It’s been a long time since I did a News from the Book Realm post. Mea culpa. I’ll be scheduling a book shout-out post every month from this month onward
. Nothing makes me happier than sharing books written by authors I love reading. I hope you’ll find something appealing among
this spectacular sci-fi collection.
A dying world has many secrets.
Porl’s world is dying. Crops fail. Birds fall from the sky. Is this a repeat of the Cataclysm that decimated the Ancients’ world a thousand years ago?
Porl loves to fix things and is compelled to solve the mystery – and save his people no matter the personal cost. Disobeying the will of the town Elders, Porl uncovers a secret they want hidden. When caught, the Elders banish Porl into the wilderness, alone against the savage Mad-Ones.
As the Mad-Ones hunt him, Porl discovers the world isn’t what he believed. The more he learns about the mystical Ancients, the more he unravels an incredible reality he never imagined.
Nothing is what it seems. The harshest truth he uncovers is that in seven days everyone he loves will die. Yet the final secret of the Ancients, on how to save his people, still eludes him…
A constellation of wondrous stars…

Releases 2nd June
Four stories from the author of Backworlds…
Rogue versus world. Who will win? New planets, hidden lands, and places no one would dare dream of arise from the elements of earth, air, fire, and water. Visions of the future where we verge on extinction and only daring can forge hope. Alternative realms on Earth lead to darkness. The Rogue Element is: Patchworker 2.0, Corrosive, The Vagaries of Eloise Stanton, and The Wallows.
This berg has balls and they bite.
Spaceberg arrives without warning. The size of Jupiter, it hits with deadly consequences, taking out ships and colonies in the outer solar system.
Orbital Rescue Squad 51 is first on the scene with the most decorated first responder in the Sol. Nikili Echols battles the mega disaster to save her family, everyone in trouble, and entire worlds. With time running short, she’s forced to team up with her ex-husband in order to rescue their daughter and to save what remains of the solar system. His superstitions irk her like gas, but luck and organic plastic is what her plan needs to prevail.

Did one or more of them grab your attention? I’m in love with the cover art for all four books, especially Spaceberg. I’ve already read Emergence, Other Worlds is pre-ordered, The Rogue Element is on my Kindle, and Spaceberg is next on my TBR list. Let the reading commence.
