  What would you do if you found a rare magical animal? 
  Nico, who has just begun passing as a transgender man, relishes the quiet life working as a bonsai bodyguard. But during a chance encounter one night amidst the aftermath of a territory dispute, he meets Brant, an excitable, good-natured cookie guard, and the two strike an instant friendship. They form an irresistible bond with Gustopher, a baby gargoyle in need, setting off on a thrilling 3-day adventure to rescue the creature and reunite it with its rightful owner. 
  As they set out on their mission, the mismatched duo encounter predicaments unusual to new foster parents. Unscrupulous enemies lurk in the shadows, eager to exploit Gustopher on the black market. In order to ensure Gus's safety, Nico and Brant must quickly learn how to nurture (what do gargoyles eat, anyway?) and safeguard their newfound charge. Fortunately, their journey leads them to encounter Remi the vampire, an eccentric cheese guard from Wisconsin, and Jasper, a seasoned traveler, who faithfully accompanies the renowned Manley Cup, the cherished trophy of a championship hockey team. 
  Together, this peculiar quartet must combine their unique talents navigating both gargoyle-raising and crime-boss hunting. As they traverse the mountain metropolis of Multnomah, their hidden secrets gradually come to light, forging unbreakable bonds and solidifying their motley chosen family. And in the midst of it all, Gustopher surprises them with delightful…qualities, adding an extra dose of astonishment everywhere they go.

  Unchipped: The Last American - A...

  In a world increasingly immersed in AI and technological augmentation, we might do well to consider how the not-too-distant future may unfold. From the book's back cover: 
  "They took the world over right before our eyes, using tools that promised to make things better for all of us. We watched it happen. We helped them." -- from my Grandfather's first book, The Last American. 
  Forty three minutes ago, as I was scavenging in what I thought was an abandoned West Ginny mine, a destroyer drone sealed the entrance for no apparent reason. Leaving me to contemplate the end of it all. 
  Not far from where I sit, there is a caricature of bones on the ground. Someone's sick joke, or a homage to the end of life itself. Or perhaps a warning. And then, deeper in the cavern, I hear muffled moans. A faint squeal. A small girl--no, a thirteen year-old woman--emerges. She seems rude at first, but we are fast becoming friends. She is lovely. And special. And soon I learn why she is here, hiding from the privilege she was born into. 
  Am I now to fulfill the prophecy my parents laid upon my head? Do I dare fall into that made-up story in service of a girl I just met? A girl I love right from the start? 
  The journey to Sanctuary cuts across the wilds of West Ginny and through more than a few places where chippers will be watching for whatever reward their masters have levied upon this girl's head. And then through the unnamed revolution that my brother and parents fight. I have longed for adventure, but hoped to nibble at its edges before sinking my teeth full in. But I have taken her under my charge and made her my sister. I have made a promise. 
  And promises must needs be kept

  It was my freshman year when my best friend introduced me to the spring festival in Hawthorne University. I was studying for finals, but she said everyone, absolutely everyone, goes to Beltane. Because Hawthorne is weird. 
  Men in red paint jumped flames. Ladies in white dresses with lovely flower garlands awaited the May Queen. But none of that interested me—until I decorated a tree with a super cute guy. We danced around the tree and had so much fun. 
  But then I saw fire. And within the flames were disturbing images. Even with the spark between me and my new stranger, it had to end. I think that was the day my witchcraft began—you know, the fire that burns in my heart and soul. 
  Cadence Hawthorne returns in this novelette prequel taking place before Broomstick, the first novel in The Hawthorne University Witch Series. This short story first appeared exclusively as a free ebook for subscribers of the author's monthly newsletter and on A.L. Hawke's website. 
  Content Warning: Beltane Fire is a short story containing profanity, sexual scenes, adult situations, and, of course, witchcraft.

  Beneath the North Atlantic, something is stirring. 
  When Dr. Ava Tan and her research team aboard the Rusalka detect unexplained anomalies deep beneath the ocean’s surface—electromagnetic pulses, erratic temperature shifts, and an eerie rhythmic tapping—they launch an expedition that will redefine everything humanity knows about the deep. 
  Their mission takes a chilling turn when their submersible, Barracuda-2, stumbles upon a massive submerged structure—a craft of unknown origin buried beneath the ocean floor. As they push further into the abyss, they awaken forces that were never meant to be disturbed. 
  With a paramilitary task force closing in to claim the discovery for shadowy interests, Ava and her crew must race against time to unravel the secrets of the craft before it falls into the wrong hands—or before it decides to resurface on its own. 
  Packed with heart-pounding suspense, cutting-edge science, and an unraveling mystery that reaches beyond Earth itself, Deepwater Disclosure is a gripping sci-fi thriller that plunges readers into the abyss of the unknown. 
  For fans of The Abyss, Sphere, and The X-Files, this is a deep-sea mystery you won’t be able to put down.
