The Quantum Revelations
Stuart Heinrich
Publication date: July 31st 2025
Genres: Adult, Mystery, Science Fiction, Thriller
The world is on the brink of an apocalyptic climate crisis and quickly spiraling out of control into a dystopian nightmare.
As everything collapses around them, two scientists struggle for relevance in their quest to build the world’s first practical quantum computer. They discover so much more: a mystery of physics that goes deeper than they could have ever imagined.
“Heinrich offers an engrossing metaphysical excursion through the quantum realm to discover the meaning of life in this contemplative debut…[His] rich, multilayered backdrop of existential food for thought propel this story to a truly transcendental experience.”
— Publisher’s Weekly
“Science and faith combine in this nuanced and compelling sci-fi eco thriller… [that] cleverly explores and intertwines the well established science vs religion discourse in a way that, I think, does credit to both sides.”
— LoveReading (featured under “Indie Books We Love”)
“The Quantum Revelations is a wildly unpredictable narrative with a show stopping climax, pondering the interplay of science, religion, and technology in a way that is as captivating as it is disturbing.”

Some secrets were never meant to be uncovered
Upheaval
The Divided States Series Book 1
by A.E. Faulkner
Genre: YA Dystopian Fantasy
The Divided States of America, 2121
A hundred years after the Great Infection Spread swept across countries and
continents, barriers rose and borders closed. Nations isolated themselves in
protective siloes as survivors faced starvation, disease and the daunting task
of rebuilding. The United States was carved into three Territories, each ruled
independently.
Today, the three Societal Order leaders ration everything – clothing, food,
energy – because demand drowns supply. To conserve resources, citizens are
declared either day dwellers or night dwellers, essentially limiting their
existence to 12 hours each day.
Where you’re born is where you
stay. Until now.
Everly Scott is preparing to graduate from her final year of schooling when
she’s chosen to serve on an inter-Territory delegation. As one of twelve
delegates, she will help assess and recommend updates to the Alliance
Agreement, which outlines trade and peace relations between the Territories.
Everly embarks on the journey of a lifetime – crossing the Xone walls to learn
about people and places that have always been well out of reach. It’s the
greatest opportunity she’s ever had. And also the most dangerous one.
Secrets lurk within each Territory and
Everly’s about to find out what happens to those who uncover them.
A. E. Faulkner was born and raised in Pennsylvania. When
she’s not lost in a book, she loves spending time with her husband and two
sons, especially while hiking, biking, or exploring nature. She loves almost
everything about nature—ticks excluded, and one of her biggest fears is the
repercussions we will face when nature can no longer tolerate human
destruction. As such, she never tires of reading dystopian-themed tales.
Stories about the end of the world absolutely fascinate her.

