J.M. Carmel Contrivance
YA Sci-fi, Space Opera, Coming of Age, Espionage

Dae-ho told her monsters hid among the people of the northeastern Mediterranean Sea who lay sleeping on deck two. It isn't just Dae-ho; Soo-min grew up hearing others tell stories about the people augmented in the labs to possess unimaginable power before the Earth entered its death spiral. When people fled Earth, governments agreed to leave the augmented humans behind. But, the Augments made other plans.

With its solar storms, the refugees knew planet Palaemon would be difficult to colonize but the rewards were worth the risks. The scientists said Palaemon was void of all higher-order life forms, and colonizing the planet would do no harm. They were wrong. After generations of silence, creatures emerge from deep within the underwater canyons to torment everything in the oceans. Why now?

When the Director of Palace Guards and Guardians of the Arkivian palace falls in one of the creature’s attacks, the newly appointed Drewitt J. Ditka finds himself in a growing tangle of lies and deceit. He knew the palace was full of secrets. He just didn’t know the young Princess Patrina would be one of them.

Now, Princess Patrina must save her kingdom from the resource-hungry rival, Eastern Arkivia, and Director Ditka must fight to save the princess.

This edition includes questions for book clubs and a brief Q and A with the author.


Hello, I am introducing my new book Contrivance. It will be available through Amazon on Kindle, paperback, and hardback on April 10, 2023.

This edition is being published with book club leaders and teachers in mind. I have included chapter-by-chapter discussion questions in part four of the book to make guiding your group easy. Pick and choose the questions that are best for your group.

You can see a sample of Contrivance on Book2Look.

Sebastian Hastler (sebastian_hastler) | 3 comments Hi everyone!

I'm excited to share with you my newly self-published book "Hemlet and the Daedicar's Amulet". It's a YA fantasy novel about two 13-year-old friends who discover a powerful amulet with incredible abilities, but their newfound powers also put them in grave danger as they are pursued by the Draconic Army of Maligheth.

I poured my heart and soul into this book and I'm thrilled to finally share it with the world. As a self-published author, I would love your support in helping to spread the word about my book. If you're a fan of fantasy, adventure, and stories of friendship, then "Hemlet and the Daedicar's Amulet" is for you.

Thank you for your time, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on my book.

Abby Alison | 3 comments Hey everyone, check out my YA dystopian book called robot boy!

https://www.amazon.com/author/abbyali...

Aurora Borealis. The most wanted girl in all of Zaria.

Her father, Khios Borealis. The most wealthiest man in all of Planet Existence. His wealth is what every living breathing con artist would kidnap or kill to get their hands on…and Aurora is his Heiress.

However Aurora’s the most wanted girl, and also the hardest to reach. Guards...all the latest technologies…and Neon Xenon.

Aurora isn’t sure if Xenon's a young man, or actually a Humanoid Robot. He does his job more than extremely well, has more medals than she can count, - but she’s never seen him eat, drink, sleep, or laugh.

She calls him Robot Boy. His mind resembles a Flatscreen computer. She’s never met someone who intrigues and infuriates her more.

But as sole heir to all her father’s riches and assets, Aurora’s expected to have an heir of her own, and her father’s encouraging her to accept a suitable match...which is a problem, since none of them interest her. And it has absolutely nothing to do with Robot Boy.

Nothing. She’s sure of it. Nothing. She’s sure of it.

Kind of.

Nevertheless, with something sinister going on in the background of her planet, she comes to realize an enigmatic guard might just be the least of all her problems...

Kathleen Patrick Hello! My name is Kathleen Patrick and my first coming-of-age novel, Mercy, was published this spring. Mercy is a story about compassion and kindness. It celebrates the idea families can come in all shapes and sizes and consists of people who support one another, even when it isn’t easy. It is a story that reverberates with the basic human need to be loved.
When Sadie was twelve years old, her mother got an itch for gambling, and she scratched it more often than she should have Often forced to parent herself, Sadie’s life is full of empty promises and big responsibilities. The book opens when Alice and her boyfriend drop off Sadie at her uncle’s farm in South Dakota so they can go south to look for work and a new place to live. Sadie meets her Uncle Charlie for the first time, a reclusive Vietnam vet who raises and boards horses. Faced with the very real possibility that her mother isn’t going to come back, Sadie and Charlie discover that family can come in all shapes and sizes. Mercy is a coming-of-age story that reverberates with the basic human need to be loved.
I hope you will take a look at the preview of this story and see if it is for you. There are also reviews here on Goodreads. Thanks for your time! I look forward to being a part of this group. https://a.co/2DWH9sr

Barbara Aragona (bastah) | 2 comments My first book called "My poisoned life with you" is available on amazon as kindle or paperback.
I just would like to give it a chance as it seems quite unlucky.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Poisoned-Lif...

