The Heart Spaceship Kingdom by Marla Xaviera
Surprise! Climate Extinction has obliterated planet Earth and you're one of the lucky few invited to board The Heart Spaceship Kingdom, where you will go find new life in a different galaxy. Do you accept the Queen of Hearts as your lord and savior? She's a treat but don't be fooled - her temper has a body count.
Circus Maximus by Axel Vera
The greatest family circus show is in town but a dark reality lurks over it. With their mother away battling cancer, two brothers are left behind—one a gifted singer, the other a shy small worker, forced to clean up both the tent and their father’s rage. As their father drowns in alcohol and frustration, the elder son’s voice goes unappreciated, while the younger, too small to shine but big enough to take the blows, suffers the worst of the abuse. Through shifting monologues between the ring and reality, their tragic act unfolds. Will they escape before the final curtain falls?
Lucy in the Sky with Big Dog by Maya Balazs
Heaven has lost another angel, this one being cynical and God’s daughter. We follow Lucy as she desperately tries to find a way to gain the knowledge she lacks as an angel born and raised in heaven; the meaning of human experience.
