"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water." ~ Martians, war, annihilation. Extinction. Escape or die. Run or be eliminated. Hide or perish. Takeover of the Earth had begun, but the human race will not go down without a fight. Who will win and who will lose in The War of the Worlds.

The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice. It looked good-natured, she thought: still it had VERY long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt that it ought to be treated with respect. (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) Vivid and memorable, and they are now together in one volume. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are two of Lewis Carroll's brilliant classics.

Hardcover

Alyxandria Hill was eight years old when her world turned upside down.  With both parents gone, she looks to her grandmother and her cousin Ethan to be a constant.  Trusting God's plan, she pushes forward with her life in Silverbrook. Soon, her world is rocked again.  This time she will be thrown into a reality she could never have dreamed of.

An evil of grave proportions has descended upon the world of Aotrum.  An illness, death, threat of war, total destruction.  What could possibly be next as Project Eutopia unfolds?

Book 2 - Expecting Eutopia

Alyxandria Hill has entered a world that is not her own, far from everything she has known.  A forest, secret experiments, an illness that mimics the one that took her friends and loved ones on her own world.  The Resistance needs all the help they can to pull off a rescue and save Fásra from the evil that has descended upon it.

Entangled in a forest of Tranquility, a serpent lies in wait. Paradise isn't what it seems in Eutopia.