If you love European settings,
wine, romance, female friendships, laughter, heartbreak, redemption, and a bit
of spice, these are the books for you!
Will There Be Wine?
by Whitney Cubbison
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Austen Keller was living her dream. She landed a career-defining job
which moved her and her husband to Paris. Swoon! Shortly thereafter, she was
divorced. Thud. This wasn’t the plan. Yet there she was—pushing 40 and starting
over.
A decade after she’d last been
single, Austen enters the dating scene playing by a new set of rules in a
different language, culture, and lingerie standards. She experiences every type
of miserable first date imaginable and lives to tell the tales of Pierre the
Mansplainer, Simon the Snoozer, Emile the Over-Sharer, Guillaume of the Gym
Shorts, and many more. On most dates, she struggles to get past one glass of
Bordeaux without wanting to bolt. Even worse, no one chases after her when she
runs. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that whoever said French men were
romantic deserves a swift kick in the pants.
A rewarding and high-powered
career. Check!
Fabulous female friendships. Nailed it!
True love. Umm?
Austen continues to ask herself:
Is “having it all” too much to ask?
A genuine and tragically hilarious
novel about an ex-pat woman's journey of self-discovery through a string of
disastrous dates, relationships forged in a deep cultural divide, world
travels, and wine. A lot of wine.
A
propulsive exploration of romantic and platonic love, commitment, shared
history, betrayal and personal reckoning.
To
celebrate her fortieth birthday, Ophelia and her husband Gianluca gather an
unlikely group of eight friends and lovers – some old, some new, some false,
some true – for a long weekend in Ibiza. However, the idyllic villa setting may
be the only thing holding together a complicated tangle of friendship, love,
and betrayal.
Among the guests is Ophelia’s old university flame, Matt, and his new
girlfriend, Austen. While Matt finds himself falling in love, Austen is holding
back, carefully protecting her heart.
Ophelia knows she loves her husband, but “love” is a word she never learned to
say, a silence rooted in a childhood tragedy. What she doesn’t know is that
Gianluca has been whispering it to someone else. And when his mistress crashes
the party along with her own boyfriend, she brings a revelation that could
unravel everything.
Across Rome, Paris and Ibiza, the party guests navigate the tangled paths that
bring people together and push them apart, exploring where love begins, where
it falters, and the courage it takes to hold on—or to let go.
Will There Be Love? is the sequel to
Whitney Cubbison’s debut novel, Will There Be
Wine?, however it can be read as a stand-alone.
Whitney Cubbison is a dual
American & French citizen living in Paris since 2009. She grew up in Texas
and California and graduated from UCLA with a degree in French. She started her
career in Communications working for high-tech PR agencies in San Francisco and
eventually joined Microsoft where she worked for sixteen years, thirteen of
which from the Paris office. During that time, she held various international
roles that encompassed public relations, employee communications, executive
speechwriting, and social media.
She earned her French citizenship
in early 2022 and left Microsoft that summer to focus on completing her first
novel, Will There Be Wine?, which came out in January 2023. The story, while
fiction, was deeply inspired by Whitney’s own experiences as an ex-pat divorcée
living in Paris and trying to navigate the cultural minefield of dating in a
foreign country. A sequel called Will There Be Love? will be out on April 29,
2025.
When she’s not writing, Whitney
can be found sitting in Parisian cafés and restaurants with her friends,
drinking wine.
At
Encounters, a lush and hedonistic Caribbean resort, it's
nothing except fun and pleasure during the 'anything goes' weeks, where nudity
rules, threesomes and more rock, and kink in every flavor sates the most carnal
appetite.
Lissa
prefers reading to cutting loose, but is willing to do whatever it takes to get
the juiciest assignments for her job at a major travel magazine. Her chance
finally arrives. She’s set to experience a posh Caribbean resort, a dream
article and review except for one huge problem. It’s the anything goes
theme week where nudity is expected and lusty hook-ups make threesomes look
downright tame. Holy Hell. What has she gotten herself into?
Precisely
what resort owner Jon Thorne thinks. Tall, dark, and luscious, he fears the
randy male guests will eat her alive, resulting in a lousy review. His only
option is to serve as her guide for every decadent delight from nude body
painting to Dom’s Den where submission and punishment rule. Unless she wants to
call the whole thing off…
And
lose her chance with him, plus give up this gig? Dream on. Tempted beyond
anything she’s known, she matches his passion and then some, surprising him
during a sexy adventure like no other.
For
too many months, Shelby’s craved bad boys Ben and Dominic, cousins and
celebrated chefs at the opulent Caribbean resort where she works. Their heated
gazes prove they hunger for her as much as she does for them, but they’ve yet
to make a move on her.
That
won’t do. Yearning for their potent masculinity, killer smiles, and effortless
charm, she sets into motion a decadent plan to be with them … at least for a
little while. Her ideas include nude photos, a locale where anything goes 24/7,
plus BDSM and other kink.
Fun-loving
Dominic’s fully onboard. He’s had his eye on Shelby from the start. Ben has
too, but he’s reluctant to mix business with pleasure. Since a previous work
relationship screwed him big time, he doesn’t want to repeat the experience and
won’t … as long as he keeps this strictly about sex, no strings or
expectations.
Yeah,
right. In an erotic journey that will surprise this threesome, all bets are
off, resistance impossible, surrender assured.
When
it comes to lust and love, sometimes you have to break the rules…
Not
believing in forever after with any guy, Olivia indulges her carnal needs at
the hedonistic resort where she works while pursuing her dream to design
jewelry.
Brothers
Ethan and Gabe have had women chasing them forever, their good looks and their
family’s billions a major draw. Just what they don’t need or want, predatory
females. Stuck at the resort on a project neither care to do, they meet Olivia
who’s everything a woman should be: bright, fun, and totally unimpressed by
their wealth. Hooking up with her during the ‘anything goes’ week—when nudity
rules and every sexual activity is celebrated—proves easy. Resisting anything
deeper is impossible for them and her despite how hard they try.
Because
sometimes you just gotta break the rules.
Especially
during an erotic journey where insatiable desire and an unbreakable bond leads
to a future none could have imagined.