When she first saw him, Francesca was just eleven years old. Too young, too naive, too far away, she had nothing to let her be close to him.
He was famous and rich, travelling the world and never stopping, he basically lived in her dreams. The idea of this story is that dreams do come true, and we will see them growing and be the best. A story through twenty years of fantastic adventures, conflicts and romantic situations.
This is the story of how a little girl got the chance to ask to be loved by the most impossible person ever and he answered yes.

Roderick Seelal | 9 comments THE HOUSE OF EEDIOONEE: A DARKNESS IN CHESTER
Hi Everyone,
My name is Roderick Seelal, and I am a first-time published Author through Amazon KDP. My book's name is The House of Eedioonee: A Darkness in Chester and is in the ebook format and available through Amazon at only USD 2.99. It is in the Syfy, Mystery, Thriller, Suspense Young Adult genre.
Here is a description:
The most prominent and notable family in Chester fled the town in a hurry desperately trying to escape their dreaded fate. They could not deny the evil that plagued their beloved town and lives anymore. For too long they kept it a well-guarded secret. But it was also for too long that they had to live in crippling fear and devastating horror knowing that their lives could be ripped apart at any moment. Yet, they fled like thieves in the night carrying their secret with them leaving the rest of Chester unknowingly at the mercy of the evil that lurked in the darkness.
The one man who knew that something was dreadfully wrong with his peaceful agricultural town apart from the revered Langley Family; was the one man no one could believe. He was Jeb McCabe and he was the town’s old drunk. But Jeb believed he saw things; evil, terrifying things that defied explanations. He saw strange lights in the sky, monstrous bats sucking the life out of people and hearing the most fearsome shrieks and growls. But was it all hallucinations due to Jeb’s drunken stupor or was it all too real.
However, Jeb had an unlikely ally, Seventeen-year-old, Megan Keller, the most popular girl in town. Megan had her own reasons for believing Jeb and was in a quest to uncover the truth. But Megan was not prepared for what she discovered. The devastation went far beyond Chester. Yet, amongst the very strangeness may lie Chester and its people hope and salvation.
I hope you guys check out my book and I live up to your expectations. Thanks.

Two of her three teammates, the student council Vice President and the stand-out football star, just got out of a messy relationship. Her third teammate, a kind but mysterious brainiac, seems to be hiding more secrets than the Pentagon. Abigail must deal with the turmoil amongst her teammates while somehow balancing her own family drama.

When the group decides to create a hot air-balloon for the assignment, the classmates are faced with the ultimate challenge. Will it implode like all of Abigail's relationships or will it finally get off the ground?

Dannis Cole (danniscole) | 7 comments Hi! Here's a link to my latest book, Adia, Scientist.
I have two more in editing and hope to release Molly's Miracle Colonies maybe by Christmas! The sequel Adia, One Of Prophecy will be out after this one, sometimes in 2024.

Doomed scientist strives to discover a new fuel as War moves closer, but her experiment explodes. Adia realizes how vital her work is, and who threatens it, when a visiting scientist saves her life.

Book. 140 pp. ii-xv, 171 pp. With Appendix. Second Edition. 81396 Words. Novel. Rated PG for scenes with violence.

A holo showed what happened. Prog One records all incidents. Takes holos from every person's angle and combines them into one. Director Pragate and Security surely see it now. The holo clearly showed my hands going too far into the dimportal.

If I had spoken all the coords and waited for verification, as procedures demanded, the explosion would have happened here, in the lab.

A simulation predicted the 1000x field would not have contained it. Flagged an error in the 1000x code. Sent the sim to Safety. Safety Section made an error? That is how my hands slipped into the portal?

“Age must have weakened the containment field generator. Infoserver." Vonn said, "Help Adia. Medical databases."

"Infoserver malfunction. Databases not found."

We stared at each other. "That is not possible."

Derees waved. "Access medical databases."

"Databases not found."

