Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Award for Nonfiction * New York Times Bestseller * A Huffington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of the Year * One of the Best Books of the Month on Goodreads * Library Journal Best Sci-Tech Book of the Year * An American Library Association Notable Book of the Year “Sy Montgomery’s The Soul of an Octopus does for the creature what Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk did for raptors.” —New Statesman, UK “One of the best science books of the year.” —Science Friday, NPR Another New York Times bestseller from the author of The Good Good Pig, this “fascinating…touching…informative…entertaining” (The Daily Beast) book explores the emotional and physical world of the octopus—a surprisingly complex, intelligent, and spirited creature—and the remarkable connections it makes with humans. In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food. Scientists have only recently accepted the intelligence of dogs, birds, and chimpanzees but now are watching octopuses solve problems and are trying to decipher the meaning of the animal’s color-changing techniques. With her “joyful passion for these intelligent and fascinating creatures” (Library Journal Editors’ Spring Pick), Montgomery chronicles the growing appreciation of this mollusk as she tells a unique love story. By turns funny, entertaining, touching, and profound, The Soul of an Octopus reveals what octopuses can teach us about the meeting of two very different minds.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SCHNEIDER FAMILY BOOK AWARD FOR TEENS! A beautifully realistic, relatable story about mental health—anxiety, perfectionism, depression—and the healing powers of art—perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces and How it Feels to Float. Whatever you struggle with, you are not alone and you are already enough—just the way you are. It's been three months since The Night on the Bathroom Floor--when Lily found her older sister Alice hurting herself. Ever since then, Lily has been desperately trying to keep things together, for herself and for her family. But now Alice is coming home from her treatment program and it is becoming harder for Lily to ignore all of the feelings she's been trying to outrun. Enter Micah, a new student at school with a past of his own. He was in treatment with Alice and seems determined to get Lily to process not only Alice's experience, but her own. Because Lily has secrets, too. Compulsions she can't seem to let go of and thoughts she can't drown out. When Lily and Micah embark on an art project for school involving finding poetry in unexpected places, she realizes that it's the words she's been swallowing that desperately want to break through. "A tender, heartfelt, and realistic look at mental illness, familial love, and finding your voice."—Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

Book excerpt: In Seraphine Caelum’s world, gods exist. So do goddesses. Sera knows this because she is one of them. A secret long concealed by her parents, Sera is Lakshmi reborn, the human avatar of an immortal Indian goddess rumored to control all the planes of existence—Illysia (the Light Realm), Earth (the Mortal Realm), and Xibalba (the Dark Realm). Marked by the sigils of both heaven and hell, Sera’s avatar is meant to bring balance to the mortal world, but all she creates is chaos. A chaos that Azraiel, the Asura Lord of Death, hopes to use to unleash hell on earth. Torn between reconciling her past and present, Sera must figure out how to stop Azraiel before the Mortal Realm is destroyed. But trust doesn’t come easy in a world fissured by lies and betrayal. Her best friend Kyle is hiding his own dark secrets, and her mysterious new neighbor, Devendra, seems to know a lot more than he’s telling. Struggling between her opposing halves and her attraction to the boys tied to each of them, Sera must become the goddess she was meant to be, or risk failing, which means sacrificing the world she was born to protect. Retellings of classic fairy tales and Greek myths are becoming staples in the YA and adult fiction genres, and now Amalie Howard, author of the popular Bloodspell, brings the myth of Rama and Sita’s love story to an exciting new level. Howard’s stunningly fresh voice and imaginative characters promise to make Alpha Goddess an exciting addition to the young adult fiction world. Aimed at readers ages 13 to 17, both girls and boys will relate to Sera's and Kyle's realistic teen persona and dilemmas while learning more about a famous Hindu myth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Love More Powerful Than Evil? The author of the series: A Twisted Shade of Green returns with the motivating and passionate edge seater centered around one man’s most thought-provoking unsaid truths and hidden obscurities of his past. An unmentioned time that Glen Monroe has concealed away from the one woman he vowed to tell everything; Kali Mathias. That instant, Glen bartered his today filled with revenge for a tomorrow of lies and secrets, and Kali traded a squandered episode of lust for desiring unconditional love from Glen. Kali’s in love! She realized Glen’s heart is only telling him what she’s felt since Friday, June 15, 2012. Two years ago, when Kali’s ardent gaze first met with Glen’s, she understood he was destined by God to be her husband! That was until this resentful ex-lover from Glen’s past sweeps back into Springfield, Virginia, like a vulture still carrying a heated torch for Glen and envy for Kali. Iona Monroe, Glen’s ex, and the warden of his past life and the keeper of all Glen’s lies and secrets. Is Kali Mathias ready for Iona Monroe? The other woman of Glen’s past, who’s not going anywhere without him! Iona is back with a bag of games loaded with tricks to take Kali down and get her Glen back at all costs. How could Kali’s passion for Glen compare with Iona’s for him? It was more than Kali’s heart can behold. The envious ex-lover, who remains silent on Glen’s lips, yet Iona now stands between Kali and his happy ever after. Rather more like a fairy tale where a scorned woman’s jealous and resentful eyes sought-after the same heart Kali so desires to treasure. Nonetheless, for Kali, Glen’s past life was a dominant volcano where the magma of mendacities and mysteries could erupt at any time. The hands of Satan, Iona Monroe, lurks in the background to influence Kali’s heart, casting doubt on what Kali felt God destined for her; Glen Monroe. Could the exposed secrets from a woman of Glen’s past derail his future with Kali Mathias forever, or will joy come in the end? The spawn of Satan has returned to wreak havoc, and reclaim what’s hers through any means possible as Kali finds herself asking. “Where is God; is he really there?” While in her heart, at that same time, knowing. Who else, but God can turn a lustful and revengeful core into pure love for another, or a pair of lying lips into the truth! Who else, but God can take your deepest and darkest secret meant to be used for evil, and turn it into pure glory while loving you in the midst of it all! So, even though Kali and Glen might have permitted the sound of Satan, Iona, to waver their hearts momentarily, the lips were now saying. “Who else, but God was there!” Because although; God’s presence wasn’t visible to Kali nor Glen, like in the Book of Esther, God is there surrounding them in His protective hands of love against the powerless tongue of Satan.

