The Storyteller’s War: Geoffrey Chaucer, Reluctant Spy (The Storyteller Series Book 1)

by J.C. Corry


“The Storyteller's War is a rousing good tale that will delight the most ardent Chaucer enthusiasts and novices alike.” –Donna D. Conrad, bestselling author of The Magdalene Chronicles

March, 1366. Amid the chaos of a war-torn Spain, Geoffrey Chaucer—page to King Edward III and the son of a wine merchant—finds himself thrust into the heart of a boiling conflict between two brothers: King Pedro the Cruel of Castile and his half-brother, Enrique Trastámara.

But Chaucer’s task is far from simple. Sent as a reluctant spy by the king, he must locate the elusive mercenary Sir Hugh Calveley and persuade him to change sides in a war that could alter the fate of kingdoms. If Chaucer fails, he not only risks losing his life, but also his position at court, and the love of Pippa, the woman he cherishes.

Surrounded by ruthless enemies, seductive spies, and looming battles, Chaucer must rely on his wit, charm, and storytelling to survive the assassin’s blade and a seductress's schemes. As armies collide on the battlefield, Chaucer’s greatest challenge becomes not just turning the tide of war—but winning the battle for Pippa’s heart.

History, romance, and danger collide in this gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty, and love in medieval Europe.

Shard Awakening (The Shard Legacy Book 1)

by Martin Knaggs


A galaxy on the brink of war.
Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. It is a weapon. It is a sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again.

The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes.
The hunt begins.

The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets, the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything.

With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble.
Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again.

As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself.

The twins are not merely the key to survival.
They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.

Whistling Women and Crowing Hens: A Novel

by Melora Fern


To escape her strait-laced overbearing sister, Birdie Stauffer auditions for the all-female Versatile Quintet, Chautauqua circuit’s opening act. Through this train-traveling roadshow she experiences the tumultuous 1920s, a modern era of shocking flappers and smuggled whiskey, with the camaraderie of newfound friends. Her exceptional gift of concert whistling entertains more than songbirds as she gains national notoriety and she’s soon entangled in two romantic relationships—one with a dapper circuit manager, the other her fellow pianist. Accompanied by four other musicians—a slang slinging flapper, a confident girl-next-door, a tight-lipped loner, and a virtuoso sapphic—and following a series of traumatic events, Birdie discovers even the best relationships can be filled with misunderstandings. As she learns to trust her intuition, she finds it may cost her love interests, her sister, and maybe even herself.


About the Author

The only constant in life is change—so after multiple doozies, Melora Fern moved from Texas to North Carolina to become herself. Growing up a perpetual new kid she persevered by making-up stories and learned to hone that skill into writing fiction. As a recovering CPA, she now counts treasures and words discovered on her daily hikes. Turning the pages of her grandmother’s Chautauqua scrapbook has opened infinite research rabbit-holes and ignited her debut historical fiction. In addition to all there is with writing, she enjoys her rescue cats, gardening, and losing herself in novels of all genres.


Praise for Whistling Women and Crowing Hens

"
Whistling Women and Crowing Hens is an immersive read set in the Chautauqua circuit of the 1920s. Talented whistler and trombonist Birdie Stauffer finds herself a member of a quintet performing throughout the northeast. When small-town Birdie steps into the wider world, she discovers aspects of herself she never knew existed. Increasingly at odds with societal and sisterly expectations, she must choose between following her truth and disappointing the most important people in her life.

Melora Fern’s debut novel offers an unconventional coming of age story set against the backdrop of a nation doing the same. As the propriety of the Victorian era gives way to the anything-goes roaring twenties, women find themselves newly enfranchised and empowered, yet still traditional expectations endure.

Fern’s attention to detail and a cast of unforgettable characters make this book hard to put down. Full of the drama and humor that come from five women sharing close quarters for weeks at a time, 
Whistling Women and Crowing Hens is at times raucous, tragic, and uplifting. At its heart, this book is about finding one’s voice and singing (or whistling) it loud."

—Culley Holderfield, award-winning author of Hemlock Hollow
