<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I’ve come too far to surrender now&#8230;.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eledan’s nightmare has been unleashed upon the worlds, and with Oberon gone, only the Messenger crew stands in its way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kellee, Talen, Sirius, Sota, and Kesh. Together, they are stronger, but there are forces on Faerie who do not want the worlds saved, forces that would see the Messenger and her crew torn apart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Queen to Faerie’s new king, Messenger, and more to the saru, lover to some and a weapon to others, but who is Kesh Lasota really? A guiding light or an unwitting puppet?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Answers are coming.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The time for lies has passed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And Kesh will soon learn some battles can’t be won alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The mind-blowing Messenger Chronicles comes to its explosive conclusion in&nbsp;Her Dark Legion.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kesh fled Faerie as a queen killer. Now she returns as the Faerie King’s secret obsession. But on Faerie, nothing is as it seems, not even Kesh herself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With days to stop Arran’s execution and the stoic guardian, Sirius, as her constant shadow, Kesh must weave her lies deep within Faerie’s courts where magic and whispers combine and conspire. Soon, Kesh learns there is more at stake than Arran’s life. Faerie is dying. Oberon’s reign is crumbling. The time to strike against the fae is now. But with Talen, Kellee and Sota a thousand light-years away, Kesh cannot succeed alone&#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beneath the courtly politics, the glittering facades, and the King’s fragile hold on his people, the Dreamweaver is locked in eternal slumber, dreaming of the day his Queen of Hearts will set him free&#8230;because he knows, Kesh Lasota has no other choice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kesh survived the Dreamweaver once before. Now all she has to do is control him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Faerie’s Dreamweaver has other ideas for the peoples’ Messenger. He knows who, and what Kesh really is and he has every intention of using her to make all his dreams come true.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He takes your mind, makes it his, takes your soul, makes you cruel. Dare you answer the Dreamweaver’s call?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Be careful which star you wish upon…</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The unseelie &#8211; banished by Oberon long ago &#8211; are stirring awake, and there&#8217;s one name on their poisoned lips: Nightshade.    </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kesh is beginning to settle into her role as Halow&#8217;s messenger, saving people from the fae with the help of Kellee, Talen, Arran, and Sota, but if she has any hope of making her wrongs right, she must trust those around her. Without them, there is no Messenger. Friends, lovers, more. But one has a secret. A secret so dark it threatens to change everything Kesh believes in. A secret that could change the fate of Faerie, Halow, and all of humanity.    </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the fae abandoned the stars long ago, they left behind more than fairy tales.    </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They left behind their monsters.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The fae-in-space &#8220;mind-blowing&#8221; best-selling series continues in The Nightshade&#8217;s Touch, Messenger Chronicles #3.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Author&#8217;s note: This series is a true reverse harem. The harem develops during the series.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you like fire-breathing giant creatures, dark elves reigning absolute and unchallenged, money-grubbing dwarves, and powerful dragons &#8211; you can find them in&nbsp;Transformation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The familiar world collapsed overnight. As the Transformation progressed, disasters occurred throughout the Earth. Materials changed their properties, new species of flora and fauna appeared. The Game converted our world into a huge dungeon, completely replacing the previous civilization.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the alien plans for Earth began to go awry from the very beginning. The conversion was less successful than expected. An ordinary young man stole the bonus for the first gaming action, depriving the invaders of their perk.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can Yaroslav manage this situation? Which aliens will become his ally? Which ones are his enemy? Dare they rebel against the all-powerful invaders, regain their land, and even create a new world?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

But have her lies finally caught up with her?</p>
<p>Trust doesn&#8217;t come easy for Kesh Lasota. She survived life as a slave, survived the Dreamweaver&#8217;s touch, but surviving Marshal Kellee and the mysterious Talen is a whole other game, one she&#8217;s not sure she&#8217;s ready for.</p>
<p>When the three are captured by a bloodthirsty fae general sweeping through the last of Halow&#8217;s human colonies, the only weapons they have left are lies. And so Kesh must pretend to be the gladiator they all expect, while Kellee is forced to fight against her, and Talen is&#8230; Well, just who is Talen when he can command soldiers with a glance and move among the fae elite as though he belongs?</p>
<p>Trust doesn&#8217;t come easy for Kesh Lasota, neither does love. She must survive both, or everything she&#8217;s fought for will be lost forever, including her men. The enchanting &amp; mind-blowing Messenger series continues with more action, more romance, and more exciting twists!</p>
<p>Please note: The Messenger Chronicles is a slow burn reverse harem. The reverse harem elements develop during the series.</p>
<p>Soundbooth Theater continues Pippa DaCosta&#8217;s tantalizing paranormal sci-fantasy. Annie Ellicott reprises her role as the mysterious Kesh Lasota, as we discover more about her origins with the Fae, and uncover her frigthening power. With Jeff Hays returning as Kellee, Talen, and a growing cast of brooding fae, Annie continues to delve into Kesh&#8217;s psyche, and reveal her true nature.</p>

