Jordan Blue works to survive on the oppressive, corporate colony world, Shoar. A random, near-fatal encounter puts her in the company of Kuvett, a space faring creature of the stars. While Jordan tries to figure out the inscrutable Cosmari, Kuvett sneaks about the dilapidated Outskirts to find out just what happened to the planet, what secrets the impenetrable Meritopolis hides, and why it is there.

Kuvett let go and hovered back to let Jordan continue.

“Yet, the reason why I have such a hard time accepting it is because—” the tears returned as she looked out to the doorway—“there was a time when I didn’t live here alone.”

“I assumed as much. Their presence still lingers here and on you.”

Jordan nodded. “We were together for about six years until one day, she just up and vanished. I don’t know where she went to, I don’t know if she is even still alive, but the fact she never told me where she even left hurts. It hurts a lot.”

“And you fear it may happen once more.” Kuvett leaned against the wall.

“Yes,” Jordan looked to the floor while she sobbed, ashamed. “That, and I don’t know how much time I have left before my lungs give out. Why would anyone want someone whose body’s falling apart? I don’t know for certain, but that’s what it felt like when Violet left.”

Kuvett was silent a moment before she reached up and wiped away the moisture on Jordan’s face. When she opened her eyes, Kuvett pressed her forehead against Jordan’s. “There is much I wish to tell you and how I disagree with how you see yourself. But for now, we are not safe here. If there is anything I can do to assist you, tell me and I will.”

Jordan sniffed again, nodding as she disengaged from Kuvett’s touch. There was still much to do.

Blog Tour: STORMS OF CRICK ROAD BRIDGE by David G. Kerr

 

Crime Thriller

Date Published: April 8, 2026

Publisher: MindStir Media

Eden Valley is a quiet town in northwestern Pennsylvania still healing from a dark chapter in its history. Two years ago, the community was shaken by a kidnapping and a series of murders. Tom Stallings, the celebrated town hero, solved the crimes and identified the evil demon responsible. In an effort to revitalize the town, Tom's son, Josh, has purchased the town's orchard, naming it The Stallings Orchard at Crick Road Bridge.

However, Tom is soon informed by the local sheriff that he and his family are the targets of a threatening letter, mysteriously signed "The Avenger." The unknown author accuses Tom and Josh of being land-grabbers with blood on their hands and vows to seek revenge.

Against this tense backdrop, three individuals-each driven by their own pain and misguided sense of justice-embark on separate journeys of revenge. While the first merely seeks to resolve personal grievances and jealousy through minor acts of vandalism, the other two harbor far more sinister intentions, representing both physical and metaphorical storms on a path of chaos and destruction.

Review: BEACH FLIRTS by Lisa Scott

 

What could be worse than a beach vacation with your overbearing family? Running into your ex and what would’ve been your in-laws. Would it take both of their families to get them back together?

 

Natalie was a former fat girl that suddenly turned into the hot chick. She had no idea how to flirt and was in no hunt for a man. The only man she might take a swing at was maybe her co-worker’s boyfriend. Boy, that girlfriend could be cruel.

 

A washed-up actor washes up on the beach…and is saved by a beautiful fan.

 

Sweet and sassy stories! Enjoyable reads! Very swoony! Can’t wait for more!

Review: JET SETTING ESCORT Box Set by Monique DuBois

 

Book 1: Dumped by a boyfriend for being lame in bed. Just not “hot enough.” Really? After 6 years? Even though she got some good jabs, Ariella was still dumbfounded. Now, she not only was alone, she was also broke and needed to make some money fast. On her first night as a single lady, she gets lucky with a gorgeous Olympic athlete, who finds her curves to be desirable. This begins her journey as a high-end escort. Healthy women can be sexy, too!

 

Book 2: Being fired from her bank teller job only clinched the deal to be a paid escort. She wants to remain exclusive with her recruiter, who leaves broken hearts in his trail. Just how long can she have him before she goes exploring on her own? It might take a series of exhibition events to reveal the cold truth about this couple’s future together.

 

Book 3: Now we’re into the escorting business. Her first since the break-up is with a sexy and domineering billionaire.

 

Book 4: Brant was back and hotter than ever. Unfortunately, he hadn’t changed at all. Back on the escort website, she meets a nice-looking virgin. Ariella was lucky to be his first. But what if “good” was just too good?

 

Book 5: Can Ariella fall in love with the shy artist, who has come on way too strong with his own love and devotion? Could Ariella’s next conquest include twins? Oh my!

 

Book 6: Fight! Three men fighting over Ariella. Yikes! It was certainly a return of the exes in this episode. Like Ariella wasn’t confused enough. The one that returns is the ex that dumped her in the beginning. Her first love. What would this old ex feel like now that she was more sexually rounded?

 

Book 7: As a favor to her boss, Ariella has to be the pretend girlfriend of a friend’s son. But what happens when they stop pretending? Was this finally the real thing?

 

Each book/story was such lust and excitement. A wild and sexual journey. And, as a paid escort, she’s being wined and dined at lavish faraway places and making loads of money. Sounds like a good life, right? The problem was that Ariella couldn’t really separate the emotional from the physical, so each sexual experience had its drawbacks. Will she end up falling in love? Perhaps she’ll fall in love with them all? But will any of them love her back? Not just a sexy series, but a captivating series! More, more, more!
