EXCERPT

Christopher Robin: “If ever there’s a tomorrow when we’re not together, there’s something you must remember.” Winnie the Pooh: “And what might that be, Christopher Robin?” Christopher Robin: “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” 

— Pooh’s Grand Adventure 

 

Who you marry is the most important personal decision you’ll make in your life. 

That’s a pretty bold statement, and I stand by it. 

Here’s an even bolder statement: when choosing your spouse, imagine divorcing him. 

Seriously, imagine it. What kind of man is he? Is he kind? Is he generous? Does he see you as an equal? Will he honor and respect you even though the marriage is ending? How does he behave in a fight? 

I could go on and on with the questions, but you get the point. And I realize this is the opposite of romantic. This isn’t likely a consideration you make as you’re dating, or even once you decide to get married. But it should be. 

My story is what I refer to as fairytale-ish. I met John when I was twenty-two, in our final year of college. He was handsome, smart, funny, and unique, and he had a little bit of bad boy in him. We fell in love quickly. In fact, he blew off a graduation trip to Europe to surprise me in Mexico. I was in school in Cuernavaca, and he showed up on a random Monday afternoon. I dropped out of the school I was attending, and we traveled through Mexico together. No one knew where we were or what we were doing. Looking back, it was pretty stupid of us. But at the time, as young people in love, it was wildly romantic.

Silver Helix cover

Science Fantasy / Aetherpunk

Date Published: 12-19-2023

Publisher: Android Press

 

 

On the surface, the city of HelsInc appears to have recovered from the war
waged between humans and Ethereals, but beneath the scars, the city seethes.
The remains of magic festers, causing mutations in human DNA which could
give humans Ethereal power-not that the HelsInc government would ever let
that happen. The Legion resists, ripping out their neurochips and protesting
the mandatory gene therapy for humans with cryptomine in their DNA.

At only 19 years old, Omyn Talvinen isn’t ready to play parent to her kid
brother, but with her mom in prison on trumped up charges and her deadbeat
dad AWOL, she’s left with little choice. Forced to risk her freedom to pay
the rent, Omyn finds herself at the mercy of a pair of cyborg soldiers when
they catch her red-handed stealing nanites from a cyberware Salon. But the
synths’ powers don’t work on Omyn, and they discover they all share a common
memory that they must get to the root of.

Wanted dead by the government, Omyn and the renegade soldiers turn to a
rebel Legion group with dreams of resuscitating dead magic for help. With
the clock-ticking for the synths, Zee-Five and Omyn are forced to confront
the secrets of their past and a dark conspiracy that’ll shake the
blood-soaked foundations of the city.

 

“Van Rooyen spices up a familiar cyberpunk world with appealing,
voicey narration and an added layer of mutagenic magic.”

EXCERPT

The quickrail hurtled along the streets, past massive, cloud-scraping malls, their flanks advertising everything from exotic cuisine to the latest chip protocols promising near immortality.

People ebbed and flowed through the quickrail doors, a swell of sweat and perfume, fried street food, and the cloying, pervasive stink of the sea. The train’s ventilation system did its best to maintain a decent atmosphere in the confined cars, but the burned treacle scent of decaying magic had long ago infused the upholstery.

The crowds gradually diminished as our route took us farther north. Two songs later and the landscape morphed into pristine bands of orange, red, and gold. It was so beautiful it made me want to puke.

After the war against Ethereals, HelsInc had replanted the forests in designer patterns of birch and oak, maple, and spruce. All the delineated patterns were crafted by machines. A wild forest might have stirred residual magic from the soil, and HelsInc wasn’t going to take that chance. The apartments and homes here were all new too, all shiny replacements for those razed decades earlier.

Eventually, the landscape faded to gray as if we were reaching the limits of an in-game map, only no message flashed the warning ‘Death Imminent.’

Out of the no man’s land rose a giant zit: VankilaNorth, a lopsided pentagon metastasizing in concrete and steel, ribboned in layers of razor wire and electric fencing. The architect who designed it must have had a fetish for Brutalism. A few layers of spray paint might’ve improved it, but I doubted the people in charge would appreciate décor advice from someone like me. Guess I should be grateful for all the gross architecture begging for a face-lift. It’s not like I’d tag an Aalto or Engel creation.

I pocketed my ear pods before we hurried from the quickrail, following behind the mournful band of fellow convict families all headed for visiting hours. The protesters gathered at the prison gates were a bedraggled, motley bunch held back by barricades and bots. Several placards bore the “PEOPLE≫PROFITS!” slogan, while others read:

“BORN HUMAN, ALWAYS HUMAN.”

“HUMANITY IS MORE THAN DNA.”

Others bore the face of our former health minister with JUSTICE FOR TERHI scrawled below it.

And then there was my personal favorite: IF THE FUTURE IS HUMAN, HOW COME A DROID IS PRESIDENT?

I scanned the crowd for friends but didn’t recognize anyone. Their faces were wrapped in scarves and balaclavas. If any of the protesters had scars instead of chips, they were wise enough to keep them hidden.

Bracken tugged my hand. We’d fallen behind the others already being ushered through the first round of security checks.

“Do I look okay?” I whispered to Brack before it was our turn. I’d tried to soften my usual aesthetic by leaving the points of my hair hanging loose and my eyes devoid of shadow and liner.

“A little less like you want to punch someone than usual,” he said.

“That’ll do.” I even attempted a smile as they scanned and x-rayed every bit of us before waving us through. I tried not to panic as the visitors’ gate swung shut.

Expect the unexpected when it comes to love under the Aurora skies.

