“Darby Karchut has written a fast-paced, diverse, heart-felt, and slightly creepy middle great, I mean grade, novel. Matt Del Toro and his family are descendants of skinner-slicing Spanish knights. Their duty and passion is to is to protect the citizens of Southwest Colorado from the zombie-like creatures in the Maze. While the dynamics between the father and his two sons are not always picture perfect, they are real and honest and represent the true realities of parent/child/sibling relationships. The warrior horses add to the fantasy element while bringing humor to the narrative and more love/mentorship to Matt and family. El Cid, Turk, Izzy, and the rest of the Andalusian war horses protect their riders while in battle. At the same time the riders vow to put their horses' needs before their own and love them as family. Matt's coming of age experiences throughout the novel include loss, grief, friendship, and also a first crush. As a middle school librarian, I highly recommend this book to both elementary and middle school readers. There is a little something for everyone contained within these action-packed pages." —LovelyLibrarian

Hey, Seattle, JACK BE QUICK is here! Somebody’s reading life is about to get a whole lot more exciting! 💉📚

“Jack Be Quick is a gem among small-press published thrillers. It's the story of a paramedic who works overnight shifts in Connecticut. After suffering an injury that left him reliant on opioids, our main character, Noah, finds his life sliding downhill. His personal demons force the woman he loves away. His addict fuels his personal demons until both his personal safety and career are on the line. Then, he finds himself dragged into a mystery puppeteered by a copy-cat murderer intent on recreating the killings of Jack the Ripper.
From page one, I felt immediately immersed in Noah's word. The dialogue was quick and realistic. The characters were distinctive, but not overly saturated in unimportant detail. Having a crime novel interlaced with characters from the medical profession was a new genre to me, and I loved it. The medical lingo was especially thorough—It always felt genuine and surrounded by enough context that I always understood what was going on among the bustle of EMTs and nurses.” — Tori-Lynn Bell, Amazon reviewer

Penelope, a student reporter, struggles to find her identity after a childhood of tragedy. Desperate to prove herself to her peers, she chases a story tip on a secret organization of teen urban explorers called “The Broken.” The group demands she complete a test before they let her write the story. While following the clues of their twisted scavenger hunt, she encounters Lex, a paranormal investigator with a knack for hacking, and together they work to uncover the organization’s darkest secrets.
.
As they tag along on some of the group’s urban exploration missions, including an abandoned farmhouse, a vacant mall, and a haunted truck stop, they became entangled in the group’s inner fighting and their leader’s plans that turn out to be much more nefarious…and deadly…than they’d believed. Realizing her mistakes too late, Penelope will have to fight for her own life and the lives of her friends as she learns what it means to be one of the broken. .
