Out Of Body

by Kimberly Baer

 

 

Genre: YA / Paranormal / SciFi

Synopsis

Those weird dreams Abby Kendrick has been having? Turns out they aren’t dreams after all. They’re out-of-body experiences, like the ones her cousin Logan is having. At first Abby has fun with her new ability, using it to spy on her neighborhood crush and spook a mean girl. But when Logan gets in trouble on the astral plane, the game changes, and Abby must bend the rules of out-of-body travel as she journeys to a distant realm. Her mission is a perilous one, and success is not guaranteed. Can she save Logan and find her way home again? Or will the cousins be lost forever on the astral plane?

Enjoy this peek inside:

I strode back to the coffee table and pressed the off button on the remote. Instantly the TV went blind and silent, like a lopped-off head. But I didn’t make it to my bedroom. Before I could take another step, I saw it again, that flitting movement near the recliner. This time there was an accompanying noise—the unmistakable rustling of clothing.

I turned in dread, and at long last there was something to see. I felt the briefest flicker of triumph—Ha! Caught you!—before the horror of the situation thumped me in the chest.

My dad’s jacket had come to life. It was floating in the air beside the recliner, puffy and solid as if inhabited by a body. The sleeves were waving: Hey, look at me!

I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t move. My vision darkened as if I was going to pass out, but if I did, that would be the end of me, because that thing would come over and strangle me. It was a disembodied jacket. It couldn’t be up to any good.

The jacket’s sleeves reached down. They bent at the elbows. Up went the jacket’s zipper with a z-z-zip sound.

Somehow I managed to draw in a big, rasping breath, and I screamed. I screamed loudly enough to wake the Halloween dead.

Then I ran for the front door.

Discover what happens when a young woman
unexpectedly finds herself inside a book of fairytales where she is charged
with breaking a frog prince’s curse and searching for a way home.

Every good fairytale begins with “Once Upon a Time,” or
they’re supposed to at least. But for twenty-five year old Josephine Hart, her
Once Upon a Time” began with her literally crash
landing inside a book of fairy tales and nearly crushing a frog—who is actually
a prince. An annoying, snarky frog prince named Aneurin, seeking the kiss of
true love to break his curse. He vows that if Jo agrees to help him find his
princess, he will get her home.

With every turn of the page, their adventure leads them deeper into fairytales
familiar to Jo. Through their journey, they discover that despite their initial
clashing, they’re both exactly what each other needs. It is only when they
encounter a devious man with a talent for spinning straw into gold that they
realize just how quickly their plot can take an unexpected twist.

 

 .

Enjoy this peek inside Until the Last Page:

 

“Surely, you must be from the southern lands. Just look at your attire,” the frog continued,
lifting a small hand towards me.

I couldn’t help but notice the way his knobby little fingers were webbed together. I slid
my gaze down to my white knotted top and jeans shorts before lifting my eyes
back to the frog.

The creature’s eyes remained transfixed on me, as if I was the one from a foreign
country.

            “These are my clothes.”

            “As I can see. Such attire must come from the Southern Lands,” it replied before adding, “where the peasants get their clothes from the rag bin.” 

Now, this animal was just offensive. 

            You’re a frog,” I retorted, as though that should have been enough to refute his insult. This was
going on record as one of the most bizarre dreams I’d ever had in my life. As a
child, I’d always dreamed of possessing the ability to speak with animals, just
as nearly every fairytale princess could. But this…this was not what
I imagined—a creature of such small, slimy stature, commenting so rudely on my
attire.

            “For now,” he responded. “And you’re just a girl who nearly drowned me.” 

            “I thought the water would help you,” I replied quickly, biting the inside of my cheek. 

The frog crossed its arms against its chest. It was weird that he not only talked like a
human, but acted like one, too. 

            “As I said, I nearly drowned thanks to you,” the frog scowled. 

            “Well, I’m sorry,” I quipped, rolling my eyes. I couldn’t believe I was having this conversation, with a frog, nonetheless. 

            “Perhaps we could start with
introductions,” the frog continued, rising to his feet. Unable to hide my
astonishment at his ability to stand on two legs, I just stared. 

            “Uhh…” 

“Is that your way of agreeing?” he asked. “Or is that your name?” 

“I’m not giving you my name,” I replied, shaking my head. 

            “And why not?” 

            “It doesn’t really matter, does it?” I looked down at him, incredulous. 

The frog frowned at my hesitation. “Have you forgotten it?”

“No, I haven’t forgotten it,” I snapped, shaking my head.

Seven Perfect Days

by Francesca Vespa

 

Publication date: February 17th 2024
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

.
Sometimes your friends break your heart the most.

Maggie Lomax dodged the most painful moment of her life, but her eccentric best friend Alexandra isn’t going to let her get away that easy. High School might finally be over, but they still need to clean up the mess left behind.

Things look grim, until Maggie meets Adam Moon, a handsome foreign student and sweet, kind soul who’s just as messed up as her. The only problem is he disappeared, and nobody knows what happened to him.

An unusual offer from an old school acquaintance to travel abroad may be a chance for Maggie to move on. New sights, new sounds and new adventures may be just what she needs, but the past has a way of catching up with her, and so does Alexandra. Maggie may find her guy, but it could be at the worst possible time.

This contemporary romantic black comedy travels the world, hopping islands, traversing continents, sailing oceans. It tells a big tale from small intimate ones. The story is set on the sails of courage, flying a flag to joy and friendship, heartbreak and love.

Enjoy this peek inside:

It was my cousin who did it.

Well, kind of.

I mean, he really did it, but he’s not really my cousin. He’s actually my father’s cousin’s daughter’s husband; Zayn. I also have two other cousins called Zain, but they had nothing to do with it. Probably.

I was over at my uncle’s house, and I snuck out for a smoke. Big house, big garden, big dinner party, so nobody noticed. That’s where I saw Zayn in the library with the gun. I only saw it for a moment before he wrapped it up. I thought if a guy like that had a gun, he was definitely going to use it for something later on.

He didn’t see me, thank goodness. I probably should have said something to somebody, but who would listen to me? I am the Devil, after all, and Satan is the father of lies. The only person who talked to me was my brother, and if I said anything to that idiot, he’d probably be dead now. So yeah, I got out of town, and went on vacation.

That’s why it annoys me that I get the blame. If they were planning this whole thing then, how can I be the cause of all the trouble now?

The point is that you may be right when you say life can go real nuts sometimes.
