About Featured Book: Pattern Black by Sean Platt

(Pattern Black will be free from 1/28/2021 through 12/15/2022)

A city-sized prison with little oversight and a snitch economy is the worst place for an ex-cop. Especially one who is losing his mind.

Once a respected police officer, Mason Shaw’s father threw away his career by going rogue and landing himself in Revival’s privately-run prison, HRO22.

Now Mason is following in his father’s footsteps — he’s an inmate with no hope of parole and only two ways out: Chamber Therapy or a body bag.

Chamber Therapy promises the miracle of criminal rehabilitation, curing prisoners of their criminal tendencies. But the flip-side of Chamber Therapy’s success is its ultimate failure: Pattern Black — the total disintegration of identity that drives the prisoner insane.

Worse, Revival seems to be hiding what happens to the prisoners once they go Pattern Black.

As Mason makes his way through his new reality, a mysterious Preacher seems to haunt his every move. His only hope is Immunity, a rebel group led by a hacker named Calliope, who’s trying to fight the system from inside.

Can Mason find the truth — and expose the dark secret behind Chamber Therapy — before Revival finds a way to shut him up forever?

It’s Escape from New York meets The Matrix in this fast-paced, heart-pounding SciFi thriller by best-selling authors Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt.

Dragons of Introvertia by James and Bit Barringer

Introvertia is – get ready for this – a kingdom full of introverts. People there enjoy reading, spending time at home or with one or two friends, and eating good food; you know how it goes. Small talk is explicitly banned in the constitution and no one will mind if you spend the entire day in the Reading Square with a good book. I bet you’d love it there.

Fifteen-year-old Eza Skywing is training to join the Rangers, the kingdom’s legendary protectors – the ones who can talk to dragons! He’s just finished his Year of Silence, the final step before getting a dragon of his very own, only to be devastated when he learns that hundreds of dragons have gone missing and there are none for his class at the Dragon Academy! What could possibly have happened?

Fifty miles away, on the far side of the Very Large Forest, the brilliant Cammie Ravenwood has just celebrated her sixteenth birthday. She loves living in Exclaimovia, with all its loud parties and chaotic streets and constant interruptions – although she hates the way people look at her sideways when she wants some time alone, in silence. That stings, but what could she do…flee to Introvertia?

Everything changes for Cammie when she learns a horrible secret: her people have stolen Introvertia’s dragons and are planning to start a war. Her father, a famous general, will be thrown into danger again. There’s no way Cammie will let that happen, so she does the unthinkable. She sets off for Introvertia, desperate to find someone who will help her.

In the Very Large Forest she meets Eza, and the two of them immediately discover why their kingdoms have been bitter enemies for thousands of years. It’s up to them to find the stolen dragons and stop the war…if they don’t annoy each other to death in the process! Yet they find that there are forces behind the scenes more sinister than anything they ever suspected – and that both Exclaimovia and Introvertia may merely be pawns in an even bigger scheme…

Dragons of Introvertia is a young adult series like no other. It’s optimistic in tone, a deliberate push-back against all the bleak, dismal, and dystopian young-adult fantasy that seems to be everywhere these days. It also highlights the introvert experience, letting introverts of all ages know that they’re awesome because of who they are. (Our ideal reader is a teenage introvert who flips the pages and exclaims, “Wow! There’s a word for people like me!”) It also hits on big issues, like mental illness, losing a parent, war and its effects on normal people, and staying positive when everything looks impossible. There’s humor, adventure, magic, and dragons…what more could you want?

About Road Kill by R.J. Norgard

In Road Kill, the second installment in the Sidney Reed Mystery Series, Alaska P.I. Sidney Reed is still haunted by the memory of his late wife Molly, even as his doubts about her alleged suicide grow. Still smarting from the loss of his beloved Subaru to a huge bull moose, Sidney is lured away from his dingy apartment above an Anchorage coffee shop by his friend, renowned Alaska attorney Eddie Baker, who persuades Sid to help him defend a drug-addicted snowplow operator accused of the hit-and-run death of Willie Olson, the son of a prominent indigenous community leader. With the trial dominating the headlines and the Alaska Native community on edge, tensions are running sky-high, but Eddie assures Sid that he is only there to provide routine trial support. But as the road-weary P.I. delves into the case, he begins to doubt his client’s guilt. These suspicions are reinforced when a key witness surfaces whose testimony could blow the case wide open. Suddenly, Sidney and his witness find themselves in the crosshairs of malevolent forces hell-bent on seeing to it that Baker’s client is convicted. Complicating matters is Sid’s growing relationship with Maria, the beautiful and mysterious newspaper reporter covering the trial. She’s determined to help Sid, but can he trust her? With the lives of his client and witness hanging in the balance, Sidney is determined to make things right, and nothing – not drug dealers, dirty cops, or the bitter Alaska cold – is going to stop him.

But the shrine holds a sinister secret that plunges him, his brothers and the devilclaw Trina into an adventure that will take them across Kalathan and into the Empire, where it will be up to them to challenge the Emperor and his icy daughter for the future of their beloved land.
