About the author:
At this point am a new writer. Have written small stuff in the past for various things. But now that I’ve done so many other things in my life, I thought it was time to start writing down all those stories that kept floating through my head.
What inspired you to write your book?
The Dvane Empire has thrived for millions of years with little war marring the peace. It spans a large portion of the galaxy. A hundred years ago the Empire found the Easlank. They were a race who consider all other life to be either slaves or food. Your ship was the only one to survive The Last Battle. The High Court is in exile. All other planets and races of your fallen Empire lie at the mercy of ravenous hoards. Your last hope is a planet that was sealed away from the rest of the universe and used to try and breed the ultimate warrior. A project started thousands of years ago. Only a few minor problems lie in your way. You must get there without the enemy following you. A process made difficult in the extreme as they can apparently track Emergence. Going there without the Emperor’s permission from means your mind will be wiped. If you’re lucky. Getting his permission at this point is not an option. There is also the slight problem that the project was terminated because the resultant race was too violent, too uncontrollable, with too much of a chance of killing their handlers instead of their targets. Best case scenario is finding a few survivors who might be able to slow the advance of the Easlank while your Empire recovers. The planet’s name in the records means “terrifying experiment”. The natives just call it Earth. May Goddess have mercy on your soul.

Sunshine: The Author’s Edition by Alyssa Cooper
When ozone levels plummeted, the world changed. There’s no going back.
This is a world where sunshine can kill. Where there are heavy steel shutters on every window, and underground tunnels for safe passage. Where citizens nourish themselves with synthetic vitamins and rationed food, living a life in darkness, never seeing the sun.
This is the only world that eighteen-year-old Manda has ever known. As this strong, passionate girl struggles to bloom in a hard and unforgiving world, she finds a single comfort; Jordy, a man who delicately shows her how beautiful life can be. But then the letter comes.
Everything is changing, all over again.
Manda will soon be evacuated from her home, transported across the country to a place where the days are shorter, where it still rains, where the sun is less deadly. There’s only one catch; Jordy may not be going with her.
She bides in agony, fighting to fit as much living into her last few weeks as she can, while she waits to learn if she will soon lose the only man she’s ever loved.
