A PSYCHO-CRIMINAL EXTRATERRESTRIAL ON A SUBURBAN CUL-DE-SAC

A FAMILY ON THE BRINK OF ALL-ENCOMPASSING INSOLVENCY

A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD UBER-GENIUS DAUGHTER IN THE LINE OF FIRE

CAN SHE SAVE THE FAMILY, NOT TO MENTION THE PLANET?

An extraterrestrial crashes into a suburban cul-de-sac Colonial, absorbs every binary bit of information ever chronicled in all of human history, rearranges its molecules and presents itself as a couple of late and legendary film noir icons, then immediately displays an appetite for debauchery, depravity, decadence, and destruction, seducing the family into its psychopathic criminal orbit with irresistible Hollywood panache, alluring sexual charisma, and inconceivable intergalactic powers.…all in the name of saving the family from their emotional, marital, and financial ruin.

But uber-genius-daughter Mike Devine figures out fast that the extraterrestrial’s principal plan is to employ its unfathomable interplanetary muscle and implode the planet. Which leaves the fate of her family, not to mention the world, in her twelve-year-old hands. 

Extraterrestrial Noir is a blistering, dark-comic sci-fi crime thriller that disintegrates genre boundaries and opens the floodgates for unputdownable, edge-of-the-seat, laugh-out-loud adventure!

If you like heart-pumping plots, captivating characters, and humor that crosses the line, then blast into orbit with Rich Leder’s rocket of a read!

 

The Regression Strain by Kevin Hwang

Nobody’s safe when the inner beast awakens...

Dr. Peter Palma joins the medical team of the Paradise to treat passengers for minor ailments as the cruise ship sails across the Atlantic. But something foul is festering under the veneer of leisure. The brig fills with felons, the morgue with bodies, and the vacation becomes a nightmare.

Peter and his staff face a vile affliction that pits loved ones against each other and shatters the bonds of civil society.

With the ship hurtling towards an unprepared New York, only Peter can neutralize the threat, but he’s hallucinating and delirious.

And sometimes primal urges are impossible to resist.

The Regression Strain is a fast-paced, cerebral medical thriller that'll grab you from the first page to the last.
 

 

 

Creed of Legends by A.K. Kubica

The rumblings of war echo once more across Kresha.

Decades ago, alliances shattered the continent, birthing a fragile peace shaped by two legendary warriors. Now their legacies bear the weight of that past—and the promise of something more.

In the kingdom of Creet, a tyrant’s greed reignites conflict. As tensions rise, a legend, a commander, a politician, a warrior, and a sorceress each play their part in a war that threatens to engulf every realm.

Brudais, a famed commander and son of a legend, fights not just Hyglen’s armies, but his own king’s corruption. Loyal to Creet but loathing its ruler, Brudais walks a perilous line between patriotism and rebellion. If his breaking point comes, the war may split in two—from the outside and within.

Loya, the capital’s shrewd governor, seeks to reshape Creet’s military by introducing women into its ranks. She enlists Dania, a determined governess cast out of noble society, who trains with sword in hand to save her drafted brother. But Loya’s plans shift when she crosses paths with Eldeva, a young sorceress fleeing an abusive father and a forced marriage.

Eldeva’s allegiances blur as her powers grow darker, her vengeance more deadly. What she discovers in Creet turns her world—and its truths—on their head.

Meanwhile, in Hyglen, Morvian, a brilliant strategist, ventures into the Fayn Forest to forge a forgotten alliance. But the ancient race turns on him, stealing his voice. Now known as Morvian the Mute, he wages silent war, his mind sharp and dangerous as ever—aimed directly at Creet’s heart: Brudais.

As these five lives collide, alliances shift, secrets unravel, and old wounds bleed into new betrayals. The continent’s uneasy peace begins to crack. And once it breaks, no realm—no legend—will be safe.

Politicians find footholds, sorceresses are tested, legends are born, and kings will fall.
