The Crow Behind the Mirror (The Mirror Wars, Book 1)
Sean M. Hogan
3/1/2018, Young Adult, Science Fiction/Horror
Behind the mirror lies a world most people could never dream of. A land populated by tree-sprites and pig-runs, knights and pharaohs, dragons and unicorns, fairies and gods. But now their numbers dwindle.
In a dark temple, the Undead Bride weeps. Spring never comes. An endless winter sets in. A father’s sin continues to fester and grow.
Trapped on a dying world, a young high school student finds herself a pawn in an otherworldly feud between three kingdoms, three races, and three gods.
Meet Sharon. After her father abandoned her at the ripe old age of five he left her to deal with more than a few issues. Social anxiety, depression, explosive anger, and a bitter, broken heart for starters. Despite her mother’s best intentions of starting over in a new city and enrolling her in a new high school, she finds it impossible to fit in. Too bad punching out the most popular girl in school hasn’t made her any friends—only distant ostracizing glares and a trip to the principal’s office.
But the cherry on top of the misery called her life? There’s this ghost that stalks her where ever she goes. A crow to be exact. One that won’t stay out of her dreams.
This mysterious phantom from the past comes for Sharon, stirring up dark secrets and forbidden sins of the father she hardly knew. Now, haunted by a crow that glides on the currents of daydreams and nightmares, she is drawn to the magic mirror. One careless touch will change everything…
Sharon is about to learn that sometimes it takes a broken girl to fix a broken world.

What would you do, if you discovered that you were the last surviving wizard in the world?
Bertram Bile wasn’t always like this. At primary school, he had friends, kind teachers, and great grades. But everything changed when he started his new school. His parents split up, his dad went missing, and his mum lost her job. Now he’s bullied by his classmate Angus and his evil geography teacher Miss Petrenko.
His dad had been Miss Petrenko’s first love, but she never forgave him for dumping her for Bertram’s mum when they were kids themselves. Bertram feels sure that Miss Petrenko knows more about his dad’s disappearance than she’s letting on. After all, why would you take a job as a geography teacher if you didn’t know any geography AND you hated kids?
The books of the Bertram Bile time travel adventure series follow the course of the River Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the North Sea in Essex. But don’t worry if you miss a book or two, you can jump in at any point in the series
The Last Wizard in the World
Lost in the forest during their geography field trip to Thames Head and Tewksbury Mead in Gloucestershire to find the source of the River Thames, Bertram mysteriously finds himself alone. All is not EXACTLY as it seems. For Bertram Bile is no ordinary, 11year-old boy, Bertram Bile is the LAST WIZARD IN THE WORLD, the last ‘norn’, the last existing user of magic. But the River Thames is in grave danger, and only the magical, time-travelling skills of Bertram can save it.
The Deadly Shrew
When a milkmaid spots two deadly shrews close to her prized cow, their death is the ONLY thing on her mind. Little does the milkmaid know that the shrews are 11-year-old time travellers Bertram and Molly. What will the milkmaid do to Bertram and Molly if she catches them? Could this be the end of our magical time-travelling duo? Based on the actual British folklore of the ”�shrew ash’ long believed to be a cure for a lame cow.
The Hexed Child
A crying child, an old ash tree, and only a witch with the ability to cure, but at what cost? A Bertram Bile time travel adventure, set at Thames Head, the source of the River Thames, in Gloucestershire, England. Based on a true story.

Whilst visiting Bertram’s aunty, a very old and wise witch, Bertram and Molly happen upon a man hanging upside down from a tree. Can the time travelling duo help the man find the answers to the riddles he needs to solve?
The Ghostly Ship
During a visit to the witch’s tree where his aunty Hester lives, Bertram learns the origins of the REAL source of the River Thames and the story of an evil magician who sought revenge on the King and his sons. Is this the reason why brothers fight?
The Dead Jester
Thorkell was once the most famous court jester in all the land – best friend to King Aethelstan and the man who rallied the troops before every successful battle. He loved nothing better than warming up a crowd ready to receive the King. Things were a bit more tricky these days, what with him being dead and not as handsome looking as he was before he lost his skin and bones. If only Thorkell could perform for a crowd, just once more, it would mean the world (and the underworld) to him. Is there anything that Bertram and Molly can do to make a jester laugh one more time?
The Boy who was Afraid of the Dark
“My name is Jack. I’m an orphan at the Foundling Hospital in London where I’ve been since I was five years old – some birthday present that was. Things are about to go from bad to worse when some boys are mean to me. What happens next is going to change my life forever, but will it be all bad, or could there be a silver lining?”
The Raven’s Curse
A girl’s brothers have gone missing, a King has cursed his sons, and the nursery nurse has said way too much already. It will take the love of a princess and two time-travelling strangers to save the seven ravens in the castle. If they survive the challenges they face on their way that is.

