"Thoughtful, moving and very funny sonnets. I enjoyed them immensely." - Alan Arkin Oscar winning actor & author
If Shakespeare were a lady…
Sonnets from Suburbia features Lady Penelope (aka actress Penny Peyser) serving up a funny take on modern day life in Shakespearean sonnet form.
From the foibles of friendship, to romantic relationships gone awry, to aging bodies that misbehave, to the woes of social media and confounding familial tussles, she has the uncanny ability to make us smile out loud and chuckle with recognition. One of those books for when you need a good laugh.
The clever, compassionate sonnets inside this book make a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine’s Day and are sure to delight women over 40 (all female readers actually) and the men who love them.
Think Shakespeare at the mall.
For fans of Judith Viorst, Amy Sedaris and Dorothy Parker. Sonnets from Suburbia is long-time actress Penny Peyser’s first foray into poetry and sonnets, and she couldn’t be more thrilled about this new venture.
Joshua has inherited leadership of the Israelites and the divine imperative to provide them a homeland entirely their own. Before him, Jericho and the nations of Canaan glimmer with arms, wealth and impure blood. Can the soft-hearted Joshua clean away the pagans? Can his virtue persevere in the face of Israel's fearsome destiny? Can the Chosen People remain good so long as they remain chosen? Joshua and the Chosen People is a fictional retelling of the conquest of the Holy Land. Firmly committed to portraying the humanity of both conquerors and conquered, Joshua and the Chosen People will make you question the value of "proud heritage" and the nature of goodness.
Break Free from the Politeness Trap and Rediscover Authentic Connection
In a world where politeness and "not rocking the boat" are often valued more than honesty, "Just Say It... Even If It Hurts" is your passport to incredible relationships.
We're conditioned from childhood and throughout our adult relationships to fear saying the truth, to withhold speaking our true feelings and desires, believing that genuine, honest and frank communication might be taken the wrong way. Or worse yet, cause an argument or bring the end of a cherished relationship. But at what cost?
The Minimum Wage Sidekick returns in an all-new adventure!

The culprit: A supervillain knight known as Slasher seeking to conquer Golden City in the name of his mysterious king. Slasher is willing to kill anyone who stands in the way of his conquest of the city and Beams and Rubberman are at the top of his hit list.
Now Beams must use all of his cunning, strength, and powers to defeat Slasher and save Golden City. Yet when Beams' own failing powers threaten to kill him, defeating Slasher may be the least of his troubles.

He’s not sure they should trust him, although he likes it.
His two-legged Yollin partner is trying to learn the English side of the Galactic Common language, but that doesn’t always work out so well.

Are the Gods selfish or just determined?
In the City of Chessman Bishop, where mortals and gods intermingle, the answer differs from who you ask. Kai Meng, an otherworldly being inhabiting a human host, sees the world through a different lens than Pammy, a member of a rival alien sect. Neither of them would share the same perspective as the formidable Marian Snow, whose loyalty lies with her own deity. And then there's Holly Barnes, a woman of atheistic origins who views these beings not as pious soldiers, but as eerie metaphysical monsters.
The City of Chessman Bishop is a place where the gods' influence is undeniable, and their followers are unwavering in their devotion. When Holly unwittingly becomes the focal point of a cosmic struggle, the Worshipers of Neiphrolyn set their sights on her, intent on drawing her into their intricate web of espionage. Yet the local Followers of Etznoelle also take an interest in Holly, with plans that could alter the very fabric of reality.
In a world where divine forces clash and mortal lives hang in the balance, Holly must navigate the treacherous waters of a galactic domination game. Will she emerge unscathed, or will she become a pawn in the hands of beings whose motivations are as mysterious as the cosmos itself?
A ship from Earth is coming, but it's not what they expect
Patrick and Susan have enjoyed a relatively peaceful life on the colony of Tau Ceti 2, twelve light years from Earth. However, everything changes when the starship Asimov arrives.
Asimov is unlike any other ship that has graced the Tau Ceti colony in the past, and when it announces a new project—a groundbreaking device called a "Link," designed to facilitate faster-than-light communication between the colony and Earth, eliminating the isolating twelve-year message delay—Susan volunteers to assist.
Susan discovers that the library ship, designed to house all of Earth's knowledge, was programmed to keep much of its knowledge from the colonists—information that could help grow the colony.
Forbidden knowledge and hidden truths become a problem. The forbidden knowledge, once revealed, is the key to growing the colony, but the hidden truths threaten that growth.
Many among the colonists are suspicious of Earth’s intentions. More immediately, is the other colony settlement—the Ellis Research Station two hundred miles from Grissom—supporting Earth’s plans?
Can they uncover Earth's endgame amid Asimov's vast archives, or will they become pawns in a battle that forever alters the colony’s future?
The first novel in the Library Ship Saga, a fascinating voyage into the future.
A captivating tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding power of choice.
The kingdom of Rulara is at peace… for now. Held together by innovation and belief, and led by the broken magic of an old religion, the humans celebrate their golden age even as the land dies around them. Only savage outlanders resist their rule, like the barbaric raiders and pagan-worshiping shai-el.
Out in the rural swamplands, one young shai-el wants only to protect her people. With her village’s sacred stone, Pepper finally has her chance. But when saving the life of an enemy means sacrificing the safety of her people, she must travel deeper into human territory to uncover secrets long buried.
Deep in the center of Rulara, an outspoken skeptic craves those secrets. Faced with his own looming mortality, Jack’s only hope for answers or survival is the church. Caught between arrogance and lies, Jack must choose whether to pursue his own pride, or the truth.

