Selina Rosen

ICU Psychosis Something is very badly wrong in the Hospital ICU where Donna's father is supposedly convalescing. Nurses disappear and never return, necessary treatments are delayed without cause, and she can't get a straight answer out of anyone... except the dead guy who keeps talking to her post-op crazy father.

Murder in the Back Yard Well maybe not the back yard exactly, but damn close. The streets of Maggie and Vivian's Home Town are running red with the blood of the victims of the city's first real serial killer. Since their appearance on the runaway hit season of CHICKEN OUT, they've made lots of money, had many different offers, and have been solving a lot of crimes. Unfortunately this psycho is just beyond Vivian's extra sensory powers, and Maggie's incomparable forensic skills seem to be no match for this methodical mad man. Of course if they could ever stop worrying about their personal problems long enough to get their heads in the game they might just have a shot at stopping a killing spree.

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK... If you are a Trump supporter or a Fundamentalist Christian, don't buy this book then read it and get mad. This book isn't for you. The title alone ought to be enough to tell you that you will be offended. This book is for everyone else. It's for everyone whose life already sucked when 45 stole the highest office in the land and started to do unspeakable things to the country we love. Trump took our hope, stuck it in a paper sack, lit it then dropped it on our doorstep and rang the bell. Working class Baby Boomers are between a rock and a hard place. Stuck between taking care of elderly parents, dealing with drug addicted kids, and raising their grandkids. We are dealing with problems no other generation has had to deal with and then we got Trumped. Brenda has had a rough life. Nothing is going her way, and she is just juggling way too many problems at once. Like many people, the election and the results have left her feeling hopeless. Is the apparition she keeps seeing and talking to just an indication of how crazy she has become under the stress of her life or is it really there to help her? If so... why doesn't it just do it and go away

"A rarity of rarities: a book that makes you laugh out loud. Selina Rosen's debut is very much worth reading. SF"s answer to Terry Pratchett."--C. J. Cherryh"Queen is funny and pointed. Ms. Rosen takes a Star-Trek-like plot, introducing the social ills of a world that could be our own, and attacks them with ruthless humor."--Jody Lynn Nye"Should appeal to anyone who loves a riotous, wickedly funny read."--Jane Fancher'"A rip-snorting space adventure the likes of which we don't see often enough these days "--Lawrence Watt-Evans

This book is] For everyone who ever felt they don't matter and no one cares. You are wrong You do matter and there is always someone who cares. Mostly I dedicate this book to my friends, Mark Shepherd, Vivian Williams and Saul Tweedle who just didn't understand that. Their deaths left holes in so many lives. There is never a good reason to kill yourself, so just don't do it.

What makes a leader? The idea of following her mother as Queen of the Kartik is so distasteful to Jestia that upon learning that her brother has died leaving her the Heir Apparent, she grabs her lover, jumps on a Katabull fishing vessel, and heads for the Kartik-held territories. Of course, the Katabull believe that only one who doesn't want to rule will make a good leader, which makes Jestia just about perfect. Sympathizing with the young witch, Tarius the Black helps her to escape her responsibility to the Crown, but when a plot against the kingdom takes what Tarius loves most in the world, she must get Jestia back to the Kartik or all will be lost.

An old prophecy warns of disaster. But in what form? Persius, King of the Jethrik keeps having confusing, prophetic dreams that even the wizard Hellibolt can't interpret, but it's clear Persius is being pulled towards the Kartik. Tarius and Jena are given the one thing they thought they'd never have, but will it bring them great blessing or will it be a curse? Jestia has grown in power and knowledge, but both have come at a price. The fate of the very island lies in her hands, but to do what must be done she will have to risk more than just her own life. When those who have always lived by the sword must combat an enemy without a face, will they have the skills to save the day or will all perish from the wrath of the Nameless One? And once they have been nowhere will they be able to return to the lives they know or be forever torn from all that they love?

