In 2087, a message from deep space warns Earth a harbinger of doom is hurtling towards our planet. It also outlines a plan to save us, but at what cost? Is it a hoax, or a trap, or will we indeed soon face extinctionβ€”unless we agree to the β€˜Alliance’s terms? #BookSky #SFF amazon.com/dp/B0F82Y9S7X

The only thing standing between earth & apocalypse is a teenage girl in black lipstick and Doc Martens.

It's always touching to get any review, but when it comes from an award-winning writer, them self, it's somehow a little extra icing on your cupcake.

The Soil is Calling There’s something in the swamp outside Harlsboro, Georg…

Book review! THE SOIL IS CALLING is a powerhouse debut novel by C.P. Bearden. This folk horror story hooked me early, both with an engaging plot & eerie scene-setting. But the main character, Becca, is what made me love this book. @conquestpublishing.bsky.social
