  The obliteration of the settlers' ark hasn’t gone without consequence—the ancients have struck back. Anomalies have vanished, all the higher-ranking Nascent Gods have fallen, and the passage between the Tiers has been sealed. 
   
   
   
  Cultists are on the rise, determined to destroy everything that remains. The world is spiraling into chaos, ruled by a single law: kill or be killed. Yet the Seekers refuse to back down or surrender to fate. When the whole world stands against you, it only means one thing—there will be plenty of spoils! 
   
   
   
  For the Heavens would accept nothing less!

  Escaping Los Angeles for a weekend is hard enough. 
  Escaping Los Angeles during an apocalypse? That's next to impossible. 
  When there's nobody left to care, when civilization has turned on itself, when your friends and family are dead or gone, who do you have left to depend on? What if you never learned to depend on someone? In a catastrophic event, your life might just depend on it. Dragging along a police officer, a car thief and a disabled military veteran can prove to be even more of a challenge than someone like her could ever have imagined, but the challenges keep piling up. From a murder in a park to an attack in a hospital, the story never stops moving. She's a determined, bull headed, independent woman who's been on her own since childhood. She's seen the worst of humanity her entire life. Living through an apocalypse would be nothing new. Depending on others is another story all together. Book one of a three part series, "The Unlikely" is sure to grab your attention from start to finish and leave you wanting more. 
  "A see-saw of emotions runs through reading this apocalyptic adventure, but excitement rules the day." - Philip Zozzaro

  You can't orchestrate true love…can you?  
  Spellmaster Geraldine Hartford has everything she could want — a successful spell shop and close friends and family — but she's still waiting on her own swoon-worthy romance. Her friends think their matchmaking efforts are helping, but it's the tall, handsome stranger in town who immediately catches Gerry's eye.  
  Basil Thorne's life has turned upside down. After his father's death, he's found himself uprooted from Bath to become the head of a family he barely knows. Overwhelmed by responsibilities, not to mention the clamor of Tutting-on-Cress locals wishing to befriend him — only the lovely spellmaster with a twinkling smile seems to soothe Basil's heart. 
  And he's not the only one who's noticed… 
  Soon it seems as though everyone in Gerry and Basil's lives is determined to match them up. But Gerry is waiting for the surefire spark of romance and Basil is waiting until his life settles down.  
  They may be perfect for each other, but it will take some meddling — and a bit of magic — to bring them together. 
  This book is the fifth installment in the series Meddle & Mend. It can be read after Dear Bartleby or as a standalone.

  This short story was first written and published in the year 1957, as part of a collection of short science fiction stories in the collection Astounding Science Fiction. Piper's story is unusual in focusing on the problem of archaeology on an alien culture. How is is possible to decipher writings of an alien race that died out 50,000 years ago? What could we possibly have in common with them? There can be no 'Rosetta Stone' with a shared language so is it impossible? That is the struggle of the protagonist and against all odds she does indeed find a way for our two cultures to meet. An excellent story well written.
