Goodbye Junie Moon : June Collins
Goodbye Junie Moon
This memoir has been described as ‘wild and riveting’. It is not the usual family history type memoir but a page turner of corruption, sex and adventure.
The story alternates between the innocent, growing up years of the author in Australia and the harrowing years during the Vietnam War. For three and a half years she remained in Vietnam at the height of the war. Initially, she entertained the troops herself, first as a magicians assistant then as a solo dancer. Eventually she hired Philippine entertainment groups and scheduled them into the camps.
There was plenty of romance and adventure until corruption and heartbreak over the deaths of so many young men finally stopped the music. Junie Moon followed her conscience, sacrificing everything she had worked for to become a whistleblower and set things straight. Her life was placed in danger from the corrupt military army clubs she had been dealing with. When all looked lost, fate stepped in with a surprise ending.

The History of Ours, Book I: The Guardians : Natalia Lynn
The History of Ours, Book I: The Guardians
Trust Evolution.
At the dawn of the 21st century, hive-mind awareness is achieved by “chipping in.” Downloading your mind into a singular collective consciousness called 4D, is a revelation that drives our society to the brink of destruction.
THE GUARDIANS is set in the aftermath when society has stabilized, controlled in eight domed colonies called “Centrs;” all that remain of western civilization.
Governments and religions have been replaced by the Guardians, a consciousness steering the course of human events to rebuild from the parallel reality of 4D. There is no violence, no hunger, and no war. “The Guardians Provide.”
Grace River26D, a young and stubbornly brilliant utility engineer resigned to Maintenance1, the lowest sector in Centr8, is unable to reproduce. She is looked upon as a burden by her community and struggles to prove her worth, though still revels in the comfort and security of Centr life.
After witnessing a brutal murder, Grace is forced to flee into the barren lands that border, embarking on an epic journey to seek truth and face an overwhelmingly complex enemy that controls all chipped consciousness. Grace can trust no one while battling between freedom of thought or a future of total control.
THE HISTORY OF OURS begins a compelling YA science fiction series that raises questions of morality, roles of technology, and the future of human evolution.
History is written by the Victorious.

A Baker’s Dozen : Eleanor Cawood Jones
A Baker’s Dozen – 13 Tales of Murder and More
Love mysteries? Love short stories? Put them both together and you’ve got a wonderful 5-star debut! A Baker’s Dozen: 13 Tales of Murder and More is a diverse compilation of short stories spanning 30 years, crafted by a former journalist and including two contributions by her mother, a court reporter and professional proofreader.
From murder in the mountains of Tennessee to the adventures of an all-woman air conditioning repair crew in Northern Virginia, a trip down the runway of a senior citizen beauty pageant, and the secrets revealed in the aftermath of a violent tornado, this page-turner is a blend of psychological suspense, surprise endings, satire, tearjerkers, and just plain, laugh-out-loud fun.
Stories include: “Dog’s Best Friend,” where a farmer’s wife has to make the ultimate decision between life and death; “Mrs. Gallagher,” featuring a determined 85-year-old who is most definitely not what she seems; “The Sampler,” the co-author’s award-winning short story about a happy retired couple with a really big secret; and “Burying Toby,” a touching yet humorous story of two teenagers who help their beloved younger sister stage a funeral for her recently deceased favorite pet.
Other don’t-miss tales include an affectionate and rollicking satire of Nancy Drew, the story of a young boy’s convenience store run that morphs into a fantastical adventure, a tongue-in-cheek piece on soap operas and game shows, and a first-person account by a very intelligent house cat who witnesses a brutal murder and lives to tell the tale.
Readers of authors as diverse as Alfred Hitchcock, Ellery Queen, and Maeve Binchy will enjoy these stories. Each one is unique and an unexpected twist or surprise ending is guaranteed in each tale.
