Serpent’s End by Lorn Hillaker

About Serpent’s End by Lorn Hillaker

Serpent’s End – Book 1 of the Ember Sea Trilogy – is available for free (ebook) on April 23-24, in anticipation of the release of Book 2, Ember’s Rise on April 24. Here’s what to expect in book 1:

On the Ember Sea, the source of all magic is gold.

Sailors desperately hunt for caches of buried treasure and pray to avoid the dragons, who haunt the skies in constant search for gold to fill their hoards.

But some crews, those particularly skilled or reckless, hunt the dragons.

Elliot Arkwright dreams of becoming a Wingbinder, one of these dragon-hunters. They are endowed with mystical tattoos that burn gold for power, power he hopes to use to free his mother from prison.

And time is running out. Dragons are breaking through the boundaries of the Ember Sea in greater numbers than ever before, threatening all nearby human settlements.

To stop the devastation and free his mother, Elliot will have to join the crew of the legendary ship, Serpent’s End, on a quest far more dangerous than anything he ever imagined.

They must hunt an elder dragon, a threat so great it endangers the entire world. They’re widely considered unkillable, immortal.

And the elder dragon may be hunting them too.

The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

About The Tao of Spock: How Vulcan Philosophy Intersects with Taoism In the Star Trek Universe by Dr. Joseph D. Di Lella

The beloved character of Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise has earned respect not only for his heroism and principled way of life, but also for the philosophical path of existence of his people he from Vulcan. Spock, a half-human, half-Vulcan, tries to live his life through the teaching of Surak – a non-violent branch of both Stoicism and Humanism. Through this approach with others, the Trek character shows his logical side, and yet there is another philosophical stance that often intersects with Spock’s behavior – Taoism.

Lao Tzu, a composite character of Chinese origin, also taught his followers how to approach life. Tzu’s Tao Te Ching deals with the areas of nature, political power, social interactions, family, and peace, among the most important areas of life humans must find their way.

Spock, a character from Gene Roddenberry, displays both the collective knowledge of Surak the Vulcan and Tzu the Chinese philosopher, as he helps Captain James T. Kirk and his fellow crew mates about the USS Enterprise as they explore the galaxy.

This book attempts to show you, the devoted Star Trek fan, how one Vulcan helped changed his universe through the teachings of Surak and Tzu in his search for peaceful co-existence even with the most vile and aggressive aliens, and humans, in the Alpha Quadrant.. If not for his efforts, the Roddenberry Universe would be a much more violent, war-like place.
The Tao of Spock will be discounted from a regular price of $7.99 to only 3.99 from April 22nd until May 11th only!

Night Hack

About Night Hack

A target of obsession…
Women murdered at random…
Can they figure it out before it’s too late?

She enjoyed life’s simple things—caring for her ailing mother, dinner dates with friends, and making the right career moves as a 911 operator. Who cared if Jana Elway didn’t have a man or still lived with her mother and brother? She was happy; that was all that mattered.

One evening, when he finally managed to pull himself from the job at a decent hour, a flirtatious encounter with a stranger leads Brycen Mathews to think there might be more to life than his dog, his immediate family, and his quarter stake in Nightshade Securities Inc.

When his co-worker, Shane Peters, shows up with a case that could use Brycen’s computer expertise, he doesn’t hesitate to jump at the task. His dedication to seeing it to the end is furthered when none other than his newest texting buddy walks through NSI’s doors.

For Brycen, two choices exist—life and happiness or death and misery. One thing is sure: catching a killer is always nasty business.

We Are Smoke

About We Are Smoke

We Are Smoke is a captivating mystery novel that spans three generations of the Burnett family.

Jack Burnett is the last of the Burnett men, and despite the fact that three generations of Burnett men have died on the eve of their 40th Christmas, he never believed in curses. However, when he suddenly disappears while trying to uncover the truth behind his family’s curse in Italy, it’s up to his best friend, Nora Rodgers, to find him before it’s too late.

As Nora sets out to find Jack, she must confront her own grief and come to terms with her feelings for Jack. As she wanders through the great cities of Italy, retracing Jack’s steps, a new picture of her former lover begins to develop—of a man wrestling with sadness, a sadness that reaches palpably into Nora’s very soul. Could she be remembering Jack wrong? Even more, could she be remembering her own history wrong? Could she and Jack not only have been former lovers, but married as well? Questioning her own sanity, Nora is plunged deeper into a mystery involving the marginalized Romany people of Europe, a century-old grudge, and a riddle with Nora seemingly at its center.

Part psychological thriller, part meditation on grief and loss, We Are Smoke is a literary fever dream that blurs the lines between reality, self-mythology, and the lies we tell ourselves to make sense of our worlds. We Are Smoke delves deeply into the rich history of and culture of the Romany people.
