New Release: The Tangled Stars by Edward Willett

Posted on November 14, 2022 by Sahara Foley

Con-man, cop, and a talking cat who becomes a starship captain at the heart of twelfth novel for DAW Books by Saskatchewan author Edward Willett

A con-man, a female cop on the moon with secret revolutionary leanings, and a genetically modified, AI-uplifted talking cat who eventually becomes a starship captain are at the heart of The Tangled Stars, the twelfth novel by Saskatchewan author Edward Willett for New York’s DAW Books, one of the world’s premiere publishers of science fiction and fantasy.

More than a century ago, the network of MASTTs, the space-time tunnels that made interstellar travel possible, violently collapsed, the backlash destroying a lot of the solar system’s space-based infrastructure. Cooper “Coop” Douglas, a thief and conman, is in serious debt to outer-system crime-lord Eric Galioto. While trying to salvage a valuable chunk of a space station destroyed by the backlash, Coop makes a startling discovery: MASTT Primus, the tunnel that used to lead to New Earth, is open again. That raises an intriguing possibility: Coop could flee the solar system and his debt to Galioto and make a new life—and possibly fortune—around another star.

Accompanied by his first mate, the wisecracking, AI-uplifted, genetically modified cat Thibauld, Coop sets out to “liberate” the solar system’s only remaining functioning starship from an Earthside museum, enlisting the help of Laysa Grey, a former-lover-turned-cop on Luna. Along the way, he is pursued by Galioto and dogged by law enforcement and thugs.

And beyond MASTT Primus, the tangled stars await . . .

Edward Willett is the award-winning author of more than sixty books of science fiction, fantasy and non-fiction for readers of all ages. He’s also host of the Aurora Award-winning podcast The Worldshapers, featuring conversations with science fiction and fantasy authors about the creative process, and owner and publisher of Shadowpaw Press, which publishes new work by established and emerging authors and new editions of notable, previously published work.

His previous DAW novels include Marseguro (winner of Canada’s top science fiction award, the Aurora Award, for Best Long-Form Work in English), and its sequel, Terra Insegura (an Aurora finalist); Magebane (written as Lee Arthur Chane); the Masks of Aygrima fantasy trilogy (written as E.C. Blake); the stand-alone science fiction novels Lost in Translation and The Cityborn, and the three-book Worldshapers series. Willett is also the author of The Shards of Excalibur modern-day YA fantasy series, originally published by Coteau Books, and Star Song, a finalist for the 2022 Aurora Award for Best Young Adult Novel, among several others.

Sudbury Author Sounds a Warning About Coming Technology

Posted on November 13, 2022 by Sahara Foley

Enhancing our brainpower with computers—is it a Pandora’s Box we don’t dare open?

Sudbury author Scott Overton is offering a cautionary story with his new science fiction novel Augment Nation. The augments referred to in the title are brain-computer interfaces (BCI)—small computerized devices directly linking our brains to powerful processors and even the internet. That’s the direction Overton sees consumer technology going within the next two decades, and we’ll need to be prepared.

Human brains with direct access to the internet. What could go wrong?

Since the age of fourteen Damon Leiter has had a brain-computer interface implanted beneath his skull to correct a neurological disorder. As a teenager, it branded him as an outcast—as an adult it endows him with extraordinary abilities. He may represent the next step in human evolution. When computerized brain augments replace smartphones as the must-have status item, mega-corporations and governments conspire together and marketing becomes mind control. Damon is uniquely equipped to lead a worldwide resistance, but the fight may cost him everything.

“The promise of instant access to lots of computing power and all the resources of the internet with just a thought is incredible,” says Overton. “But the potential risks are staggering too. Computers can be hacked, phones can be hacked…websites, Facebook pages, email accounts; all of them are vulnerable to being taken over or tampered with for malicious purposes.”

But Overton points out that the hazards don’t just involve criminals or vandals. There are hundreds of legitimate players who’d love to have more access to our thinking.

“We already give marketers and companies way too much access to our personal information and our private lives, usually in return for a little extra convenience, reward points we may never cash in, or shiny baubles we don’t need. Who will be able to resist tantalizing offers when an internet connection is right in our head?”

And while Overton thinks conspiracy theories about micro-devices that track us and affect our thoughts are pure fantasy for now, that might not always be the case. Brain-computer interfaces might be just too tempting for unscrupulous political parties or multi-nationals with a lust for power. “I’m sure most of us can think of politicians who would sell their souls for that kind of direct influence over citizens,” he says. “We will have to decide—and decide very soon—whether or not we’re willing to open that door.”

