The lab report came back…
… “zero evidence of any known narcotic.”
Why do they have six dead?

DEA Special Agent Peter Malloy is no stranger to the devastating impact of drugs. These bodies, though, are different. This isn’t his typical opioid case.

Why are there medical ports implanted in the victims’ spines?

This case is a puzzle, and he doesn’t have all the pieces. But one thing is certain in his world: power and greed are at the heart of most horrific crimes, and someone’s trying to shut him down. Will he be able to break the case before more people die? Before he himself becomes a target?

Allison’s job as an executive at biotech giant, Quandary Therapeutics, is her passion. She loves the work. But after her boss, Austin, is arrested for SEC violations, everything changes. She begins to suspect he was up to more than stock manipulation.

Was he doing illegal genetic experimentation?

When she becomes the target of the FBI’s investigation, Allison has only one move. She must find out what he was working on. There’s just one problem. Some secrets will be protected at any cost.

Who is behind the eerie desert cult where true believers seem perilously addicted to suffering, devoted to becoming Pure? And why are they coming after her?

As Malloy and Allison get closer to the truth, they begin to realize they’re about to uncover the most chilling medical discovery in human history.

Will it get them killed?

You’ll love this gripping suspense thriller because it’ll make you keep reading until you’re afraid to turn off the light and go to sleep.

New Eden by Kishore Tipirneni

About New Eden by Kishore Tipirneni

“One of the best hard sci-fi books I’ve read in years . . .”
“Mind boggling. New Eden will change the way you view the universe and life itself.”

After the untimely death of his mentor, Berkeley physicist Joshua Andrews has dedicated himself to finishing his mentor’s life work: creating entangled particles that can communicate faster than light. When scientific journalist Rachael Miller comes to interview him at his lab, they make an astounding discovery, one as ancient as the universe itself.

During the early moments of the Big Bang, entangled particles were created that spread with the expansion of the universe creating a subatomic communication network—a network that Joshua and Rachael have accidentally tapped into.

This discovery sets the pair off on an incredible journey of revelation that profoundly alters the course of human history and redefines the meaning of life itself. Their journey ultimately leads them to a distant planet, New Eden, a genetically engineered paradise designed to be the new home for humanity.

“Einstein was wrong. Light is not the fastest thing in the universe . . . information is. And everything is information.”

Time Is Irreverent 2: Jesus Christ, Not Again! by Marty Essen

Marty Mann and Nellie Dixon are back for another irreverent, liberal, twisty, time-travel comedy! This time they have Jesus Christ, the actual guy, on their side.

This thought-provoking satire answers the question, “What would happen if Jesus time traveled to 2020 America?” Would the Soldiers of the White Jesus and other far-right groups accept a profanity-loving, gun-hating, brown-skinned Jesus who preached in favor of liberal values? Find out in this hilarious sequel to the Amazon #1 Best-Seller.

Jesus Christ, Not Again! is the second book in the Time Is Irreverent series. Each novel is a stand-alone adventure, and a humorous prologue quickly gets readers up-to-date.

“An excellent follow-up to the original, and this from someone who typically hates sequels! All the same great characters and more, plus Jesus–although not your mama’s Jesus. The funny is funnier, the crazy crazier, and the politics even more in your face (in the good way!) If you loved the first, you’ve got to read the second. Well done, Marty!”—Jeff Abugov, writer, producer, director, and Golden Globe Award, Peabody Award, and People’s Choice Award-winner

Time Is Irreverent by Marty Essen

An irreverent, liberal, twisty, time travel comedy!

What if you could change history to eliminate slavery, World War II, the Spanish Inquisition, global warming, and an egomaniacal nuclear-bomb-dropping US president? What if that change also made 5 billion people poof from existence? Would you do it? Time Is Irreverent explores those questions, as benevolent aliens send Marty Mann to AD 31 to correct an error in history.

Spanning from the Cretaceous period to 2056, Time is Irreverent is a hilarious, thought-provoking satire, with unpredictable twists, colorful aliens, huge dinosaurs, a smokin’ hot lesbian from the future, and a cameo from Jesus Christ himself!

“Highly recommend. It’s fun, clever, cool, witty, surprising, political, sexy, everything a sci-fi book should be. And as someone who’s also written a sci-fi-time-travel-humor novel, I love that Marty Essen doesn’t break the time rules he sets up from the start – so many sci-fi authors do, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s just lazy writing. Not the case here! Yes, his characters learn and adapt and grow, but the foundation of his rules remain intact always. To repeat: fun, witty, surprising, sexy. Highly recommend.”—Jeff Abugov, writer, producer, director, and Golden Globe Award, Peabody Award, and People’s Choice Award-winner

“This is a clever and complex story that continues in the tradition of the original. Thank you, H.E. Wilburson, for bringing it back to life.”

A must listen for any retro Science Fiction fans. Great fun and ideal for listening on road trips or on a vacation.”

Lyon’s Legacy by Sandra Ulbrich Almazan

Permafree e-book!

Sometimes being a geneticist isn’t enough to understand your family….

Joanna Lyon is the great-granddaughter of the legendary TwenCen musician Sean Lyon. Joanna may have inherited some of her ancestor’s musical talent, but her parents’ bitter divorce and her Uncle Jack’s attempts to remake her into another Sean have left her hostile toward her family and music. Her passion is for science, but since she has no access to the family funds, she struggles to earn enough credits for graduate school. Then her uncle sets up a business deal with her employer to make Joanna go on a mission for him: travel via the spaceship Sagan to an alternate TwenCen universe where Sean is still alive.

Joanna must collect a DNA sample from Sean so her uncle can create a clone of him. She refuses at first, but finally agrees to go. Secretly, however, Joanna believes her uncle will exploit the clone, and she plans to sabotage the project to stop him. But when she falls in love with one of the scientists in the Sagan’s genetics lab, clashes with other time travelers who fear she’ll change how history develops on the alternative TwenCen Earth, and receives devastating personal news, Joanna will find herself pushed to her limit even before she comes face-to-face with her hated ancestor. Their encounter will leave her changed forever.

Will she still be able to thwart her uncle’s plan, and what will she have to sacrifice to do so?