Over and Over and Over againTerry North had once been on the Hollywood A-listplaying a crime-fighting superhero on one of the highest rated shows on television. But the show was cancelled, and for years she has spent most of her time watching old videos of Dark Avenger. In the videos, time has frozen. She's young, she'svital, she's super human. Reality bites, though, and her friend's advice to "stop living in the past" is easier said than done since Terry's present mostly sucks on ice. But Terry's life takes a radical turn when an old friend from the past offers her an opportunity to live out her dream - and a remarkable new costume." In Reruns Selina Rosen introduces us to a world where one woman and her convictions, along with a bit of help from some friends, do make a difference. We've all wanted to be, or even pretended to be, a superhero sometime in our life. Terry was lucky enough to play one on television, Dark Avenger, for seven seasons. Years after the series was cancelled someone approached her to actually become what she portrayed on TV and Vigilance was born... Selina has a certain natural gift of taking the reader and immersing theminto a novel so that the reality of the novel mixes seamlessly with the reality of the reader's life and they become one. In Reruns we find out what it is like to be a true superhero in a world that'slosing faith, without ever having to actually risk our own necks " -Stephen Pagel, co-editor of the multiple award-winning anthology series; Bending the Landscape

It's the End of the World... AgainThat's right grab yer BBQ sauce, hunker down, and enjoy the latest in the Bubbas of the Apocalypse universe. Let's face it, when good ole boys and gals are left to their own vices... er I mean devices to fight the Yumbie horde in the time after the Great Yuppie 25 Plague, certain niceties, rulesof conduct, and laws are going to be tossed aside. Folks will bathe and brush their teeth when and if they feel like it. No one's going to care if someone's sleeping with their cousin, and your stupid friend Ned is going to own the keys to the world." I just finished the last page of THE FOUR BUBBAS OF THE APOCALYPSE, and my jaw is now permanently dropped. Camaraderie and flatulence, halitosis and high adventure, hilarity and horror, bad taste and good writing, all combine to make this world ofdystopian trailer parks and the folks who inhabit them a strangely hard place to leave. Why, next to these people, those other four apocalyptic guys seem positively Biblical. Oh. Wait a minute... " -John Wooley, author of AWASH IN THE BLOOD"The concept eludes me." - Glenn Cook, author of the BLACK COMPANY novels

Conner, "The Hammer," McVee has a score to settle and enough spare parts in her body to build a small car. Tarent Powers destroyed her life, but even her enhanced abilities and her job as a police agent couldn't get her close enough to the corporate mob boss to bring him down. Now the key to his unravelling has fallen into her lap. Can she do what's necessary to make him pay even if it means destroying the life of an innocent young woman? Come along for a ride in this future that corporate take-overs, plague and automation have made. A world where everything from crime, to central government, to the police are run by the corporations, and where a "mad" cult has sprung up whose members want to remake the world using hand tools and good, hard work." Conner McVee has a problem. She's a throwback in a sterile world almost totally reliant on machines, and she's a cop with ties to the underworld seeking revenge against the man who killed her lover. But when she sets a plot for revenge in motion, it turns into something far more than she ever bargained for. With the copsand criminals both after her, she's got to fight back to protect herself, her new lover, and her way of life. That's okay, she thinks fast, acts faster, and wields a modified nail gun. Maybe it's not a problem after all. Action, attitude, sex, politics, and more attitude... Rosen has another winner " - Rob Gates, free-lance writer & editor of "Spectrum""Selina Rosen writes an action adventure with a heroine who is as hard as nails and just as sharp. I guarantee, you won't want to put this one down." - Laura J. Underwood, author of Ard Magisterand The Black Hunter"Nobody creates tougher than nails heroines better than Selina Rosen. She's outdone even herself with Conner "The Hammer" McVee, a cyborg who is half-human, half-machine, and all woman. Hammer Town is high-octane science fiction overflowing with adventure, humor, romance and blue-collar sensibilities. Persons not enjoying this book must be diagnosed as entertainment impaired." - Garrett Peck, co-editor of Personal Demons and Tooth & Claw

Vigilante JusticeSpider Webb and her partner Tommy Chan are police detectives on the edge of serious burnout. They've spent too much of their lives and too much energy collaring perps just to watch them slip through gaping holes in the system. So when a vigilante, dubbed "The Fry Guy" by the news media, starts to systematically kill the scum of the city by somehow microwaving their brains, they don't think of him as a "serial killer," they see him as an implement of justice. As far as they're concerned, "The Fry Guy" is doing their job for them and in a way that they never could - a permanent way." Strange Robby is a sharp, satisfying page-turner, a thrilling ride like a cross between N. Y. P. D. BLUE and THE X-FILES. Be smart: Buy your ticket -now-." -Esther M. Friesner"Selina Rosen's 'just like' nothing else. She's a creative soul, a builder in wood and stone and words. Out of this absolute wealth of experience come truly outrageous ideas and a way of looking at the universe with attitude with a capital 'A'. She's one in a million " -C. J. Cherryh"She's a great gal and a damn good storyteller." -Michael Sheard
