The Consequences of Victoria...

Johnny Cassidy

After the catastrophic events of Sunfall, the people of the world no longer trust the use of amulets, viewing them as weapons of evil – When it comes out that Maple Valley’s newly minted “organic superhero” uses these magical artifacts, will they turn their back on her, or will her influence change the masses. 
  
The Lotus Temple is a beacon of good in the dark despair that hangs over the land. Its app gives true democracy to the hands of the people. At least, that’s what their PR team pushes. Victoria Grey is only their newest angle, a rebranding of their Chosen Program, created to collect amulets and save the world.  
  
Victoria works hard to fit the mold given to her – Strong, logical, and obedient. But as the amulets work their power over her, she falls deeper and deeper into their temptation. Caught up in the opinions of others and what it takes to be a hero, her steadfast resolve begins to crack, throwing doubt into the minds of those she is sworn to protect.  
  
With the Temple on her back and her followers turned against her, will Victoria be able to ground her emotions and stick to the goal, or will her own choices be her undoing?

The Singing Shore I - Sea and Song

E.P. Clark

“A passionate coming-of-age story.”—Kirkus Reviews
Distinguished Favorite, Audiobook-Fiction, Independent Press Awards 2023
Finalist, Indies Today Book Awards 2022
Finalist, Fantasy, Book Excellence Awards 2022
All magical gifts are wild. The seer’s gift is the wildest of all.
Dasha, Tsarinovna of all of Zem’, was expected to have great magical gifts. Why else would the gods have arranged her conception? But instead of anything useful, Dasha’s gifts first manifested themselves as visions of terror and destruction. Then, just when it seemed she might be gaining some control over them, they abandoned her entirely.
That’s unfortunate, because Dasha could really use some guidance right now. She’s volunteered to be her people’s envoy to the Rutsi, their warlike neighbors to the West. Dasha wants to make peace with the Rutsi, but the only way they want to make peace with her is by conquest—or marriage.
Dasha leaves behind her home and everything she knows on a dangerous journey to treat with the Rutsi. As she travels through a new land, she discovers new powers, new dangers, and the oldest magic of all—love. Dasha’s gift is wild, but she’s about to find out that the heart is wilder still. Her exploration of forbidden passion and forbidden magic might be the key that unlocks all her untapped promise as the strongest sorceress of her generation—or it could be the weapon that destroys her and everything she cares about.
A high fantasy saga that combines spiritual exploration with spicy romance, The Singing Shore I: Sea and Song is the first installment in the trilogy sequel to the award-winning miniseries The Breathing Sea. If you loved the Winternight trilogy, come visit the land of Zem’!
Note: This audio edition contains wild wren song recorded at the studio location.

Ayn Rand's Anthem

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum; February 2, 1905 – March 6, 1982) was a Russian-American writer and philosopher known for her contributions to literature with themes advocating individualism and capitalism. Rand's works remain popular for their strong narrative style and provocative ideas, while her philosophy remains a subject of both admiration and critique in philosophical and political discourse.  
Anthem is a dystopian novella set in a future where individuality has been eradicated, and collectivism rules supreme. It serves as a critique of collectivism, warning against the dehumanization that can occur when individual rights are sacrificed for the supposed good of the collective. It's a concise exploration of Rand's Objectivism, focusing on the virtues and importance of the individual's mind and freedom. 
Frank Marcopolos lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.
