SUNRISE OVER SHIPPO
THE ASUR TRILOGY BOOK 1
A SALVAGE TITLE UNIVERSE NOVEL
All Kailey Jackson ever wanted to do was study the lost civilization of the Asur in peace. When she proposed an archaeological investigation into the ruins on Shippo, home of the fox-like Kitsoonay who raised her, she had no idea the infamous Badar Syndicate was funding the dig, or that they would use it as a cover to invade her world. Now, Shippo is under attack, and Kailey and her Kitsoonay sister Jinx barely escaped the Syndicate with the help of the Lancers mercenary unit. The Lancers are going to take their planet back, but they can’t go in blind. Kailey, feeling responsible for the attack, volunteers to lead the scout mission back to Shippo. The Syndicate is expecting her return, after all, one way or another. So what if it puts her life in danger? So what if she isn’t a fighter? Kailey is willing to do whatever it takes to fix what she broke, even if it means putting herself back in the hands of the very organization killing her people. Because sometimes…sometimes you have to fight to protect what you love.

AMONG THE EMBERS
The world has Fallen, but life goes on…
In the late 2020’s and early 30’s corporations managed to render the major governments of the world obsolete. The big corporations owned most of the territories as well as the majority of the world’s wealth. While many of the old traditions were still observed in various parts of the world, the true power was with the corporations.
In the late 30’s, what would be known as the Corporate Wars began as larger companies initiated hostile takeovers in a whole new fashion. Employees, armed with corporate weapons, warred for dominance. It was a bloody time, and many small corporations were destroyed, as were a lot of civilians in the wrong place at the wrong time… as well as those who’d been buying the wrong products.
On May 1st, 2067, it all ended in nuclear fire.
Fifteen outstanding authors have come to this Fallen World with stories that take place from the islands off the coast of Massachusetts to the California coast; from the swamps of Louisiana to the mountains of Colorado. These stories not only show you the Fall… but introduce you to some of the people who might just drag civilization back from the embers…
TALONS & TALISMANS
Beasts and monsters walk among us!

A necromancer tries to save a zombie from a broken heart. A medusa searches for someone who sees her and doesn’t have a heart of stone. Werewolves mourn lost families while seeking new ones. And, of course, there are Dragons, including one who must choose between his hoard and a new friend.
Will these monsters remain monstrous, or will they become something more than simply a beast? Come and find out.

They made allies who helped them achieve great victories, and they ultimately founded new colonies in what has become known as the Salvage System.
The galaxy is a big place, though, peopled with thousands of races, and most haven’t graced the pages of a Salvage Title book…until now.

WE DARE: NO MAN'S LAND
We Dare: No Man's Land
Ripley facing down the Xenomorph Queen. Sarah Connor fighting the Terminator. David Weber’s Honor Harrington. Science fiction novels and the silver screen are full of badass women kicking butt and taking names. Sometimes it’s the momma bear persona stepping up to defend her young, but, other times, she’s just the meanest one standing—bionic arm or not!
Edited by Jamie Ibson and Chris Kennedy, “We Dare: No Man’s Land” is a collection of 15 all-new stories with female leads. Whether it’s changing an engine on the outside of a spaceship’s hull or chasing SimNACs through the jungle, these heroines have only one goal in mind—to win at all costs! From defending asteroid bases to searching giant space stations, these women get the job done!
What makes female leads great? Does it matter—these women are incredible! Be warned though—they may be referred to as the “fairer” sex, but don’t cross these ladies, or you’re gonna get what you have coming! The authors dared write about these awesome women; will you dare to join them on their adventures? If so, step inside. But beware…this is No Man’s Land!
SONGS OF VALOR
Fifteen tremendous authors. Fifteen extraordinary stories. One outstanding anthology.
It is a time of high adventure! A time for heroes to say “No!” to the evils that will befall their families and friends if they don’t rise to the task at hand…even if they don’t want to! If they won’t take up arms and spells on behalf of their people, civilization will fall.
Fifteen exceptional authors have spun tales of reluctant heroes—people often like you and me, who didn’t think they were worthy, needed, or even “the right one for the job.” Sometimes all they have going for them is that they’re the wrong person at the wrong time. When there’s no one else, though, a hero must do what’s necessary, whether that’s fighting demons, the undead, or an unconquerable enemy.
Songs of Valor focuses on heroes rising to the challenge presented them. An untrained human facing an ancient dragon. A necromancer fighting a demon in the land of the elves. A dragon rider well past her prime coming back to protect the ones she loves. An over-the-hill fighter who does what he must to stem the tide of evil.
Inside are fifteen incredible stories of heroes rising to the occasion. Their willingness to brave the peril, though, doesn’t guarantee their success. If their valor should fail, all indeed will be lost! Will they succeed? Step inside and find out!

SHORT STORIES
SHADOWS BEFORE SUNRISE
A SALVAGE TITLE UNIVERSE SHORT STORY
Solve the riddle. Find the treasure. Save their home.
Such a simple plan. What could possibly go wrong?
When Kailey Jackson found the coordinates to an undiscovered Asur outpost, she never thought things would get quite so… complicated. Or dangerous.
Before their disappearance, the enigmatic Asur scattered outposts across the galaxy. Outposts stocked with advanced weapons, mechs, and more credit than most beings see in their lifetime. They left clues behind, riddles wrapped in songs, that few are able to understand, let alone solve.
But Kailey specializes in the Asur. She knows how they think, knows how to translate their runes. With her Kitsoonay sister Jinx at her side, she thought they could handle any competition—until the Badar Syndicate gets involved. A chance meeting with the Lancers mercenary company might just be the help they so desperately need.
Can they solve the riddle in time to secure the treasure? Or will the Badar Syndicate find them first?
No matter how dangerous things get, Kailey refuses to quit. Not when failure could mean losing everything. . . and everyone.
OATHBREAKER
A soldier sworn to uphold her duty.
A deserter on the run from his sworn oaths.
An immortal Angel in pursuit.
When Nora volunteered to do the supply run for Fort Mountain Home, she never expected to find an old friend along the way back. A powerful mage of the Angel Army, Michael is on the run and just about out of options. Brought back to Mountain Home for desperately-needed healing, Michael is forced to accept help from the unlikeliest of heroes.
Now, Nora and her ragtag command of magic-less throwbacks are all that stand between their old friend and an Angel who will stop at nothing to retrieve what was stolen.
Can the oathbound and an oathbreaker complete one final mission together to save their world?
SHATTER ME
Hannah was just fine with how her life was going. She had a stable job, a best friend, and a comfortable life.
What did it matter if she wasn’t happy? What did it matter if her life was as boring and predictable as clockwork? It was hers, and she’d earned every bit of it. So when her very much ex-boyfriend shows up on her doorstep one night after vanishing for six years, she’s tempted to kick him out without listening to a word he says—but she’d always been a sucker for those green eyes and tonight was no different. Matt’s crazy story of monsters and magic was as unbelievable as his proof was undeniable.
Six years was a long time for someone to change. Will Hannah trust the man she once loved and break the chains binding her...or will she stick to her clockwork path?