Tingling grew to pain! Close contact to an explosion was unheard of in the five years of the Eicken Project's existence. Medical databases were requested very infrequently.

Regen will save me, will it? Pain took my breath. Will I set off the ED's? Sight faded.

“We need a healer! Is there one in the Director’s Office?”

“A healer? No, we do not employ them except in Eicken Hospital. You must take an injured person there—”

“I will not take my colleague in that place!” Derees slashed the holo off!

“My trade bal—is not—enough—” My voice whispered.

Vonn held onto me. “Derees, try to contact Kleideu for a healer! I have trade, Adia. We must—” He startled, as my arms dropped.

Footsteps. Sudden impact. I stared down at medium-blue boots. Felt warmth, at my wrists. With it, strength. Twin fingers held my wrists and swelling vanished from my hands. I reached for them as my eyes found his.

Golden eyes opened impossibly wide. That round face smiled at me. “Does my healing help you?”

Calm penetrated me. Heard the singing, in my mind. Pragate became ill after he introduced the Zheien. That singing I heard as he healed him.

"What did you do?" Derees gasped. Touched my fingers. My red skin showed no sign of injury. Strength returned to my wilting body. Redness left, and with it, pain.

"Thank you." What to say? Heat crept into my face! Oh, my heart pounded even more! Surely an ED will alarm!

Ryonne~ moved a hand to my shoulder. Warmth. I sat upright in the chair. "Is Zheien healing."

Vonn smiled and let go of my shoulders. Looked at our visitor.

His orange skin paled as calm slowed my breathing more. "Are you well?"

"Other than losing two weeks of work, yes, I am well." I smiled, and so did he. Still expected the DF to come. Worked harder to control my breathing. Sleep pulled at my eyelids. Warmth from his hand stopped. The touch of his twin fingers, the nearness of him—does it show, how he affects me?

The two security men watched us. One came to Ryonne~. The other walked to Vonn. Am I in trouble?

"Ambassador, now that we had our little excitement, let us find the ANW lab." One of the two men in black Eicken Security uniform pulled at his arm.

The other asked Vonn questions about what happened. Vonn brought up a holo of Safety's Department Leader, Leherr Firs.

"But, excuse me, this is the ANW lab.” Citsa pointed with a scowl at my charred and melted workspace.

Adia, Scientist

Lauren Evers (laurenevers) | 1 comments Posting as a new author. I'd love to send an early copy book to any paranormal fiction readers in exchange for a review. Let me know if anyone would be interested!

A GOD CANNOT REMAIN TRAPPED. NOT FOREVER.

No one knows what Aris really is. He came to this world three years ago and was stopped just before he managed to destroy it. But he wasn’t exactly stopped, more like locked away. Inside of a person.

Mary was a regular girl before she became the host of a homicidal entity. Though powerless and nothing more than a voice in the back of her head, his presence changed everything for her. Now imprisoned and shunned, she’s learned to cohabitate and converses with Aris to stay sane. They read books, watch movies, and she listens to his plans for world domination. Maybe they've even become something like... friends? As the years pass, she's come to accept that this is all her life will ever be. Until, one day, the amulet keeping Aris inside of Mary begins to malfunction.

With the threat of his escape imminent, faced with the possibility of having a real life again, Mary starts to fight for freedom... forgetting all the while that Aris might have become a little too attached during their time together.

With cults, magic, and gods, Possession tells the story of a girl desperate for her own life, and a god, more interested in keeping her trapped in his own.

The Galactic Island by Parish V Damone

THE GALACTIC ISLAND (TGI) is the fulfillment of a two decades long promise I made to my daughter Brittney during one of our visits in the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. She was just 14 years old at the time and I was entering my third year of incarceration after being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison. I asked her, among other things, what kind of books she enjoyed reading and her answer surprised me. Not the part about fantasy being her favorite genre, but the part where she mentioned there weren't any characters who looked like her in the books she read... the year was 2004.

That same afternoon I promised my daughter I would write her an adventurous tale and that the main character on the cover of the book would look exactly like her. Little did I know that it would prove to be one of the most challenging things I would ever set out to do. The extent of my experience as a writer back then mostly involved essays and articles about the need for prison reform. When it came to writing fiction I had no idea where to begin. It took me nearly three months to read an average sized fantasy novel because I kept getting frustrated with trying to figure out all the weird names and terminology the author was using. It seemed beyond ridiculous that an adult would talk that way. For Brittney's sake, I immersed myself in all sorts of fanciful stories about wizards and flying serpents and elves and talking animals until one day, my desire to create a magical world tailored to my daughter's taste for adventure could no longer be contained. Thus, The Galactic Island was born.

