Charleston Lim | 1 comments Hey, I just published my first book called The Alcuin Rift

What happens when humanity's curiosity collides with a vast, unknowable intelligence? In The Alcuin Rift, Dr. Elena Kade's groundbreaking experiment in quantum reality draws the attention of something far beyond our comprehension.

As causality unravels and existence teeters on the brink, Kade faces a race against time to communicate with the incomprehensible and save not just humanity, but the universe itself.

This book explores exciting concepts such as quantum mechanics, nonlinear time, extra dimensions, and intricacies of first contact with something truly alien.

Writing this story was an exhilarating challenge. These characters and this universe have lived in my mind for so long—I had to set them free. The Alcuin Rift is my debut novel, and while I’m still honing my craft, this book is a labor of love. I poured my passion for science, exploration, and the mysteries of the unknown into every page.

If you're a fan of thought-provoking science fiction or love exploring humanity's place in the cosmos, I'm inviting you to consider diving into my book.

Tori Ashlyn | 3 comments Hello!!!
I recommend my book if you're interested. Ascension: The Kingdom Series

It's a Christian Paranormal Romance novel about characters who are not perfect but real. They have struggles just like real people. Here is a glimpse of what it's about:

Nora Kelley

I am in love with Caleb Fisher, my best friend’s older brother. It hasn’t always been this way, but my feelings for him continue to grow stronger as I spend more time around him. I can’t ignore the warm hum that calls to my body when he enters the room. I yearn for his touch...his kiss, but he doesn’t feel the same. If only I were normal, maybe things would be different between us, but I see things that others can’t see—the ugly creatures seeking those they can devour.

As my twenty-fifth birthday approaches, my life becomes more complicated. Secrets start to be revealed, and I discover I belong to an elite group. I am a Chosen One, and I have a guardian angel, Uriel, sent to protect and train me as I ascend into a power I need help controlling. Suddenly, I am thrown into the midst of battles, fighting the creatures I’ve been afraid of all my life. While coming face-to-face with my enemy, I am threatened with a hard decision...save a loved one and live in eternal damnation, or lose a loved one and live in glory for all eternity.

It's available as a Kindle ebook, Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback.

If you choose to read it, please leave a review.

Thanks in advance!

Kemma MarShall | 9 comments Hymns of Blue Hollow 1940s Southern Historical Romance Novel by Kemma MarShall Kemma MarShall 🌿 Hey y’all, I’m Kemma MarShall, author of Hymns of Blue Hollow! 🌿

I just wanted to take a moment to thank every single one of you who has shared, talked about, or even just taken the time to check out my book. Being an indie author means every bit of support truly matters, and I see y’all. I appreciate y’all.

This story is so close to my heart, and knowing it's finding its way into the hands of readers means the world. If you’ve read it, let me know your thoughts! And if you haven’t yet, well… I hope you’ll take a trip to Blue Hollow real soon.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for believing in this story. 💙

The Hills of Blue Hollow series invites readers into the raw and evocative world of Appalachia during the 1940s, exploring stories of resilience, survival, and hope. In the first installment, Hymns of Blue Hollow, Esther Primm fights to escape the harsh grip of her past, chained to a life of hardship and moonshining under her grandmother's control. As she faces threats from her cousin, Preacher Clive, Esther finds an unexpected glimmer of hope in Ian Huggler, a German man with a haunted past of his own.

Coming soon, Book 2 will delve deeper into Esther's haunting past, as she confronts the ghosts that have long shadowed her life. Faced with new challenges that threaten to unravel her fragile sense of control, Esther must navigate the hidden truths that will reshape her journey. This installment will uncover the untold chapters of Book 1, providing richer insights into her struggles, resilience, and the battles she has yet to face.

Child of Ra: A Fantasy Novel of Ancient Egypt, Book 1

Hi!! I'm new to Goodreads so I'm still kind of figuring it out lol, but i have a slow burn fantasy trilogy set in ancient Egypt. I'll put the description below 😊😊

Description:

Abandoned in Egypt as a child, Saphira has given up on fitting in and has accepted her life as a thief, but the gods have other plans. Not only does she get dragged into the crown prince’s struggle for the throne, she soon finds herself in the center of a prophecy to save the world.

Armed with powers from the gods but no idea how to use them, she and her friends must defeat the gods of chaos before it is too late. For if they do not, neither this world nor the afterlife will remain.

* Powers from the gods
* Slow burn romance
* A plot on the sun god’s life
* A prophecy with the fate of the world at stake
* Mythology
* Political intrigue
* Battles against the gods of chaos
* Prince vs pharaoh
* Strong female lead
* Character driven

Me too, me too! I have a book.
The Orange Curse by Kristina Kamaeva

The Orange Curse is a fantasy adventure novel inspired by Italian folktales. The main characters are children (11 and 9 years old), but many adult readers enjoyed this fairy tale for its imaginative plot and positive life philosophy. It reads like a classic, but it's fast-paced.
Hope you'll give it a try!

Hailee Carmel (hailee-carmel) | 3 comments Hi Mary, thanks for supporting indie authors. I just published my first book Throne Off Course: A Royal RomCom Enemies to Lovers Romance It a royal romance but it has some drama and emotional weight to it, it's not just a sweet fluffy read.

This is the official blurb: He’s an ice-cold prince with a duty complex. She’s a historian with a talent for making royals uncomfortable. Their mutual loathing is going just fine—until they realize falling for each other might be inevitable.

Prince Alexander of Caledonia has spent his life being exceedingly proper. He upholds tradition, keeps his emotions locked away, and definitely does not enjoy working with a certain aggravating historian.

Emilia Carter does not care about royal protocol. She cares about facts—especially the ones the monarchy would rather keep buried. Hired to research a royal exhibition, she arrives armed with historical accuracy, a podcast that’s mildly slanderous, and zero patience for Alexander’s stuffy, control-freak tendencies.

Their interactions? A disaster. He’s too rigid. She’s too reckless. Their debates could qualify as a contact sport. And yet, no matter how hard Alexander tries to keep his distance, Emilia keeps pulling him into arguments he should ignore—and emotions he definitely shouldn’t be feeling.

Witty, sharp, and royally irresistible, Throne Off Course is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers rom-com filled with scandalous history, reluctant attraction, and one very inconvenient romance that could change the monarchy forever.