Book excerpt: This is a story of alien invasion set 300 years in the future. The fifteen to twenty meter diameter silver Globes were first thought to be a fleet of spaceships, but as it turned out they were creatures so different from Mankind that Humans could not communicate with them on any level. They could travel in space, and discharge destructive energy bolts that could destroy Human built spaceships. As part of their breeding cycle they infested planets with their offspring, nine foot long, voracious killing machines that devoured every living thing they encountered. The Globes soon became an unstoppable force that quickly destroyed the first two colonies they found. Although the third colony offered more resistance, it too was rapidly losing the battle for survival. Undetered, the Globes swept on and eventually reached the abundant Earth. Once there they moved in for the long haul. The early part of the story centers around a twenty-eight year old Medic fresh out from the Centaurus Colony. Samantha Wilson had taken a medical contract with the Star Patrol and arrived on the Lastchance Colony just in time to witness the first invasion. Within days she found herself alone and surrounded by lethal Slimers on a strange new world. Then came salvation in the form of the Star Patrol's Starship Orion, which, as Samantha's luck would have it, needed a Medical Officer. Samantha and Orion's crew follow the invading Globes from Lastchance and finally to Earth where Humans are totally unprepared for this new threat to their existence. Space battles with Globes, and planetary encounters with Slimers are all a part of the mix. Along the way Samantha finds lifelong friends and even love in places she never expected to be, even in her wildest dreams. Then while on a medical mission she and her Medical Technician become separated from Orion and the man she has fallen in love with. The unlikely pairing of Samantha, the doctor, and Mary Como, the soldier, acquire an ancient Starship and then find themselves on a planet hopping quest to find their missing ship and crew mates. They soon discover that even with aliens threatening mankind, there are still humans conspiring for dominance of the species. Although it is a story of alien invaders, the Earth and it's colonies, the thinly stretched Star Patrol, and human conspiracies. It is ultimately Samantha's story.

Book excerpt: She suddenly felt caught between two worlds, a heinous existence in what she knew as reality and a dire situation in what seemed to be a dream about the end of the world. The troubling part was that she didn't know which was better Eighteen-year-old Kali, a poor girl residing in a garbage-filled, decrepit trailer with her mentally ill mother, while being repeatedly abused physically and sexually by her alcoholic father, finds escape from the brutality of her everyday life only in her dreams, where she imagines a picture perfect home and a family who loves her. During an exceptionally viscous attack Kali is beaten into unconsciousness and wakes up in a warehouse with a strange man named Ryatt. Ryatt seems to know Kali, but Kali has no recollection of him or their surroundings. Kali soon learns that she has been dropped into a new fantasy, a viral apocalypse. Sliding back and forth between worlds, Kali tries to figure out what divides these two places, there are no doors or roads to follow to the other side. It isnt long before her grasp on reality and nightmare begins to falter. Which is better, her inhumane life or a world where everyone she knows is gone and the only people left walking are dead?

But she isn’t what one might call skillful at spellcasting. And her latest bounty is a vampire-witch hybrid with a taste for Kali’s blood, which doesn’t help the situation any. After an attack, Kali is on the brink of death when Wyatt—the man who shattered her heart eight years ago—finds her. Eight years apart hasn’t been enough to cool her anger...or the desire steaming between them. When Wyatt shares disturbing news, Kali realizes she needs more help than she thought she did, from both Wyatt and the organization she turned her back on before—the Witch Hunter’s Union. But even with an army at her back, the odds aren’t in her favor...
