A mysterious email from an unknown sender offering $1000 just to play. Would you do it? Welcome to Theta House!

#booksky
A mysterious invitation from an unknown sender. “Dearest Fiend, You are cordially invited to attend the first ever Theta House Experience...” The email promised an escape-room challenge like no other. $1,000 just to play, another $1000 for the first contestant to complete the challenge. Six kids fresh out of high school find the offer too tempting to resist. Their reasons vary but the goal is the same: follow the clues, solve the puzzle, claim the prize. But will they be able to finish the game before it finishes them? Available from Earth Island Books, your favorite bookstore, or online. https://a.co/d/e0Oy1M6 #booksky

The world is f*cked and Colin Chapel wants to set things right. With a growing cast of friends and allies (not to mention his daughter, Shoestring) he tries to do just that. Success isn't guaranteed but he won't go down without a fight.

Honored to share this review of my 2nd poetry collection Mutants, from Mary L Schmidt. Please check it out, and consider picking up one of her books. I enjoyed a couple of them; she's got something for everyone!! #writingcommunity #poetry #authors #poems #reviews

whenangelsfly.net/2026/02/14/m...
Mutants 5.0 out of 5 stars, Meaningful. Format: Kindle This book for poetry is immersion. The manner in which it is composed gives pause and feeling to the written words. Moving poetry is always a good thing and Mr. Aikin has accomplished that throughout this book.

Just registered SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL and coincidentally received my cheque for LOST CARGO (yes, you can still find it in some libraries). This is a great program so get in on it today! 📚🇨🇦 And if you want to help an author out, request that your library carry their books.

My first novel, NOCTURNE (YA supernatural horror), is about a girl who dreams the world's nightmares. She's led to the subterranean darklands, where they live and love her, while she becomes less and less suited to live in the real world.
