From the winner of the 2018 Vermont Writer’s Prize, this debut novel is a refreshing, down-to-earth approach to the YA sci-fi thriller genre. In contrast to high fantasy or dystopian storylines, “Not Alone” is a contemporary tale of a fourteen-year-old girl, Blue, and fifteen-year-old boy, Will—two very different yet very relatable teens with a shared special ability that leads them into a life-threatening showdown with an unusually resourceful drug dealer. The deep character development and nimble perspective changes weave a rich backdrop for the tense and shocking climax and form a solid foundation for the series. $0.99 on Kindle.

WHEN ALIENS INVADE, ONLY A CON MAN CAN SAVE THE DAY…

Hollis Palmer is not a good man. An unapologetic thief and womanizer, Hollis has no time for anything that won’t profit him directly. So while the rest of the world is staring up in shock as aliens race toward Earth, he’s busy stealing a case valuable enough that he’ll be able to ride out any invasion in style.

But ET’s arrival proves to be a bigger catastrophe than Hollis – or humanity – expected. Meanwhile, his would-be hostage, Mia Davies, the trophy wife of his criminal boss, is making the aliens look like a walk in the park.

As their plans crumble along with the rest of the world, Hollis and Mia find themselves on the run from a motley crew of aliens, criminals, and crackpots. The two of them must figure out a way to work together without killing each other before something really bad happens–like the city gets blown up, for example.

The city of Austin is under siege, and only a charming criminal has any hope of saving it.

The first book in Platt & Truant’s new series set in their bestselling Invasion Universe, Save the City is a relentless, action-packed tale of alien apocalypse that will leave you breathless – and ready for more. Free on Kindle.

When a young girl from a backwater planet joins the fleet, she begins a journey that will change not only her life, but history itself.

As her judgement day nears, Standish must risk everything to discover if warriors are only forged in the white heat of battle. Free on Kindle.
