 At All Costs A Short Story by Heather Kuehl Genre: Sci-fi Fantasy Release: December 2011 Editor: Joelle Walker Line editor: Greta Gunselman Cover Designer: Delilah K. Stephans Words: 3379 Pages: 19 ISBN: 978-1-927361-57-3 Price: $0.99 Back Cover: Samantha is a technopath. In a post-apocalyptic world where all technology has declared war on humanity, she has the unparalleled ability to obliterate the tech-monsters, one threat at a time. But it comes with a costly price tag… Rodney Connelly discovered Sam and works to protect her from those who would abuse her powers. After all, she’d saved his life… General Lieberman, self-proclaimed leader of the small unit of combat soldiers, has observed what the technopath can do and believes Sam can create as well as destroy. And he’s determined to exact the maximum—no matter the cost. There is one problem. The level of power Sam must use to create the monster may cost her life. Will she make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world?Excerpt: The sound of gunfire woke Samantha from the most peaceful of dreams. She had been at the shores of the lake she visited as a child, soaking up the sun’s rays. Families cooked hamburgers and hotdogs on their grills; the smell made Sam's eager stomach grumble even in her dreams. Birds sang in the background as the sound of children's laughter reached her. The wind breezed through the trees, and for the first time in years, Sam felt at peace. Samantha shoved her boots on as the dream quickly faded. Tears pricked her eyes as she tried to remember how the sun felt and what birds sounded like. It was another lifetime, she thought, as she left the safety of her Kevlar tent. They were attacking again. It was what they always did. They wanted Earth to themselves, needed the earth's natural resources to survive, and the human race was just the infestation standing in their way. The entire world had been taken by surprise ten years ago, when every technological device turned against them. There was no final showdown, like in those ridiculous movies that the last president of the United States starred in. It was a steady takeover until the day they showed themselves. And by then it was too late. |

OUR READERS REVIEWS:
Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars
"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
