Nirvana (Celestial Plague #1)
The world as we know it is over and all it takes to survive is your humanity.
The SARJ virus is an epidemic that is quickly overtaking an already broken world. Dividing it between the Bitten and Unbitten and forever changing the course of human history. When Shannon becomes infected with the virus her entire life changes forever.
For Shannon to make it to Nirvana she’ll have to spread the virus. But can she live with the consequences of those actions? The urge to spread the virus is almost overpowering but infecting others comes at high cost; not just to her humanity but the innate powers she was born with. With every bite she loses a little of her power and a little bit of herself as well. To stem the tide of Bitten rampaging through their cities the Unbitten release robots on them. Cold, calculating killing machines that don’t understand the term mercy are now exterminating people like Shannon.
Will she be able to survive the onslaught, protect her friends, and hold onto her humanity all at the same time?
From EG Moore has a new book out.
Moon Daughter Rising
Annalee’s dad went missing and no one is doing anything about it.
The police say he abandoned her, but Annalee knows better. Her aunt and uncle make her promise not to look for him, especially in the woods behind their family cabin for fear she’ll go missing, too. When she finds her father’s trail, she breaks a promise and tells a lie, hoping she can save him. Doing so attracts Winpa the abominable ice witch, who chases Annalee into their tribe’s spirit world. Though she doesn’t know it yet, Annalee holds the third Wonderstone, the only possession her father left behind. The crescent-shaped talisman could give Winpa control over World Above the Sky and the ability to open the ancient ways to the Earth.
Annalee must seek help from an ancient grandmother and her spirit guides to grapple with her newfound ancestry and rescue her father and a grandfather she’s never known from their icy prison. Her journey will require courage, honesty, and mastering the power of the Moon Daughter rising within.
A beautiful weaving of fiction, MiqMaq tribe legends, and a subtle reminder of the importance of honesty.

It’s been at least a week since I shared a Catticus photo, so I know you were bereft. Someone was curled up on the blanket by my feet earlier this week.
