The first two books in the ITP series by author David Gelber are now available, "Future Hope" and "Joshua and Aaron." The stories belong to a genre that would best be called speculative fiction, or science fiction with thought provoking biblical themes. "Future Hope" speculates on the future of our Earth, what we are, what we may become and what we could have been. The story also offers commentary on the world we have made for ourselves, while it keeps you entertained. "Joshua and Aaron" continues with these themes while focusing on Joshua Smith's personal struggle and doubts about God and salvation.

Amora Madre has just experienced the shock of her life. Not only has she learned that her childhood imaginary friends are real, but they are not human. She soon finds herself in Washington, D.C., having been chosen by the Intergalactic Supernatural Intelligence Agency (ISIA) to fight an evil supernatural syndicate determined to destroy the balance of good and evil on Earth. Amora’s mission is played out in Maria Lucia’s new novel, "Liberation: Book One of the Andrusian Chronicles." Author Maria Lucia was inspired to write "Liberation" while living in Washington, D.C. Visiting monuments and the National Archives made the story’s fragments come together as if the Andrusian race were calling her to write their chronicles. The novel has a special twist regarding the nation’s capital and its founding, and Lucia was inspired by the intangible sense of power felt walking the streets, viewing the monuments, and considering what happened to make the United States a land of freedom. In "Liberation," the concept of American freedom reaches a new level.

"The Last Guardian and the Reject Bike" by author Darren Simon is meant to be a fun, humorous, touching, and exciting story for young readers that imparts a message that every kid can be a hero. The story follows a thirteen-year-old boy, Chuck Smelton, who longs to be hero, but the image he sees staring back at him in the mirror causes him to believe the term loser is more befitting his place in life. He is struggling to fit in at his new school, the bullies call him "Chub" because he is rather pudgy, he can't hit a baseball to save his life, and his fear of the dark has him still dependent on a nightlight. Then one day he receives a gift of the ugliest-hunk-of-junk bike he has ever seen, and little does he know his life is about to change. Little does he know that bike, which is much more than it seems will be the key to unlocking the hero within himself. Can Chuck become the hero he must become to save his family, his city, and the world from an evil only he can defeat?

Chrysalis: Tribulations is a fantastic read as it is the second book by M. L. Lacy in the Chrysalis saga. It picks up with Aubrey, "Bree" for short settling into her new life as the "Chosen One" although her transformation to the Magical World is still many months away. Esmeralda her arch nemesis has bounties on her life to the highest bidder to get rid of her before the year's end. Bree's powers are growing as she is navigating her way through being the Alpha female of the clan. Bree not only has to contend with the jealousy of Esmeralda but also with the females within in her own clan. The newest members have pushed Madalyn the mate of the Alpha male of the clan Bradley to challenge the decision of making Bree the Alpha just cause she is the Chosen One. So instead of having her family dragged through a court, Bree and the men of her clan have pretend to agree to let Madalyn have her chance at being the Alpha female and hope that she finds out she is not cut out for that role and most likely concede to Bree. As Madalyn goes about making demands and decisions which everyone pretty much ignores, secrets meetings are held with Bree and the men of the clan on what to do to keep Bree and the clan safe while getting rid of the dark creatures who threaten everyone's existence.   Bree also has to learn how to be able to satisfy the men of her clan. Preferably she would only want to be with her one and only Steven her soul mate but with this life there are certain traditions that are to be followed. As the Chosen One she is to have seven men that she is to be romantically involved with and she struggles with the mortal emotions that go with having to share her one and only with the other women of the clan especially with Madalyn and her cohorts but sharing herself with others. She has to learn to compartmentalize each one to keep them separate. Each one brings something different to her. She defines each one as Rick being her passion, Billy being her heart, Bradley is her old romantic love, and Steven her soul mate. At least Bree has a lot of help with guardians, teachers she sees in dreams, and two of the women in the clan who adore her and give their advice to help her along with advancing magical abilities as well as the romantic relationships that have to evolve with the men. Unfortunately, she also has to deal with this nasty demon in her dreams and waking life who is so determined to bring her to the dark side which she has now realized is her ex husband Nick in disguise. Tribulations is a fitting title as Bree struggles with preparing herself to leave the mortal world behind and crossing over to the Magical World to take her rightful place as the "Chosen One" Alpha female leader of the clan. The question is will she be alive to be able to claim it?

This collection of 23 short stories and poem collection was a refreshing read. The stories are a mix of real life tales of the past, works of fiction and works of science fiction along with a collection of poems. The stories range from fantasy science fiction to real life science history, with stories from the great depression era and historical family memories. The author has many different writing styles. Each story was unique in its own way, and while I didn’t always enjoy each story, I knew the next story would be a fresh start and a different tone. Edward Hujsak did a wonderful job with his writings. The publication is what you would expect from the title, an intriguing collection of short stories. The cover art of this collection of stories will grab your attention and lure you into the contents. A Pig in the Rumble Seat was one of my favorite stories along with San Diego’s Missile, Killing a Rooster and The Still. I learned a lot of history by reading this book. I felt I was given an insight into the past, a revelation of time and how things have changed. I loved reading this because I grew up in southern New Hampshire and have spent many years in the same area as the author. It was very interesting to compare his memories with mine and how things have grown and changed over the course of years, but managed to somewhat stay the same. It made me miss home and long to go back. I enjoyed this book for many reasons. I learned things I did not know about in regards to science and missiles. I was amazed at the intelligence of the author, and enjoyed hearing his accounts first hand. The stories were all very different, but many of them were funny, insightful and useful. I felt I received a bit of American history through the readings, along with personal history and generational history. This collection of stories will stay with you. There is something in this book for everyone. I enjoyed reading it.
