Jasper T. Scott

Space Opera Science Fiction
Ten years ago, the Sythians invaded the galaxy with a single goal: the complete extermination of the human race. đ They nearly succeeded. Now the survivors are hiding in Dark Spaceâonce a place of exile for criminals, now the last refuge of mankind. The once galaxy-spanning Imperium of Star Systems has been reduced to guarding the single gate that provides the only way in or out.
Freelancer and ex-convict Ethan Ortane is on the run. He owes crime lord Alec Brondi 10,000 sols, his ship is badly damaged, and his options have run out. đ When Brondi catches up with him, he makes an offer Ethan canât refuse: infiltrate and sabotage the Valiant, the Imperial carrier guarding the entrance to Dark Space, and the debt disappears.
Ethan is still wrestling with the decision when he discovers something worseâthe Imperium has been lying to everyone, putting all of Dark Space at risk. đ Suddenly Brondiâs plan starts to look like a necessary evil. But before Ethan can act, he realizes the real plan is far more sinister than what he was told, and heâll be lucky to escape the Valiant alive.

Hereâs what youâre getting: a propulsive sci-fi thriller about humanityâs last stand, where the enemies within may be worse than the ones at the gate. đ¸ First in a series for readers who like their space opera dark, fast, and full of twists.

Clement Clarke Moore
FREE
Christmas Short Stories
This is the poem that invented Santa Claus as we know him. đ Before Clement Clarke Mooreâs 1823 masterpiece, Saint Nicholas was a historical figure and a scattered collection of European folk traditions. After it, he was a jolly man in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer, descending chimneys on Christmas Eve to fill stockings by the fire.
Mooreâs verses capture the anticipation of Christmas Eve like nothing else in the languageâthe house settled into silence, the children asleep, the sudden clatter on the roof that changes everything. đŚ The rhythm is infectious, the images indelible: the miniature sleigh, the bundle of toys, the nose like a cherry, the bowl full of jelly. Two centuries later, families still read these words aloud on December 24th.
This edition presents the complete poem in a clean, beautifully formatted version perfect for reading aloud. ⨠The pacing is ideal for bedtime storytelling, with verses that build anticipation and a conclusion that sends everyone to sleep dreaming of sugarplums (whatever those are).
Moore wrote the poem for his children, never intending publication, and that intimacy shows. đ This isnât public spectacleâitâs a father creating magic for his family, and that warmth has radiated outward for two hundred years, making this the cornerstone of Christmas tradition it remains today.
Hereâs what youâre getting: the most beloved holiday poem ever written, responsible for more of our Santa Claus imagery than any other single source. đ An essential keepsake for family reading and a perfect gift for young children discovering the magic of Christmas Eve.

A Place to Call Home: Timeless Southern Charm
James T. Farmer III
Regularly $19.99, Today $3.99
Interior Architectural Design
James Farmerâs design philosophy is rooted in a simple belief: a house becomes a home through the stories it holds. đĄ In this beautifully photographed volume, the acclaimed interior designer takes readers on a guided tour of eleven projects across the Deep Southâfrom makeovers to remodels to new constructionâeach one a master class in blending high and low, storied and new, collected and found.
Farmerâs approach celebrates the cultivated mix. A pristine antique sideboard sits beside a flea market find; heirloom silver shares space with modern ceramics. đż The result is never museum-piece perfection but something warmerârooms that feel lived-in, layered, and deeply personal. His eye for color, texture, and proportion transforms spaces while honoring their architectural bones and regional character.
Woven throughout the stunning photography are Farmerâs own stories about growing up in the South, the people who shaped his aesthetic, and how he fell in love with design in the first place. đ These personal essays give the book soul beyond its visual pleasures, revealing the memories and relationships that inform his work.
The homes themselves span a range of stylesâfrom gracious historic properties to contemporary buildsâbut share a common thread: they feel like places where people actually live, not showrooms. 𪴠Farmer shows how to infuse new construction with the patina of age, how to honor inherited pieces while making them feel fresh, and how to create rooms that welcome rather than intimidate.
Hereâs what youâre getting: a gorgeous design book thatâs also genuinely useful, full of ideas you can adapt regardless of your budget or square footage. đ¸ Farmer proves that Southern style isnât about formality or grandeurâitâs about comfort, memory, and making space for the people you love.

