Space Chase (The Palmdale Files Book 1)


Harold Anderson - 2020
     If the American people understood what really happened, the U.S. government feared life would have irrevocably changed for the worse. In Space Chase, the premier installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind a mysterious Lockheed U-2 "Dragon Lady" crash in the mountains of Nevada and the extreme efforts the U.S. government went through to hide what happened. Space Chase—also known as Event 21 Zeta—is the first in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. Never heard of Palmdale? The author isn't surprised, and believes you never will outside of these short stories. The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.

Xander (The Billionaire Bradford Brothers, Part One)


Julia Nash - 2019
    A lie I needed to tell in order to make sure he hired me. If anyone knew the truth about my past, I’d probably never get hired for anything again. But trying to mislead Xander Bradford is pretty much pointless. The man is a machine in every way – he’s just a few years older than me, and yet he’s running a powerful biotech company worth billions of dollars. The stories of Xander’s romantic life are as legendary as his rise in the medical field. Pick any gorgeous celebrity—actress, model, singer—and he’s pretty much guaranteed to have bedded her, the proof splashed across every page of the tabloids. Meanwhile, I’m a total romantic novice. I had no time for guys while I was concentrating so hard on my education. Of course, that was before I got kicked out of med school, the one thing I was ever any good at… Apparently I haven’t learned my lesson, because now I’ve messed up again, and Xander has caught me. Little do I know that his way of dealing with my untruth will be to slowly torment me with his charisma, his charm, his ability to make me scream his name in bed. He will teach me everything about my body, and destroy everything I thought I knew about my mind and soul. Because as it turns out, the ultimate punishment for my crimes might just be losing Xander Bradford forever…

Dragon's Envoy


James Haddock - 2022
    But this is no bard’s song. All of this was because of the dragon stone necklace I scavenged from that dead mage. I knew it was magic when I saw it. Well, it was and it wasn’t. Dragon stone they call it, but what it actually is, is a dragon’s egg. When I touched it, I felt the need to put it around my neck for safekeeping. When I did, the necklace embedded itself inside my skin, making me the new dragon’s envoy. It has since been my duty to protect the egg until she’s ready to hatch. How do I know the egg is a she? Easy, she talks to me and is helping me to bring out my natural magic talents. Sometimes I’d rather it was a bard’s song, as it can be tiring. Although I must admit, having a dragon inside you comes in handy when people are trying to kill you.
