Featured Book:
FAR FLUNG by TCC Edwards
William Flynn’s idealistic dreams of a fresh start with his fiancé on humanity’s first interstellar colony are shattered when the colonist ship he boards is flung far from its intended destination, appearing in an uncharted corner of the universe.
Now, Flynn and the crew of Tereshkova are forced to partner with a mysterious alien known as Asar, who offers to guide them to a new habitable world. But the journey to safety thrusts them into a bloody feud between two vastly advanced races—with one bent on eradicating all who oppose them.
Caught in the middle of a catastrophic war and billions of lightyears from home, Flynn must put his trust in otherworldly strangers to survive and find a new home amongst unfamiliar stars—one far from the life he’d hoped for.

The Author's Guide to Libraries
Cari Dubiel
Still believe in the stereotype of a library filled with quiet, calm, and peaceful readers? Think again. Many authors want their books available for checkout in their communities and beyond, but to make this happen, it’s vital to understand the library as a modern institution. Public libraries host events, provide essential services for citizens (voter registration, passport executions, notary signatures, and more), and assist users with technology. Study space and meeting rooms are also in demand.
With changes in both industries, it’s only natural that the two work together–but how? Never fear–this slim, handy guide will teach authors how to connect with library staff and readers. Cari Dubiel has worked in libraries for many years, and she’s also an indie/hybrid author who understands the relationship between the two. By the time you finish this book, you’ll be ready to walk into your library with your book in hand and a smile on your face.

Girl Next Door
Aly Welch
She’s out of this world.
Hannah Moore conceals her true identity to accept a job as a caretaker-in-training at Chateau Beaumont, a foster home funded by the mysterious Lafayette Foundation. When former resident Izzy Rodriguez returns home for summer break, they find themselves drawn to each other and immersed in a deadly mystery.
Meanwhile, former foster Bianca Evans joins forces with a local filmmaker to investigate the disappearance of her twin brother after he was sent to Chateau Beaumont a decade before. It’s a race against time as Hannah seeks a world-ending threat in the depths of Lake Ontario before Bianca or Izzy uncover the truth.
