New Release – Otherworlds Imprint – Orphans of Sturnus

Orphans of Sturnus

by Harold R. Thompson

Orphans of Sturnus by Harold R. Thompson

Nothing they’ve told us is true.

They are the last survivors of the settlers of the moon Sturnus, forty children rescued by the benevolent people of the planet Janus.

Except Bear is starting to remember, and what he remembers is nothing like what he and the others have been told. Then, from nowhere, a glowing girl appears only he can see; and Bear begins to discover he has very special abilities.

So, what really did happen to the people of Sturnus, and what is Bear supposed to do when the people he’s told are his rescuers may in fact be the people who destroyed his world?

Ender’s Game meets the Singularity in an exciting story of self-discovery and courage.

“Thompson’s compelling SF tale follows Bear’s harrowing quest to find the truth about what really happened in Sturnus…Thoughtful and engaging science fiction.” — Kirkus Reviews

New Release – Embraces Imprint – Tall Tales of Mystic Ridge

Tall Tales of Mystic Ridge

by Shelly Gail Morris

Tall Tales of Mystic Ridge

 

How tall can tales be?

Mystic Ridge is a small town set deep in the mountains of Tennessee. The townsfolk go out of their way to embrace everyone with cookies, kittens and a warm welcome. They enjoy nothing more than setting folks properly on their destined path.

You’ll meet Violet and her invisible friend Winifred, who lived on the open prairie in the eighteen hundreds. Although she’s just a ghost, she longs for a second chance at life. Millie owns the local antique shop and assists folks in finding items they misplaced centuries earlier. Unbeknownst to her mother, four-year-old Ruby gives life and death advice.

Poovie Lamay is the local social media mogul and supermom with a huge appreciation for life. She tweets and blogs and sells her musing to outlets worldwide and lives a ridiculously happy life—as long as it can be from her own home.

Intuitive Mariah and Daisy Gilbert are excited as new residents to Mystic Ridge, and swiftly learn they were brought there to assist a needy nun with an odd problem.

You’ll meet Josephine Even who has a backyard full of ghosts from the civil war, each one requesting unique assistance. And of course, Mystic Ridge’s most famous resident is Sister Crystal Grace who was lost in the mountainside for many weeks as a child. As a pillar of the community, no one knows she’s been gallivanting through time and now yearns to leave Mystic Ridge forever.

And amidst all the unusual occurrences, almost all of the cats and kittens born in Mystic Ridge are solid white and occasionally heroic.

New Release – Embraces Imprint – Strange Magic

Strange Magic

by Linda Andrews

Strange Magic by Linda Andrews

Love is its own magic.

Dazzler Spitfire is an elf on a mission. She has until Christmas to pull herself together, keep her magic, and her life. She heads to Holly, a town devoted to Christmas and home to her best friend. Together, they craft a plan to stay one step ahead of those wanting to bring her in front of the North Pole Review Board for trial.

Todd Dugan knows magic only works for others. His divorce from Dazzler’s cousin proves it. He’s fine tending to the reindeer for the western leg of Santa’s midnight ride. When he agrees to chair the holiday committee in Holly, he’ll prove human technology is just as good as magic.

Neither counts on the Dugan family curse: When a Dugan meets his mate, the lights in Holly will fall dark.

On the eve of Thanksgiving, the town’s mayor demands a demonstration to prove the Christmas decorations are behaving as they should. The tech works until Dazzler shows up, bringing his ex-wife with her. Now the town is determined to reunite Todd and his ex-wife.

But Todd’s thoughts are on Dazzler. A single kiss decides his fate. Dazzler sets out to seduce him. Is he willing to risk their friendship for something more? His heart makes the choice for him. For a brief moment, he has it all—friendship, love, and magic. Then Dazzler loses her magical abilities and gets sick. Worse, in a freak sleigh accident, Dazzler reduces the town’s Christmas displays to ash and cinders.

Christmas is ruined.

And the town is demanding action.

Eyes of Lorr

Eyes of Lorr by Roberta Rogow

There are too many eyes on the prize.

It was a simple job—find the naive outlander’s lost journal, lost during a liaison with a local “joyboy”. It sounded liked her client was even more worried about the way he lost his book than he was about the book.

But then the joyboy winds up dead, followed shortly thereafter by her client; and it’s clear she’s not the only one who wants that missing book. Worse, whoever it is, is prepared to kill her to make sure she doesn’t find it.

Pola’s a loner, but this time it’s clear she needs help—if only to make sure no one’s sneaking up behind her with murderous intent.

A Quilt of a Different Color

by Arlene Sachitano

A Quilt of a Different Color by Arlene Sachitano

 

They all want a disabled lecherous riding teacher dead.

The new year is unusually cold in Foggy Point, Washington. As a result, the new manager of the equestrian center asks Harriet Truman and her quilt group The Loose Threads to make a special type of saddle blanket designed to keep a horse’s kidneys warm while they are ridden in the cold.

As Harriet and Jenny’s foster kids board their horses there, the Threads agree. They soon find themselves getting more involved at the stable, volunteering for the equine therapy program the local homeless veterans participate in.

The quilters quickly discover that the disabled husband of the new stable manager, Simon, not only teaches young women to ride, he gropes them every chance he gets.

The local homeless veterans are invited to participate in a horse therapy program at the stable, and the quilters volunteer to help. It quickly becomes clear that one of the veterans has a past history with Simon, and it isn’t a good one.

Tension at the stables rises as Simon’s behavior continues to offend. Harriet and the Threads decide to spend more time observing riding classes, preventing Simon from having time alone with the female students. Their guard duty comes to an end almost before it begins when someone puts a more permanent end to Simon’s bad behavior.

More than one person had reason to wish him dead, but who did the deed?
