I Need a Hero by Ron Clamp (soft cover)

$20.95

While salvaging equipment in the Arizona desert, Commander Charlie Jackson receives orders from Space Command to take his crew and the Perseus, a low-orbit repair unit, to the Strivo Corridor to destroy the supply lines feeding the latest Obsidian invasion. Charlie and his brother and third-in-command, Jacob, also receive a mysterious second mission. 

Despite his wife Maddie’s objections and the fact that he is nearing retirement, Charlie accepts the mission. With the Obsidians one step ahead and the possibility of never returning home, the crew of the Perseus takes on the monumental task. Additionally, Charlie finds himself making enemies left and right—including Space Command. 

Secrets from Maddie’s past are also brought to light, and the rewards on her head soon rival those on the Perseus. She is now alone and on the run, and Charlie, who is lightyears away, must find a

way to return to Earth to rescue her and be the hero he’s always wanted to be for her.

Eddie's Boy by Robert Schwab (Soft Cover)

If the things you count on can vanish, then can you really count on anything?


In the time it takes him to drive through a stoplight at the Four Corners of Law, Dr. Landon Ratliff-distracted by the finest birthday present he's ever received and won't remember-has his midlife crisis delivered to him in an instant. 


Then when his father, with whom he has never been close, is diagnosed with a terminal condition, Landon goes home to be with family. His resulting journey through illness, injury, suffering, healing, love, and redemption takes him to places he's visited before and places he never thought he'd be. And, for the first time, he doesn't have to travel alone.


Written with ease and eloquence, Eddie's Boy explores the things we take for granted, and the things we never knew we had.

Four days later, the body of a young woman named Wendy Allen is discovered in a cornfield not far from where Billy was killed. After having been snatched while running, she was raped, tortured, and killed.

No one can make a connection between the killings, the investigation at the sheriff’s department flounders, and the families of the victims have to intervene. Now it’s up to Boggs, a disgraced cop turned private detective, to find the murderer—or murderers.

Guardians of the Keys (HARD COVER) by Megan J. Wheless

$29.99

After losing her two beloved great-aunts in a car accident, small-town librarian Elaine Colemar discovers a skeleton key in their antiques store. When she reads the foreign phrase engraved on it, the key’s imprint burns into her hand. Clearly Elaine’s stress is getting to her—her aunts are dead, she’s drowning in debt, each contact with the key leaves her disoriented—and now she’s seeing things … right? 

After meeting with Edmund Wallace, an esteemed professor and the director of a local history museum, Elaine seizes an opportunity to rid herself of the key—and alleviate her financial woes—by selling it to him for a generous sum. It is only when the key and Professor Wallace go missing that Elaine learns about her aunts’ connection to an ancient Apothecary’s Guild and the story of the five keys, which are portals to mystical places.

Knowing she must finish the task her aunts started, Elaine sets off to locate the missing source key before dark purposes prevail.

The Wall (Book 5 of Sanctuary Chronicles) Soft Cover by Greg Rode

$15.95

They hold their place, a grisly array of the dead, finally a true army in front of us … we’re in a crapload of trouble no matter how much damage the mines and minigun are going to do.


Winter lurks just around the corner, and our little group is reluctant to spend it in upstate New York, freezing our asses off in the cabins again. Head south for the cold season? Why not? Maybe true sanctuary can be found at the beach. It’s worth a try, so we split up-Morgan and Bob go ahead first while everyone else comes with me to investigate some suspicious morning thunder.


There’s our first mistake.


Two new members join us but at a heartbreaking cost. Bob and Morgan nearly run out of gas and are lucky enough to find help before discovering horrid secrets and enemies in the woods. But we eventually make it to the beach, where it’s all fun in the sun and sand. Sanctuary at last.


Yeah, right.


We have been through a lot over the years, but this time, we face a horde larger than ever, led by an alpha who is far more powerful than all the others put together.


This is the end, one way or another, no matter the cost.

One by Greg Rode

$14.95

“The rest of northern Pennsylvania is peaceful and dead quiet, and it isn’t long before we hit the border and the “Welcome to New York” sign. The Empire State, once mighty and arguably home to the most important city in the world, now brought to its knees in a virtual blink of an eye. I picture what the City must have been like at the end-lots of people means lots of zombies, and the carnage must have been horrifying and rapid. This is why we seek the much quieter northern section; no sense staying in the southern, heavily-populated areas and inevitably running into more former bankers-turned-flesh-eating-monsters than we can handle.”


Okay ….


We managed to kill the zombie queen and her horde, but it’s still time to leave North Carolina. In the past, there was nothing quite like a road trip, so we’re heading to upstate New York. I know the area, and while it’ll be really damn cold there in the winter without power, it should give us a break from any other monsters for a few months, since if they’re outside, they’ll be zombiesicles. And, since nobody’s actually been moving to upstate New York in a really long time, how much trouble can we get into?


As it turns out, plenty.


DeeDee, Eve, and Amelie come along in the search for sanctuary, but the journey is unlike anything we’ve had to deal with before. It turns out New York isn’t as quiet as I thought it would be. Not only are there more leveled-up zombies hanging around, but we also have to deal with other humans, and we’re not sure we can trust all of them. There are tough decisions to make, a group to protect, battles to fight, and none of it is going to be easy.


But it’s going to be fine. Everything will work out as long as we all stay together.


Here we go again.

Shotgun Finish Book 1 of the Sanctuary Chronicles (Soft Cover) by Greg Rode

$14.95

“It came pretty damn fast, though I couldn’t tell you what the source was. One minute, everything was ‘fine,’ and then we all went down the proverbial toilet faster than my Challenger R/T goes from zero to sixty.”