TGI is no ordinary book of fantasy. It is a meticulously crafted ‘’treasure map'’ that was twenty years in the making; a unique tale the likes of which the world has never seen. The book features a hieroglyphic chart called the Key of Adwah—the only tool in the entire universe which can decipher the hidden messages within the story. There is also a list of secret clues buried in the text of TGI, clues that unravel a mystery so grand that there is now talk amongst my team of launching a global contest in search of readers who can crack the code and discover the real story the book actually tells. The winners of said contest will be given the option to claim their ''riches'' in one of two ways: gifts and prizes or providing the name of a main character in the next installment of the TGI series and receiving a percentage of the royalties from that particular book. As soon as the contest website becomes available, I will post the link right here so that everyone can join the quest to solve the mystery of TGI. In the meantime, read the synopsis on Amazon and then get ready for one helluva ride! (eBook edition of TGI will be available soon!)

Laura | 2 comments The Warmth of Ashes

Hi all, just published my YA science fantasy novel The Warmth of Ashes on Kindle! Hope you enjoy!

A heartless mother who can control the wind. A lethal military commander who breaks his boyfriend’s heart to save his life. A princess willing to throw everything away for her snarky body double. Blind and bookish 17-year-old Maka isn’t the reason all their stories intertwine, but she may be the reason all their stories end.

The island of Ensom is dominated by a volcano that triggers incredible powers or terrible illness — and an eruption in 2007 changes everything. Born blind, Maka Garrett can pull energy from books and use it to manipulate other people's emotions. When she is sent to the Royal Institute to hone her ability, her cold mother suddenly turns warm and asks Maka help her gain access to the Core, a mysterious machine hidden beneath the school.

Desperate to regain her mother's love, which vanished after the eruption, Maka agrees, unaware that she's setting off a chain of events that will threaten the lives of everyone on the island. Between pissing off the princess and losing her virginity, Maka starts to unravel a secret that the monarchy and the military would kill to keep hidden — and that her mother would kill to reveal.

The Warmth of Ashes is the first of a trilogy that will appeal to fans of Kamilah Cole’s So Let Them Burn and Bridget Collins’s The Binding.

Camryn Lingen | 2 comments Nowhere by Camryn Van Lingen

Hello! My name is Camryn and I'm a second-year high school teacher who just published her first novel, Nowhere. It's a YA Sci-Fi Dystopian Romance with elements of faith intertwined.

It was fun to write and accomplish a childhood dream and I'm excited to share it with the world. If you're able to check it out, please consider leaving a review.

Here's the synopsis:

A harsh reality, a hidden past, a truth that changes everything.

In the aftermath of a crumbling economy, tech-savvy Naya dreams of a better future for herself and her 12-year-old sister, Harper. But when a traumatic experience threatens to shatter the foundation of her faith, Naya must put her dreams on hold.

Atlas, a mysterious young man haunted by missing memories, is searching for answers. His journey leads him to Naya, and they form an unexpected connection that defies explanation. Drawn to Atlas’s magnetic charm, Naya finds purpose in helping him search for the truth.

As they delve deeper into his past, they uncover startling revelations that threaten to upend everything they thought they knew. With each discovery, the fragile fabric of their society begins to unravel, revealing hidden truths and buried secrets.

Gripping, suspenseful, and emotionally charged, Nowhere explores the resilience of the human spirit amidst the shadows of a dystopian reality.

Kenneth | 6 comments The Last Streamers of Confetti on New Year's Eve (Following Forever Book 2) by Kenneth Fecteau
Kinihood Publishing is pleased to release the second book in their Following Forever Series for young and new adult readers. Book one is titled "There's No Such Thing as Never in Forever" and newly released book two is "The Last Streamers of Confetti on New Year's Eve." The Following Forever Series by Kenneth and Judy Nichols Fecteau is an action packed, young adult/new adult fantasy series that follows the present and past lives of the four teen members of the rock band, The Mols.

In book one of the series, "There’s No Such Thing as Never in Forever," the four friends are adopted into The Mistook Native American Tribe. Under the guidance of Rosethorn, Shaman of the tribe, they go on a vision quest during which they must navigate their way through time to retrieve an ancient talisman, lost centuries ago by the tribe.

