The DeadWalk by Stephanie Bedwell-Grime
Classic sword & sorcery that will keep you turning pages until the wee hours of the morning. The protagonist, Riordan, has two missions in life: find the mythical Sword of Zal-Azaar, and use it to remove Prince Rau's what's-is [she doesn't like him, or the horse he rode in on]. Riordan is not quite a chick in chain mail--she has compassion and sensitivity, and courage . . . she's a whole character, and Bedwell-Grime's depiction of her makes us wish that truth was at least the equal to fiction.

Sixteen years ago the Shannen children were attacked and their home was destroyed. The oldest--twins Ovin and Siobhan--barely managed to whisk their siblings away to safety on a remote planet. Seeking revenge for the attack, Ovin became a hired assassin, while Siobhan entered corporate security service to bring about law and order--and to bring Ovin to justice.

And another threat has surfaced: a terrible new weapon is cracking planets open like nuts and destroying them--a weapon that could be used on the Shannens' new home. Ovin has to find out who is behind these murderous projects, and stop them--but in order to find out who, he first has to discover why . . . and he's going to need Siobhan's help to do it.
But if he succeeds, he could lose his twin forever.

Goatherds & Gods
A novel by Lincoln Bruce, a.k.a. James Baker.
This is fantastical history story that follows a man from lowly goatherder to king. As was typical in most of the Baker novels, the protagonist is a man who starts with little, and ends up having it all...much like the life Baker led himself, although he may never have been aware of exactly how much he had.

The Guardener's Tale by Bruce Boston
"Bruce Boston's tour de force, The Guardener's Tale, a dystopic novel in the flavor of Orwell and Huxley and Zamiatin. It's a limited edition, numbered and signed by the author.
"Here's what Mary Turzillo, noted science fiction author, had to say about it: A gripping dystopia wickedly extrapolated from our own present. Boston brings to bear his narrative genius on this noir tale of a love triangle in a society gone mad, probing the way technology and science alter our reality. Transcending genre, A Guardener’s Tale combines suspense and breathtaking plot twists with macabre humor. Involving, compelling, a masterwork."

Nyx A novel by Tyree Campbell
Meet Nyx. She's alone on a remote world in the midst of an internecine struggle for resources. She's been ordered to kill someone who has not been identified. The nemesis who haunts her past is in charge of the opposition. An anthropologist wants her ass. A professional killer wants the rest of her. And she can't swim in the rivers.
She's a special operative with carte blanche to stack bodies like cordwood, if necessary, to accomplish her mission. Training and a dark past have emptied her of all emotions. Trust is a tool. Sex is a weapon. Loyalty is a blunt instrument. And there is no place whatsoever for sentiment in her work.
Until now.
Meet the Malasy. Lemuroid, humanoid, intelligent, sentient, sentimental. They are covered with chinchilla-like fur. Truth is a must in interpersonal relations, and erotic stimulation is the human equivalent of a handshake. Nyx has to work among them. Her life is about to change.
It's dangerous, even fatal, to become her friend. But it is always fatal to be her enemy.

The Puppets of Low Magic by Lorraine Pinelli Brown
The late 17th/early 18th centuries marked a time of awakening, with the birth of institutions of higher learning, yet the most enlightened of that time spent their cognitive brilliance debating how many angels could fit upon the head of a pin. Satan was ubiquitous, and he was known to have appeared in many forms. He was thought forever present on the earth, a wolf amongst God's holy sheep; watching, waiting for his chance to corrupt the faithful. Temptation loomed— witchcraft was actually practiced— and good men prayed hard for deliverance from Beelzebub and his foul minions.
Rachel Mapes is a Puritan woman who, upon accident of birth, receives an IQ of 160. She has a level of understanding that would take others years of book-learning to achieve. She is able to make connections where it would seem no connection was possible. She possesses strong powers of intuition. And she has to hide her special abilities . . . or be burned at the stake.
But what if she really is a witch . . . ?
