      <image:caption>Ess wakes up alone on a sailboat in the remote Pacific Northwest with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She finds a note, but it's more warning than comfort: Start over. Don't make yourself known. Don't look back. Ess must have answers. She sails over a turbulent ocean to a town hundreds of miles away that, she hopes, might offer insight. The chilling clues she uncovers point to a desperate attempt at erasing her former life. But why? And someone is watching her...someone who knows she must never learn her truth. In Ess's world, the earth is precariously balanced at a climate tipping point, and she is perched at the edge of a choice: which life does she want? The one taken from her—and the dangerous secret that was buried—or the new one she can make for herself? A galvanizing riddle that is just as unmooring as it seems, this sharp character-driven odyssey explores a future challenged by our quickly changing world and the choices we must make to save what matters most.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Some curses can’t be broken. Some love refuses to die. Olena hunts werewolves with a crossbow and a single rule. No mercy. It's the only way to survive when the same curse sleeps in her blood. But when a shadow spell strikes her mother and forbidden magic becomes her only hope, Olena must turn to Valentyn—her former hunting partner and the ex who destroyed her. Working together means confronting the secrets that tore them apart while hiding what she did the night the isle burned. It means pretending her heart doesn't still betray her every time he's near. As ancient werewolf packs circle the shores and someone sends messages that threaten to expose her, Olena realizes the monsters in the forest aren't the only ones with fangs. The beast is waking. The lies are unraveling. And mercy might be the most dangerous choice of all. Perfect for readers who love werewolf romance, second-chance love with bite, and morally gray heroines who hunt the monsters they're destined to become.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mark Herron has sworn off complicated relationships. After a brutal divorce and watching his wife walk away because she couldn't handle their son, five-year-old Gabe, Mark's priority is simple: give his non-verbal autistic son the best life possible. Then he meets Tori. Freshly separated after sacrificing her own education and career for a husband who betrayed her, Tori is determined to stay single and figure out what comes next. But when she casually mentions her experience working with children on the autism spectrum, Mark nearly chokes on his drink. She's exactly what Gabe needs. There's just one problem: Tori has already made it clear she's not interested in men—or anything resembling a relationship. So Mark invents a fictional friend, Dr. Chris Herron, and offers Tori a job working with his son. He'll keep his distance, respect her boundaries, and absolutely won't hit on her. At least, that's the plan. Because the more time Mark and Tori spend together, the harder it becomes to keep their professional arrangement separate from the attraction neither of them can ignore. And when Tori discovers the “job opportunity” came from the man sitting across from her all along, Mark will have to convince her that the one thing he never lied about was how much he wants her in his life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>WITCH CITY follows two stories, one being of a young girl as she attempts to navigate a city of witches during Samhain when evil spirits are set free, and the other is the story of her Salem Witch ancestor Tituba as she navigates the events of the trials, and their connection to the city that binds them both. October 2022, 330 years after the end of the Salem Witch Trials. Alicia, a young aspiring writer, discovers her ancestor is Tituba, the first woman accused during the trials. After an attempt to cast a spell goes wrong, Alicia tries to go to Salem for answers. Instead, a mysterious stranger takes her to a different Witch City: Crone's Cross. There it is Samhain, the time of year when malevolent spirits are set free, and a conflict is brewing between two covens. Alicia takes the name of Aradia, the mythic daughter of the Moon Goddess. In Crone's Cross she is accused of being a Witch Hunter, and is forced to be on the run. With the help of three teenaged Bad Witches, the Bride of Frankenstein, and even the legendary witch Baba Yaga, Aradia must find a way to survive the city, and find herself in the process.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"That's what they do to people like us," her mother had whispered. "That's what fear makes them become." Eleanor was seven the first time she watched a woman hang for witchcraft. She was eleven the night her own magic answered her father's hands. A priest in crimson robes stepped from the crowd and claimed her before the mob could light the kindling. He called it salvation. He burned her village to the ground to make sure no one could call it anything else. Now she is Wren, silent, watched, and quietly extraordinary, the secret instrument of a Royal Confessor whose ambitions reach far beyond the crown he serves. Only one person in the palace sees her clearly: Prince Kaelen, the second-born son with nothing of his own but a gift for noticing what no one else does. What begins between them as stolen friendship deepens, dangerously, into something that could destroy them both. Father Thaddeus has spent seven years sharpening Wren for a single moment. And when that moment comes, the only weapon that can stop him is the one he forged himself. A lush, slow-burning tale of witches and princes, faith twisted into power, and the long, patient work of becoming unbreakable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Seeking Sensation - About:</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the near future, social media has reached its logical conclusion: humanity is literally living their lives for the approval of other people. The platform Looksy allows users to experience other people's memories and physical sensations as if they were their own via recordings known as Povies. The popularity of these Povies makes way for a lucrative industry, as many of the people that record Povies become celebrities overnight. 