Spies. Starships. Service dogs.

We cover the important S’s. Thrillers that don’t let go, science fiction that doesn’t talk down to you, and stories for kids who love dogs almost as much as the dogs love them.

Jack Heape

Thrillers, sci-fi & service dogs

Julian Marks

Mystery fiction

Raised in North Carolina on front-porch conversations and strong coffee. He writes character-driven mysteries with sharp dialogue, unexpected turns, and a deep appreciation for the people who notice what others miss.

Susan Scaccia

Theatre & young performers

A New York native with a Master’s in Theatre Education who co-founded an award-winning youth theatre. She believes every young performer deserves to feel they belong center stage.

You were going to waste the next few hours on something. Might as well make it a really good book.

Pick one up, find a comfortable chair, and don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Well, not all the important S’s. Sorry, no vampires.
