Hopebreaker 
(The Great Iron War #1)
by Dean F. Wilson 




In the world of Altadas, there are no more human births. The Regime is replacing the unborn with demons, while the Resistance is trying to destroy a drug called Hope that the demons need to survive.

Between these two warring factions lies Jacob, a man who profits from smuggling contraceptive amulets into the city of Blackout. He cares little about the Great Iron War, but a chance capture, and an even more accidental rescue, embroils him in a plot to starve the Regime from power.

When Hope is an enemy, Jacob finds it harder than he thought to remain indifferent. When the Resistance opts to field its experimental landship, the Hopebreaker, the world may find that one victory does not win a war.




Amazon Review By RCLDJ September 1st, 2015.

"A phenomenal and engrossing Steampunk read! Jacob is a wonderful hero and the perfect smuggler – he’s roguish, sarcastic, and realistically drawn as he struggles between his love of money and his nagging conscience (don’t you just hate that pesky internal voice?). You can’t help but root for Jacob and hope to see him conquer his constant inner war and come out on top.”

Amazon Review By Frederick Morrison April 28th, 2016.

"Outstanding read, looking forward to reading the entire series!"

Children of Swan 
by Coral Walker 


Bo is abducted. Chasing after him, his older siblings Jack and Brianna dive into a wormhole that takes them to the land of Taron, a perilous land fuelled by hatred and plagued by vicious snake-like, man-eating bokwas. Blue-skinned Baran people catch them and sell them to an arena where Barans entertain themselves watching slave boys fight to the death. Dad is there, staring at them like they are strangers.

The contest is brutal; the rules are clear — one game, one survivor. 



Amazon Review By Vanessa Kings February 15th, 2016.

"It has all the ingredients to entertain us on every page. From action and adventure, to elements of fantasy and sci-fi.”

Amazon Review By ZaiJen February 14th, 2016.

"The author is a talented writer who draws the reader into a world far away from reality. I am an adult and I plan on reading this book several more times, because I know I have missed some parts just like any other book or movie that I watch"

The Tapestry 
by Paul Wigmore 


The day Gavin died was the best and worst day of his life so far. The worst because he lost his beloved in the fire that killed them both, but the best because he was set free from his mortal shell, by Saul, the mightiest demon to ever wander the wasteland of Hades.

So when a soul as damaged and twisted as Gavin's is sold to a demon as dark and evil as Saul, the only thing that can follow is devastation and the possible decimation of the human race. Humanity's only saviour is the psychic Clara, The Guardian and keeper of the Dragonfire which is embedded in the tapestry on her wall.


Amazon Review By Reggie February 5th, 2016.

"Gavin and his young wife are thrown straight into enough horror to cause him to make an alliance, if not with the devil, then with the closest thing to him. As no horror story can be pure evil, we have light, is Clara a tapestry and a quest adventure told in fabulous storytelling to round out a great read. Highly recommended for the horror thriller readers like me.”

Amazon Review By R3 Janurary 21st, 2016.

"One thing in particular I liked about this book was the use of the children's song, "Ring a ring o’ roses" as the author called it. I had always heard it as "Ring around the rosies." It's a song that refers to the Black Death. Although the author doesn't specifically state this, he does allude to it. I like descriptive text, even if it detracts slightly from the story. Words themselves are as much a form of art as the story itself. The author has plenty of these lovely descriptions."

The Treasure of Gwenlais 
by M.T. Magee  




Prince Caleb of Heathwin, longs for peace and security for his kingdom.

Princess Laurel of Gwenlais is just seconds away from death. 

Laurel and Caleb have always been close, despite living in separate kingdoms, and the events that are about to unfold draws them closer together. But their new found love is as fragile as the peace between the kingdoms and there is an unknown enemy that threatens to destroy everything...






Amazon Review By Galveston Texas Reader February 18th, 2016.

"The human characters feel like real people to this reader-evoking lots of emotion.. Then there are Rabkins which are an entirely different race as well as other strange characters inhabiting Gwenlais and the Kingdom of Heathwin. And yes- there is a cliff-hanger ending! So dear Ms Magee-bring on that next book so we can be enchanted again.”

Amazon Review By Alana Blackey Janurary 21st, 2016.

"The Princess of Gwenlais and the Prince of Heathwin must work together to prevent war. All the while love is brewing between the two which adds to the drama. An enchanting love story wrapped in an epic fantasy adventure that Tolkien himself would approve of. This is a book that will steal your heart and thrill your senses. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a rainy night. Definitely a cozy up on the couch kind of book."

Discovering April 
by Sheena Hutchinson 





April Landau thinks she has everything she’s ever wanted. Her high school sweetheart, a house she can’t afford, her bipolar tabby cat, and she’s all set to begin her Junior year of college. Just when she least expects it, her life gets thrown for a loop. When things between her and her long time boyfriend unravel, she finds herself struggling to keep her head above water. 

  Enter Jared Hoffman. He’s her complete opposite. A high school drop out who was forced to take over his parent’s business after their untimely death. It’s no surprise this tragedy affected him greatly, causing him to recede almost completely from society. 

  But he has one secret. A secret he’s been carrying around for years. What happens when their worlds collide? Can an old friendship be the one thing that brings these two back to life? 





Amazon Review By lexiesmomma_32 October 4th, 2015.

"This book was really good and had me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I loved the characters and the story line. Sheena did an amazing job writing this story and I look forward to reading more by her in the future. I hope that we can get more stories with some of the characters in this book.”

Amazon Review By Andrea Heltsley October 19th, 2015.

"April is a wonderfully complex main character going through some major life issues. I liked that it wasn't about abuse or cancer, or more depressing issues. The author developed an intensely emotional plot with an epic romance that unraveled in a steady pace. This was a new adult book worth checking out! I look forward to reading the next book by Sheena Hutchinson! Five glittery stars!"
