    Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force … and a dash of the American Revolution. “I like a little rebellion now and then…The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.” — Thomas Jefferson Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.

    John MoranoETWG Book Cover Award [2nd Place, Literary Fiction, Web]

    “Morano does something few writers do. He provides us with a unique perspective – that of the exploited animal. In doing so, he demonstrates just how profound and pervasive humans’ effect on the ocean is.” Roger Rufe, President of The Ocean Conservancy

    Lupé might be the very last Guadalupe petrel alive, and he knows the best way to save his flock is to find the Islands of Life and a mate. The problem is the well-meaning man-flock that’s decided to keep him safe… in a cage. But Lupé has hatched an escape plan all his own! Told in a 'Disneyesque' style, A Wing and a Prayer will have you smiling and laughing as you're introduced to wonderful characters but also important themes, especially the environment.

    George Wright Padgett

    Addleton Heights is a steampunk novel for everyone (even those who don't know what steampunk is!). It's witty, fun, exciting and inventive, and is packed with characters you really care about. George Wright Padgett hits all the right notes!

    Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author of Ghostwalkers and Patient Zero

    New Year's Eve 1901: Six hundred feet above the Atlantic Ocean, the platform city of Addleton Heights balances on massive, soot-covered metal stilts. A grisly double murder interrupts the party in the floating mansion of the city's most powerful man, and for reasons unknown, he coerces detective-for-hire T.H. Kipsey into taking the enigmatic case. George Wright Padgett weaves a cat-and-mouse mystery through a steampunk, alternate-American history that will thrill readers of Cherie Priest's Boneshaker and Christopher Beats's steam-noir Magnocracy series. Join Kip as he races against time to unravel the clues that will thrust him across the city, up to the clouds, and into the depths beneath Addleton Heights.
    • Great for even new readers to the steampunk genre

    Tense, authentic, compelling – a tumultuous 24 hours in Beijing, as witnessed by those involved.

    Each year, howling winds from the Gobi send desert grit swirling into Beijing which then mixes with the existing pollution, causing fluorescent yellow skies and toxic, throat-burning smog. On one such day in March, youthful activists decide to gather in Tiananmen Square right outside the Great Hall of the People where the National Congress is in session. They are understandably fearful of what can happen to protesters in China but none could have predicted the unthinkable scenario and far-reaching climax which takes place during that single 24 hour period.

    • Based on true experience: During his many years in Beijing, the author experienced every aspect of that vast city, including the climatic conditions described.

    John Morano

    “…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?

    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.

    If humanity is to survive, the alien T’Kharr must be stopped… even if it means sacrificing tens of thousands.

    Grand Commander Brandon North and his fleet must liberate a research facility taken by mankind’s most ruthless and deadly enemy, the T’Kharr.

    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)!
