Of course, I have more than just one new release for you. Here are some other new faces (covers) on the block:
The Chemist, by Stephanie Meyer
Here is one that I am excited to read by the author of The Host and the Twighlight series.
In this gripping page-turner, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life. She used to work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn’t even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. Now, she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They’ve killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realizes it’s her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous. Resolving to meet the threat head on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life, but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of. In this tautly plotted novel, Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialized skill set. And she shows once again why she’s one of the world’s bestselling authors.
The Nature of Man, Life and Humanity, by Joseph Stadtmiller (freebie!)
The Nature of Man, Life and Humanity tells the story of the cosmos, Sun and Earth: the evolution of mankind expanding across the continents, the tools that aided us, the cultural networks that brought us together, the spirituality that answered what we didn’t understand. Along the way we began thinking that technology could solve all of our problems; our nature connection became a thing of the past. Mankind began a struggle against nature as brutal as the wars we perpetrated amongst ourselves, a war taking place in the air and water with the degradation of the land, the annihilation of ecosystems and biodiversity, concluding with the consumption of Earth itself. Climate stability is collateral damage as the human population continues to explode. While much of the environmental discourse currently focuses on climate change, this story is also about the issues regarding air, water, topsoil, biodiversity, energy and natural resources, and how mankind is attacking each of these areas with equal disregard.
No Tears Tomorrow, by Tony Nash (freebie!)
From Norfolk to Normandy – a family goes to war.
The 16-year old twins, David and Emma, in the carefree world of the mid-30s, joke about becoming spies.
To Commander Gregory, head of what will become the SOE, espionage is no joke, and he already has his eye on them.
Despite strong opposition from their father, they and their younger brother, James, and their Belgian friend, Nicole, become major players on the great stage that was the Second World War.
Emma’s rape hardens her resolve and she finds her niche in life is that of a highly accomplished assassin.
Life becomes a stampeding kaleidoscope of horrific hardship and daily danger; of incredible courage and unbelievable achievement, of daily death and ghastly disfigurement, and of moments of incredible joy and of hot, despairing tears.
Shillelagh Law, by Joseph Ferguson
This eclectic collection of short fiction explores the human condition in all its absurdity, beauty, and heartbreak. Some are simple, uncomplicated tales; others are quirky or filled with symbol and allusion. Some are coming-of-age tales; some funny, some horrific. Still others examine themes of redemption or ruin.
Daddy and the World’s Longest Poo, by Brydie Wright
Do you ever wonder why daddies disappear for hours on end? Where on earth do they go?

This debut picture book from self-published author Brydie Wright will delight pre-school and early primary readers with its honesty and sense of humour. Mums, Dads and grandparents will get a cheeky laugh out of it too.
Brave Vulnerable, by Sheen Francis Reyes
This collection of poetry is a story about love, abuse, loss, and longing. It’s the product of over a year and a half of unbelonging, of tear-drenched pillows, and of euphoria and pain that won’t let you sleep unless turned into ink.
This book will definitely touch anyone who is drunk in wanderlust, has a quivering heart, and has been separated to the one and only person they have a unique connection with by distance, wrong timing, and misjudgment.
