I love sharing some of my author friends with y'all. Check out A.J. Alexander (Fantasy, Paranormal):

I'm a romance author working on a paranormal romance/fantasy series, "The Council Of Twelve" series. The books are mainly suitable for young adult readers, but I heard there are quite a number of readers beyond their teenage years who enjoy them...

Fantasy, Paranormal

The writing duo of Geoff Habiger and Coy Kissee have been life-long friends since high school in Manhattan, Kansas. (Affectionately known as the Little Apple, which was a much better place to grow up than the Big Apple, in our humble opinion.) We love reading, baseball, cats, role-playing...

Today's review! Dalí by E.M. Hamill:

"Quite an enjoyable read. The voice, the prose, the characters and plot - everything was good. If you love sci-fi, space operas, advanced technology, alien civilisations, flawed characters and high personal stakes, this is the book for you."

Today's review! Two Infinite Things" by R.M. Zubairi:

"Orville Hatch wants to be a regular high school kid, but instead he finds himself in screaming matches with a mouse in his physics class, and in the middle of a number of strange events... A fascinating YA superhero origin story with an unexpected protagonist, for whom literally nothing comes easy. Recommended."

Today's review! A Planet of Wrath and Tears by Colin Alexander:

"Strap in and get ready for a wild ride that sidesteps stale first-contact tropes and brings us something fresh, with enough humanity, whiz-bang tech and a roller-coaster of a plot that ends with a bang. A masterful work of modern-day sci-fi."

Income inequality is worse than it was in the Roaring Twenties. Corporations are moving fast and breaking things, and the social contract seems to be falling apart, aided by social media disruption and division on steroids.

We asked fourteen sci-fi writers to come up with innovative ways the world could work better.

One of the many hats I wear is that of book formatter. As an indie author/press, it made sense to do it for myself, and now I do it for other folks too. :)

Need a re-release formatted? Have a new book you want to self-publish, but just don't quite know how to prep your book files? We use Vellum for the Mac, and do formatting for ePub (all formats) and pdf/print.