The novel is set only twenty years from now. Is brain-computer interface technology really that advanced?

“Elon Musk’s Neuralink company will soon start human trials to help people who are paralysed or have other neuro-muscular disabilities control electronic devices and robotics with their thoughts. But a company called Synchron is already in human trials,” Overton says.

A well-known radio morning host for more than 30 years in Ontario, Canada, Overton has built a second career as an author. His radio-themed debut novel Dead Air was shortlisted for a Northern Lit Award in 2012, and his science fiction/thriller novels The Primus Labyrinth, Naïda, and The Dispossession of Dylan Knox have been well-received too, with readers most often comparing them to the work of Michael Crichton. The writer considered the “dean of Canadian science fiction”, Robert J. Sawyer, (winner of every major science fiction award and a member of both the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario) says of Augment Nation:

“Scott Overton is a terrific writer and his vision of tomorrow is both realistic and frightening. Read this book!”

— Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author

New Release: Ghost Mark (Dark Dreams Book 2) by JP McLean

Posted on November 12, 2022 by Sahara Foley

The newest supernatural thriller by Award-Winning novelist, JP McLean

Released by Windstorm Press / The book is available worldwide in digital and print format

Jane’s nightmares are back—and this time, they’ve unleashed a brutal killer.

Jane Walker’s nightmares aren’t imaginary—they’re glimpses into the traumatic past; and the past can be dangerous, especially now that Jane’s protective birthmarks are gone.

Worse, she’s no longer invisible within her dreams—and learns this the hard way while using her power to incriminate a ruthless killer. Inadvertently revealing her ghost form, she launches him on a relentless hunt to track her down.

Even more disturbing, Jane knows this man. She once tried to use her power to save him from injury, but instead set him on a path of violent crime. Now, he’s targeted the man she loves, and Jane must keep one step ahead of this cold-blooded assassin before he gets rid of Ethan permanently.

Jane has one last chance to fix the mistake that altered this man’s history, but that means taking her most dangerous dream journey yet—one from which she might never awaken.

Ghost Mark is the second installment of the Dark Dreams Series by JP McLean, an author whose writing the Ottawa Review of Books calls “relentless and original.”

McLean’s writing is as ingenious as her protagonist, ranging from grunge to repartee to sophistication to laugh-out-loud snarks. Ghost Mark is Gripping. You won’t put it down till it’s done_—Ottawa Review of Books

A captivating nail-biter that will leave readers thirsting for more! _—InD’tale Magazine

Will keep you on the edge of your seat . . . an intense, riveting, and fast-paced novel. _—Literary Titan

An exciting blend of action, mystery, suspense, and thrills with a supernatural kick that will leave you wanting more! _—Ann Charles, USA Today bestselling author of The Deadwood Mystery series

Other Books in Series:

What if your lifelong curse is the only thing keeping you alive?

Abandoned at birth, life has always been a battle for Jane Walker. She and her best friend, Sadie, spent years fighting to survive Vancouver’s cutthroat underbelly. That would have been tough enough without Jane’s mysterious afflictions: an intricate pattern of blood-red birthmarks that snake around her body and vivid, heart-wrenching nightmares that feel so real she wakes up screaming.

After she meets the first man who isn’t repulsed by her birthmarks, Jane thinks she might finally have a chance at happiness. Her belief seems confirmed as the birthmarks she’s spent her life so ashamed of magically begin to disappear. Yet, the quicker her scarlet marks vanish, the more lucid and disturbing Jane’s nightmares become—until it’s impossible to discern her dreams from reality, and Jane comes to a horrifying realization:

The nightmares that have plagued her since childhood are actually visions of real people being stalked by a deadly killer. And all this time, her birthmarks have been the only things protecting her from becoming his next victim.

Blood Mark is the first in a brand-new paranormal thriller series by JP McLean, author of The Gift Legacy series and whose writing has been described as “. . . deftly crafted, impressively original, and inherently compelling from first page to last.”

Cyber attack technology and video game realism – Say it isn’t so????

By the critically acclaimed writing duo of Charles Breakfield and Rox Burkey

The book is published by ICABOD Press and is available worldwide across all platforms!

