Here’s the set-up:

A 3.5 year mission from which they’ll never return, a 2.5 million lightyear journey to another galaxy, a 1.5 member crew comprising a solitary captain and a half-baked AI…

Captain Sideris is a loner and knows LETO ships like nobody else, having risen to command the Lunar-Earth construction fleet, as they build ships to mine asteroids and colonize Mars. Suddenly he finds the colonization effort is for another planet, in another galaxy, and he’s the sole human guinea pig being gated through a wormhole with an AI playing Noah to LETO SS Casindra’s ark.

Everything goes well as he starts to survey four planets they plan to exploit, as he gets to know emergent AI ‘Al’, as he discovers he’s building a special relationship with empathic cat ‘Simba’. Problem is message drones gated home are not being returned per protocol, with little explanation, no supplies, and some cryptic and disturbing messages.

This full length novel reminiscent of Clarke and Asimov is set in the multi-author multi-genre Paradisi universe. Casindra Lost opens the Lost Mission Series which explains what happened to some of the early missions that underlie the various Paradisi colonization and post-colonization stories. Welcome to the Paradisi Chronicles…

‘A classic sci-fi saga with a strong emphasis on all that’s technical in space travel. Fans of The Martian will probably love it!’ – The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

Emily and Elizabeth spend their childhood locked in a bedroom and terrorized by a mother who drinks too much and disappears for days. The identical twins are rescued by a family determined to be their saviors.

Here’s the set-up:

I’ve been searching for my mate. For my destiny. For the female who is somewhere on Tajss…

Khabri

The Zmaj race was dying when humans crashed landed on our planet. Since the moment their coming was revealed to the Order, I’ve known that one of the females is my mate. My treasure. All I want is her and the beautiful, perfect babies we will have together.

When at long last I find her, there can be no mistaking our connection. My dragon roars with possessive need and the claim is made.

Except she has other ideas. She doesn’t believe in destiny and says she isn’t interested in making babies with me.

The Invaders are threatening all of Tajss, thrusting our peoples into war. I must survive these battles if I am to have a chance at winning the one that matters. The war for Anna’s heart.

Anna

My village has been overrun by four-armed invaders and we’ve all been forced to flee towards the city.

We’re struggling to survive pursuit over the grueling desert sands of Tajss when a crazy, overly muscled, overly sexy, and overly direct alien dragon-man shows up and tells me I’m his fated mate and we’re going to make beautiful babies.

I don’t think so.

Except he is sexy. And kind. And protective. And he might be the only hope I have of living. Can I put my past beliefs behind me, navigate a war and deal with losing my heart all at the same time?

Celebrate the 20th book in the Red Planet Dragons of Tajss series! The couple’s story in Dragon’s Destiny is stand-alone with an HEA, but the story of planet Tajss is told over the entire series. It is a science fiction romance with a stubborn alien and an equally stubborn human female, plenty of action-packed adventure, and hot, steamy alien romance!

Here’s the set-up:

Do you feel like you’re always running around without a moment to rest?

Are you constantly busy with a job that demands too much of your time and an equally demanding social life? Do you then find yourself lying awake at night unable to sleep because of your overactive thoughts?

If so, this book is exactly what you need.

Clutter is everywhere in our lives. It is present in our homes, our schedules, our jobs, our relationships, our use of technology, and, most importantly, our minds. While plenty has been said about the benefits of decluttering your home through minimalist interior design, not nearly as much has been said about decluttering other aspects of your life. Despite this, the damaging effects of clutter on our psyches are clear. When we lead chaotic, unorganized lives, we are prone to worry, anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking.

If we want to quell our restless thoughts, we need to start by fixing the root of the problem. More specifically, we need to look at the ways that clutter invades our lives and take steps to reduce its presence. Through this process, we can achieve a calmer mind and a more peaceful life free from the damaging effects of clutter.

Minimalists believe that living a clutter-free life is the path to achieving long-lasting happiness. The environment we live in can have a significant psychological effect on us. When we live a cluttered life, our thoughts become cluttered as well, making it difficult to achieve clarity on our goals and desires. By extending this basic principle of minimalism to include all sources of clutter, not just junk piles in our homes, we can remove negative influences from all areas of our lives.

Inside How to Declutter Your Mind: Secrets to Stop Overthinking, Relieve Anxiety, and Achieve Calmness and Inner Peace, you will discover:

The many forms clutter uses to disguise itself in your life
How living a cluttered life sabotages your well-being and future
How technology is sabotaging your mind
Secrets to decluttering your mind
How to declutter other aspects of your life -including your daily tasks, responsibilities, environment, and mind
Full of actionable tips and strategies
And so much more!
You might not think of your life as full of clutter. You might not even notice the role clutter plays in holding you back from achieving your true potential. But once your eyes are opened to the danger that clutter poses, you’ll see why it’s so imperative that we deal with the problem now before it can get any worse. If left unchecked, clutter can lead to frequent exhaustion and burnout. Excessive clutter in your environment, mind, and lifestyle can leave you feeling so worn-down that you end up simply along for the ride in your own life.

You can free yourself from the seemingly endless cycle of frantic days and sleepless nights. You can shape the life you want to live.

Patricia Highsmith’s second novel The Price of Salt dealt with an obsessive lesbian relationship in an era of homophobia so severe her agent warned of career suicide.

Patricia Highsmith slept with a man experimentally, much as one tries tripe to see if one develops a taste for it” says Peter Wells from The Spinoff… Support our news coverage by subscribing to our Kindle Nation Daily Digest. Joining is free right now!

Graham Greene called her ‘the poet of ambiguity’. He was tipping his hat to another author who specialized in a kind of moral gloom striated by tension, crackling with sexual electricity. Patricia Highsmith is best known as a crime writer whose bent arrow novels have been snatched up for the silver screen. Hitchcock the master was the first in the queue, paying her a measly $7500 with no further rights for that wriggling can of worms, her debut novel, Strangers on a Train (1950). This novel set the pattern really, for tales of obsessive gazing, double identities told in a swift and economic narrative style. The truly astonishing thing is that Highsmith’s next novel was the small and daring masterpiece The Price of Salt, now reissued and retitled as Carol, to tie in with the new movie version starring Cate Blanchett.

Everything about this novel is unusual. Its title, first of all. It was usual for lesbian novels of the time to be plangent, almost complaining – as in I Walk Alone. Other titles aimed for a kind of sexual tease that allowed women but also randy straight males to toy with the possibilities – Dormitory Women, I Prefer Girls‘. But this was where Price of Salt with its nod to literary values (the title it came from a line in Gide’s The Counterfeiters) was also unusual.

The book fitted within a context of almost underground lesbian writing of the 1950s – yet it sold a million copies. The novel was a great hit in anyone’s terms, despite Highsmith’s agent telling her she was committing career suicide by following up a successful debut with something so overt. This is where the novel is so innovative. It doesn’t have any of the usual period hesitations, explanations, parentheses. One leaps straight into the candour of an open heart. The word lesbian is never mentioned, however. Rather, one is taken into the emotions of a 19-year-old woman hungry for a certain kind of love. She has a boyfriend, of Russian descent who is boringly decent and morally blind. They are part of the demimonde of New York art wannabes.
