The reader’s approachJuly 2016 Vol. I

Letter to the readersOne of the most remarkable memories about

being a teen was the arriving of the Book

Catalog in the mail every week. This catalog

was magical. It contained worlds of fantasy,

mystery, thriller, adventures... I would submerge

my mind in that kaleidoscopic personal

experience, reading excerpts and begging Mom

to buy me one or two titles at least. I missed

that old emotion and I wanted to take it back to

our days in a digital format through Pen Name.

What a better way to approach Literature

during these days?

I hope you enjoy my collection and although I

started this project by myself, I am open to

suggestions and collaborations from readers

and fellow authors.

Welcome!

The core story is set in Venice in the

sixteenth century, when the famed

makers of Venetian glass were

perfecting one of the old world's

most wondrous inventions: the

mirror. An object of glittering yet

fearful fascination—was it reflecting

simple reality, or something more

spiritually revealing?

Son of Justice

by Steven L. Hawk #SciFi #SpaceFleet

http://hyperurl.co/ohka10 April 2016

For more than a dozen years, Eli

has studied the art of war from

some of the most skilled fighters on

three planets. There's no question,

he has what it takes to be a

professional soldier.

There's just one problem. His father

is General Grant Justice, the most

famous man in the galaxy and

leader of a new governmental

alliance that unites four alien races.

How well do you know the couple

next door? Or your husband? Or

even—yourself?

People are capable of almost

anything. . .

A domestic suspense debut about a

young couple and their apparently

friendly neighbors—a twisty,

rollercoaster ride of lies, betrayal,

and the secrets between husbands

and wives. . . ?

From a reader:

Anthology of moments. This is

how I would define this collection.

You never know where the stories

are developed.

If they are part of bigger stories, a

summary of tales or free stand-

alone stories... but if this selection

could be classified, it would be as

simple as a universe of moments...

Universe of Moments

by Delia Goldadler Joison#Short Stories #Fantasy

http://hyperurl.co/bma22q May 2016

Seventeen year old Kenna Marsden

has a secret. She's haunted by a

violent tragedy she can't explain.

Kenna's past has kept people-even

her own mother-at a distance for

years. Just when she finds a friend

who loves her and life begins to

improve, she's plunged into a new

nightmare: her mom and twin

sister are attacked, and the dark

powers Kenna has struggled to

suppress awaken with a

vengeance.

Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the

crime scene. There’s no use

talking to police; they’ve failed her

abysmally before. She has to flee

before she’s arrested . . . or worse.

The truth doesn’t matter anymore.

can help her

Nalini Singh is the New York Times and USA TodayBestselling author of the Psy-Changeling, GuildHunter, and Rock Kiss series.Her new book Allegiance of Honor, is the numberfifteen in her successful Psy-Changeling series.Let’s take a more personal look to thisextraordinary author.

Information for this article was provided by www.nalinisingh.com

I was born inFiji and raisedin New Zealand.I also spentthree yearsliving andworking inJapan, duringwhich time Itook the chanceto travel aroundAsia. I’m back inNew Zealandnow, but I’malways plottingnew trips. Ifyou’d like to seesome of mytravelsnapshots, havea look at theTravel Diarypage (updatedfrequently).

So far, I’veworked as alawyer, a

librarian, acandy factorygeneral hand, abank temp andan Englishteacher and notnecessarily inthat order.Some might callthatinconsistencybut I call it gristfor the writer’smill.

I’ve beenwriting as longas I canremember andall of my storiesalways held athread ofromance (evenwhen I waswriting about aprince whocould shootlasers out of his

eyes). I lovecreating uniquecharacters, lovegiving themhappy endingsand I even lovethe voices in myhead. There’sno other job Iwould rather bedoing. InSeptember2002, when Igot the call thatSilhouetteDesire wantedto buy my firstbook, DesertWarrior, it wasa dream cometrue. I hope tocontinue livingthe dream untilI keel over ofold age on mykeyboard.

In her own words…

The Psy-Changeling worldhas undergone a staggeringtransformation and nowstands at a crossroads. TheTrinity Accord promises anew era of cooperationbetween disparate racesand groups. It is a beacon ofhope held together by manyhands: Old enemies. Newallies. Wary loners.

But a century of distrust andsuspicion can’t be so easilyforgotten and threatens toshatter Trinity from withinat any moment. As rivalmembers vie fordominance, chaos and evilgather in the shadows and akidnapped woman’s cry forhelp washes up in SanFrancisco, while theConsortium turns itsmurderous gaze toward achild who is theembodiment of change, oflove, of piercing hope: Achild who is both Psy…and

changeling.

To find the lost, protect thevulnerable—and saveTrinity—no one can standalone. This is a time ofloyalty across divisions, ofbonds woven into the heartand the soul, of heroesknown and unknownstanding back to back andholding the line. But is anallegiance of honor evenpossible with traitors lurkingin their midst?