Linnea McConaughy knows that secrets and lies make poor references, but her survival depends on keeping her past hidden. 𤍠Sheâs fled to the Colorado frontier seeking a fresh start, and sheâll do whatever it takes to protect herselfâand the baby sheâs carrying. When she takes a position as housekeeper for rancher Will Tucker, sheâs determined to work hard, keep her head down, and never let him discover the shameful truth that drove her west.
Will Tucker doesnât like surprises, and Linnea is definitely not what he expected. Heâd advertised for a sturdy, past-her-prime widow to manage his householdânot this tiny slip of womanhood who looks like a strong wind might carry her off. đž But thereâs something about her quiet determination that gets under his skin. Sheâs clearly running from something, and against his better judgment, he finds himself wanting to be the place sheâs running to.
St. John excels at this kind of tender frontier romance, where two wounded people slowly build trust across the distance of their secrets. đ Linneaâs fear of discovery is palpableâsheâs carrying another manâs child and knows exactly how the world judges women in her position. Willâs gruff exterior masks a loneliness heâs reluctant to admit, and watching him soften toward Linnea feels earned rather than inevitable.
The ranch setting provides both isolation and intimacy, forcing these two into proximity while the outside world and its judgments feel distant. đď¸ St. John renders the details of frontier life with careâthe work, the weather, the precariousness of survivalâgrounding the romance in physical reality.
Hereâs what youâre getting: a sweet, emotionally satisfying historical romance about second chances, found family, and the courage it takes to let someone see the truth of who you are. đ Perfect for readers who love their frontier romance with heart, tenderness, and a hero who proves himself worthy of trust.

How do you spot a liar when all your suspects are professional actors?
The London theatre setting sparkles with backstage drama, rivalries, and the particular intensity of opening week pressure. đ Watson captures the world with affection and insider detail, and the dynamic between the three Dahliasâcompetitive, loyal, complicatedâgives the mystery its emotional engine. The puzzle is fair-play and satisfying, with enough misdirection to keep readers guessing.

Steamy Historical Romance
After years as a diplomat navigating the treacherous waters of the Napoleonic Wars, Lord Eastwood has returned to London societyâand heâs miserable about it. đ¨ His scandalous divorce has made him infamous, and the tonâs gossip mill never stops churning. Heâs become cantankerous, guarded, and convinced that his only path to respectability is marrying some quiet, conventional noblewoman who wonât cause a stir.
Enter Faith Brookes: bold, vibrant, artistic, and absolutely not what he had in mind. đď¸ Faith is a painterâtalented, opinionated, and entirely unsuitable for a man trying to rehabilitate his reputation. Sheâs exactly the kind of woman the gossips love to whisper about. And yet Eastwood canât stay away. She sees through his gruff exterior; heâs drawn to her fire and honesty. They are the least appropriate match imaginable.
Heath excels at the slow-burn dynamic between two people who know better but canât help themselves. ⨠The chemistry is sharp and genuine, built on verbal sparring that gradually reveals vulnerability beneath the bravado.

Convictions: How I Learned What Matters Most
Marcus J. Borg
Regularly $9.99, Today $1.99
Christian Spiritual Growth
On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, the renowned scholar Marcus Borg offers something more personal than his previous work: a spiritual autobiography organized around the convictions that have shaped his faith. âď¸ Each chapter embodies a distinct belief, and together they form a manifesto for progressive Christians seeking the best path for following Jesus today.
Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on ideas that challenge conventional assumptions: God is real and a mystery. Salvation is more about this life than an afterlife. The Bible can be true without being literally true. Jesusâs death on the cross mattersâbut not because he paid for our sins. đ These arenât abstract theological propositions; Borg grounds each one in his own journey, showing how he arrived at these positions through doubt, study, and lived experience.
The book is also a call to action. Borg argues that American Christians are at their best when they focus on hope and transformation rather than exclusivity and judgment. đ God, he contends, is passionate about justice and the poor, and to love God is to love like God. He urges readers to reject divisiveness and create communities that celebrate joy, possibility, and renewalâto bring to earth the kingdom Jesus actually talked about.
Borgâs writing is accessible without being simplistic, scholarly without being dry. He engages seriously with scripture and tradition while remaining open to mystery and uncertainty. đď¸ For readers raised in more conservative traditions, some of these ideas may feel radical; for others, theyâll articulate what theyâve intuited but couldnât name.
Hereâs what youâre getting: a wise, searching book from one of progressive Christianityâs most important voices, offering a vision of faith grounded in love, justice, and intellectual honesty. đ Rich in insight, warm in tone, and likely to become a touchstone for readers seeking a thoughtful, generous Christianity.

His mother struggles to keep her job while caring for her husband. And young Ever is lost and angry at all he doesnât understand, at a world that seems designed to undermine his sense of safety.

Amateur Sleuth Mysteries
Lady Georgiana Rannoch is adjusting to new motherhoodâwhich would be challenging enough without also being 34th in line for the British throne and solving a string of suspicious deaths. đś Making matters worse, she absolutely despises the strict nanny foisted upon her by her meddlesome sister-in-law.
