I didn’t see Rebecca die the second time.
Bookseller David Blake narrowly escaped the zombie outbreak in his small town. Conscripted by a super-secret, century-old, zombie-killing Special Forces unit, he races to stop the end of the world. But flesh-eating monsters aren’t the only enemies, and the darkness in humanity itself may be its downfall.
Heart-pumping action and complex characters will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. If you enjoyed The Walking Dead or World War Z, you’ll love this book.
The Bourbon Street Ripper is dead, and the mastermind behind him stands revealed. His end game for both sets of killings is simple: Sam Castille cannot die.
Now Sam lies in a coma as the remnants of the Knight Priory and Dr. Lazarus’ fledgling group battle over her and all of New Orleans.
Spanning five years and the intertwined lives of five characters, the explosive climax to this supernatural thriller trilogy will change the world forever!
In the haunting aftermath of civilization’s collapse, Vann Arnett stands alone—the last sane man in a world consumed by plague and stalked by the unhinged and murderous. When mysterious outsiders shatter his carefully constructed survival routine, Vann must fight not just to stay alive, but to maintain his humanity in an apocalyptic nightmare where sanity is the ultimate weapon.
“…that’s why John Morano’s books are important. He puts us in the minds of some lesser-known, perhaps unloved creatures. The octopus we all know, of course, but how many of us spare daily thoughts for a coelacanth or a petrel?”
— Andrew Sharpless, President of Oceana
Glyde, Gonzo, and Azul have one thing in common: they’re all flying as flocks of one. Other than his father, Lupé, Glyde has never seen a pure Guadalupe petrel, so when he hears of a similar petrel in danger, he implores his father to join him in a daring rescue attempt. Along the way, Glyde is joined by Gonzo, an endangered ivory-billed woodpecker, Zomis, the last remaining passenger pigeon, and a barred owl who speaks only in Shakespearean English. Meanwhile, after losing his mate and being smuggled out of the shrinking Caatinga, Azul finds himself in the care of a celebrated conservationist. However, not everything is as it seems, and the Spix’s macaw must fight to return to the place he knows best. But with a disappearing habitat and without a mate, can his journey lead him home?
The John Morano Eco-Adventure Series is back with a fourth installment that asks the question: What does it mean to be home in a changing world? As the climate warms and habitats are lost, will the man-flock help the birds before it’s too late, or will these flocks of one become flocks of none?
Features a special introduction by Andrew Sharpless, President of Oceana
My favorite part of the book was definitely Sarah’s companions, all of whom stole the show—it was quite heartwarming to see them forge a strong bond of friendship and loyalty to each other and to Sarah.— Si Ning Yeoh for Readers’ Favorite (4 Stars)
Greystone Valley is a land of wizards, dragons, and warriors—and one young girl who ends up there quite by accident when her idle wish is granted.
Sarah discovers that not everything in the valley is as magic as she might’ve wished—especially the nearly illiterate wizard, the mouse-sized dragon, and the warrior who can’t stand the sight of blood. Being hunted isn’t helping, either. Will Sarah survive this new life of hers, and can she make it home?
And, more importantly, will she ever be the same again?
This bittersweet chronicle about how a working horse finally gains his freedom was inspired by a real animal and true events, yet its underlying theme is about the universal value of friendship.
The hero is a sturdy draft horse: old, eccentric and irritable. His name, suitably enough, is Groucho. By day, he hauls a tourist carriage around the heritage streets of Montreal. By night, he goes home to a stable in a run-down, working-class district. When his owner dies, Groucho feels the loss and is helped through it by the ancient stableman, Doyle, who is also set in his ways. This is the story of how they cope with each other, as well as the threat which endangers their entire way of life.

THE TRUE SAGA OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN, SET AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF HISTORY
Every Friday for the last 25 years of her life, I had lunch with Charlotte and each week she told me more of her extraordinary story. To all appearances, she was a strong and dignified survivor, with old-world courtesies, a twinkling sense of humor, and a lilting Austrian syntax. Yet deep within, she'd been scarred by a profound personal trauma. Finally, just before she died at the age of 91, she chose to entrust me with this profound secret and all at once I understood how it had affected her entire adult life.

“Sometimes it takes a book like Makoona to remind us just what amazing sights are lurking beneath the surface… It brings the ocean and its life to us… reminding us of its value and what needs to be done.”
—Kathryn Fuller, President of World Wildlife Fund
Welcome to the inspiring story of Binti, a female octopus who lives in the Makoona coral reef, and Kemar, a Cambodian boy who fishes the reef.
As a mollusk without a shell, Binti believes she’s missing something… but the reef is a dangerous place to search for anything, let alone the shell that will make her complete and let her communicate with the spirit-fish. But helped by her friends and a psychedelic octopus who speaks in Grateful Dead lyrics, the search is on. Fifteen-year-old Kemar, a boatperson fleeing the Khmer Rouge, fishes the waters around Makoona where he crosses the path of a strange octopus and befriends both a Vietnam vet and an old American mechanic who claims she was once a world-famous aviatrix.
Makoona will make you laugh out loud as it transports you into the world of the coral reef and takes you on an island adventure that never loses sight of environmental concerns, personal fulfillment, friendship, self-awareness, and the tenets of eco-literature that Morano created in his unforgettable first novel, A Wing and a Prayer.
Don’t miss more adventures in Out There, Somewhere (#3) and Flocks of One (#4)!
