Moon Life

by Marlene Fabian Stiles And Hank Fabian

Genre: Science Fiction

Synopsis

It is the year 2051 and the International Space Institute has just sent two rival astrobiologists to search for extraterrestrial life on Europa, the mysterious ice moon of Jupiter. What they encounter could not only revolutionize science, it might make one of them the most famous person on Earth. Or does the Universe have other plans?

~~~~~

Enjoy this peek inside:

Charlie was right, the phenomenon was curious. If these holes had been created by gas bubbles, why were they uniform and spaced so evenly? Dismissing the peculiarity, she began a photographic assessment of the tunnel wall.

At one point, she discovered a fissure wide enough to squeeze through and marked her location on MySpeak’s guidance system so she could retrace her steps. Then she crawled into the fissure on her hands and knees. As her light relaxed the shadows’ grip, she stared in amazement at the spacious chamber before her. Her headlamp revealed a domed ceiling interlaced with natural archways reminiscent of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Shimmering bulbs of water the size of walnuts hung from the arches like crystal ornaments. One by one they broke loose and fell in a reluctant rain, delicately splashing into a shallow pool cradled on the rocky floor.

A translucent brilliance caught her eye, and she centered her light on a glimmering mineral cluster that resembled a cache of rare gemstones. Pale green crystals seemed to come alive as her light danced across their facets. This is what he saw, it must be. Now she was grateful for her hammer. Striking the crystal as hard as she could multiple times, she finally broke off a small sample.

The raw beauty of this chamber invoked an overwhelming sense of awe as well as a realization that nothing could live on this barren moon; her mother had nothing to fear. Ming Yue conceded that she was relieved as well.

She took one final picture, then closed her eyes and spoke a silent prayer. Please let Pleiades find us so my brother can see these. A sobering possibility crept over her: she was the first human to see this fantastic grotto, and she might also be the last.

All Signs Lead To Lucy by Julieann Dove ~ Peek Inside And Giveaway

Posted: March 22, 2023 in giveaways, Romance
Tags: excerpt, giveaway, romance

Join me in celebrating the release of ALL SIGNS LEAD TO LUCY by Julieann Dove. This women’s fiction romance shares the story of Lucy Fister, who discovers that in the game of love, fate always wins. Check out an excerpt, download your copy and enter the fabulous giveaway.

All Signs Lead to Lucy

Amazon | Goodreads

After living a life of failed, predictable relationships, Lucy Fister took the advice of the psychic who charged sixty dollars for ten minutes: start seeking men who are the absolute opposite of who she dated. It made sense, but paying for the obvious meant it might work.

Tyler Tolliver met that criteria. He was an out of work actor who’d invented the love language ‘have a good time.’ They had a whirlwind relationship and after four months, he proposed, holding a bread tie for a ring, and giving the argument that the lease on his loft was expiring.

One year into her marriage with Tyler, and Lucy was tired of playing Xbox, clubbing, and watching movies before reading the book. She missed conversations deeper than picking where they’d eat, and being in bed before midnight. When her estranged best friend, Vanessa asked her and Tyler to go on a week-long trip to the Caribbean with her new fiancé, Martin VanLeer, Lucy accepted the invitation.

Fate scatters people and plans like a ceiling fan scatters loose papers. On the eve of the trip, Tyler and Vanessa respectively were called to fulfill work related tasks. The new plan was for them to meet up with Lucy and Vanessa’s fiancé in a couple of days.

One week is all it took for Martin and Lucy to fall in love. And for Lucy to realize that psychic was wrong—she didn’t need to find someone opposite of all the guys she dated, she needed to be warned of the millionaire engaged to her best friend. Because if they acted on this attraction, it meant destroying a marriage, a wedding, and a lifelong friendship.

Amazon

Enjoy this peek inside:

“The captain has been tracking a tropical storm off the coast in the path we are heading.”

My empty stomach dropped. “That doesn’t sound good.” I wanted to want this boat trip, but truth be told, it was Tyler who talked it up more than me. And of course there was us salvaging our torn relationship goal. But I’ve seen Six Days, Seven Nights. And Titanic. And Cast Away. I’m not new here. And now a storm?

Vanessa must’ve felt my heat radiating from where she sat. “Come on, Lucy. It’s fine.” She looked at Martin. “Right, honey? I mean, storms move, right?”

“Right. And that’s what we’re banking on. But we’re going to wait a day to leave. We’ll pull out at lunch tomorrow. That will ensure us that it’s moved out of the way.”

