    Brother Tom, the young monk closest to him, is horrified by the suffering Peregrine’s illness has inflicted. He keeps his distance, out of his depth.

How will Tom respond to the terrible, secret promise his abbot asks him to make?

    From the multi-million-copy bestselling author of Wicked comes a magical new twist on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Lewis’s Carroll’s beloved classic. 
    When Alice toppled down the rabbit-hole 150 years ago, she found a Wonderland as rife with inconsistent rules and abrasive egos as the world she left behind. But what of that world? How did 1860s Oxford react to Alice’s disappearance? 
    In this brilliant work of fiction, Gregory Maguire turns his dazzling imagination to the question of underworlds, undergrounds, underpinnings—and understandings old and new, offering an inventive spin on Carroll’s enduring tale. Ada, a friend of Alice’s mentioned briefly in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, is off to visit her friend, but arrives a moment too late—and tumbles down the rabbit-hole herself. 
    Ada brings to Wonderland her own imperfect apprehension of cause and effect as she embarks on an odyssey to find Alice and see her safely home from this surreal world below the world. If Eurydice can ever be returned to the arms of Orpheus, or Lazarus can be raised from the tomb, perhaps Alice can be returned to life. Either way, everything that happens next is “After Alice.”

    What is a Latin Science Fiction? A book written by a Latin? Having Latins as main characters? Or maybe taking place in Latin locales? Whatever the case, this book covers it all. 
    Enter THE GLITCH, a high-tech sci-fi novel set in Latin cities; Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires. It is an unusual science fiction based on near future computer technology. 
    Set in a world where corporations have replaced governments, and justice is as quick as it is profitable. 
    Armando Ruiz, the main character, married the boss’s daughter for job security, position and wealth, but realized that a man who marries for money earns every penny of it. 
    Someone has put a damaging virus into the giant Folitech corporation computer system where Armando is the Senior Computer analyst. He does manage to inoculate the majority of the virus but a glitch remains, popping up occasionally. 
    One night, while seeking relief from the stress on the job and life, Armando discovers a new type of bar with 3-D holographic projections where he can converse with people in clubs 1,000’s of kilometers away, in Los Angeles, New York, Bombay, Buenos Aires, Lima, in any language. 
    It is in a Buenos Aires club where Armando meets Monica. She is like no other woman he’s ever met, she’s witty, intelligent, beautiful, and like him, a computer whiz. Armando becomes involved with her even over the kilometers and they share dreams and ideas, meeting on the sly. 
    Monica continues to learn more about Armando and their talk ranges from viruses to dark personal secrets and eventually, to murder with a planned clandestine rendezvous in the land down under. 
    This is a human story of long distance love via computer link with a glitch and a twist of its own.

    For fans of STORM AND FURY and MORTAL INSTRUMENTS. The Ascended Guardians series is a supernatural thrill ride that never lets up. 
    It’s been over ten years since fifteen-year-old Zoey Taylor wandered away from her family home in the middle of the night. Or so she’s been told, repeatedly, by her mother—but the only thing Zoey knows for sure is that when her older brother, Corinth, found her in the woods, safe and unharmed, she returned with a crippling fear of the dark and no other memories from those lost days—except strange flashes of sharp teeth and red-flaming hair. 
    Since that time, she’s become a star pupil and is on track to graduate early … if, and that’s a big IF, her overprotective family doesn’t get in the way of her dreams first. 
    But when one of the wealthiest, enigmatic philanthropists on the planet—Gabriel Stanton—shows up on her doorstep on Thanksgiving Day and reveals the truth about what really happened to her all those years ago, it completely shatters her perception of the world. 
    And the story isn’t anything like what she’s been told.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
     
    From their pens to your your ears.