In book two, "The Last Streamers of Confetti on New Year's Eve," the teens realize that their vision quest is not over. Mandy and Lizzy are assigned to write a newspaper article about the Manchester Castle Hotel's upcoming one hundredth anniversary celebration set for New Year’s Day. They are aware of the hotel’s reputation for paranormal occurrences. It isn’t until their first night’s stay that they have “dreams” that lead them to believe that they are actually experiencing past lives in 1928 New Orleans. As they merge into their past-life incarnations, they find themselves crawling across rooftops by night, as gang-fighting vigilantes, and writing for the New Orleans Nitpicker newspaper by day. Along with their friends, they make a plan to rid the French Quarter of the gang that is bringing violence, death and destruction to the city. When the plans are set into action, danger and death become reality. It is only when the last streamers of confetti fall on New Year’s Eve, that present and past life relationships merge.

Readers of Young Adult, New Adult or Adult Fantasy Fiction will love this imaginative series full of action, romance, humor and page turning suspense.

C.A. Gordon (cagordon_author) | 2 comments Teen Justice Justice Has a Curfew—Book One by C.A. Gordon

Greetings! My name is Cameron “C.A.” Gordon, and it is my pleasure to introduce myself and my debut novel, TEEN JUSTICE: Justice Has a Curfew—Book One. YA sci-fi/fantasy novel is the first entry in the TEEN JUSTICE series.

Curfew—Book One introduces readers to a group of teenagers as they battle the chaos of adolescence while recovering from a man-made crisis that has endowed them and half the population of their city with not-so-superpowers. As the teens learn to harness their new abilities, they form an inseparable bond, embark on a journey to discover the truth of their origin, and redefine what it means to be heroes . . . and a family. Their story seamlessly blends action with the classic elements of young adult drama, romance, and humor, all wrapped up in a veneer of escapist fantasy. These kids aren’t trying to save the world—they just want to avoid being grounded.

I believe this story will appeal to both young adult and adult fans of strong characters and expansive worlds such as those found in series like The Hunger Games, Divergent, and especially the DC and Marvel superhero universes.

You can find all the info for the entire TEEN JUSTICE series on my website, cagordonauthor.wixsite.com/welcome. Hope you enjoy it!

(P.S.: Curfew--Book Two will be here VERY soon . . .)

Lita Marson | 8 comments "Ice girl Karen" is fantasy young-adult romance book about love, magic, witches and even genies.

Karen is a teenager and lives in an orphanage. Adoptive family chooses her and takes her home. Marcus and Lilian took an instant dislike of a new girl. But Karen is the most scared of her new mother, who is very strange person. Someday Karen discovers that actually Marcus is in love with her. But she does not have any positive emotions, she is aloof and cold person. What will happen to this unusual couple? And what they will do when they will uncover the truth about their family?

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4HNN55M

Little fragment:
"During my short life, I learned a couple of important lessons, one of which was that no one does anything just like that, without a reason. Every action, every word, even every thought has its own reason. It’s not that I didn’t believe in selflessness or that I never met kind people; rather, on the contrary. For example, the teachers in our orphanage had a low salary, but continued to work and took care of us as best they could. But even they had their reasons for doing this. I was not particularly interested in what exactly motivates them, but I was firmly convinced that nothing happens for nothing."

Pamela Cox Tales of Habib the Hoaxter: Sometimes Hoaxed, Always Good for a Laugh
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV9VZH1Z
Hello! Here is a collection of 30 witty stories about Habib, an Arab folk hero who has appeared under many names for hundreds of years. Each tale contains a twist, written to make you smile or laugh aloud with delight.

A light touch, a flexible mind, and a bit of a perverse sense of humor are your tickets into this exotic, timeless world. It's a world of fun for the moment and giving better than you got, not of heavy psychology and serious moralizing. In this world of marvels and belief in marvels, whether the little guy wins or loses depends on how well he uses his wits.

Sometimes cunning, sometimes credulous, Habib has a unique way of thinking that will enable you to see life in a new, wonder-filled way. Many of the stories convey moral lessons, while others offer pure amusement, bringing laughter either at Habib's cleverness or at his lack thereof.

Be prepared for an entrancing journey into "one day," an adventure that will transport you far from your everyday life and sensibility, returning you to them with refreshed eyes and a lighter step.
