Title: THE UPWORLD
Author: LINDSEY S. FRANTZ
It has been many generations since the Vitium War.
In the ruins of what was once Appalachia, the population has split into three groups—upworlders who live in sparse, walled off cities, albino cave dwellers, and a group of savage nomads called the wylden. Then there’s Erilyn—a telekinetic 17-year-old girl who can see auras and hear thoughts. For three years she lived a quiet, calm life in the woods with Luna, her albino serval cat, until the day Finn—an upworld boy from Sunnybrook—tumbles, injured, into her clearing chased by wylden hunters.
Erilyn’s once calm life is turned upside down as she guardedly travels with Finn back to Sunnybrook. There, she must confront both the secrets of her past—the cave dwellers she ran from as a child and the bittersweet memories she daily tries to forget—and Morrigan, the girl who broke Finn’s heart and who’s harboring her own dangerous secret.
Lindsey S. Frantz was born and raised in Appalachia and earned her MFA from Bluegrass Writers Studio at Eastern Kentucky University. Her stories and poems have previously appeared in Main Street Rag’s Villains Anthology, Ruminate Magazine, Emerge Literary Journal, and Young Ravens Literary Review, among others. Her first novel, The Upworld, was released from Line by Lion Publications in August of 2017. Most recently, she’s participated in a number of anthologies with fellow authors Michelle Wilson and K.D. Reid: Ever After Again: Retold Fairy Tales, and Dragon Keeper’s Academy.
She currently lives in Somerset, Kentucky with her husband, Vince, and their two young children, James and Sadie. She and her husband both teach high school and have two kitties. She loves dragons, rainbows, trees, and a good ink pen.
Title: Enchanted Kingdom
Author: Tricia Wentworth
Not only is a chance for a crown at stake, but also a small drop of the royal bloodline’s magic. Jorah isn’t interested in either. Both princes are Enchanted, the very type of people responsible for her father’s murder.
From the lowest level of the kingdom and without magic, she is forced to go above the walls of Wylan and into the castle itself. She only has one goal: to avoid the crown princes and not, under any circumstances, form an attachment with either one of them.
Surrounded by Enchanted at every turn, she soon learns not all are as evil as she assumed. And when the king’s magic doesn’t affect her, everything Jorah thought she knew is called into question.
Tricia Wentworth is the award-winning author of The Culling series.
Though she began writing at a young age, she didn’t realize her love of writing would take over until after she graduated college with her teaching degree.
She currently resides in Nebraska with her husband, three sons, and English bulldog.
She hoards notebooks, pretty pens, books, and tea.
When not reading, writing, or momming, she can be found squeezing in a run or feeding her sugar addiction by baking something ridiculously delicious.

“Ethereal Bodies, The Powers That Be Book 3, by Ali Lucia Sky wraps up this series with a badass bow. Like, picture a bow so out of this world that it both tickles your fancy and makes you feel all sorts of things. That rollercoaster of emotions is how I feel this final book was.” ~Booknook Reviews
“I wish–” Tristan starts. I throw up my hand with my finger raised to shush him.
“STOP! Enough with the pointless wishes. You are being a shit friend and taking advantage of me and I’m tired of it.” I huff. “Michaela is right, pull your big boy pants up. Think it through and get it done in one fucking wish or don’t, but you get one more wish. Nothing more. Otherwise, you will keep asking for stuff you are going to regret.”
“How do I get rid of the wishes I don’t want?” Tristan asks.
“You don’t. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just take back the things you say. They can’t be unsaid.” I sigh, examining my salad. It’s swimming in ranch dressing and inedible.
I don’t even like ranch dressing.
Tristan looks up at the ceiling, doing some mental gymnastics. “There are about seventy-two wishes I need to rescind.”
I nod. “Yes. Although, I count ninety-eight.” I reconsider my sandwich before picking it up and taking a bite of the ham and cheese.
A group of girls Thea’s age are being seated nearby and their eyes are glued to us. This is one of the things that makes me uncomfortable. I’ve recently turned nineteen. Thea’s a few months shy of turning seventeen. It gives Gabe a lot of ammunition to give me shit, and when girls her age give me attention, I feel like a total creeper. I feel like I’m doing something wrong.
At the moment, these girls are looking at Tristan and I like we are on the menu.
“I only made ninety-nine,” Tristan pouts. “Why are you picking on me?”
“I’m not. All but the last one were garbage. But it’s not like you can take out the trash, so it’s just too bad that they are all out there waiting to come true now.” I say, looking away from the other table and focusing on Tristan.
“They were?” He looks at me quizzically. “You really think they were rubbish?”
I suck on my bottom lip and nod. “Yeah. The only one that is meaningful and has any shot of working at all in your favor, is the last one. All the others are complete crap. You opened up the game to so many other guys with about fifty of your wishes, and thirty of them are really all about your ego. I mean, she does talk to you–”