The waitress placed our drinks on the table and took off again.

What, no bread? I punctured my straw through the paper and dipped it in the ice. Ah, refreshing. Vanessa squeezed the lime wedge in her martini and sipped from the edge. Was she impervious to alcohol? Did she have an iron liver?

“How bad is it? I mean, tropical isn’t code for cyclone, right? I mean, hurricanes are still a thing, aren’t they? Don’t they typically name them after women? Maybe this one had a nice, un-destructive name like Eleanor. Or Melanie.” I needed assurance this was raindrops and a breeze, not a rip-off-the-side-of-the-boat and you’re on 60 Minutes thing, being watched by helicopter above while the sharks circled.

His mouth frowned. “I think he said winds of seventy miles per hour.”

My chest heaved. “This is a bad sign. Don’t racecars travel at 100 miles per hour? And they’re hard to watch. That’s only thirty more miles. Per hour.”

“Actually, I believe they travel much faster,” he replied.

Did it matter? Seventy certainly sounded more frightening than a graceful twenty-five. I took another drink. “First my luggage, then it appears Tyler has dropped off the edge of the earth, and now a tropical storm?” I clicked my nail on the tabletop. “No, this is definitely a sign.”

MY REVIEW

I’m sure many of you have put pairs of socks in the washer or dryer and when you took them out, one or more were missing. Have you ever wondered where they went? I have. And I loved how the missing socks in this charming children’s book raced to get back home before their absence was noticed.

Lefty and Righty escape from the dryer and head off to see the amazing city of Chicago, with the ultimate goal being to see the White Sox play. Along the way they visit many famous sites and taste some yummy hotdogs. I had as much fun as these socks learning about Chicago.

Imagine their surprise when they get to the ballgame and discover it’s not socks playing but humans. They still enjoyed the game and enjoyed many of the usual traditions while there.

Then it’s the race back home. Will they be caught out?

What a fun, clever story to educate children about Chicago. The illustrations are delightful and the adventure super fun. I can’t wait to see where these socks go next time.

5 STARS

Hairstylist Marla Vail and her husband get tangled up in murder when their Fourth of July visit to a living history village ends with a bang—and a body.

Salon owner Marla Vail and her detective husband Dalton are having a blast visiting a Florida living history village over Fourth of July weekend. But when a Seminole battle reenactment turns up a real dead body, it sets off fireworks among the villagers. One of the cast members has gone off script to murder the town marshal with a tomahawk in his head.

As Dalton gets involved in the investigation, Marla determines to help him solve the case. Her flare for uncovering secrets reveals that everyone in the village is a suspect. Instead of celebrating the holiday with red, white, and barbecues, she discovers secrets, lies, and false avenues. Did the marshal’s murder have anything to do with a lost Confederate payroll, or did his plans to renovate the park light a fuse that he couldn’t snuff out?

In a place where history comes alive, the dead bodies are piling up. Marla would rather be chilling and grilling, but somebody’s mind is on killing. If she’s not careful, her sleuthing might blow up in her face like a faulty firecracker and she’ll become the next victim. Recipes Included!

Here’s a peek inside:

“You said you’d explain why this residence is called Baffle House,” Dalton reminded their hostess before the tour concluded.

Lizzy eyes twinkled. “As I said earlier, my ancestor, Adam Canfield, sided with the Confederates during the Civil War. He housed Captain Matt Lowry and his men who were marching north to deliver a Confederate payroll. When they heard a troop of Union soldiers was headed this way, they hid the gold and escaped to the Everglades.”

She paused for dramatic effect before continuing the story. “Adam and his wife, Elizabeth, stood on the front porch and faced the Union troops. When Adam wouldn’t tell them where Captain Lowry had gone, they shot him.”

Marla clapped a hand to her cheek. “That’s horrible.”

“What happened to the gold?” Dalton asked, while Marla was still absorbing the scene in her mind. Imagine Adam’s wife seeing him killed before her eyes.

“Captain Lowry’s men failed to return, so the coins were never recovered. Nobody knew what happened to them. People have tried to find the lost payroll, but the ghost of the White Lady chases them away.”

“Who’s the White Lady?” Marla liked this legend. After her encounter with a playful spirit at Sugar Crest Plantation Resort, she believed in otherworldly phenomenon.

“Elizabeth is still here, searching for the gold so she can stave off the Union soldiers and save her husband. She’s wearing the same dress she had on the day he died. Meanwhile, the secret of the missing treasure continues to baffle people.”

