Sky Parlor by Stephen C. Perkins
About Sky Parlor by Stephen C. Perkins
From the dawn of mankind…
Through America’s Civil War and into the distant future…
Two ancient gods have made romance and waged war…
After the Great Rapture…
Will Sky Parlor become their final battlefield?
Do we ever really die? Or, do we return to live again with those we knew before?
In the future, will man and machine learn to procreate?
For generations, the population of Sky Parlor has believed that, long ago, the lands beyond their domed city were made uninhabitable during the “Great Rapture”.
When young Desmond Starr is appointed Alderman for Sky Parlor’s borough of Columbia, he is guided by a benevolent spirit during a dream’s strange vision and learns a hidden truth, exposing a shocking lie that has persisted for centuries. As rumors of a vast deception spread among Sky Parlor’s population, the president and his governing “sustainability” council propose what appears to be the perfect but distracting solution: An inspiring journey to a mysterious and distant world!
But does this grand proposal mask an ulterior agenda? Will a rebellious young man discover his own fate is bound to not only the future of Sky Parlor, but to the survival of humanity?

Granted Redemption by Katie Mettner
About Granted Redemption by Katie Mettner
Grant Harris spent the last fifteen years hopping from one woman’s bed to the next. That was the way he liked it, until it wasn’t. His heart was filled with aching loneliness he either had to outrun or fix. He chose to run, all the way to Duluth, Minnesota, where the air was as cold as the lifeless heart inside his chest.
Carla Coffer spent the last fifteen years running from her ghosts. Now a successful businesswoman in Duluth, Minnesota, she told herself she would lay those ghosts to rest once and for all, but they weren’t cooperating.
The day Grant walked through the doors of Carla’s Kinky Café, the world shifted on its axis for both of them. Grant’s cold dead heart thumped against his ribcage for the first time in a lifetime. Carla’s heart wondered if he’d bring her the one thing she’d always wanted, unconditional love.
A cup of coffee, a car, and a confession will bring them together. It will be up to them to decide if their pasts will tear them apart or be their catalyst for redemption.

The Thirteenth Guardian
DA VINCI’S SECRET PALES. Michelangelo concealed an explosive truth in his famous Creation of Adam fresco in the Sistine Chapel. Eve did not cause the fall of man. She carried a far more devastating secret for millennia—one that will change the world forever.
As the modern-day world suffers the cataclysmic effects of the “Plagues of Egypt,” Avery Fitzgerald, a statuesque Astrophysics major at Stanford, discovers that she is mysteriously bound to five strangers by an extremely rare condition that foremost medical experts cannot explain. Thrust into extraordinary circumstances, they race against time to stay alive as they are pursued by an age-old adversary and the world around them collapses into annihilation. Under sacred oath, The Guardians—a far more archaic and enigmatic secret society than the Freemasons, Templars, and the Priory—protect Avery as she embarks on a daring quest that only legends of old have been on before. Avery must come to terms with the shocking realization that the blood of an ancient queen flows through her veins and that the fate of the world now rests on her shoulders.
The Thirteenth Guardian is Book One of a daring new Trilogy that will shake you to your core.

The president doesn’t trust the information he is getting from Saigon, where in the aftermath of the coup that toppled the U.S. supported government, the American military is engaged in a shadow operation to make things seem better than they really are.
So he turns to the one man he does trust: Lt. Colonel Patrick O’Shea. A decorated combat veteran of Korea, O’Shea has been plucked from obscurity to be Kennedy’s military advisor, and is tasked by the president to figure out what is really going on in Vietnam.
The knives come out as O’Shea grapples with myriad threats to himself and the president he serves. The Pentagon, the CIA, the Corsican Mafia and the Chicago Mob are all conspiring against him.

Barbra Campbell writes fast and hot contemporary romance/erotic romance as an escape from the regular world.

Life happened. New paths were taken, and she’s finally escaped most of the rat race to dream up sexy fantasy worlds where the characters are guaranteed a Happily Ever After, or at least a Happy For Now! And since she’s busy, she appreciates stories that get right to the point!

For longer than I can remember, I’ve been sharing stories to everyone I know. Some were wild dreams and others were figments of my imagination, but most of the stories that have emerged from the depths of my mind never escaped my thoughts. I bottled up my creativity and self expression, thinking that the strange plots of my mind would distance myself from others. But after going through the turbulence of life, I finally convinced myself to return to writing, albeit anonymously online.
To my surprise, I gained a following far faster than I had ever anticipated. Within days, one hundred readers had seen my story. Within a week, one thousand people had read it. And within a month, my rough and unedited story had over one million hits. I was blown away, questioning whether it was a dream or reality. After I verified that it was legit, I dove into writing far deeper than I had ever done before. Endless worlds were born in my consciousness, countless characters took form in my mind, unpredictable plots wove themselves into existence.
Now, here I am. Trekking the never-ending cosmos in search of the greatest tales there are to offer, together with the team I’ve gathered under The Silver Library. Join us in the escape of reality in exchange for fantastic journeys that satisfy the soul and leave you eager for more.
