About The Adventurers of Jimmy Crikey: Radioactive! by Wallace E Briggs
Jimmy Crikey, the orphaned alien who chose to make his life on Earth, is not magical, but he has unique skills that come in useful when his family of friends in Roombelow need help.
Roombelow is suffering from the aftereffects of the rock-chewing Scarab beatles that undermined the town and the world of the Diamites, and even the water-world of the Aquamites is crumbling.
Unexpectedly, a hole appeared in the centre of the Aquamites’ Emerald Lake. Not only does the lake begin to empty, but thirty Aquamites have been swept away in the flow and end up in the lake belonging to the Tritians.
Rescue cannot come soon enough because the Tritians live in a radioactive environment that poisons the young Aquamites, and Jimmy’s close friend Annison is seriously in trouble.
Jimmy organises for the young Aquamites to be rescued by his technologically advanced home race in the star world of Attalia. Twenty-eight Aquamites were saved, but one was beyond help. To Jimmy’s dismay, Annison refused treatment until all her friends had been treated. As a result, the Attalians could not save her. Annison slipped into a coma from which they could not revive her.
Is Annison doomed to a living death, or can Jimmy call upon aid from a higher authority?

About Natural World Restoration by Adebola Adekiitan
This is an inspirational book written under the guidance of God. The end of the ‘wicked and artificial’ world is imminent. The revelation on Natural World represents the way God intended for our existence on earth. The essence of humanity is to enhance the value of nature, not in terms of money, but to live a life that radiates joy and happiness to all. The organization structure of the Natural world has been highlighted. Issues relating to poverty eradication, governance, religion, marriage, child adoption, family wealth, wars, the wellness of the body, mind and spirituality are of great importance to the Natural World. An incomprehensible sense of euphoria accompanies the knowledge of the Natural World. This understanding offers a vision of a joyous world where a quality life is guaranteed, provided that citizens rise to the occasion and adhere to the guidelines presented in this book. I envisage brighter and more civilized societies, free from poverty, enslavement, wars, terrorism, racism, and the many other vices currently plaguing the world.

About A Nation Born
Not all world powers hold the best intentions, especially when precious resources are at stake. Just ask Maggie McCoy — a grieving mother who has borne loss upon loss at the hands of Australian officials on her native Norfolk Island, a 14-square-mile territory in the vast Pacific Ocean.
Maggie has lost a husband and a sister, along with hundreds of neighbors, to a crisis exacerbated by government neglect. Once the same government causes a more painful loss, revenge is her only path forward. A violent independence struggle for her island home becomes a useful vehicle for payback. Her oldest son, Nate, has a world-changing discovery that can help fund the fight, but only if Nate and Maggie can conquer the gulf of abandonment between them.
A Nation Born is a female-driven political thriller with elements of military technothriller and flourishes of cyberpunk dystopia. It becomes a tragic lesson in “being careful what you wish for.” Most of all, this is a story of a broken family healing itself.
“What makes A Nation Born such a compelling political thriller is its plausibility. Eric Smith’s compassion for the people and landscape of Norfolk Island is matched by his capacity for weaving together geopolitics, pandemics, and the rapacious greed of corporations and countries. We have witnessed in our lifetimes how the passion of a people for their homeland will push even the mightiest military to its knees.”

About The 12 Kittens of Christmas by Amy Lane
Killian Thornton likes his downtown life, tending bar, and enjoying time with his friends and community. He’d given up on passion long ago—he wasn’t cut out for grand romance or dramatic gestures. Then one night, in a characteristic act of kindness, Killian offers his couch to help a friend’s little brother find his feet in a new city, and everything Killian thought he knew about himself and his little life gets turned upside down.
Lewis Bernard, the funny, quirky guy happy to find a spot on Killian’s couch, can’t believe his luck. After being forced to flee his parents’ house, he was afraid of what came next, but Sacramento seems to be treating him just fine. The stunningly handsome bartender who lives downstairs from his brother offers Lewis his couch and doesn’t even balk when Lewis discovers two abandoned kittens in a vacant lot as they walk home.
Vet bills, cat food bills, litter boxes—none of it was on Killian’s Christmas agenda, but he jumps in gamely to help because all the shelters seem to be full, and that’s just the kind of guy Killian is. But kittens can multiply faster than rabbits, and Killian and Lewis accidentally rescue more and more cats.
Lewis starts to panic. He really wants to know Killian better, but with each act of kindness, Lewis falls further in love while ruining Killian’s life. How can Killian find time to fall in love with Lewis and ask him to stay if they’re inundated with destructive furry poop-machines who all seem to need a home before Christmas?