21-year-old Trinette Mackenzie is not one of those people. She is just one Povie addict among many, losing herself day and night in the memories of those with more glamorous and exciting lives than her, all to cope with the disappearance of her missing older sister, who tried and failed to become a Povie star herself. But one fateful day, she meets Sebastian "Bash" Mercado, the creative director at Looksy, who sees potential in Trinette and promises her greater ease in finding her sister using the money and connections that come with being a Povie star. And thus begins a partnership between Trinette and Bash, with Trinette as an up-and-comer in the Povie industry and Bash as her mentor and guide through the world of Looksy. Unfortunately for Trinette, however, each day proves more difficult than the last, as the Povie industry is far sleazier than it looks, Bash's actions and intentions grow increasingly unpredictable, and the whereabouts of Trinette's sister are far more complicated than anyone could've guessed...</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Playlist for the Apocalypse - About:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Playlist for the Apocalypse is set in Vancouver, Canada, two years after a global pandemic and blackout where societal collapse was caused by a mysterious virus that transformed its hosts into zombie-like creatures, called the Soulless, who become violent upon witnessing emotion. Evelyn Li, like many other survivors, has been living underground since the Soulless took control of the streets, cut off from both the outside world and her tight-knit family. Despite her aversion to risk, Evie is inspired by a mysterious voice she discovers on the radio to venture out of her underground bunker fuelled by the hope of reuniting with her family and the desire to meet the boy behind the voice. The voice belongs to Jonathan Johnson, a cynic hardened by the harsh realities of the apocalypse who finds solace in his vast record collection and secret broadcasts as he navigates the bleakness of his existence and struggles to find purpose in it. With each chapter titled after a song and told in dual perspectives, the novel explores Jonathan and Evelyn’s connection as they learn to trust and rely on each other as they embark on a journey across the city.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Uh-Oh! Trouble at School is a hilarious story about Grumpy, a parrot trying his best to fit in at school with a class full of kids. On his first day, Grumpy behaves perfectly. But as the days go by, his natural parrot behaviours begin to emerge. First, he chews on his desk. Then he eats with his foot. Soon, he is flying around the classroom—and finally, he lets out ear-shattering shrieks! With each new behaviour, Grumpy creates more chaos as his classmates begin copying him. Soon, kids are chewing their desks, eating with their feet, jumping off desks, and attempting to fly. Rather than becoming angry with Grumpy, the teacher seeks help from the class to think of creative ways to help him use his unique strengths. Before long, Grumpy is sharpening pencils with his beak, flying around the classroom to keep the children cool, and delivering messages to the office. He even becomes the school bell! Unfortunately, Grumpy can't tell time, so he gives the children an extra-long lunch. Uh-Oh! Trouble at School is a humorous celebration of personal strengths, inclusion, and  problem-solving. It shows children that the things that make us different can also be our greatest strengths.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Hazel's Shadow - About:</image:title>
      <image:caption>WOULD YOU LOCK YOURSELF IN A HAUNTED HOUSE TO ESCAPE THE CLAWING HANDS OF THE UNDEAD? 17 year-old Hazel Conners has to face both. Before the Lockdown, her life was simple: look out for her younger sister, make the wrestling team, hide her crush, keep her ability to see ghosts a secret, oh and forget that her childhood was haunted by an evil shadow figure. But now the undead have forced her and her classmates into the very house where the shadow lurks, Hazel may be the only one who can save them all — if she can survive long enough to discover the shadow’s more sinister purpose. the pressure is on, but Hazel can only juggle so many secrets in a haunted house surrounded by the dead.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books - Craigslist Baby Daddy - About:</image:title>
      <image:caption>After a breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Hazel Montgomery's journey to motherhood begins in a unique way - posting an ad on Craigslist to find a baby daddy. This snags the attention of down on his luck and low on cash Ryder Quinn, who needs money for rent after losing his job. His best friend Kai jokingly shows him Hazel’s ad, and though he initially rejects the idea he decides money is money. He shows up to his interview late, and it gets off to a rocky start. But there’s undeniable chemistry between Ryder and Hazel. Though he’s heavily tattooed and messy in the devil may care kind of way, he charms Hazel and she decides that even though he wasn’t exactly who she pictured, that he’s the right fit. After a chance encounter at a pharmacy a month later, Ryder sees Hazel buying a pregnancy test and asks if she’d like support while she waits for the results. She agrees and they go to her apartment and see the test results come back as positive, a shift happens in their dynamic. Ryder and Hazel begin to form a friendship, and after initially asking Hazel if it could be a no contact situation he tells her he's changed his mind and would like to be involved. Slowly over the months of her pregnancy their friendship deepens as they experience some of the more ridiculous aspects of her pregnancy journey, and their friendship deepens into love. At their baby shower Hazel's ex-boyfriend Aaron comes back into the picture, asking her for a second chance. Fearing that he's keeping Hazel and their baby from the future she truly always imagined Ryder breaks up with her, so that she can be with Aaron again, which devastates Hazel's as she is very much in love with Ryder. Just before she's due to give birth Hazel breaks up with Aaron again as they amicably decide that they truly aren't a good fit and Aaron doesn't want to be a Dad. Ryder's best friend Kai, and Hazel's sister Ivy and Hazel's best friend Bree conspire to "parent trap" Ryder and Hazel so they can talk out their miscommunication. Ryder apologizes and confesses his love, telling Hazel he thought he was doing the right thing and giving her and their baby the future she always envisioned. Hazel confesses her love for him as well, telling him he is the partner and future she wants.</image:caption>
