The Liar’s Crown

About The Liar’s Crown

Snow White meets Beauty & the Beast in this upper YA fantasy trilogy about twin sisters—one born to rule, and one kept hidden…until she sacrifices her life to protect her sister. But when a Shadowraith kidnaps the wrong girl, the unexpected draw between them becomes the most dangerous secret of all.

Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Leigh Bardugo will be blown away by the first in this epic upper YA romantasy series, which is sure to take the YA reading community by storm!

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose—to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present.

Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift—an eerily familiar gift—and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation. Which is why, when a figure made of shadow kidnaps the new queen, he gets me by mistake.

As I try to escape, all the lies start to unravel. And not just my lies. The Shadowraith who took me has secrets of his own. He struggles to contain the shadows he wields—other faces, identities that threaten my very life.

Winter is at the walls. Darkness is looming. And the only way to save my sister and our dominion is to kill Eidolon…and the Shadowraith who has stolen my heart.

Armored Hours

About Armored Hours

Cable Girls meets Peaky Blinders meets Titanic

The girls had forged a bond together like iron that could not be broken. Claudia, Kiersten, Lina, and Florian were on the brink of making history with their powerful feminist movement, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Alexander was a desperate bootlegger who was willing to risk it all to search for them. Not only were they in cahoots with him to help smuggle feminist contraband and forbidden booze, but Claudia had also unknowingly captivated his heart. He vowed to find them at any cost, but little did he know that their disappearance was part of a much bigger and sinister plot from the upper echelons of society.

Set in 1920s Paris of the Plains, Armored Hours is a thrilling tale of love and mystery interwoven with hints of magical realism.

​

“Hansen does a great job with the pacing too, delivering intricate subplots of romance, political intrigue, and rebellion, and then gradually revealing a deeper, more sinister conspiracy, keeping readers on edge with suspense and emotional depth from cover to cover.” ~ 5-star review by Readers’ Favorite

Passionately Loving My Best Friend’s Father: An Age Gap Surprise Pregnancy Romance by Claire Kirby

A major earthquake. A tiny mountain town. A forbidden attraction.

The earth doesn’t just move—it dances—and I find myself in the arms of the most ruggedly alluring man I’ve ever seen.

Paul Fuller—widowed, wealthy and, unbeknownst to me, my best friend’s father—comes to my rescue.

Trapped in a small mountain town by a devastating earthquake, he grudgingly offers me a bed in his luxurious mountain cabin until the roads are safe enough to travel.

Problem is, the roads are probably safer than the bed is and our primal instincts take over as his grumpy demeanor turns to tenderness and an unexpected love begins to grow.

For two exquisite days and nights, he takes me to heaven and back, echoing the ground’s violent tremors.

As aftershocks rattle the entire area, we face a seismic shift in our lives, as I discover this incredible man is actually my best friend’s father.

Paul gives me twins, but what I need is a future.

With his daughter’s disapproval pulling us apart, I worry our love will crumble when what we really need to be building is something as strong and enduring as the majestic peaks which surround us.

MOUTH

About MOUTH

Consumption drives everything, and what we do with our mouths reveals the hidden depths of our desires. MOUTH delves into the American obsession with consumption and the many ways we try to fill our emptiness. In these ten stories, characters are forced to face who they truly are when their hunger cannot be satisfied.

In “Hunger,” a newlywed desperate for motherhood secretly battles infertility and anorexia, while her husband trains as a competitive eater. “Fever” follows two siblings who, after losing their mother to alcoholism, cope with grief and addiction—one as a pearl diver in the Tennessee River, the other through gin. “Casualties of the Vainglorious” portrays a father and son navigating divorce and unemployment amid a tense Monopoly tournament. In “The Ovation,” a rodeo clown sabotages his best friend, a gold-buckle cowboy, as their partnership nears its end. A long-married couple grapples with fidelity and duty on their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary in “A Step Ahead of the Alligator.”

“Climate Change” tells the story of a vengeful car accident victim who manipulates his immobility to control his wife. In “You and Your Cold Soviet Heart,” an outdoorsman must choose between unwanted fatherhood with his pregnant fiancée or a seemingly simpler life with a mail-order bride. “Birds of Paradise” exposes the shocking depths of a woman’s romantic obsession with her best friend during a medical crisis. In “Refrain,” a jazz pianist risks everything to indulge in his darkest secret. And in “Jenny,” a voiceover artist wagers her happiness by publicly embracing life as a mermaid.

Perfectionism, alcoholism, infidelity—MOUTH asks, who are we when we hunger?

Quantum Reality, The Secret of Paranormal Powers by M.G. Hawking, Jenna Wolfe Ph.D.

About Quantum Reality, The Secret of Paranormal Powers by M.G. Hawking, Jenna Wolfe Ph.D.

The objective of this book is to present the information and knowledge necessary to enable a properly equipped individual to attain true “paranormal” powers. These abilities refer to the utilization of consciousness in a manner enabling a person to observe and manipulate a physical system without direct physical presence or interaction, capacities increasing recognized in the academic and scientific communities as part of the field of human ability.
“Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical terms, for consciousness is absolutely fundamental. Quantum physics reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Multiplicity is only apparent; in truth, there is only one mind.” —Erwin Schrödinger, Nobel Laureate
“The only acceptable point of view is the one that recognizes both sides of reality—the quantitative and the qualitative, the physical and the psychical—as compatible with each other, and can embrace them simultaneously. It would be most satisfactory of all if matter and mind could be seen as complementary aspects of precisely the same reality.” —Wolfgang Pauli, Nobel Laureate
“The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.” —Yogananda (A.D. 1893-1952)
Remarkable advancements in scientific research have provided new windows into consciousness and its powers. Since the development of quantum mechanics in the first part of the 20th century, progress has been made to understand consciousness and its “paranormal” abilities on the basis of the concepts of quantum physics.
The quantum world builds the classical world. Everything in our world is composed of microscopic units of energy—the quanta—acting in unison. Consciousness and its various mental abilities are part of that quantum physical universe. Since consciousness arises at the quantum level, the features of quantum physics are involved in, and represent explanations for, all the countless paranormal phenomena that have been observed through the ages, and which modern researchers consistently observe in experimental settings, including extrasensory perception and psychokinesis.
Both of the great revolutions in modern physics—relativity and quantum theory—have revealed key factors that play a fundamental role in the creation of what we perceive as physical reality. “All matter originates and exists only by virtue of the existence of consciousness. The mind is the matrix of all matter.” —Max Planck, originator of Quantum Mechanics, Nobel Laureate
The personal experience of many of our readers demonstrates that the knowledge presented in this book, when founded on a comprehension of scientific models of consciousness, offers the illumination which, with diligent study and practice, can enable the realization of very uncommon abilities. 2024 Edition, 30 sections, e-reader page count 380 (estimated, actual count varies with the reading device). Includes an Associated Material Anthology and Suggested Reading list. For more information, please see the ‘Read sample’ feature on the book’s Amazon page. Thank you.
