Angel's Feather

#1 The Divine Army

By Olga Hoekstra

The afterlife isn't all it's cracked up to be, according to seventeen-year-old Lilith Adams. She hates it in the Guardhouse and she definitely doesn't want anything to do with the ongoing war against Lucifer's disciples. A war that, according to Lilith, has absolutely nothing to do with her. To top it all off, there's Gabriel, the archangel who seems determined to make her afterlife a living hell.

So when Lilith is offered the opportunity to go back to the moment right before she died, she doesn't hesitate for a second. Then she realizes her actions have devastating consequences, not only for her, but also for Gabriel.

Angel's feather is a novella about destiny and love when you least expect or want it, with a devilish twist at the end. Angel's feather is the first part of the Divine Army series.

The Island
#1 The Island Series
By Jen Minkman

'I walk toward the sea. The endless surface of the water extends to the horizon, whichever way I look.
Our world is small. We are on our own, and we only have ourselves to depend on. We rely on the Force deep within us, as taught to us by our forefathers.
If I were to walk westward from here, I would come across a barrier - the Wall. Behind it, there are Fools. At least, that's what everyone says. I have never seen one.'

Leia lives on the Island, a world in which children leave their parents to take care of themselves when they are ten years old. Across this Island runs a wall that no one has ever crossed. The Fools living behind it are not amenable to reason - they believe in illusions. That's what The Book says, the only thing left to the Eastern Islanders by their ancestors.
But when a strange man washes ashore and Leia meets a Fool face to face, her life will never be the same. Is what she and her friends believe about the Island really true?

Or is everyone in their world, in fact, a Fool?

The Waves

#2 The Island Series

By Jen Minkman

The first memory I have of my grandfather is of a moment that we share together. I'm sitting on his knee looking out over the harbor. Grandpa is smoking a pipe. He points at the horizon.

"Look, Walt. Our ships are out there. And one day, another even more beautiful ship will appear at the horizon. A mighty ship to take us all away. And Annabelle will be at the front deck with open arms, inviting us all to join her on board."

"Why don't we sail to her ourselves?" I inquire wide-eyed.

"Because she promised she would come," granddad replies. "And in that promise we trust. It's only the Unbelievers who think they can do everything themselves. They have no faith in the Goddess."

Walt lives in Hope Harbor, an island community that has put its trust in salvation from across the sea. The townspeople wait patiently, build their ships to sail out and welcome the Goddess, and piously visit the temple every week. Horror stories to scare their children are told about the Unbelievers on the other side of Tresco.

But not all is what it seems. Walt has questions that no one can answer, and when his best friend and cousin Yorrick is killed in an accident, he digs deeper to find out the truth about the origins of Hope Harbor's society... and the secrets of the temple.

Return to the world of The Island and discover what Walt's life was like before and after he met Leia!
