Callasandra: Fractured

What if you awoke to find yourself in an entirely different world where your very existence threatened not only your life but the lives of everyone around you – what would you be willing to do to survive?

In Callasandra: Fractured, the story is about a sixteen-year-old girl named Cassi who, when disaster hits and a dark family secret is revealed, must come to terms with the terrible realization that nothing is as it seems. A dangerous secret and enemies everywhere, Cassi becomes Callasandra and must find the strength and courage to fight for her life and the ones she loves.

In Callasandra: Fractured, the unique action and thrill of the story are intertwined with the beauty of music. Throughout the book, music is used to convey hidden messages as well as to provide cover for characters sharing dark secrets and critical information.

Stephanie Douglas worked with musicians from all over the world to artfully create this immersive, one-of-a-kind cinematic reading experience.

Going Gone

What is a single life worth? In our modern world, where wars are on the cusp of igniting at a moment’s notice, new diseases ravage entire populations, and hidden atrocities erase the lives of thousands, what can the death of a single person mean?

It can mean the tenuous line between peace and destruction.

Kurt Ramis knows this, as he watches the aftermath of an assassination on his television set. His years in the CIA have prepared him for such a dreadful day.

“Rasul” knows this, as he follows his young guide down the streets of New York City, with a gift for his adopted country.

The soldiers and sentries of Camelot’s Corridor, deep under the sands of Texas know this, as they prepare the secret bunker for the President’s arrival.

Mike Keogh knows this, as he remembers fallen friends, betrayals, and mention of a secretive monster named the Tangerine Demon.

Jessie Rosen will know it soon enough, as she descends the steps to Kubrá, to meet her deliverer. Her new family descends those steps as well, calling for their Lord to hear their prayers.

Phil Barr begrudgingly knows this, as he cowers in his palatial Hollywood Hills mansion, murderers and thugs auditioning on live TV, sirens ringing in his ears. This wasn’t how his charmed life was supposed to turn out.

And DaRWIn knows this best of all, as it predicted the assassination, and the calamitous after-effects some time ago.

On a certain day, on a certain street in the Middle East, the taking of a single life will mean everything, and it will shake the foundation of humanity. It will be the pulling of a loose strand in mankind’s tapestry, undoing the progress of a thousand years, ripping apart at the seams countless lives, countless societies.

Intertwining lives and stories, some saved and some ended, some Going, some Gone

Kinyas ve Kayra

Hiç uykum yok. Hiç uyuyamıyorum. Domuz gibi içiyorum. Ama gözlerimi kapalı bile tutamıyorum. Sabaha beş saat var. Annemi düşünüyorum. Nerededir şimdi? Aynada kendime bakıyorum bazen. Ve tek kelime etmesem bile vücudum yaşadıklarımı, hayattan ne anladığımı anlatmaya yetiyor.

Sağ omzuma kendi çizdiğim kelebek, beğenmediğim için üzerine attığım çarpı işareti ve altında aynı kelebeğin bir Japon tarafından çok daha iyi işlenmişi. Sol dirseğimin iki parmak yukarısındaki kurşun yarası. Bileklerimdeki otuz dört dikiş. Medeniyeti bir aralar, herkes gibi yaladığımı kanıtlayan apandisit ameliyatımın izi. Ve sırtımı kaplayan, Tanrı'nın yüzü. Bilmiyorum... Hızlı yaşadım. Ama genç ölmekten çok, hızlı yaşadım! Ancak hayattayım.

Kayra, bir gün bana 'Mutsuzluğuna hiçbir çare aramıyorsun' demişti.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.

It can.

She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed.

There is.

She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.

She's wrong.
