LYKAIA
by Sharon Van Orman
“I'm afraid I won't be able to properly express my fascination with LYKAIA. It was such an awesome read I would definitely recommend it to all who'd love to spend some quality time with a really well-written book.
The main character, forensic pathologist Sophia Katsaros gets a phone call from Greece and finds out that her brothers have been missing for two months. She goes there to start an investigation of her own that might not end well for her.
This book has everything in it to satisfy a fastidious reader: really well thought-through plot line, fleshed out characters, tension, suspense, and more. I read the second half of the novel in one sitting, so riveting it was. I enjoyed Sharon's manner of writing. It is of the highest quality.”

WAITING IN THE SILENCE
by Rosalyn W. Berne
"Praise is due for this debut novel set in post-apocalyptic Nantucket in the USA, The complexity is dynamic between nano-enhanced humans who have access to universal knowledge and the independents whose access is limited. Oriana, our heroine, dangles between them, sometimes condemned and sometimes praised. The virtual mysterious intelligence, which rules the community, must control Oriana for she is the source of fertility for many barren women. Suspense. Drama. And the ending is a delightful surprise."
- Louise Meriwether, author, “Daddy Was A Number Runner”
SEASON OF THE DEAD
by Lucia Adams, Paul Freeman,
Gerald Johnston, & Sharon Van Orman
"It is said that unto everything there is a season...these are the stories of a group of survivors during the season of the dead."
Four individuals fight to survive as the zombie apocalypse crashes over the world in a wave of terror and destruction. Color, creed, and social standing mean nothing as the virus infects millions across the planet.
Sharon: a zoologist from Nebraska, USA, has worked with the virus, and has seen the effects on the human mind. She knows more about the virus than nearly anybody alive, and far more than she wants to. Gerry: from Ontario, Canada, he gets his first taste of the virus from inside a prison cell. Locked up after an anti-government riot, his prison guard transforms before his eyes into a flesh craving zombie. Lucia: a chemist from Pittsburgh, USA, flees from a furry convention dressed as a giant squirrel, and escapes from the city in a Fed-Ex van. She's a girl who knows when to run and when to fight. Paul: thinks he can sit out the apocalypse in his apartment block in Dublin, Ireland, until the virus comes to visit, bursting his bubble and leaving him with no choice but to face reality or perish.
All four begin perilous journeys in mind and body as they face daily trials to survive: Four threads, four different parts of the world, one apocalypse!