… Seriously?


All I wanted to do was spend a few peaceful hours on the golf course. I’d been cooped up inside my house for months and it was boring as hell. (And sure, a little lonely too.) I just wanted to get a quiet round in and pretend it was a perfectly normal day.

 

But no. 

 

These damn zombies are relentless, not to mention much smarter, faster, and more organized than I expected. And then they go and drop off some roommates on my doorstep. Normally, I’d be happy for the company, but between the eclectic trio of women and the jackass guy they delivered, they are more than a handful. Oh, and the zombie leader-because that’s a new thing-has given me an unspeakable deadline. 

 

I’ve only got a few weeks to figure out how to save everyone, kill the zombie horde, find some sanctuary, and not lose my friggin’ mind in the process. 


Oh yeah. This’ll be fun.

Gathering by Greg Rode

$15.95

"I stand at the foot of the porch steps and stare mindlessly out across the lake I've looked over my entire life, trying to find comfort in the view and the memories of all that has happened. It's hard to conjure up an optimistic view of the future. 

Only a few days have passed since first Top, then Amelie, and then DeeDee have been removed from my life (and theirs). I haven't spent the time doing much other than moping around the family property that now feels even bigger than when I was a child."

How did it all go so wrong? 

We were a team. A group of survivors ready to take down anything that came our way. But in less than a day, they were all gone. Now it's just me and the dog. I'm left wondering about my future. What do I do now? Should I stay in case Eve comes looking for me? Should I leave and go look for her? Does it matter? 

I worry about Eve. 

She stayed behind to take care of her dying father, but there's no way he is going to last long, and a nasty winter is coming. Without heat and company, will she make it? She's probably cold and alone in a house with a dead body.

My big sister, Morgan, is one of the precious few people left who made it through the zombie apocalypse and is heading my way. She's far out west, but once she puts her mind to something, almost nothing can stop her. Not zombies, not a group of humans sheltering themselves and their secrets behind the walls of a madcap fortress, and not even a pirate.

Survivors and zombies alike are gathering. And no one will be able to predict what's coming.

Time for round three.

Sanctuary by Greg Rode (Book 4 of Sanctuary Chronicles)

$15.95

"We have no clue what we're about to discover, but it will lead us to everything else."

The good news: we finally killed all the local zombies. The not-as-good news: I've been bitten. But assuming all goes well, and no one has to shoot me in the face, we'll finally have peace, quiet, and sanctuary ... until we decide to go play golf, where we make a stomach-turning discovery and run headlong into a deeply traumatic experience from Morgan's past. And Morgan being Morgan, this means she's going to pick a fight, which turns into another (reluctant) group road trip.

We're going to go back to the fortress she stopped at on her cross-country trip and save the people trapped there from Marcus, his thugs, and their twisted ideas, even though we're outnumbered like usual. We've got a solid plan to rescue the people who want to leave and bring them back with us. Then everything will be totally great. Of course, nothing is simple or goes according to plan. 

It's a battle on two fronts this time—one against humans, the other against zombies--and it's going to take everything we have to survive.

It's kill or be killed.

Higher Education: Chronicles of a Dumpster Fire by Dr. Ashley Oliphant

$18.95

Dr. Livie Green is an associate professor of English at Clary-Smith University and it’s fixing to snap her very last nerve. While Green and her wickedly sharp colleagues attempt to keep the school’s dysfunction from driving them to drink (any more than they already do in faculty meetings), their feckless dean works jigsaw puzzles in his office, and schedules utterly useless meetings to pass the time. Meanwhile, the even more aimless administration attempts to shut down the scandalous—but totally true—underground faculty newspaper that exposes the ineptitude of the institution’s leaders at every turn. 


Author of five books and a professor with twenty years of college teaching experience, Dr. Ashley Oliphant drops the mic on academia in this uproariously funny prequel to Jimmy Buffett: A Key West Revival, and offers comedic insight into the unfortunate state of higher education in America today.

In Search of Jimmy Buffett: A Key West Revival by Ashley Oliphant

$14.95

Much to her mother’s dismay, Carolina girl Livie Green has long resisted the Southern débutante lifestyle, opting instead for cheap cigars, Ernest Hemingway novels, and Jimmy Buffett’s early albums. But when her career as a college professor becomes a drudgery of meetings and reports, she realizes that academia might not be for her, either. In a leap of banana-colada fueled faith, she heads to Key West, Florida in search of Buffett and a carefree lifestyle. What she finds instead will reshape and revitalize her life and her heart.

Fearless by Paula Dáil (Hard Cover)

$32.00

Having grown up the oldest of seven children in a motherless, impoverished, Southside Chicago Irish-Catholic family, at age seventeen Maggie Corrigan struggles with two choices: marriage and bearing more children than she can possibly care for, or entering the convent. She decides to dedicate her life to God, but never forgets her roots, or that her mother died in childbirth after too many pregnancies. As the Church’s Vatican II reforms and the wider women’s movement takes hold, she realizes that by labeling birth control as a sin and abortion as murder, the patriarchal Catholic Church is severely endangering women’s lives. Never doubting her vocation, she decides she can no longer remain silent and, no matter the personal cost, is compelled to take up the fight for women’s reproductive rights within the wealthiest, most powerful institution in the world—ruled over by a cabal of middle-aged men with no familial responsibilities. Some label her a heretic and others call her a saint, but everyone agrees that Sister Maggie Corrigan is fearless. Inspired by a true story, Fearless is a gripping and empowering tale about one woman’s perseverance in the face of patriarchal and religious oppression.
