Sophie misses nothing and is learning dangerous truths that could get them both killed.

“New” is generally plus or minus a week or two. I try to catch up on ones I missed in recent months. And I may mention ‘special items’.
NOTE: I’m doing my best to avoid listing anything generated from use of AI but it’s sometimes tricky to detect from the resources I have available. As far as covers go, I list the Amazon cover. I won’t feature a cover in my weekly promo for this post if I believe or suspect it was done with AI and I use the AI or Not tool to decide.
I do NOT cover every single new release in SFR/FantasyR/PNR. I never have. That would be an impossible task for any human! I assemble my list by hand every week based on various informal inputs, and I do curate the list to some extent…
Some authors aren’t in KU but still don’t list books with Apple or other platforms. This report is very time consuming to prepare so I’ve always had to limit myself and cannot go and look up every book on all the platforms. If an author gives me their other buy links, I include them here but generally I develop the post on my own, not from author-supplied information. I curate and prepare this post individually every week to help connect readers/books/authors and I have to be very careful not to give it so much time as an activity that I don’t write my own novels! Thanks for the feedback and happy reading!

This is the third in my alien empath series. When it was time to write this one, my daughters had been telling me I needed to write a tough, capable female mercenary, so I did, and made the empath in this one a man. I enjoyed the challenge of making Larissa Channer truly kickass and I have to confess I was inspired by Ripley in “Aliens” and Linda Hamilton’s character in the Terminator movies. If my female main character could stand with the two of them, I’d be satisfied.