“Do you believe this story is true?” Marla asked, remembering her own treasure hunt at the resort on Florida’s west coast.

Lizzy winked at Marla. “Maybe. If you want to learn more, join our nightly ghost tour. Now, you’d better hustle along if you want to get a good seat for the battle. The bleachers get filled fast.”

A night where everything begins . . . and everything ends.

For the past decade, police homicide consultant Mark Gilliam has been wasting
his life with corpses, drugs, and alcohol. Things weren’t always like this. Ten
years ago, he was a soldier, a husband, a . . . father. But it’s what he
deserves. He couldn’t protect his son from the monsters that took him away.

For the past decade, Jason Roneros has been living a reclusive life, forced to
spend the rest of his days in isolation. Things weren’t always like this. Ten
years ago, he was a well-respected author, a fighter, a . . . dreamer. But it’s
what he deserves. He trusted these monsters.

For the past decade, Mark and Jason haven’t seen each other.
But everything is about to change . . .

A murder brings them together one night, trapping them in the streets of
Chicago in search of redemption down a cryptic path that could unlock the
darkest scandal in history. As the path unrolls secrets buried in great works
of art and philosophical writings, the shadiest aspects of the human soul come
to the surface. Soon, the two men realize that those hunting them, closing in
with each passing minute, are equally dangerous as the ghosts of the past . . .

Reviews:

. . . The tension builds up to an unexpected climax which I did not see coming,
and it was a big surprise to me.”–Readers’ Favorite review
by Alma Boucher (five-star review)

“I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough . . . hard to believe it is a debut
novel.”–Books Go Social

“V.P. Evans delivers excitement at every turn in this tense thriller
novel, which starts with a gripping and intriguing premise before ramping up
its murderous twists and turns with each new discovery.”–Readers’
Favorite review by K.C. Finn (five-star review)

“V.P. Evans creates a multifaceted story that draws on different levels .
. . Its special brand of mysticism, psychological discovery, interpersonal
interactions, and close inspections of monsters and men makes it a highly
recommended read for a broad audience.”–D. Donovan, Senior
Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Da Vinci Code and Rule By Secrecy. What sets The
Rebirth apart is the incorporation of historic reasoning and its
inclusion of the philosophical ideologies of some of the world’s greatest
minds.”–Readers’ Favorite review by Jamie
Michele (five-star review)

Excerpt—From Chapter 1

Jason seemed so changed from the last time they’d met: his skin was yellow, as if forgotten by the coltish tickle of life. His face appeared exhausted, as if feckless to carry the striking features of the past. Two brusque lines around his mouth resembled deep snicks. Fitful creases whipped his forehead. His white, medium-length hair was combed back, just as it had been ten years ago, though a receding hairline now marked his forehead. His skeletal hands seemed incapable of keeping the watch fastened on his wrist, while his legs were so bony they seemed likely to break. Although Jason, like Oscar, was in his mid-sixties, he looked at least a decade
older.

“There’s no time left.”

His voice remained rich, though. It still carried the slight British accent from his days in
Oxford.

A mild shaking started traversing Oscar’s body. He put his glasses on the newspaper and
stood up, using the desk for support. “You need to leave.” He struggled to sound calm. “They were clear, Jason. We cannot be together. The deal—”

“The deal doesn’t exist anymore.” Jason scratched at his neck, above the collar of his
white shirt, where an already reddened patch of eczema had become even more
inflamed. “Dermot Walsh is dead.”

“What? How do you know—?”

“He told me himself. A few minutes ago. Texted me, pointing out his killers.”

“Murdered?” Oscar soughed, terrified by the ensuing sentence.

“By them,” Jason added, confirming Oscar’s dread. “The Imperatores are already after me.”

“Jesus.” The Imperatores. That name. Saliva filled Oscar’s mouth, choking him. “After all these years … now? Why? We had a damned agreement!” He slammed his hands on the desk, trying in vain to expel the fear inside him. His palms burned from the hit.

“To stop me,” Jason said, his words faint yet filling the huge office.

About V.P. Evans:

V.P. Evans
is the pen name of an average (and perhaps boring) guy who seems desperate to
disappear into lands far away. You would probably find him lost in a secluded
village in Estonia, wandering among the wild islands of the Azores, or
backpacking across vague paths in Asia. And sometimes, as the fading lights and
the thick darkness of this mysterious cosmos unfold before him, he has an idea
and writes it down.