"There is tension and chemistry that
jumps off the pages, not just between potential love interests, but the team as
a whole. This story is a definite attention grabber, so much I couldn't put it
down. It has a gripping and incredible storyline, making you want to read it
again. If I could, I'd give it 5 plus stars. "

definitely was an enforcer on the ice but deep down he was a big softy. And
Phoebe is a girl who can’t stay on her feet literally...Definitely worth the
wait. Can’t wait to read book 4."

Meet Tansy Shackleton.
She's just the witch to finish what her
ancestors started.
Scare Thee Well
Laurel Haven Witches Book 2
by ReGina Welling
Genre: Paranormal Women’s Fiction
Three hundred
years ago, one witch had to live with her mistakes. Today, another might have
to die for them.
Tansy Shackleton has spent her entire life carrying the
guilt of her family's legacy. If not for her ancestor's mistake, good witches
might not be trapped in the coastal town of Laurel Haven, Maine. But no matter
how hard she tries to make amends, she can't stop seeing the stain on her soul.
Not even at the cost of her marriage.
Connor Shackleton has tried everything he can think of to
get his wife to see that she's not to blame for the unwitting actions of a
long-dead witch. At his wit's end and unable to watch Tansy work herself into
the ground for something that wasn't even her fault, he proposes they take a
break for a few days, just to get some perspective.
He should have known Tansy would martyr both their happiness
on the alter of guilt, but he didn't. He wanted her back almost from the minute
he walked away, but she's shut him out of her life as firmly as the door she
closed behind him.
The problem is, life and death in Laurel Haven go hand in
hand for witches of the blood, and just like Tansy, Connor's one of them. The
only way to move forward is to turn and face the past head-on. Together with
her new coven, Tansy will have to put all of Laurel Haven's ghosts to rest or
die trying.
Three hundred
years ago, four witches went into the forest to cast a spell of protection
against the evil creeping into their town but they were too late.
Today, Rue Channing never sees it
coming, and she should because seeing is her special power. Still, who would
have expected to be kidnapped and hauled off to a small coastal town in Maine?
But that is exactly what happened. Now, Rue, a lover of order and strict
routines, is dragged out of her comfort zone and into a new life in the small,
coastal town of Laurel Haven.
Things could not be worse, she thinks, until she meets the man next door and
decides they could. Ry McFadden is the most infuriating man on the planet. He’s
a study in contrasts; grumpy yet generous, intensely private, but somehow open.
Rue can’t think what to do with him, except she can, and that just makes things
worse.
The problem is, Ry McFadden just might be part of Rue’s destiny as she learns
she’s been brought to Laurel Haven to finish what her ancestors started.
ReGina Welling prefers not to talk about herself in the
third person so...
I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named
Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed
media artwork when I get the chance.
When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when
she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized
I'd learned to read. Since then I couldn't even estimate the number of books
I've read. It's a lot!
I love talking to other readers so please visit me in any
one of these various places and don't forget to let me know you stopped by!
