About the book
When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them.
In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.
The Elephant Whisperer is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, it is a delightful book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

About the book
Triple Gold Winner — 2026 Spring BookFest Awards
First Place: Science Fiction Space Opera, YA Science Fiction, LGBTQ+ Science Fiction
New Edition — Book One in the Award-Winning YA Sci-Fi Series
Lily Starling is alone in a city she barely recognizes, with no memory of her past—only a metal tag bearing her name and an instinct for survival. When a Union starship crew claims she belongs with them, she's pulled centuries beyond her own time and into a desperate mission against the psionic Krythar.
Aboard the starship Salamander, Lily is drawn into a found family of misfit officers, warriors, and exiles. Together, they uncover mysteries hidden among the stars: an ancient memory seed carrying the voices of the dead—and a weapon capable of unraveling time itself.
But when Lily faces her greatest fear, she must choose—confront the truth of her past, or risk losing everything she's come to care about.
A lyrical, fast-paced space opera about identity, connection, and courage at the edge of the unknown.
Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, with the cinematic scope of Mass Effect and the found-family heart of Firefly and Red Rising.

About the book
A genetically enhanced fighting force may be humanity's only hope in this novel by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn.
Decades after a successful invasion of Earth and the Terran Democratic Empire by the Ryqril—hostile, leathery-skinned aliens—resistance fighter Allen Caine is training for an undercover mission. He will assume the identity of an aide to the senate—part of the government that colludes with the invaders. But when the mission begins earlier than planned, Caine finds himself stuck on the off-planet outpost of Plinry with no idea of what awaits. He's responsible for the most important mission undertaken by the resistance in twenty years, and when the operation goes awry, Caine's only hope is to locate Plinry's so-called blackcollars—the elusive, martial arts–trained guerilla force whose wartime resistance efforts are legendary. With his life and the freedom of everyone in the TDE on the line, Caine's success will depend on whether or not he can find them. . . .

About the book
Shiloh
All I want is to live my life quietly as a Beta, away from the judgement of society. But at Oakley University, being a wallflower is virtually impossible when your perfect Omega twin is the shining star of your cohort. She has it all, looks, brains and Zale Blackwood.
Blackwood is a typical Alpha jock in every way– from being a rising football star to the broad muscular body that looked like he could squash a watermelon between his thighs. I could use his red flags to sew a king size quilt.
And for some reason, the Alpha assh*le is suddenly everywhere I turn, pushing my buttons and testing my boundaries until I snap.
One night.
One mistake.
One taste of him has me craving the life I swore I didn’t want.
But there’s one thing I can’t let myself forget…he’s not mine.
Zale
Millie Vos is incredible. She’s brave, bold, beautiful…a perfect Omega.
Unlike Shiloh.
Her Beta twin is brash, stubborn and keeps everyone at an arm’s length, gnashing his teeth angrily at anyone who comes to close.
When birthday plans gone wrong have us trapped in a cabin alone during a storm, I learn there’s more to the prickly hedgehog than he lets on.
The scent of autumn leaves and toffee apples clings to me after a drunken mistake and I’m slapped in the face with a scandalous truth…
He smells like mine.

America’s Boy

Our take
“A revelatory story about acceptance, pride, and the many ways even a seemingly prejudiced family can surprise us” by The Washington Post, In "America's Boy," Wade Rouse shares his journey of self-discovery, from growing up gay in the Missouri Ozarks to coming to terms with his sexuality after his brother's death, with a 4.4-star rating from 90 Amazon reviewers.

About the book
"A revelatory story about acceptance, pride, and the many ways even a seemingly prejudiced family can surprise us" by the bestselling author of Magic Season (The Washington Post).
Indie Next List "Great Read" Selection
American Library Association's Inaugural "Rainbow List" Selection
In this memoir, writer and journalist Wade Rouse delivers a humorous and heartwarming account of his Midwestern childhood and coming of age as a gay man.
Born in Granby, a small farm town in the southwest Missouri Ozarks, Wade was a fish out of water as long as he could remember—or at least since he participated in his family's mock Miss America pageant when he was just five years old, clad in his grandmother's red "whore" heels and his mother's black-and-white polka-dot bikini.
Life didn't get easier in Wade's conservative hometown, especially after his older brother died just a month after Wade graduated junior high school. It was then that Wade buried his brother—and his sexuality, so his parents wouldn't mourn the loss of a second son. Finally, after years of a descent into obsessive-compulsive behaviors and overeating, Wade was able to come out to himself, losing weight and gaining confidence until he had nothing left to hide.
Filled with memories of happiness and heartbreak, America's Boy is both "a quirky tribute to [Rouse's] rural Ozark family, and an easily digestible, homespun tale of a bygone era in Middle America" (Time Out Chicago).
"A storyteller and a memoirist in the best sense of the words. . . . Reading Rouse's memoir is more like sitting with a good friend and a cold beer, trading stories and remembering those things that may have been painful or tragic at the time, but must now be respected for what they are." —Metro Weekly