Forever overshadowed by his elder brother, Verom yearns to step into the light and distinguish himself.
Driven by an unquenchable desire to regain control of his destiny, he embarks on a daring journey that will change the course of his life.

Halsey Ambrosius is the best
elemental monster-hunter in her Clan militia.
Have you ever wondered where monsters came from? Their origin has been kept a secret for centuries.
As long as Halsey and Brigham, her cousin turned mission partner, were on the hunt, you
didn’t need to wonder, or worry. Till now.
Keeping people in the dark is not so easy when supernatural things stop following the rules and the Clan Council doesn't want to accept that something is very, very wrong.
It's a full moon, the Summer Solstice, and an ancient coffin has washed up on the beaches of Moher, Ireland. Could the Mother of Monsters really have returned? It's just not possible.
Halsey's convinced it's more than mere coincidence. The Ambrosius Clan just doesn’t want to believe.
They think Halsey is losing her mind—an apparent family trait—and needs a break from
monster hunting.
Mandatory leave isn’t as much fun if it’s mandatory. Or when you're the only hunter who really knows what's going on.
But the Ambrosius Clan Council still knows that when all else fails—and all other militia operatives just aren't up to snuff—Halsey is still the best they've got. Even if everything they thought they knew about being monster-hunters is
about to change forever.
Can Halsey dig up enough evidence to prove that the elementals' ancient foe has returned to level the monstrous playing field? Or will it be too late to prepare for what's to come?

A vessel can heel to one side, but at a certain point, it will no longer balance above water—and it capsizes. This is the angle of vanishing stability.
Thea West, a Northern Californian teenager growing up in the late sixties and early seventies, is one of five daughters trying to stay afloat amid the psychologically catastrophic dynamic between her parents—a covert and commanding mother and an ocean-yachtsman father. A talented sailor and businessman, Mr. West suffers from crippling alcoholism, with frequent rages that mask his fragility. Thea longs to know how to sail, but in her world, traversing the water is a skill that belongs only to men, and she’s terrified to ask her larger-than-life father to teach her.
When her father’s demons drive him to a new low, Thea isn’t sure if she can ever learn to forgive. She strikes out from home in search of love and self, running from what she views as the problem—her father and his hold on her family. As Thea falls in and out of affairs, marriages, and jobs, her travels take her from New York to Nicaragua and finally back to California. There, she must reckon with the legacy of her father’s love and failure and decide whether she’ll let her past capsize her future—or if she can finally find balance with a life of her choosing.

What if you could take a vacation to your past?
With her celebrated humor, insight, and heart, beloved New York Times bestseller Emma Straub offers her own twist on traditional time travel tropes and a different kind of love story.
On the eve of her fortieth birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, and her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her sixteenth birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush—it’s her dad, the vital, charming, forty-something version of her father with whom she is reunited.

