  What if your plan to save humanity was corrupted... by your own daughter? 
  It's 2085, the time of the Great Affliction. Continents are burning, land is disappearing, and humanity is destroying itself as mass shootings and suicides wipe out the population. 
  To Marjaana Salonen, the solution is found in high technology. By integrating the human brain with a sophisticated computer chip, she believes she can bring new hope to society. Her invention was supposed to fix it all, but Salonen's daughter has her own ideas. 
  To Laura, her mother's invention is an opportunity to impose her own vision on the world--the promise of a new reality that is far more sinister. 
  As her daughter's power grows, Marjaana must decide: remain loyal to her family no matter what, or stand up against the future? 
  Welcome to the Happiness-Program. A future where a single chip can give you everything... except for freedom.

  "Have you seen this?" An innocent enough question, asked millions of times around the world every day, but tonight it will lead to a shocking, violent event that destroys multiple lives. 
  Glaswegian forklift truck driver Jack is quietly enjoying his tea break when a friend shows him something on the internet. Outrage follows, quickly spreading through social media, and within hours an angry mob has formed to put the world to rights. Modern justice is soft, as Jack knows, so perhaps it's time things were done like they were in the good old days... 
  Steven A. McKay is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction novels and short stories including The Druid, The Heathen Horde, and Wolf's Head. "Have You Seen This?" is his first foray into the modern thriller genre and is every bit as powerful as his previous tales, making the reader ponder the very nature of our present reality, and just where technology is leading us. 
  Enjoy this gripping short story that will leave you questioning humanity's place in the future and, more worryingly, whether it's too late to do anything about it... 
  Based on a real event. 
  "A cracking tale!" ***** - David's Book Blurg 
  PRAISE FOR STEVEN A. McKAY's OTHER BOOKS 
  "Lucia...makes the reader re-evaluate the way they think and feel – and takes them to a depth of their soul they probably have never visited before. Steven A. McKay has written a truly riveting depiction of the life of a slave. If you only read one more book this year, it should be Lucia." - Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Silk and the Sword 
  "The Warrior Druid of Britain books are destined, I feel, to become classics of Historical Fiction." - Speesh Reads

  When you’re a hostage of your own nightmare... 
  As the Shadow Island Historical Society prepares to raise funds to restore the island’s beloved lighthouse, someone else has other lethal plans. Instead of the presentation the group hopes for, they attract the attention of a madman claiming the historic monument is his family legacy before firing several shots and barricading the doors. 
  Now, one hostage is dying and the rest fear for their lives. 
  Interim Sheriff Rebecca West is no hostage negotiator, but she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure the elderly captives are safely released. Especially when the perp turns out to be a local boy recently released from the mental hospital where he’d been committed since his mother abandoned him and his father. By all accounts, he’s disturbed but harmless. 
  Or is he? 
  He’s making outlandish assertions about the disappearance of his mother that don’t make sense. And identifying missing persons who disappeared miles away. Are these accusations merely the delusions of mentally unstable man? Or is something more nefarious going on? 
  From its shocking beginning to the jaw-dropping conclusion, Shadow’s Hostage—the sixth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will make you realize we all see what we want to see, even if it’s not true.