 

In the frosty mayhem of the Alaskan film set for Everybody Loves Polar
Bears
, accident-prone Macy Applegate catapults herself into a hilarious
array of mishaps better suited for a blooper reel. As Macy dreams of
stardom, she reluctantly works with Nick Westwood, the grumpiest and most
arrogant assistant director this side of the Arctic Circle—a man who
irritates her more than a stuck zipper in a sub-zero wind chill.

Beneath Nick’s stoic exterior lies a mysterious secret, and the only thing
more challenging than Alaska’s winter is these two trying to get along for
longer than a commercial break. Macy is a walking disaster in matters of the
heart, and Nick is fed up with shallow relationships. But fate has a
penchant for mischief when Nick transforms from Macy’s nemesis to her
off-screen hero, chipping away at the permafrost around her heart. Should
she give this guy a chance or continue wishing on the magical aurora
borealis for perfect love?

In this hilarious romantic comedy, where polar bears play supporting roles
and love takes center stage
, Macy and Nick navigate a situation as

bears…get ready for laughter in this heartwarming tale of unexpected
love!

Publisher: Changeling Press

 

 

Rocket: My life pretty much took a hard left a year ago when I first met
Lemon. She’s wise beyond her years and as abrasive and sarcastic as
they come. The second she busts my VP’s balls — literally — I know
I’d never be able to forget her. A year later I’m still
infatuated with the vicious woman. When she runs off to charge hell with a
water pistol, I’m right behind her wondering how we’re gonna get
out of this one alive. But I have a smile on my face and a determination to
give this woman anything she wants. Even if it means some things in my club
are going to have to change.

Lemon: Look. This is supposed to be all about how Rocket caught my eye and
I decided I wanted him but there were obstacles and…
phfffffff… Forget all that. What you need to know is when people are
stupid, they need a kick in the… Crap. I’m not supposed to
swear here. Grrrrr! Anyway, this is where I come in. Grim Road needs fixing.
I’m not exactly qualified to do club… garbage, but Rocket?
Yeah. I might have decided I’ll keep him, so… I’m great
at whipping people into shape. Grim Road, meet Lemon. See me, love me,
MF’ers.

Rocket: Just pass me the beer and popcorn…

WARNING: Rocket includes scenes of graphic violence and adult situations
including that may be triggers for some readers. There’s also a
protective hero, a determined heroine, and eventual happy ending. No
cheating, as always.

Excerpt

Copyright Marteeka Karland

 

I looked around, making sure I had a handle on our surroundings. If things
went south, our best bet was to get back in the truck and do our best to get
the hell outta Dodge. I had no idea if the thing was bulletproof — knowing
the Iron Tzars, there was every possibility it was — but we’d have to
keep our heads down and book it as hard as we could. If I ran over someone
in the process? Fuck ‘em.

“Get that look off your face, girl.” Rocket stepped closer to
us, his gaze focused squarely on me. “We ain’t gonna pounce on
you. You’re here to let Scarlet get anything she wants that she left
behind, and to talk to Sunshine and Rainbow.”

“We’re here to take Sunshine and Rainbow with us,” I
snapped before anyone could say anything else. “Not leavin’
‘em here.”

“You will if they don’t want to go.” Rocket didn’t
raise his voice or even look angry. His features were mild. Reasonable
even.

“Scarlet’s their guardian now. They’ll go where she
says.” I stuck my chin up. I thought I heard Mars groan, but I
didn’t dare take my gaze from Rocket to make sure.

“They’re old enough to make up their minds what they want to
do. If they don’t want to leave Grim Road, I’ll look after
them.”

“Not on your fuckin’ life.” I bared my teeth at Rocket
who looked amused. Which just pissed me the fuck off. “How ‘bout
I wipe that smug grin off your fuckin’ face.”

That got a couple chuckles from the members of Grim Road nearby.

“That one’s askin’ for a whoopin’, Prez. You gonna
teach her some manners?”

“Yep.” Rocket crossed his muscled arms over his massive chest.
He wore jeans and a leather cut without a shirt under it so he showed off a
lot of muscle and tattooed skin. “Just not now. She ain’t old
enough.”

“Like fuck you are.” I took a step toward Rocket, fully
intending to give him more of what I’d given him last night but Mars
held out his arm to prevent me from going around him.

“Just calm down, Lemon. He’s baiting you.”

“Lemon?” Bear barked out a laugh. “Her name’s
Lemon.” It wasn’t phrased as a question.

“You got a problem with that, fuckwit?” I ignored Mars. I knew
they were baiting me. Of all of Scarlet’s protectors, I was the weak
link and they were testing my boundaries and how far they could push
me.

“I got a problem with your mouth. Maybe there’s somethin’
else you could do with it.”

“Bear,” Rocket growled, his facial expression changing like
someone had flipped a switch. “She’s underage.”

“Yeah?” I plowed on, ignoring Rocket. “Try it. See what
body part you lose, you freak.”

Bear leaned forward in my direction but didn’t actually commit to
taking the full step. Then he pointed at me. “Your day’s comin,
lil’ bit.”

I sneered, looking the big man up and down like a princess eyeing a filthy
peasant who’d been mucking out the pig barn. “Not from
you.”

“Can we please get a move on?” Brick actually raised his voice.
That was new. Usually, he just growled or snarled and everyone jumped to do
his bidding. Well, everyone except Serelda. He never used his growly voice
with her.

“Sure. Soon as the Neanderthal gets the fuck outta the way.” I
gave Bear a cheerful wave.

“Glad that one’s leavin’,” he muttered as he
stepped back. “Someone needs to teach her some manners.”

“I only use manners with people who earn that respect from
me.”

“Which is to say no one.” I thought that was Smoke, but the man
didn’t know me that well. OK, so maybe he did. ‘Cause yeah.
Manners were for pussies.