From the ashes of a dying world, a god will rise.
As an out of shape nerd, Gabriel Rivera had more pressing issues than outlandish things like godhood: Evacuating the city, joining the military, and protecting his family. Simple right?
Everything changed when the PAC invaded.
When the grim fate of his world is revealed, Gabriel joins the Reclaimer Project to save his family. A lowly F ranker, he’s weaker than even the worst recruits. Good thing he’s too stubborn for his own good.
Through blood and sweat Gabriel aims to grow stronger and rise above the rest.
Deadly traps lurk around every corner, mysterious factions move in the shadows, and dormant powers within him manifest in wild and dangerous ways.
Battered, bruised, and beaten, Gabriel refuses to stay down. For only in the fires of The Crucible are legends forged.
Two young lovers find each other just as the Vietnam War, the Antiwar Movement, and the Black Power Movement near their explosive peaks. Excitement, danger and heartache lie ahead. It’s September 1967. Steve Harris – white, idealistic, naïve -- begins his freshman year. During that year, he will fight to end the war, fall in love, confront painful truths about his family, and be jailed and beaten by police. Through this crucible, he emerges with a transformed consciousness, of the world and of himself.
His awakening begins with a rousing antiwar speech delivered by Emma Gold, a Depression-era radical. When Emma introduces him to young Cat Crawford -- inter-racial, brilliant and exotically beautiful – his bewitching is complete. The two students’ instant friendship blossoms before long into a passionate love affair. Their bond is tested, though, by the mounting demands of the times, and by their own deep-seated psychological issues. 1968 is marked by campus unrest, urban rebellion, assassinations, and political violence that leads the two into clashes with the Chicago Police and the National Guard. The story builds to a heartrending climax during the street battles surrounding the Democratic National Convention.
This is a complex, fast-paced journey on an emotional roller coaster, punctuated by flashes of self-discovery, and bursting with political and sexual passions.
"A deftly crafted and complexly layered novel of immense passion and divisive politics that is a quite accurate portrayal of the events and issues backgrounding this emotionally dazzling story from beginning to end, "Riot: A 1960s Love Story" establishes author Charles S. Isaacs as a truly extraordinary and gifted novelist. Very highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review

I bring you tales of Lords who went to a “copper hell” for an evening’s entertainment and lost their fortunes through nefarious means. What will they be willing to do to get it back?
Gambling was an accepted pastime during Regency times and people would bet on anything!

While wealthy men gambled in clubs, players could depend upon an honest game but there were also less reputable places to play. People from all classes gambled in the “copper hells” but cheating was common.

Trading Into Shadow, Book 1:
But, with shadow monsters and raiders closing the trade routes, she’s out of a job, and lost beneath the ruins of one of the greatest cities of the world. She doesn’t need a deserted farm to complicate things… or a parentless pup… or to be hunted by a hoshkat. What she needs is to find a way home… through the dark… but the predators are out in force, and home is a very long way away.
Can she discover what happened at Leon’s Deep, in time to stop it from happening again? Or did she escape the ambush, only to see the rest of her world fall to the ones behind it?
Trading Into Darkness, Book 2:
A face from the past, an attempted theft, and a death threat: Just what every girl needs to make a bad day better.
Everyone has the ability to do magic, but not everyone can... Marsh knows the saying well.
What she doesn’t expect is that there are some forms of magic she just can’t master.
With the fate of the Four Caverns hanging in the balance, and raiders closing on the monastery, Marsh thinks the last thing she needs is to discover she can’t re-light the trail glows.
In fact, the last thing she needs is a violent visitor from the past and the promise that her refuge will fall.
Haunted by the warning, she and the shadow mages must clear the trade route to Ruins Hall and establish a fighting force to protect the Four Caverns, a task easier said than done.
Can she make it through the tunnels alive and discover what links her failed delivery to the raiders?
One courier, one kat, two kids and a shadow mage not so alone in the dark.
Trading Close to Light, Book 3:
In Marsh’s world the monsters are real and shadows can be used as weapons.
Anyone can call the magic, but the magic they can wield is never guaranteed. Some call shadows, and some shape the stone and earth around them, while others heal or walk through minds.
Marsh can bring the lightning, draw poison from wounds and become one with the dark, but the idea of seeing her uncle and cousins, again, leaves her cold.
They’re the only family she has, and they don’t even know she survived.
The trade route between Ruins Hall and Kerrenin’s Ledge is crawling with raiders and shadow monsters, but dealing with them seems a cakewalk in comparison, and seeing her family, again, isn’t the only challenge that lies ahead.
Together with Roeglin and the kat, Marsh must help Kerrenin’s Ledge develop a force to protect itself and the trade routes around it, and its Council has a small favor to ask.
Can Marsh survive a family reunion, chase down a traitorous boss, and have another township join their fight against the raiders?

Trading By Firelight, Book 4
Trading By Shroomlight, Book 5
