  The Truth About Pyecraft by H. G. Wells is a witty and satirical tale blending humor with social critique. The story follows Mr. Pyecraft, an overweight, indolent member of a gentleman’s club, who seeks a magical remedy for weight loss. He convinces the narrator, a skeptical man of Indian descent, to share an ancient family recipe. To Pyecraft’s dismay, the potion works too well—instead of losing weight, he becomes weightless, floating uncontrollably. The situation grows absurd as Pyecraft struggles to adapt, relying on weights and tethers to stay grounded. Wells uses this whimsical premise to mock vanity, indulgence, and colonial attitudes, while exploring themes of unintended consequences. A blend of comedy and sharp observation, The Truth About Pyecraft offers a lighthearted yet incisive commentary on human folly and societal pretensions.

  There is no such thing as a coincidence in an infinite multiverse. Each action happens, it is inevitable. It was bound to occur, somewhere, sometime. Or, more elegantly put: It is destiny, 
  While Nina Marks may have found her way back home after being kidnapped across the multiverse, her alter-egos are now in danger. The technology needed to travel the multiverse exists in at least 4 known universes, and perhaps more. How can Nina, now stuck in Universe Alpha keep all the infinite universes safe from those looking to exploit this technology? And, if the weight of protecting parallel universes wasn’t enough on her shoulders, she is the primary suspect in the disappearance of Dr. Parker Lovett.  
  Can Nina exonerate herself without exposing the secrets of The Portal? Can she trust her alter-egos to keep watch on their entry point to the multiverse? Can she just get through the first week at her new job without having to worry about the fate of all people living across the infinite universes? 
  Read The Alpha-Nina, the second book in The Feminina Series, and the anxiously awaited sequel to The Infinite-Infinite to find out.

  Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy. 
  She didn't expect corruption, incompetence, and murder. 
  Lumina was a "Small-Town" space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post. 
  Boone had barely unpacked her duffel before it all went wrong. She had thought, way out here, there would be less death, and she would be able to keep her secrets. 
  She quickly learned that this far out on the edge of the universe, the only law was the law you brought with you. 
  Who could she trust? More accurately... 
  What could she trust?...
