Cat’s Quest by Roman Prokofiev
Cat’s Quest by Roman Prokofiev
When a cunning merchant called Cat finds a mysterious magic sword, it quickly draws the attention of both the administration and the other players inside the virtual reality of a top-of-the-line full-immersion MMORPG. This discovery sets off a special event and starts a deadly intercontinental war, all arranged by long-gone developers.
Now, Oleg, the man behind Cat, has to collect all the unique weapons left in the game by its creators before the tragic accident claimed their lives and complete the new challenge that nobody on the new developer team has any idea about, all while being accused of cheating and hunted by the most dangerous guild in the game world, led by a dark goddess and one of the top PvP players.
Once, he was a professional player earning real money in another game. He fell from his pedestal into a debt pit: his account got blocked, his savings got burnt, his friends left him behind, and dangerous people appeared at his doorstep, wanting their money back. To get back on his feet, he decided to enter a new game and find a new source of income.

Author Bio:
Roman Prokofiev was fascinated by the books of great fantasy writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and Glen Cook. He started jotting down his first fantasy stories in checkered notebooks at the age of fourteen. At that time, his stories were creative reinterpretations of the books he had read in urban fantasy and young adult fiction.
Over the next twenty years, Roman fell in the trap of growing up: he studied, worked, and started a family. Meanwhile, he remained an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy, as well as a gamer, making the LitRPG genre close to his heart. As he compared popular works with his childish attempts, he was encouraged to finally dust off his old tattered notebooks and get back to writing! Some of the worlds and heroes from his childhood did linger on and became the basis for his new fantasy books for new adults.
Roman Prokofiev’s first book immediately attracted the attention of several thousands of readers. Moreover, on most Russian literary sites his books got designated as the top of the genre and were picked by leading publishers.
Prokofiev thinks of himself as a virtual fantasy writer. In his own words, “I know the world of modern gamers and the nuances of MMOs perfectly, but the main thing in my works is the plot and adventures of the characters. I consider my main achievement to be the creation of Sphere of Worlds, a grandiose virtual multiverse, populated by bright, unusual characters. Such as the ingenious merchant Cat, the naive alchemist girl Weldy, the cold-blooded hunter Ace…”
This fantastic universe managed to conquer the hearts and minds of thousands of readers…and now it has come to you.
The Calling
Rayah’s entire life, she’d always been different from everyone else, and in Lytonia, being different was treated as a crime, but in her case, she was granted a pass.
In only a few months, she had to present her abilities to the council and prove to them that she was worthy of walking the halls of Monroe Academy, but Artemis, her tormentor and superior officer, would stop at nothing to keep her from excelling. Being powerless and not proving herself meant that she would be transitioned into a slave, and Artemis would become her master.
What Rayah realized was that she wasn’t as powerless as she thought. For weeks she had been able to do things that only the elite lighters could do, and even though this meant that she was strong, it made her more different than she could have ever imagined. Rayah went from being weak to possibly being as strong as a Gods Daughter, and she couldn’t tell anyone.
The standard colors of a Lytonians powers are white, royal blue, and turquoise blue.
Hers were black…

The End of Miracles: A Novel by Monica Starkman
About The End of Miracles: A Novel by Monica Starkman
The End of Miracles is a twisting, haunting story about the drastic consequences of a frustrated obsession. A woman with a complex past wants nothing more than to become a mother, but struggles with infertility and miscarriage. She is temporarily comforted by a wish-fulfilling false pregnancy, but when reality inevitably dashes that fantasy, she falls into a depression so deep she must be hospitalized. The sometimes-turbulent environment of the psychiatry unit rattles her and makes her fear for her sanity, and she flees. Outside, she impulsively commits a startling act with harrowing consequences for herself and others.

Author Bio:
I'm Danica Lovell and in spite of conventional advice, writing about myself in the third person makes me feel awkward. I was born on a tiny rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean known worldwide for its mythological triangle. That beautiful, tiny rock was a great place to grow up but with no graduate school on island, I was left with three choices. Move abroad, abandon the idea of a degree, or study online. After years of an intense schedule juggling work, studying and a new business, I learned that focused organization would be the only way to survive the 18 hour days. As an MBA graduate and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I've gained expertise in time management and I am passionate about distance learning and productivity. I genuinely believe distance learning is the answer to making education more accessible than ever before.
Some of my favorite hobbies as a child were filling out forms of any kind, reading the dictionary, and subjecting my little sister to completing extra credit workbooks during summer break. I like to think I'm a tad more fun now, and I love anything to do with dogs, puns, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the color black.

Mozambique Hell Run by Miguel A. Mitras
About Mozambique Hell Run by Miguel A. Mitras
An unforgettable memoir about driving through Africa’s most treacherous roads during the Mozambican civil war. They called it the ‘Hell Run’.
Miguel Mitras weaves a story of friendships, human vulnerability and navigating through emotions that come at you. In this candid account of trucking through Mozambique in 1991, you might even find a little laugh bubbling out as you read of the shenanigans of the author and his friends. He relives harrowing tales of running the gauntlet through the bandit-infested countryside with humor and vivid imagery.
It’s a compelling read that offers new insights into the conflict, including the chaotic Portuguese departure from Africa in 1974-75. A brutal yet complex civil war followed, where danger lurked everywhere. Especially on the transport corridors which became a battleground.

Roman grew up in the rolling hills of West Virginia. After becoming an adult, and realizing that life was difficult, he was reaping the same results as the people around him. He quickly realized that the only way to be successful in his area was to win the lottery. Roman changed all of that by diving deep within himself and discovered a path that few are willing to take. Self progression. A student of stoicism, physics, and manual labor, Roman decided to go down the path less traveled. Through the mud and the muck, people expressed that he should write a book about how he changed his life after his divorce, almost bankrupting his business, alcoholism and ultimately succumbing to medications for depression and anxiety after a mental breakdown. He decided to publish his account in a format that is raw as if he is giving a lecture.