Part American Idol, part Iowa Caucus, her online political competition will find the most popular independent candidate in America and give them a genuine shot to win the presidency.</p>
<p>Anyone can run&#8230;.</p>
<p>The American people vote online&#8230;.</p>
<p>The winner receives instant fame and a campaign warchest to battle the Democrats and Republicans in 2020.</p>
<p>In Echo Chamber, the third book, she sets out to transform American democracy. Now she&#8217;s afraid of what will happen if she succeeds.</p>
<p>Mia Rhodes created Ameritocracy to make it possible for anyone to become president. But as her online political competition races toward its finale, it&#8217;s poised to elect a Machiavellian manipulator with a winning smile, leaving Mia to wonder whether she&#8217;s changed anything at all. As the competition builds to its spectacular final debate in Washington, DC, Mia and her team must question everything they&#8217;ve done so far and defeat a threat to democracy they had never imagined.</p>

But when you take on the establishment, the establishment pushes back.</p>
<p>Six months ago, Mia Rhodes was a Seattle office manager, toiling away from nine to five and spending her weekends managing her online political competition, Ameritocracy. Now, that competition is spreading across the American political landscape, making Mia a celebrity and giving Ameritocracy a real shot at upending the two-party system in the 2020 election. But as the final voting draws near, Mia is betrayed by one of the people she trusts most, throwing Ameritocracy into disarray, and possibly ending her dream of changing American politics forever.</p>

<p>Lies aren&#8217;t her only weapons against the fae&#8230;</p>
<p>In the Halow system, one of Earth’s three sister star systems, tek and magic &#8211; humans and fae &#8211; are at war.</p>
<p>Kesh Lasota is a ghost in the machine. Invisible to tek, she’s hired by the criminal underworld to carry illegal messages through the Halow system. But when one of those messages kills its recipient, Kesh finds herself on the run with a bounty on her head and a quick-witted marshal on her tail.</p>
<p>Proving her innocence should be straightforward. Until a warfae steals the evidence she needs. The fae haven’t been seen in Halow in over a thousand years. And this one &#8211; a brutally efficient killer able to wield tek &#8211; should not exist. But neither should Kesh.</p>
<p>As Kesh’s carefully crafted lie of a life crumbles around her, she knows being invisible is no longer an option. To hunt the warfae, to stop him from destroying a thousand-year fragile peace, she must resurrect the horrors of her past.</p>
<p>Kesh Lasota was a ghost. Now she’s back, and there’s only one thing she knows for certain: Nobody shoots the messenger and gets away with it.</p>
<p>DragonCon Award finalist for Best Fantasy (Paranormal) 2018</p>

The American people vote online&#8230;. The winner receives instant fame and a campaign war chest to battle the Democrats and Republicans in 2020.</p>
<p>Welcome to Ameritocracy, the new political series people are calling &#8220;The West Wing meets Survivor&#8221; and &#8220;Mr. Smith Goes to Washington for the social media age.&#8221;</p>
<p>After a lifetime of political disillusionment, Mia Rhodes created an alternative to the two-party system: Ameritocracy. Part American Idol, part Iowa Caucus, her online political competition promises to find the most popular independent candidate in America and give them a genuine shot to win the presidency.</p>
<p>But her project flounders until Mia catches the eye of eccentric tech billionaire Peter Colton. With Mia&#8217;s vision and Peter&#8217;s money, Ameritocracy moves rapidly from punchline to possibility. As the site grows, the stakes rise crisis by crisis, and Mia must learn that ending politics as we know it means saying good-bye to the Mia Rhodes she has always known.</p>
<p>Soundbooth Theater is proud to work together with AC Fuller yet again in presenting the audio version of this thought-provoking and timely political drama that questions the current state of our democratic system and proposes a new way for technology to shape our government going forward. Annie Ellicott delivers a masterful performance as the charming, principled, and innovative Mia Rhodes, and we look forward to presenting the rest of this clever and poignant series to you very soon!</p>

<p>Annie Ellicott &#8211; narration<br />
Jeff Hays &#8211; Peter Colton, Halon Dixon, and the rest of the male cast<br />

<p>After being knocked unconscious by a crowbar, Hartford, Connecticut, man Hank Morgan awakens to find himself in the legendary realm of Camelot, 1,300 years in the past, at the point of a lance. Though the savages in this ancient land immediately see fit to imprison him, Hank learns to use his modern 19th-century knowledge to easily outwit everyone he comes across, including King Arthur himself. With only a little effort, he establishes himself as a powerful sorcerer, feared by all and known only as &#8220;The Boss&#8221;.</p>
<p>Twain lays out his criticisms of the South, monarchy, and chivalry in this hilarious, heart-wrenching, epic romp of social commentary. Experience it as though you were in King Arthur&#8217;s court yourself, with this unique take on the timeless time-travel adventure.</p>
