Free Science Fiction Available Now!

free science fiction availableMortals die; Legends live forever. A Coalition is forming to fight back against the alien oppressors who conquered their world. As they carry out a vital mission, a mysterious, quasi-religious group comes to their aid.

Here is an excerpt from this free science fiction available now:

“I’m not ready to die,” Zaeleth confided his deepest thoughts and fears to his older friend, as he often had.  The two began taking in a view of the city of Southview through the large window within the abandoned factory.  The smaller city once thrived on industry, its terrain lent itself to that use.  Its often raised shoreline overlooked the vast freshwater lake to its north, with a large river that split into two diverging tributaries before reaching the lake flowing through the heart of the city.

Michael Pronko’s eBook is free today!

Michael PronkoMotions and Moments is the third book by Michael Pronko on the fluid feel and vibrant confusions of Tokyo life. These 42 new essays burrow into the unique intensities that suffuse the city and ponder what they mean to its millions of inhabitants.

Based on Pronko’s 18 years living, teaching and writing in Tokyo, these essays on how Tokyoites work, dress, commute, eat and sleep are steeped in insights into the city’s odd structures, intricate pleasures and engaging undertow.

Included are essays on living to size and loving the crowd, on Tokyo’s dizzying uncertainties and daily satisfactions, and on the 2011 earthquake. As in his first two books, this collection captures the ceaseless flow and passing flashes of life in biggest city in the world with gentle humor and rich detail.

About the author, Michael Pronko:

Michael PronkoMichael Pronko lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. In the afternoons, he teaches American literature, film, music, and art at Meiji Gakuin University. Mornings, he writes. Fielding questions from students about Jackson Pollock or Kurt Vonnegut and then wandering through Shinjuku’s neon mayhem cooks up most of the ideas for his non-fiction and fiction, and wandering the world’s biggest city evenings and weekends does the rest. After nearly 20 years in Tokyo, what’s obvious becomes curious, and vice versa.

His writing has appeared in The Japan Times, Newsweek Japan, the once-great city guide Tokyo Q, a weekly ST Shukan, Jazznin (Japan’s first bilingual jazz mag), Winds magazine, Jazz Colo[u]rs (in Italian!), and Artscape Japan. His website Jazz in Japan (www.jazzinjapan.com) is the first in English about Tokyo’s great jazz scene. He also continues to publish academic articles and runs a conference on teaching literature. He has also appeared on programs for NHK (Japan’s PBS) and Nihon TV’s “The Most Useful School in the World.”

A suspense novel, The Last Train will be coming out later in 2016.

Today’s Featured eBook is by G. Houston.

Today's featured eBook by G. HoustonWings Passage of Time takes young readers on an adventure through two generations of faeries. They will face romance, birth, a magical Queen, death and a terrifying Witch. Their journey brings about the unification of two races where good overcomes evil.

We meet three types of faeries in the story: Unseens (able to disappear), Lights (able to emit bright light), and Trolls (bad-tempered faeries with no special abilities). Although Lights and Trolls reside in the nearby forest, Unseens live hidden inside a large house with humans.
In Part One, brother and sister Unseens, Glemce and Faze, venture into the forest and meet forest Lights, and then live among them to bridge the gap between the two types of faeries. Dirty, bug-eating Trolls, however, present a constant threat to the other tiny winged forest creatures. (Depictions of Trolls range from humorous to horrific, making them perpetual scene stealers.)

Part Two takes place many years later and introduces the next generation of faeries. Sage, the new faerie queen, unites all magical forest creatures – making friends of Unseens, Lights, and Trolls.

Part Three – an abrupt change in focus rather than time – emphasizes human interactions with faeries and with each other. Able to shape-shift into human and animal forms, Sage befriends Thomas, the man who owns the house in which Glemce, Faze, and other Unseens were raised, along with the land Lights and Trolls call home.

Together, humans and faeries fight an evil witch with murderous intentions.
