Brighde Reborn Wins NYC Big Book Award for 2024

We are excited to announce that our authors Leslie & Janice Sommers have won the NYC Big Book Award for 2024 in the Teen Catagory for Bridhde Reborn, Book 1 in the Amulet Series.

Bridget’s Senior Year Checklist includes:

  1. Hook the new guy, Trip
  2. Hang with newly discovered cousin, Cay aka the most popular boy at OCHS
  3. Find missing weather controlling Amulet
  4. Pass SATs
  5. Save the world

In her quiet Jersey Shore town, high school senior Bridget MacNamara just wants to get a date with the strikingly attractive new kid, Trip, but fate and her lineage have other ideas. Things get weird when the most popular guy in school, Cailean “”Cay”” McKay, won’t leave her alone. Turns out they’re distant cousins and what’s more—they’re the descendants of twin Scottish goddesses, Brighde and Beira.

The sisters originally shared an amulet that controlled the weather, and its sudden disappearance has sparked betrayal and vengeance, dividing the once-close family into two rival factions for the last few centuries. Bridget finds herself thrown into a modern version of Scottish mythology when she learns she’s directly descended from Brighde, and Trip can be traced straight to Beira.

After a century of family warfare, Trip and Bridget are now a star-crossed couple, forced to fight both their families and each other in a race to find the missing amulet.

Wasn’t senior year supposed to be a breeze?

Release Day: Arcfire of Antiquity

We are excited for the release of Arcfire of Antiquity by Eric N. Lard!

An alien armada. A demon god’s offer of lost technology. An unfulfilled suicide pact.

Her daughter was alive. Instead of fulfilling her woefully-overdue suicide pact and going out in a rocket blaze of revenge-filled glory, Capt. Cadian Galas must scour the jungle of a lost continent for a weapon only hinted at existing. With the impending final wave of a forty-year campaign of genocide by an alien race just days away, humanity’s clock is ticking. And that’s when the Deathhounds arrived…

Warming up her power armor, Cadian will have to overcome impossible odds with dwindling resources if she wants to save what little humanity has for her daughter’s sake. Being a mech pilot was never an ideal way of life, but she’s damn good at what she does. The question is, can she succeed where so many others have failed?

This book is perfect for readers looking for an action-packed space opera. Strap in for the ride of your life.
