  Siroc's Runaway

  I might be a killing machine. I just don't know it, yet. 
   
   
   
  Siroc: My mountain domain operates as smoothly as the sleek machines that mine for ore in the caves, but when a human female is found in the snow, every alarm bell rings—literally. It's Jane, a volunteer of the human-Mitran breeding program, who had disappeared six months earlier, but not willingly. It's clear she was abducted and surgically "enhanced" with implants to improve her senses and strength, and she has no recollection of what happened to her. The mystery of unlocking those memories is nearly as intriguing as the female herself, until acts of sabotage make me question whether Jane is hiding a secret that could destroy thousands of lives under my protection. 
   
   
   
  Jane: I am rebuilding my life after waking up in a Mitran infirmary with abilities I shouldn't have and scars to go with them. But I have no memory of my past. The alien warlord, Siroc, is always nearby. Always watching. Gaps in my memory coincide with "accidents" and strange occurrences. As we grow closer, I desperately want to know—what if something inside of me will kill everyone I care about, including the warlord who has my heart? 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  This collection gathers five remarkable stories from the era when science fiction magazines were overflowing with daring ideas and unforgettable characters. Explorers push deeper into space, brilliant navigators chart impossible routes and ordinary people find themselves trapped in situations far beyond anything they expected. 
  The writers behind these tales helped shape the early imagination of the genre. Their stories explore distant worlds, dangerous assignments and strange discoveries that test the limits of human courage and ingenuity. The settings may span the stars, but the tension always comes down to one moment—one decision that could change everything. 
  Some of the authors in this volume became widely known voices in science fiction, while others appeared only occasionally in the pulps before fading from view. Together their work preserves the excitement of a time when every new issue of a magazine promised another wild journey into the unknown. 
  For readers who love vintage science fiction filled with bold ideas and classic storytelling, this collection delivers five more lost transmissions from the golden age of the genre. 🚀

  When the Wallace family travels to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe hoping to reconnect, they expect peace, beauty, and maybe a bit of adventure. What they find is a centuries-old spirit with unfinished business—and a curse that doesn’t forget.
   
  Sacrilege: Curse of the Mbirwi is a chilling and emotional journey through ancestral vengeance, buried secrets, and the fierce reckoning that follows when the sacred is disturbed. After Dashon Wallace unknowingly desecrates a spiritual tomb, his family is thrust into a battle that is both physical and spiritual. As terrifying visions and inexplicable events unfold, they must confront more than just a supernatural force—they must face their own history, trauma, and guilt.
   
  Set against the richly textured backdrop of African mythology, this gripping novel blends psychological suspense with deep emotional truth. It’s a haunting reminder that what we bury—emotionally or spiritually—never truly disappears. It waits.

  For fans of Janet Evanovich, Lisa Scottoline, and Kristin Hannah — the second Emily Bernal mystery, where the adoption is almost hers and everything is in the way. 
  Emily Bernal has a plan: finish foster care classes, find an apartment, get Betsy back. Simple. Achievable. Completely derailed within forty-eight hours by two runaway teenagers who witnessed a murder, a corrupt cop who stole her phone, a stolen saddle that turns out to belong to Jack Holden's dead wife, and a Christmas Eve murder victim she finds in someone's backyard. 
  Betsy is with the Hodges — an ultra-religious foster family with twelve children, a suspicious amount of monthly income, and a foster mother who is the sister of the most corrupt officer on the Amarillo PD. Emily is not legally allowed near the school. She watches from the parking lot anyway. This is not helping her adoption case. 
  The runaway case winds from Amarillo to Wrong Turn Ranch in New Mexico to a warehouse complex in Alamogordo where a bent cop holds Ava Butler at gunpoint and Emily shoots him with her Glock. The adoption case winds through Christmas Eve church services, a passionate kiss on a porch, and the discovery that Jack Holden has been keeping a secret about Emily's father that changes everything she thought she knew about both men. 
  Earth to Emily is the second book in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' Emily Bernal Series — bigger, faster, and more emotionally complex than Book 1, with a New Mexico Christmas and a proposal in a snowdrift. Written by an author who knows this territory from the inside. 
  She was this close to getting her girl. Then everything happened at once — which, for Emily Bernal, is just a Tuesday. 
  Grab Earth to Emily today and hang on tight for a high-octane, heart-pounding mystery! 
  The Emily Bernal Series is Part 2 in Hutchins' What Doesn't Kill You Super Series.

  So when a few hillfolk break their own rules and ask for his help, he is more than ready to take on the case.