About the book
From the author of the Birthmarked trilogy comes this harrowing YA series debut, a dystopian thriller about what happens when your dreams are not your own.
The Forge School is the most prestigious arts school in the country. The secret to its success: every moment of the students' lives is televised as part of the insanely popular Forge Show, and the students' schedule includes twelve hours of induced sleep meant to enhance creativity. But when first year student Rosie Sinclair skips her sleeping pill, she discovers there is something off about Forge. In fact, she suspects that there are sinister things going on deep below the reaches of the cameras in the school. What's worse is, she starts to notice that the ridges of her consciousness do not feel quite right. And soon, she unearths the ghastly secret that the Forge School is hiding—and what it truly means to dream there.
"Strange things are afoot at an elite school for artistic geniuses that is also the setting for a reality television show . . . A fast, satisfying psychological thriller." —Kirkus Reviews
"O'Brien mixes the appeal of a classic boarding school novel with modern concerns about surveillance and reality as performance art, while questioning how human perception creates that reality in the first place." —Publishers Weekly
"Like O'Brien's Birthmarked trilogy, this dystopian, sci-fi, psychological-thriller hybrid raises ethical and moral questions about science. This might have been a difficult story to pull off, given the environment, but with a likable narrator who is thoroughly unimpressed with herself, it works . . . this should have wide appeal." —Booklist

About the book
Berlin, 1939. Tears pouring down her cheeks, Rosa pushes through the crowds and thrusts the basket containing her darling newborn twins at the woman closing the door to the carriage. All she can say is please take them. Then she runs, praying the train will reach England safely…
As the smell of smoke drifts through the air, Jewish people lock their doors. They no longer feel welcome in their home city, and while some mothers hide their children, others take them, clad in dark threadbare coats, to the crowded train station and the hope of a new life.

And when a woman thrusts a basket containing newborn twins into her arms, a shiver of dread slides down her spine. Babies aren’t authorised to travel – how can she keep them hidden from the cold-eyed soldiers?

An unforgettable World War Two novel about two courageous women who risked everything for the innocent victims of war. Fans of The Nightingale and The Alice Network will be utterly gripped by this unputdownable page-turner from bestselling author Suzanne Goldring.

About the book
The million copy bestselling queen of romantic comedy is back with this laugh-out-loud and heart-warmingly relatable tale of a woman who has had enough
Being married to a comedian is no joke.
Kate is sick of it. Sick of being a wife, cook, dog walker and flat-pack assembler, while still being treated like a doormat. Her husband all but ignores her – unless he needs a clean shirt – and she’s constantly compelled to keep up with the (very smug) Joneses in their neighbourhood.
What happened to the fun-loving woman she used to be? At almost 50, Kate feels lost, overlooked and stuck. That is, until she comes home to one of her husband's impromptu parties – and is expected to feed their hungry guests.
And that’s it. Breaking point. The final straw.
Scrambling out of the bathroom window, Kate leaves. She has no money, no clean pants, and no plan – but a chance encounter sees her following her heart for once. And now there’s no going back…

About the book
A dark past. A fresh start. A new nightmare waiting to begin.
Willow McAllister is desperate to start over. Quiet town. Blank slate. No attachments. When she meets her friendly new neighbour, Priya, it feels like a lifeline: the start of something good.
And then there’s Gabe: charming, funny, easy to talk to. Maybe she’s allowed a little happiness. Maybe she can trust again.
But Willow’s instincts have been wrong before. And when she discovers that Gabe and Priya share a past, the cracks start to show. Willow can’t help wondering if Priya’s arrival next door really was by chance. Because coincidences like this? They don’t feel like coincidences at all.
Is she imagining the tension between them? Or ignoring something she shouldn’t?
Someone is lying.
And Willow can’t afford to get it wrong again.