The Enigma Series uses the 7th book, The Enigma Gamers, to expand the series with a grittier, feet-on-the-street, diverse group of men and women carefully selected by Julie and Juan to work on special assignments all over the world. The challenges they face in these assignments are potentially more far reaching that they ever imagined. Gone are the days of pixelated sprites and simple wired controllers. It’s the twenty-first century, and video game playing has undergone a complete evolution. With high-def graphics and intuitive sensory controls, gamers are enjoying a level of realism and immersion never before experienced. However, when the line between the real and cyber worlds becomes blurred, this digital landscape provides new social predators with opportunities to unleash terror and pain on unsuspecting victims. Businesses, cities, and commonly used services might believe they are immune, but then their world goes sideways as a grotesque ransomware demand is spilled across their data screen. Led by Julie and Juan, the fledgling CATS-Cyber Assassins Technology Services team is committed to avenging and administering justice to evil doers in every corner of the real and virtual worlds. The CATS team is the next generation of hunters in the cat and mouse game of cyber warfare. Within the Enigma series, the CATS team will continue to evolve and uses front-line techniques, which stretches every resource at their disposal to face off against a sinister new world of high-tech crimes.

Breakfield and Burkey write as a team and have published a series of books in their Enigma Series. The Flower Enigma is their first cozy mystery, a definite page turner, indeed”, _ Book Editor

“This is the fifth book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles. And like Cabot Cove in the TV series Murder She Wrote, it’s a lovely little town, but a lot of people get killed there. If you’ve enjoyed the Enigma series, here’s another to like. If you haven’t read any of those, this is a great start. I highly recommend it” _ Pennant Pub

#SaharasMusings – When Enough Is Too Much

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Sahara Foley

I was talking with my sister the other day and she mentioned that she had to clean out her craft room as she’d bought more than she needed. Then we laughed over the fact she probably inherited that trait from Mom as she was always over buying stuff. Mom was a clothes horse, but after she died, we found things she’d bought for who knows what reason. Which then made me think about myself. Am I the same way? Well, yes, yes, I am. 🤣😂

i'd love to hear about your stamp collection But That's None Of My Business - Kermit Drinking Tea | Make a Meme

It started with a stamp collection back in my late teens and early twenty’s. I just had to buy all the packets I could from Jamestown Stamp Company Now, my dusty collection is sitting, forlorn and forgotten, on a shelf in my bedroom closet. Is it worth any money? Who knows.

19 Hilarious Memes About Having "Too Many" Books

Then, it became my books. I convinced myself it was so cool to have a library all my own. So, I bought book after book after book. And I read everyone. Those books followed me around most of my life, which was a pain with the amount of times I’ve moved. Whew.

Still, I really didn’t consider myself a compulsive or obsessive person. Then, I remembered the baseball caps I bought back in 2020 right after I had my head surgery and all my hair was shaved off.

I didn’t buy just one or two. Oh no. I bought a dozen. A DOZEN. Why? Because of the BLING. Now, they sit in my closet on a hanger. Now that my hair is getting thinner, I supposed I’ll be using them again. LOL.

So I guess I should’ve known that when crystals got under my skin, it wouldn’t just be a few.

Yikes. Not nice on my pocketbook, for sure. (I keep telling myself it’s an investment. LOL.) But, I do intend on selling some next year as I upgrade to better quality ones. Yes, there is a difference and I got sucked into some sellers that didn’t have good ones. But, you learn as you go. 🔮😍❤♥❤

Pre-Order: Exposed (Circle of the Red Lily Book 1) by Anna J. Stewart

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Sahara Foley

Hollywood secrets. Deadly reveals. The newest thriller by USA TODAY bestseller Anna J Stewart

Set for release this November and published by CAEZIK Romance, an imprint of Arc Manor Books!

“Atmospheric, vivid and intense, this is modern romantic noir at its best.” ~NYTimes Bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz

Working as a Hollywood photographer means Riley Temple has seen it all. But then she finds herself staring at the chilling image of a dead woman. When her questions about the film lead to violence, she reluctantly turns to the only person who can help. Detective Quinn Burton, the police commissioner’s son. Her history with the LAPD is complicated, her trust in authority, tenuous. But to find those responsible and protect those closest to her, she’s willing to do anything. Even trust a cop.

After more than a decade on the job, Quinn knows a dangerous situation when he sees it and Riley Temple is up to her ears in trouble. But not for the reason she thinks. The pictures she’s stumbled on call into a question a notorious murder conviction—one that powerful people have a vested interest in keeping in place. Seeing this case through means betraying someone: his job, his family, or the woman he’s falling in love with.

As old secrets are revealed, Quinn and Riley find themselves targeted by members of a secret society that has long maintained violent control over Hollywood’s powerful elite. A society that, until now, has remained hidden in the shadows. A society that will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.

“… a page-turner with images that will linger long after you finish the book.” ~Academy Award Nominated Actress & Author Meg Tilly