Yes, I lead a séance I had no business leading in the first place. No, I’m not a channeler of spirit, but let me explain. I was only trying to help a mother find her missing daughter, and then a cocky half-incubus had the nerve to possess me! You’d think a clairvoyant kitchen witch would have seen this coming.
No need to panic. I can figure out a way to exorcise Damion Blackmon, assuming I can withstand his seduction in the meantime. Oh, and he’s agreed to help me find out who killed my best friend. Deals with devils. I’m not sure if it’s my soul or my heart that’s at risk.
But don’t worry, my grandma was a voyeur in a past life and she’ll catch you up to speed. In extremely graphic detail. A word of warning—do not let my aunt talk you into a juice cleanse. Nothing magic about that, I promise.

**Author’s Note: Possession is book 1 of the Memphis Magic series. If you like witches and demons; forced proximity with a twist; quirky characters; laugh out loud moments; mystery; smoking hot slow burn; steam; grumpy cat; and even grumpier police detective, then this series is for you. And you don’t even have to sell your soul to read it.
I’ve been a writer my whole life, I just didn’t know it. As a kid I would watch soaps with my mom and then lie awake at night and come up with dialogue in my head for the characters. I’d get the look in church when I was writing down what I’m sure was extremely angst filled poetry and song lyrics in the blank corners of the Sunday bulletin. So I did what any good writer would do, and that’s ignore my calling and get an accounting degree, followed by a law degree. I would like to state for the record that I am a reformed lawyer, emphasis on reformed.
I write sweet and spicy romance with a side of magic. Fantasy, witchcraft, demonology and angelology, mysticism and the occult, if it goes bump in the night, add a little romance and a HEA and I’m your girl!

I decide to go back to what we’d originally been discussing. “The other Makers have Made Worlds. I’ve Made one World in all of the time I’ve been in creation, and I’ve Made countless souls.”
I look into her eyes so she could see me. “I’ve always felt the smaller works are more precious.”
There is a heavy silence before she speaks again. “Only one World? What World is that?”
“World Seventeen. I had to Make it. Our teachers, the Czen, were testing us and we were given tasks. Worlds One through Ten were Made in secret. We weren’t to be Making them when we did. Asa and Astrid were precocious. Cosima and Riyu Made bands and tribes of denizens for them. I watched and tried to Make their lives better. I guess you could say, I was afraid I would Make mistakes if I tried to work on a larger scale.”
I swallow at the heartache I remember feeling for the souls. “Some of those who lived in the early Worlds suffered severely. With Astrid, we imbued some with an extra spark, souls. We perfected it, and soon, some started reincarnating on other Worlds. Well, the Worlds where souls could populate. No soul will ever be reincarnated into a non-human being, despite what some believe. So those who believe that their loved ones return as their dogs, are wrong. But souls with that spark, can be born again and again.”
“And those without?” Lexa can barely whisper the question, fearing the answer.
“They die out. In many Worlds, Cosima and Riyu create them for sacrifice or entertainment. They suffer for no reason and die with no hope of reward. It’s terrible. I couldn’t stand it.”
“So, World Seventeen?” she prompts.
“It’s where all those who die without souls go. This World we are in right now, is forever expanding to endure an increasing population. Some of that is because of us Makers. There are so many soulless here. When they die, they go to another World that is also forever expanding to endure an increasing population.” I move away from Lexa to sit down on the crushed velvet settee.
“Why?” she asks, drawn to me. She moves until she is in front of me, then crawls into my lap to straddle me.
“Because they need somewhere to go.” I trace her cheek with my fingertip.

The Quarter holds secrets. Some, more deadly than others.
When I cast the spell to bless the alpha’s mating ceremony, I didn’t mean to bind him to me.
Now he hunts me.
I know he wants the spell reversed, but I’m not sure I can do it.
Something terrible went wrong with my magic.
I can feel the evil coursing through me.
There’s someone with an agenda, one meant to break the pack.
Finding who was responsible and reversing the spell proves difficult.
Someone wants the Quarter for himself.
When he found me, I feared the worst. He meant to kill me. Instead, he claimed what was his. If I can’t fix what I did, he may go mad.
That’s not a fate I would wish on anyone. I will fix the bond that binds us and find whoever is responsible for this mess, even if it’s the last thing I ever do.