Eric Flint, Paula Goodlet, Gorg Huff
3/4/2018, Paranormal Fantasy
It’s January of 1372 and the space-time continuum has been breached by a great rift. Demons, imps, and spirits, evil and benign, spill into the universe from the netherworld.
In Paris, a series of grisly murders that couldn’t possibly be performed by a human, no matter how depraved, leads the Grand Chatelet and his men to try and raise a demon of their own to learn how to combat the creature that is terrorizing the city.
Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—the demon who is summoned brings with him a van from the Paris of the twenty-first century. The van contains a modern day drama teacher, her son, and eight precocious high school students—along with all of their electronic devices. Soon, their laptops, tablets and cell-phones become possessed by imps and spirits of the netherworld, some of whom are brilliant and all of whom are insatiably curious.
Soon it’s a race to see which pack of outsiders can create the most turmoil in the late Middle Ages—monstrous demons or precocious teenagers who soon have their own allies and followers among the ranks of demonkind.
And King Charles V had already been in trouble! Piled onto his own poor health, a suspicious and contentious church, France’s always-quarrelsome nobility—worst of all, his unscrupulous and ambitious brother, Philip the Bold—the king now has both demons and people from the future to contend with.
He does have one asset—and not a small one. He can place his trusted Constable of France, Bertrand du Guesclin, in charge of the rambunctious teenagers from the future and their ever-growing legion of demons. And Bertrand has a great asset of his own—his wife Tiphaine de Raguenel, perhaps the best astrologer in all of France and, for sure and certain, not a woman to take seriously the prattling nonsense of youngsters skeptical of her lore and knowledge.

Marc Mattson
3/16/2018, Young Adult, Science Fiction
Emily Clocke is on another planet. Well, that’s how she feels, anyway, after being dragged by her widower mother from a perfectly comfortable California existence to a lonely Chicago suburb. And it doesn’t help that her brooding older brother Eric is giving her the silent treatment, her classmates barely seem to notice she exists, and the new science teacher seems intent on making her into some kind of nerd pariah.
So it’s no wonder Emily feels like the world is going to end, or that she’s floating in a vast, dark void. You’d think, then, that Emily wouldn’t feel much of anything when her science teacher one day tells her that the world is, in fact, going to end, and that the only way to survive would be to accompany her into a vast, dark void to a space station orbiting another planet 500 years in the future where the self-proclaimed ‘remnant’ of Earth lives.
Except that, when it actually does happen, Emily does feel it. She feels it deeply, because she ends up leaving behind all of the things she didn’t realize she cared about. And mild mannered Emily Clocke will stop at nothing to get it all back.
Jumping from present day Earth to 26th-century Jupiter and back again, The Counterclock Prophecy is a breakneck adventure where time-travel doesn’t quite work the way you think and saving your family may come at the expense of the entire world.

She takes her friend, Peter Attwood, an archaeologist and historian to investigate the shop, but what they find is far more than a simple neglected retail store.
They discover a coin minted at the time of the young King Edward V, but when they try to remove it from the shop, they step outside and into 1483, the year the coin was minted. Wanting to see the princes in the Tower and perhaps discover the truth of what happened to them, Peter persuades Rachel to dress in some of the historical clothing in the back room of the antique shop, and visit the Tower. There they watch the young King Edward V writing and when he leaves his scroll on a stone bench, Peter takes the opportunity to grab it.
A journal written by one of the princes could be worth a fortune, but when they try to take it out of the shop, they find the same problem: it cannot be taken into the twenty first century. A scheme to hide the scroll in the fifteenth century and find it again in the twenty-first seems an easy option, until they are observed digging it up and accused of witchcraft.
