Heirs of the Ancients by James Norwood

The ancients waited and watched as the ages unfolded before them. They laid their trap in a desolate corner of the galaxy, waiting patiently like a spider, while countless stars, planets, and civilizations were born, thrived, and died out. In the fullness of time, a desperate race of beings, fleeing from their home, was ensnared in their cosmic web, setting into motion a thousand-year struggle for survival, revenge, and dominance.

Without imagining the peril that lay before them, they forged ahead. Their motives and plans blurred the reality of their growing and swiftly approaching doom. Imprisoned by their own greed, the D’lai unwittingly fed the starving ancients, who grew in power and strength, until the day would finally arrive when their dark, consuming plan could be fulfilled.

Haunted by their lust for power, and consumed by their passion for revenge, the D’lai swept into space and were utterly destroyed by their own arrogance. Despite their failure, an ember still smoldered, and finally, emboldened and possessed by the rage and malice of the ancients, they struck once more.

The ancient game, played out over billions of years, would once more consume the galaxy, and this time, should they succeed, no being alive or dead would remain untouched. The final plan was in place, and the D’lai, the heirs of the ancients, were on the move.

Julian Hilton is a writer and musician who lives beside the seaside in the magical county of Devon, England.

Born in Liverpool in 1969, England, home of the Beatles (the same week Get Back was in the charts), Julian always fancied being a Beatle, but could not sing like Paul Mccartney. Still, much like the fab four, he would much like to contribute to the world in some small way. Using a vivid imagination for the impossible, he seems much more likely to tell tall tales of adventures you can have while still getting back in time for your tea!

While Gosia Nealon is a proud New Yorker, she was born and raised in Poland. Her journey to the Big Apple revealed a wealth of cultural differences, but also the values that connect us all. Like the fierce desire to protect family, find love, and ultimately, discover who we are and why we’re here.
Gosia’s award-winning short stories have always delved into life’s biggest questions, but it was the drama, sacrifice, and tragedy of WWII that led her to pen her debut novel, “The Last Sketch.”
Growing up in Poland, Gosia heard many firsthand accounts of the war, told from a perspective rarely captured in mainstream literature. She was compelled to breathe life into Wanda and Finn, two young people falling in love in the midst of the most terrifying conflict of our time.
When Gosia isn’t tapping away at her laptop, she’s often walking the streets of New York. With her husband and two young sons in tow, they search for the most succulent pierogi, transporting them back to the cobbled streets of her childhood.

I was born and raised in Wrexham with four siblings. During the nineteen nineties my partner and I gave up our jobs in search of adventure, then spent two years living and working in Spain. We now live in Cardiff and our much loved cat Alex. I have always wanted to write, but ‘it took a long time for me to get started!’ After joining a book club at my local library, I decided to finish the novel I had been writing ‘on and off’ for several years. It was inspired by the unusual events that led my mother and father to meet and eventually marry. That novel was called Bluebells and tin hats. Once I got that published, I wrote the sequel Rhubarb without Sugar. And from then on I continued to write. It was never my intention to write ghost stories but somehow, the inspiration came and I felt compelled to write them. Very soon I hope to publish a novel in the genre of crime.

About Frail Earth: Threatened by Scientists. by Yuval Kanev

Modern scientists have enjoyed a very favorable public image.
Yet, somewhat oddly, modern scientists have created burgeoning catastrophic dangers.

Stocks of nuclear explosives, swarms of engineered pandemic-viruses, and billions over billions of polluting machines instantly come to mind.

Based on a well-known authority, we all face a scandalous risk of extinction: Fifty percent. Others propose other nasty percentages, lower or higher, up to hundred percent.

Hence, this book explores a few sober questions:

Have scientists shattered our survival chances?
Have scientists downplayed their hazardous achievements?
Have scientists championed false paradigms?
Have scientists promoted their deceptive group thinking?
Have scientists sold our future?

