When you're Black in America, time travel can be deadly. As a black college student in the rural West Virginia town of Selah Station, Kenia Dezy already feels out of place. But when an unexplained phenomenon starts transporting her back to pre-civil rights 1953, she finds herself woven into a tapestry of racial triumphs and tragedies. Kenia begins to unravel secrets that powerful men would rather keep hidden, even if it means massacring an entire town through an industrial accident. At the intersection of race, class, gender and privilege, Kenia must navigate a community wresting with its past and and present, to avert disaster. Current, relevant, and timely, The Selah Branch has received numerous award. Fans of N.K. Jemisin, Nnedi Okarafor, and Rivers Solomon will see their influence. But more than anything, readers of Octavia Butler will appreciate this homage to her classic, Kindred.

The pandemic changed everything. Health, wealth, and beauty, those are Black things now. Poverty, illness, crime-those things are for white people. The virus turned the suburbs into graveyards and ripped away dreams of the future. It turned the present into a desperate fight for the future. In a world where skin color is tied to immunity, for the first time in his life, Scot must reckon with being white. For Kimberly and other Black survivors, the complexities of being Black in America just got worse. While armies of white nationalists and Christian fundamentalists try to remake a post-apocalyptic America according to their vision, people of color, and their allies, must fight for theirs. Amid race warriors, survivalists, and refugees, Scot and Kimberly must learn to trust and understand people they thought they knew, including each other. In the face of withering hate, division, and a crushing pandemic, only the united will survive. Written and published just before the Covid-19 pandemic, Reaper Moon has been called prescient, visionary, and harrowing. It stands alongside the most highly regarded classic and contemporary apocalyptic stories: Stephen King's The Stand; Cormac McCarthy's The Road; as well as the Dog Stars, Zone One, and The Reapers are the Angels. If you find stories of The Last of Us, The Walking Dead, The Handmaiden's Tale, Station Eleven, and films such as Red Dawn and the Book of Eli, compelling, this series is for you.

This book changed my life.- Someone who the author definitely didn't pay to say that. This book is so good, it might be better than me.- Jesus. A love-sick Masai warrior, a princess turned scientist, and two cousins who have to save their families from illness, collide in a zany adventure with zebras, zombies, and Zambonis. (Okay, okay, there might not be Zambonis in East Africa, but you get the idea). Read the three interwoven stories that started the Snog Team Six adventure (and find out where Esmeralda the blind, East African, ninja assassin learned her fly moves). The Snog Team Six series is science fiction, fantasy, and humor mashed up in shameless-perfect-proportions. It's a story of scrappy misfits caught up in a fight they didn't pick but they will finish. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Harry Potter, it's adored by fans of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus series; Hank Green's Carl Saga; TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea; Garth Nix's Lefthanded Book Sellers; and Terry Pratchett's Discworld. It's irreverent, clever; full of humor and heart. You won't be able to put it down.

In the mid-twenty-first century, peace has come to Israel-Palestine, but only through the erasure of history and even individuals' memories. In the aftermath of this draconian solution, symbols of faith, religion itself, are outlawed. Sabrina, a young police cadet, is a resolute enforcer of the law. Her loyalties are torn when her best friend Lindsey, a charismatic spiritual leader, faces punishment under the orders of her uncle Angelo, the head administrator of their city. Sabrina must betray her oaths to save Lindsey. The choice casts them into a radioactive wasteland where they're pursued by cyborg bounty hunters. In flight, the two friends discover an uprising of religious fanatics that threatens the survival of humanity. With every faction as their enemy, Sabrina and Lindsey must choose sides. Their decision pits friend against family, war against peace, and faith against doubt. It's a fight to decide the world they want to live in. If that world survives. If you found the family dilemmas and dark world building of Netflix's Arcane; the political, theological questions posed by Frank Herbert's Dune; the gritty futurism of Blade Runner; Hugh Howey's Silo Series, or James Cameron's Dark Angel, compelling, City on a Hill is for you.

Elk Riders has received starred reviews from Kirkus which called the series "grand," "brilliant," and "visionary." It has won the Jim Barnes Moonbeam Award for Children's Literature and a 5 STAR Review from Readers Favorite. A thousand years ago, the dark sorcerers, the Kryen, were dethroned and entombed. The world has lived in peace ever since. Now their acolytes want to bring them back. Gabriella just wanted her island village to remain the same. She wished for more friends and less time minding her brother, Dameon. When she sets out on a stolen airship to find a way to stop those who would change her home, she is swept up in a conflict between those who serve the Kryen and those sworn to stop them. It is a conflict that reaches far beyond the shores of Gabriella's home and deep into the mists of time-a conflict that raises armies, divides kingdoms, and shatters peace. Elk Riders volumes one and two follow Gabriella with a band of companions: an old man; a village outcast; and a mysterious elk as she strives to keep her village the same as it ever was. But to do so, Gabriella might have to change in ways she never intended. Elk Riders volumes three through five continue with Haille Hillbourne, a failure as a prince who is cast off by his father. Disliked and disregarded for his epilepsy, he is an unwanted reminder of the beloved queen, who died giving birth to him. Haille wants nothing to do with politics or royalty. He wants to be a son who is accepted by his father. With his friend, Katlyn, he embarks on a quest to find a spring that might cure his illness. Both become pawns in a conspiracy to murder the king, destabilize the kingdom, and resurrect the Kryen. Haille and Katlyn seek help from two disgraced war veterans and an elk of unknown origin. What started as a quest for a spring, turns into a scramble to avert war, heal a people, and avert the catastrophe of the Kryen's return. Elk Riders is high fantasy at its best. It's a story of underestimated misfits caught up in a fight on a scale they never expected. Beyond the numerous comparisons to Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia, Elk Riders sits in a pantheon of classic and contemporary fantasy: Ursula K. Leguin's, Earthsea series; Madeleine L'Engle's, A Wrinkle in Time; Garth Nix's, Old Kingdom-Abhorsen Series; Joe Abercrombie's, Shattered Sea; NK Jemisin's, The Broken Earth; and a plethora of television gems from Willow to the Dragon Prince and Last Airbender.
