New Release: The Inevitable Singularity (Paladins of the Republic Book 1) by Molly J. Bragg

Sean, a mercenary, is the bodyguard of Grand Master Caila of the Order of the Paladins of the Republic. A fact that the entire Order, except for Caila herself, resents deeply since they kicked Sean out almost twenty years earlier. It doesn’t help matters that Caila has taken a vow of Celibacy, but everyone knows that she and Sean have feelings for each other. Sean’s presence is only tolerated because Caila is the official Seer of the Paladin Order. While all Paladins can see the future to a limited extent, Caila’s gift with foresight exceeds even the head of the order. But when a mine destroys Caila’s ship just as they arrive in the Ptolemy system to settle a dispute over a hyperspace route, it quickly becomes clear that someone doesn’t want their mission to succeed. With only Reagan, a Paladin with a personal grudge against Sean for support, Sean and Caila make their way to Ptolemy, recruiting allies along the way. But each time they look into the future, Caila sees a vision showing her that Ptolemy will be reduced to a lifeless cinder if they leave, and Sean receives a warning that Caila will die if they stay. Can they avoid disaster, or will Caila be forced to sacrifice herself to save an entire world?

Alexa barely escapes with the help of her sister and an unexpected ally—the queen’s only son.How will this under-experienced trio elude the centuries-old system of oppression on Atlantis now that they’re actively being hunted?

New Audio Book Cover for Transistor by Molly J. Bragg

We just received the Audio Book Cover for Transistor: Hearts of Heroes 2 by Molly J. Bragg. The Transistor Audio Book with be released by Tantor Media on September 12th, 2023. Jennifer Pickens will return as narrator for this second outing in Molly's Sapphic Superhero series. For those who haven't read Transistor, here's a brief summary:

When Naomi Woodward’s doctor recommended her for a clinical trial, it seemed like the answer to her prayers. She was finally able to get her gender confirmation surgery and the surgery was a resounding success. She finally looked and felt like the woman she always knew she was.

Her new face and new body finally helped her work up the nerve to ask out Anika, the beautiful nurse who lived across the hall. To her delight, Anika said yes, but when they are attacked during their date, Naomi quickly discovers that the experimental procedure she went through had some unexpected side effects and that when Anika told her things with her family were complicated, she really should have listened.

Now, armed with superpowers she barely understands, a snarky artificial intelligence in her head, and allies that include a Superhero, a Dragon, and the literal Devil, she has to keep Anika safe from the archangel who’s out to kill her while they work desperately to prevent a second civil war in heaven.
