All told, The Changing Hearts of Ixdahan Daherek is an adventure across a wide universe in which love is infinite and friendship is eternal. Discover what a bowl of lime Jell-O, a matched set of alien cookware and an orchestra of Esthusian bone flutes have in common. It’s ready to launch when you are — available now at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and your local bookstore.

"Top 10" Praise for Heart of Earth

Heart of Earth, Book 1 of my series, The Changing Hearts of Ixdahan Daherek (Chickadee Prince Books) is now featured on the Cheap Reads Top 10 List for 2016. I'm thrilled and honored to make the cut.

Tay Laroi writes:

"This is another one that I absolutely love. Between watching Daherek adjust to Earth and his efforts to save the world, this book is a lot of fun. Laporta knows how to craft a story that’s equal parts hilarity, adventure, and heart. I can’t wait to see more of Daherek in the coming years with the continuation of his series."

See for yourself at https://cheapreads.wordpress.com/2016...

Both Heart of Earth and Heart of Mystery are available now at Amazon.com
Book 3, Mirror at the Heart of Time will launch in June and is now available for pre-order.
