** eBook Free for Two Days Only, Sunday and Monday, Nov. 18/19 **
A corrupt Earth reaches out to strangle the near-earth stars. The single person who can stop it is Meriel Hope—if only she can remember.
Murdered parents. A busted spaceship. Stories that horrified the therapists and terrified the space stations. That’s what pirates left to twelve-year-old Meriel Hope. But pirates didn’t exist, and for the authorities, that meant she’s crazy.
After ten years fighting flashbacks, nightmares, and involuntary drugs, she’s put her life back together and her past behind her. She searches for a mythical planet called Home to reboot her life, but the Wars of Immigration ensnare her in the largest exodus in human history.
When her ruined ship lands on the recycle dock, she has only days to untangle the mysteries surrounding her parents’ death or face her own.
What she discovers could rescue humanity from slavery, but it makes her a target.
Again.
And this time she can’t escape.
“Great Story! Great World Building! … engrossing and entertaining, and a plot full of twists and turns… awesome world building and character arcs…!” ***** Madhavi Ghare (Goodeads)
“Reminiscent of Ray Bradbury, early Heinlein, or Alan Dean Foster. Characters who are realistic, not perfect…” ***** Norma Mason (Goodreads)
“… a science fiction tale that reads like a pilgrimage with a haunted and haunting female character who combines strength and grace in a way that instantly wins the reader over to her perspective and her values, her every cause.” — Writer’s Digest

Smoke and Rain by V. S. Holmes
About Smoke and Rain by V. S. Holmes
To save their world she must destroy her own
“I expected a hero to save us all. Turns out, I was thinking of the wrong part of the story. In the beginning, we aren’t saved. There are only fragments and grief. The pieces must be gathered and flames kindled before I’m reforged. I don’t know what shape I will take. Those pieces might become a hero…
…or a monster.”
A mad king’s genocide destroyed Alea’s home and left her sanity in tatters. Caught in the crossfire between the gods and their creators, Alea realizes the darkness inside her is the only thing that can end the bloodshed. Horrified by the blood on his hands, bastard lieutenant Brentemir Barrackborn must choose between the gods he worships and newfound family if he has any hope of redemption—or surviving the war.
What happens when heroes are as broken as the world they must reforge?

Author Bio:
My childhood can be simply described in one word: rebellious. Every day, my parents would want me to go outside and play with the other kids. But no. I rebelled. Instead of listening to my mom and dad about getting exercise and some fresh air, I stayed inside doing the most rebellious thing I could think of to exasperate my parents: read. Being an inquisitive child, I spent days reading books and encyclopedias.
I called it expanding my horizons.
My parents called it being lazy.
The first computer in my life appeared when I entered university. It brought entirely new worlds to me. After classes, I would search through breathtaking stories describing unseen worlds, their histories, and characters. The most lasting impression for me was the Fallout series.
I remember everything as if it was just yesterday…
At 22, I went through a pre-midlife crisis. I was finding out my place in the world, trying different jobs and directions for life. Restaurants, websites, freelance, ghostwriting — everything I did, I gave it my all. Life was like a game to me: you earn resources and gold and spend them on armor and equipment.
At the end of 2013, I read my first LitRPG book. I read all of the stories from the first LitRPG wave in Russia. It was a revelation! The two things I liked the most, internet gaming and books, were now seamlessly combined to produce heroic stories. Needless to say, I became a fan of the genre. It was like reading and playing at the same time, a game you could only dream of!
I was full of emotions and energy and purely inspired. I had so many things to say and write that eventually I put pen to paper. The story just wrote itself: a world of mystery, elaborate plot twists, and devious characters. No free hugs, no super luck, no powers and definitely no magic for free. That was the book I ended up writing.
If I’m being totally honest, sometimes I cried when I wrote the traumatizing and dramatic life experiences of Anji. I was with him, side by side, and I felt his pain as if it was my own. And I wanted to share our story with the world.
I am in awe of how fast Chrysalis has been read by readers around the world. I’m forever grateful to the people who inspired me to keep writing and for those that said I should just put a cork in it!
I’d like to thank the Litworld team for doing an amazing job at promoting my book. None of this would have been possible without you guys.
Chrysalis is only beginning, and the world is infinite and terrifying.
Serenade for My Baby – Love
About Serenade for My Baby – Love
Serenade For My Baby – Love is an inspirational positive affirmation children’s picture book, with appealing and colorful illustrations about unconditional love, self-love, and loving others and life. These are the foundation for developing positive thinking and a growth mindset in your children.
It has been proven that brain development is optimal between the ages of 0-5 and conscious parenting is required to help build the child’s confidence and self-esteem to develop a growth mindset and positive thinking in children for life-long success!
In other words, this means that your child’s ability to be persistent and never give up, learning from failure, embracing challenges, and developing executive functioning skills is dependent on how well the brain develops. The good news is that you have a central role to play!
Young children need the best experiences and conditions to reach the emotional and cognitive potential for optimum brain development. Children also learn self-love and loving others, as well as having their language skills sharpened at this early stage of development, through attachment and bonding with their parents. When a parent or caregiver has easy access to constructive resources such as brain development toys, games, and books, the relationship with the child is fostered and bound to thrive. A supportive tool such as Serenade For My Baby Love comes in handy!
Serenade For My Baby Love promotes the wonder of helping your little ones connect and understand their new world while their brains are growing. The Love book was created to help you express your deep love to your young child, while joyfully encouraging their emotional intelligence, language skills, and vocabulary in early childhood.

Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.

Author Bio:
Don Both, aka Bethy Zimmermann is 30 years old. Her parents are from Prague in the Czech Republic. At the age of 12, her class held a short story contest where she discovered her true great love — writing. During her schooling and vocational training as a nanny, she wrote throughout the day and drew comics at the same time. At first, she created animal stories, family stories, fantasy stories … As she grew older, her novels and male protagonists became hotter and hotter and she discovered her other great love: eroticism. In 2010, she took the big step and went public with her novels. Through her cheeky, provocative, and extraordinary writing style, she quickly gained an enthusiastic fan base. At the time, the young woman won several competitions and prizes — for example, “Best Fanfiction Author” and “Best Erotic Story”. At the time, her husband’s health was declining and the company where she worked as a baker’s assistant went bankrupt. Practically overnight, the small family became Hartz 4 recipients (Welfare, unemployment program). In dire straits, the desperate mother discovered Amazon Self-publishing and with their last money published “The unholy Book of Tristan Wrangler”. It was a smash hit. What every author dreams about. It has become a bestseller that has since grown into one of the most widely read eBooks on the German market. Since then, she and her two best friends founded A.P.P. Verlag (publisher), which includes more than 30 successful authors. In the meantime, she became acquainted with the media. Several newspapers wrote articles and she was on television. Privately, the curvy dynamic woman is committed to animal welfare and the fight against body shaming, while trying every day to do something good. She loves yoga and resides with her cats, her super sweet German Shepherd dog, husband, and son in a small Bavarian town.

The Darkside of Good by JB Chivvy
About The Darkside of Good by JB Chivvy
When Captain Jacob Baccus and his platoon are assigned to a Protective Services Detail, for scientists traveling into the heart of Baghdad at the beginning of the war in Iraq, it seems like just another routine job.
But their assignment, to secure the ancient body of King Nimrod and escort it to a secret base in Antarctica, leads Jacob and his men into a hellish nightmare.
In a place that is run by demon-like entities, whose sole purpose is to resurrect King Nimrod for their own vile agenda, Jacob learns that Evil has plans for him in the approaching Armageddon.
Barely surviving his assignment, Jacob is discharged from the army only to be almost immediately recruited by Jesuits with their own plans. And as the final war looms, Jacob must deal with the machinations of Evil as he tries desperately to thwart its plans for mankind.
But does he have what it takes to face the ultimate threat? Or is he simply caught in the midst of a battle between good and evil that he has no chance of winning?

‘A successful book is not made of what is in it, but of what is left out of it…’ – Mark Twain
JB Chivvy was born and raised on a farm near the city of Aberdeen, South Dakota. He attended Northern State University where he attained a BS in Accounting, a BS in Information Technologies and an MBA. He now lives in Janesville, Wisconsin with his wife, their children and 2 dogs.
Having worked in IT since 1994, JB has always had an eye on the evolution of technology. But inside himself he always knew there was a writer struggling to get out and make himself heard.
Throwing caution to the wind, he decided to write his first book and the result is The Darkside of Good, which is a supernatural thriller that pits good against evil as the battle of Armageddon approaches.
In his spare time, JB participates in Brazilian Jujitsu and submission wrestling. He also enjoys outdoor sports like kayaking, rock climbing and zip lining, but when he is feeling creative he loves nothing better than working with a piece of wood and making something unique.
Being new to the world of writing, JB is interested to see where it will lead him in the future. The opportunity to entertain readers with his imagination is an intriguing prospect and he hopes that enough people will like his work to inspire him to write and entertain more.
