Here’s the set-up:

Do you like space operas? How about parodies? Maybe with some dark, twisted stories thrown in for good measure?

Then you’re in luck–The Insipid: Collected Stories has them all! It features the latest work from Audrey Swindon, an Amazon #1 Bestselling author. So let’s start with The Insidpid.

When Captain Karen Jarrett first spots The Insipid on the view screen of the USS Murakami, it looks like just another harmless encounter in the wilds of deep space. The Insipid appears to be a garbage scow of a ship, with no advanced weaponry and an exterior that seems to be in dire need of repair.

But Captain Jarrett is about to get the surprise of her life–and it’s not gonna be a good one. The Insipid does have one thing the Murakami doesn’t–a diabolically advanced computer system capable of some literary word tricks that could potentially bring the Murakimi to its knees. If you like parodies and you’ve enjoyed series like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and Firefly, you’ll LOVE what happens next.

That’s not all you’ll love about this collection, though. It also features some of Audrey Swindon’s best short stories and novellas that combine literary fiction, sci fi, horror and thrillers into a package of more dark, diabolical fun. If you’d like to get in on that fun, download the collection NOW and start enjoying the stories!

Here’s the set-up:

If you were to find yourself at the edge of a dying world with a lingering sense of reality, would you simply fade into the nothingness or would you fight for everything you hold dear? This assertive question is at the heart of the thought-provoking book Ubiety, for this abstract book was designed to help people emerge into reality and find the truth whilst questioning both what could and should be.

Join Adam in a whirlwind of past and present madness, diving into the many mysteries which will uncover bittersweet secrets to see if he can save his fate and somehow put the chaos set in his mind at rest. However, be aware, this will certainly not be an easy read but remember that some of the greatest fortunes lie on the darkest paths.

Here’s the set-up:

A captivating novel about a life fluctuating between reality and imagination, and a disease which takes over the thought process and is half-mental, half-physical, thus propelling the readers to recall pivotal moments in their own lives.

A brittle and courageous self-portrait of an artist on the brink of her fifties as she battles tormenting thoughts which scurry uncontrollably through the dark crevices of her mind, faint fears of missing out, the extinguishing of the body, the loss of beauty and memory, and the dread over the demise of love and life.

Perhaps She Only Imagined It is a sequence of memories and pivotal moments in the life of the heroine, shifting between the real and the imaginary, truth and delusion, through thoughts which intertwine life and death, and alongside all – a great love which affords her an anchor and a sanctuary.

A tale of love and madness which will make readers examine and re-evaluate their own lives.

Here’s the set-up:

From New York Times bestselling author Jana DeLeon, the first in a new thriller series.

Everyone wondered about Shaye Archer’s past. Including Shaye.

Shaye Archer’s life effectively began the night police found her in an alley, beaten and abused and with no memory of the previous fifteen years, not even her name. Nine years later, she’s a licensed private investigator, with a single goal—to get answers for her clients when there aren’t supposed to be any.

And maybe someday, answers for herself.

Emma Frederick thought her nightmare was over when she killed her abusive husband, but someone is stalking her and tormenting her with mementos from her past. With no evidence to support her claims, the police dismiss her claims as post-traumatic stress, but Shaye is convinced that someone is deliberately terrorizing Emma…playing a cat and mouse game with only one goal in mind.

To kill Emma.

Here’s the set-up:

A family have pulled apart when Charlie Little decides to up and leave his wife and child, Meg and Nelly, in search of something better.
But nearly three years later things have changed, and Meg is no longer the shy wife plus Nelly has taken a significant overdose of eight-year-old girl attitude. Both aren’t prepared to be sweet-talked by a man who merely broke their hearts. And they are seeking love from other quarters to the dismay of some.
The goal posts have changed as the remaining Little women, including Charlie’s mum and aunt, now have to adjust to the appearance of a man who now wants his family back. And Meg’s mother is a less forgiving woman!
Told from Meg, Charlie and most importantly, Nelly’s viewpoint, it’s a funny story about bad choices, and how, if ever possible, you can rekindle a Little love, eventually.
