Psittacide: Book 2 of the Disposable Soma Trilogy

The 2172 election is soon approaching. The incumbent, authoritarian President Silas Blackwolf, has had his vice president arrested in order to prevent her from invoking the 25th amendment and removing him from office. Now with the election coming up, he has to choose a running mate. His conspiring cabinet steers him toward selecting moderate senator and former presidential grandson Jim Liu. Through Byzantine constitutional logic, the only way Jim can defeat Blackwolf is by helping him win the race.
The plan gets more complicated when a deadly plague begins to spread among the nation’s genetically enhanced, super-intelligent parrots. The only cure is a plant that grows on Centos Island, which currently lies in the middle of an international war zone. Jim finds himself increasingly compromised, as he makes one ethical compromise after another in his struggle to protect the country from Blackwolf.

Tarja Titan: A Terrian Chronicles Novel

Avatar: The Last Airbender Meets World of the Gateway
Abused and neglected for nearly a decade, Tarja Titan always longed for a home…
…But she didn’t anticipate the reception she’d receive upon her return to a world she thought only existed in fiction
For starters, everyone in Elemental Society knows her name. Even if she has no recollection as to why. For another, she’s going to a university to hone a rare supernatural ability, or abilities, she’s never heard of.
Everywhere Tarja goes and everyone she speaks to, new secrets emerge. Like the fact she was murdered as a child and somehow here she is, as alive and well as her new classmates.
And this school has more secrets than Tarja could imagine. It has hidden rooms, corridors, and yeah, resident spirits love hanging out here. And they’re not shy about sharing a few stories. Even if her newly-discovered godbrother is.
Calling all fans of E.E. Holmes’ World of the Gateway and Carissa Andrews’ The Windhaven Witches. If you like strong heroines, elemental magic, complex plots, and young adult fiction, or better yet YA+, given the more mature subject matter, you will fall in love with Tarja Titan.
