Meet John Bailey

John Bailey is a storyteller who traverses the ages—whether roaming the scorched deserts of Mars, the crumbling cathedrals of Reformation Europe, or the haunted back alleys of 1912 Shanghai. With a pen rooted in conviction and imagination, he writes tales where faith meets fire, where courage is tested, and where truth costs everything.

His works span genres but share a common spirit: from Flames of the Word: Stories of Reform and Renewal, which breathes life into the heroic journeys of the great Reformers and Bible translators, to Red Dust, Steam, and Glory, a collection of pulpy, high-octane spiritual adventures set among the stars, and The Phantom Atlas, a globe-spanning supernatural mystery set on the eve of modernity.

Drawing on deep historical research and a love of golden-age adventure, John crafts stories that are both thrilling and thoughtful—celebrating conviction, sacrifice, and the eternal battle between light and shadow. He writes for readers who hunger for meaning as much as excitement.

When not writing, John explores historical sites, teaches, and hikes through forgotten places with a notebook in hand. He lives in the American Southwest with his family and far too many books.

John Bailey would like you to consider his book: Quade! Book I: The Titan Contract (The Quade Expeditions 1)

On Titan, survival isn’t guaranteed. Trust is even rarer.

Commander Elias Quade was preparing to retire.

Then the offer came.

A buried alien vault beneath the methane storms of Titan.
A sealed artifact no one has opened.
A private contract no one else will take.

The risk is extreme. The pay is exceptional.

But Quade quickly discovers he’s not alone.

A rival expedition—backed by the powerful Axiom Directorate—is already moving in. Corporate interference, sabotage, and cryovolcanic instability turn the mission into a race against time.

As drones fail, temperatures plummet, and the terrain fractures beneath their feet, Quade must rely on skill, discipline, and human resilience—not just machines—to survive.

What they recover will point to something far larger than a single artifact.

And someone is willing to reshape humanity’s future to control it.

The Titan Contract is the first novel in The Quade Expeditions, a hard science fiction survival series blending realistic space exploration, corporate rivalry, and high-stakes planetary danger.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Competent protagonists
• Realistic technology
• Survival against hostile environments
• Moral tension without melodrama

The Expedition begins here.

Frederick Gero Heimbach would like you to try his novel: Buckingham Runner

I’m sixteen and I’m living in a prison. It’s called Buckingham Palace. I’m Alfred, Prince of Wales.

My parents are dead. My grandma–the Queen–has lost her mind. My only friend is an alcoholic corgi named Wormwood. I’m being raised by bureaucrats. Who hate me.

The tabloids call me ROYAL BRAT. That’s for getting kicked out of Eton. For setting fire to the chapel. And stabbing the headmaster in the foot with a syringe.

I’m doing a runner. Someone’s got to help me!

Maybe those kids can. Yeah, them. In the Westminster School uniforms. The clever clogs, raising their hands, answering the teacher’s questions. The athlete, the genius, the girlboss, the babe. Each with a brilliant future. At Oxford. Or Cambridge.

Would they throw that away for my sake? Would they risk getting sacked from London’s top school to help a poor tosser like me? When guards are watching my every move, listening in on every conversation? Me, with a bloody GPS tracker in my hip?

I’m a hot mess. They’ve got it all together. I’m a prisoner. They can go anywhere. I’ll never escape–unless they take pity on me.They better. I’m this close to striking the match that burns Buckingham Palace to the ground.

Meet Bryce Beatty

Sometimes I feel like I was born 70 years too late. I love big band jazz and swing dancing. I read pulp novels written by folks like Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs & Lester Dent. I often listen to old time radio programs. I dig the style of the 30’s and 40’s. But then again, I also love my Kindle, air conditioning, and YouTube, so maybe I’m lucky to be right when I am.

Other stuff: I’m very religious (LDS). Politically, I am libertarian. I love my family (a wife, three little girls, and a son). I love old pulp novels, radio theater, swing dancing, jazz and blues music, firearms, writing, reading and I believe in being prepared, laughing often, and showing respect to people around me.

Bryce Beatty would like you to consider his book: Escape from OUB-8

Space pirates murdered his crew. Time for some payback. 

Cavalier Burns is the first mate on an interstellar freighter, and his only goal in life is to someday become the captain of his own vessel. That dream is shattered when pirates assault his ship. It is only by accident that he is left alive. Burning with hatred toward his shipmates’ killers, he is willing to throw his life away if it means exacting revenge on the brutal aliens.

All that changes when he learns he’s not the only innocent on board the pirates’ space station. Now, Cav must race the clock and find a way to get everyone off the ugliest base he’s ever seen.

Fans of furious space-going action and adventure will love this short space opera.

Meet Jerry Stratton

Meet Rob Howell

Rob Howell writes epic fantasy, space opera, military science fiction, alternate history and whatever else seems interesting.

He is a reformed medieval academic, a former IT professional, and a retired soda jerk.

His parents discovered quickly books were the only way to keep Rob quiet. He latched onto the Hardy Boys series first and then anything he could reach. Without books, it’s unlikely all three would have survived.

Now he and his wife run a quilt store, so he’s learned more about fabric and quilting than younger him ever believed possible. However, it means he’s surrounded by sewing machines, of which he has a healthy, non-irrational fear.

Rob Howell would like you to consider his novel: A Lake Most Deep: The Edwardsaga (Firehall Sagas Book 1)

“Rob mixes intrigue, murder, and magic into his own cool blend.” – Larry Correia

Edward sought a future of honor and hope, but only got murder and mayhem.

He came to the Empire of Makhaira to join the Imperial Guard, who admit only the best. Instead, he pledges his sword—and his life—to an innkeeper rather than the emperor.

In a land known for intricate plots and ancestral enmities, the empire’s corruption seeks to end his life with knives in the night and hidden treachery. And he must face these blades while memories of a father slain, a king defied, and oaths broken threaten his soul.

Can he find the one bringing schism, death, and hate before that steel tastes his blood? Or will be just another who came to the empire to lose everything?

Meet Z. M. Renick

She returned to Boulder to do her PhD in theoretical computer science, then worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the related field of computational biology. She has also been writing science fiction and fantasy during the copious freetime that a PhD student and scientist usually has.

But she soon learns that what’s humanly possible is only the beginning of what can happen on Silver Mountain Road. Creatures unlike any Emma has ever imagined lurk along its shoulders, and an ancient evil has discovered a new way of committing murder. Emma must find a way to vanquish that evil, or she might become its next victim.