About History of Eastern Europe: A Captivating Guide to a Shortened History of Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Moldova, Belarus, and Romania by Captivating History

The story of Eastern Europe is one of successes and failures, competing interests, and the rise and fall of states and empires. The ancient Greek and Roman empires knew the importance of Eastern Europe for trade and settlement. Later, during the Migration Period, also known as the “Barbarian Invasions,” Eastern Europe became the stomping grounds for many people groups. The Visigoths, Huns, Slavs, and central Asian Turkic tribes like the Avars and Khazars all made their way into Eastern Europe.
With so many people moving in, the first states started to rise. Some of them would break apart as soon as they started, while others would form full-fledged empires. The medieval period would see some of the greatest empires of European history, like Kievan Rus, the Bulgarian Empire, Serbia, and the German Crusader states. By the early modern period, these great states would be replaced by Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottoman Empire.
In the coming centuries, the rise of Russia, Austria, and Prussia would spell doom for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Ottomans would keep pressing into Eastern Europe. The 19th century would lay the foundations for the outbreak of World War I, which would itself lead to World War II. In the aftermath, Eastern Europe became part of the Eastern Bloc, which was dominated by the USSR until the fall of communism nearly five decades later. This book extends past contemporary histories of Eastern Europe, which usually end at the fall of the Berlin Wall, to cover more recent events, including the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo and the 2014 Crimean crisis.

About Enemy Love

I’ve fallen in love with my kidnapper. WTF have I done…
Damian isn’t your typical boy next door, he’s the boy the neighbors hide from, he’s the man your friends tell you to leave alone, and your mother tells you he’s no good.
But I didn’t listen, not when Damian is everything beautiful, wrapped up in the perfect package, with his smooth tongue, and devilish charm.
I kept telling myself meeting a guy like Damian is too good to be true. And I was right. Not everything is as it seems. Damian is hiding a dark secret and the clock is ticking.
I fell for his lies and let him whisk me away to Italy. I expected the romance of a lifetime but found myself in Mafia crime boss hell.
My life is in danger, and I may be in too deep. But surprise protection and love rush in when I least expect it. My life depends on where my loyalties lie.
I must choose wisely or suffer the consequences…

I’m Misty Winters, the “Mother of Chihuahuas”… also of three human children, and I’m the debut author of some new steamy contemporary romance novels. I’ve always been an avid reader, devouring whole books in one sitting, and with my vivid imagination, writing was a natural next step. I love creating plots and characters that can provide my readers with an escape from the everyday. My ability to concoct stories has always been my inspiration, and besides, who doesn’t want to spend the day dreaming up romantic bad boy leads?

I’m an animal fanatic, and my little fur babies, Lulu, Oliver, and Winston, are my cheerleaders while I write. I firmly believe a good laugh can heal the soul, and for those it doesn’t, red wine will do the trick.

I love to camp, hike, travel and explore, but also to hunker down in my garden and, of course, read! Mexican food is my go-to because I like my food the same way I like my romantic leads, spicy! I was born and raised in Arizona, but my family and I now live in Iowa. I hope you’ll follow me to stay up to date with all that is Misty Winters.

About Lucid Dreams

Fifteen years ago, Scott Metcalf had received a life-threatening injury in battle during the Vietnam war that had earned him an early ticket home. Suffering from his past, Scott turned to drugs as an only means of escape when all else had failed.
A few years later, during a period where the tension between the United States and Russia was only seeming to grow worse, a sudden virus plagued all of America and many were sent into a panic. Soon after, a vaccine was distributed by the Government to the people in the shape of a pill. Though many had put their trust in the pill, some remained skeptical of it; refusing to accept it into their bodies. Those who rejected it were looked down on as crazy people and were soon labeled as Downers by a small, yet growing group of people who secretly abused the vaccine. These people had found pleasure in taking multiple doses beyond the recommended amount and soon had begun to mix it together with other drugs to form the ultimate experimental pill that would give its user the experience of a lifetime. The Lucid pill was coined by those same people who created it. These people were referred to as Lucys.
After years of searching for an escape, Scott finally finds it in the shape of the Lucid pill, though for him it seems to do more harm than good. When he wakes up from his first trip on Lucid and finds a mysterious girl in his apartment, Scott is soon sent down a path riddled with mysteries waiting to be uncovered, though some secrets are better kept hidden and for Scott, not searched for. What you don’t know cant hurt you…
“The truth is never comfortable – Neither is walking down the path to get to the truth, though the desire to know it pushes us through the discomfort. I think you’ll do the same, Scott. Its human instinct.”
