Pages : 153
Book Description
Seeking Sirius, #1 of the Crystal Ceres Time Travel books 2001 Space Odyssey meets the metaphysics of Interstellar 240 pages Alexa Jane Alden is about to claim her happily-ever-after. But before she can complete plans for her wedding on a Bahamas beach, she is hijacked—to a thousand years forward in time and a planet far, far away. There is a way back from the future, but only if Alexa can locate a specific mystical Master of Masters. The challenge is finding a master of the universe who keeps his location unknown, and has a habit of vanishing into thin air at will—maybe for forever. While searching for her way home, Alexa realizes the package entrusted to her care is attracting dangerous attention. The very key for accomplishing her heart’s desire is also one that an ancient murderous computer—with minions desperate to do its bidding—is willing to maim and kill to possess. A suspenseful SciFi adventure, woven with metaphysical secrets, Seeking Sirius is all about self-trust, in the midst of chaos. Interview with the Author: Q - Why seeking Sirius? A – After consulting with the world-class astronomy department at the University of Texas in Austin (where I studied astronomy as an undergraduate student) I chose the star Sirius because it is 8.6 light years away from Earth and is in the right direction for Alexa to show up on Adalans. Only later did I discover that many cultures through time have considered that star special in metaphysical terms. Q - How did a certain robot in this story become so advanced? A - The robot’s creator in the early twenty-first century included instructions for it to continue improving his/its programming and its physical appearance. Q – In what order should I read the books? A – The series does follow a logical thread because the protagonist is on a quest, but each story turns on its own plot. Here’s the sequence: Seeking Sirius Jaguar Transit A third novel is in progress, to complete the story Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? A – Seeking Sirius and Jaguar Transit (book #2) are a mix of Science Fiction, Time Travel and Metaphysical genres, with a little romance thrown in. There’s also suspense, as well as action and adventure, to keep you on the edge.

Book Description
A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age: How do you define family? Jenny Fitzgerald is an artist who never fit in with her sports-obsessed parents and siblings. Still, she loves her family—even if she doesn’t relate to them. Even if, unlike her younger siblings, Jenny’s father is Donor 142. She’s always known the truth, but before now, it hasn’t seemed to matter much. But this summer—her sixteenth—is different. Where does Jenny really belong? Her parents don’t understand her artwork (and her boss at the studio isn’t even convinced she has talent), her twin sisters are so close it hurts (and it’s good at hurting Jenny), and she’s not entirely sure why she has a crush on jock Tate Brodeur (not that he’s noticed her . . . yet). To find her true self, Jenny begins to search for the one person who might really understand her—someone biologically connected. With Tate’s help, Jenny consults the Donor Sibling Registry, and before she knows it, she has discovered a half sibling. Alexa is witty, impulsive, and desperate to meet. Jenny’s convinced her genetic other half is the key to having a family, but when Alexa shows up unannounced, Jenny’s world changes in ways she never could have predicted.

Pages : 210
Book Description
In this suspenseful mystery by Agatha Award-winning author Edith Maxwell, a startling murder exposes dark dealings in a quiet New England town . . . When a talented student asks her to endorse his controversial thesis on race and language, linguistics professor Lauren Rousseau cautiously agrees to take up the cause—so long as no one at their small New England college finds out about the romantic bonds they’ve formed. But just days later she discovers the student’s been murdered following an acrimonious meeting with the department chair, and Lauren’s concerns go from academic to criminal as she’s thrust into a search for the killer. A determined Quaker with an ear for accents, Lauren won’t be deterred by the escalating danger surrounding her, and she’s soon confronted with alarming small-town bigotry, academic blackmail, and a trail of clues that all lead to a community center for underserved youth. And when her investigation reveals a web of shadowy connections deeply entrenched in her small community, she uncovers a motive and a murderer far more menacing than she had ever imagined . . . This book was originally published under the name Tace Baker. Praise for Speaking of Murder: “Entertaining, innovative and suspenseful . . . just the ticket for those relishing a contemporary puzzler.” —Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of Hid from Our Eyes: A Clare Fergusson/Russ Van Alstyne Mystery “Clever, compelling and terrifically smart, [Maxwell’s] intelligent writing—and wryly wonderful sleuth—gives a hip, contemporary twist to this traditional mystery.” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha-, Anthony-, and Macavity-winning author of The Murder List “[Maxwell] combines convincing, diverse characters, a vividly described setting, and a plot that picks up speed until it reaches a surprisingly intense confrontation.” —Sheila Connolly, New York Times bestselling author of the Orchard Mysteries, the Museum Mysteries, and the County Cork Mysteries
