Mona is poised to delete Earth. Can human’s capacity for love persuade her otherwise? Mo(ther) Na(ture) is a YA GameLit coming-of-age story that explores sisterly bonds and the human capacity for love. Fans of Sophie Kinsella and Rainbow Rowell will love this heartwarming story about sisterhood, love, and what it means to be human.

When two sisters quarrel, humanity is on the brink of extinction. Mona, the logical scientist and creator of Earth, has been caught trying to destroy humankind yet again. Her sister Penny, the passionate and impulsive creator behind humans, challenges her to live in a human’s shoes and experience their emotions before she carries out her plans to delete the human race forever.

For eons, mankind has exploited the Earth, heedless of the consequences of their actions. Fueled by a desperate need to safeguard her creation, and with a bit of glitter, Mona uploads into her first human meat sack – a teenage girl – and quickly learns what it’s like to feel loathing, desire, and friendship. But as she delves deeper into human history and their cruelty towards each other and Earth, she decides they’re not worth saving. Overwhelmed by emotions, Mona is torn between wiping the entirety of Earth with the push of a button and fulfilling her bargain with Penny.

Her mission is to understand the profound depth of human emotions and discover whether humanity possesses the capacity to heal the wounds they have inflicted upon the world. Can she learn to be human, even with all their faults?

Praise for Ma(ther) Na(ture):
“Mo(ther) Na(ture) is a shining young adult journey that skillfully weaves fury and redemption into an unforgettable narrative. From the wrath of Mother Nature herself, enraged by humanity’s disregard for the planet, to Penny’s cunning plan to salvage our species, the story hooks you from the start. The transformation of Mother Nature into the mortal Mona blurs the lines between mysticism and reality, leading us through Mona’s exploration of human relationships—capturing both life’s beauty and its fragility.

“What sets Mo(ther) Na(ture) apart is its compelling pacing and evocative writing. As Mona delves into human emotions and connections, the novel prompts us to reflect on our role in healing the Earth and nurturing our bonds. This book is a timely reminder of our responsibility to both the planet and each other, delivering an inspiring message wrapped in an enthralling tale.” –Jackson Anhalt, author of From the 911 Files

“A clever and creative concept, lovingly executed, Mo(ther) Na(ture) is a book that, at its heart, is a love letter not just to the human race, but to the ties that bind us to each other and make existence worth sticking around for. Anyone with siblings will find the characters infinitely relatable. Another stellar book from a writer with a talent for tapping into the struggles we all face while making them fresh and new.” –Robin Jeffery, author of The Cadence Turning Mysteries

“Mo(ther) Na(ture) is an imaginative introduction to environmental issues. Levi helps shift our thinking to how we treat each other, the planet, and ourselves. It is a story of love—sisterly love, young romance, and passion for nature in our big, beautiful world. I was captivated from start to finish.” –PJ Beaven, author of ZooFit Safari

From A Youth A Fountain Did Flow by Miranda Levi

“Pursued by demons, a teenage girl must confront darkness and a terrible destiny in Levi’s YA fantasy novel. In Washington State,17-year-old Scarlet Singer is haunted by nightmarish shadows and a feeling of wrongness. Her bad dreams come true when her home is invaded by a monster in the guise of a man. Her mother sacrifices herself to give her daughter time to escape, and a teenage telepath named Marcus Castillo is drawn to Scarlet, sensing her distress. His grandmother, a witch named Kara, accompanies him and slaughters the demonic killer with magic, and Scarlet’s perception of reality is forever changed (“I know magic isn’t real, and demons are like fairytales designed to scare children. Except, I am now swayed to the argument that demons are real, and magic seems to exist despite my reservations”). Packed with demons, humans reduced to “meat suits,” blood-letting and blood-drinking, witches, telepathy, time-shifting,
and supernatural realms reachable through magic portals, the novel is never dull. The abundance of fantasy and horror tropes could have been overkill, but the author weaves them into a neat twist on the concepts of the fountain of youth and reincarnation. The catalyst is the 19th-century journal of a young woman named Kelby, which causes Scarlet, sheltered by a powerful Witches Council, to begin to wonder who—and what—she is, leaving her with a secret she can’t share, hunted by demons and ostensible friends alike. Throughout, Scarlet’s closeness to Witches Council members Marcus and the handsome Zig complicates things. Scarlet cares for besotted Marcus but resents his protectiveness and ability to read her thoughts. She is attracted to Zig but put off by his and Marcus’ jealous competitiveness over her… The author effectively keeps the plot moving forward by shifting narratives between Scarlet, Marcus, Zig, Kelby’s journal, an enigmatic witch named Azeltha, Scarlet’s demonic nemesis, Dagon, and a few minor but essential characters. The shocker of a cliffhanger at the end signals a sequel to come. An imaginative fantasy-horror tale anchored by a relatable teen hero, engaging despite a surfeit of adolescent angst.” Kirkus Reviews

“A fast-paced, intriguing, richly written puzzle box of a book. Every twist and turn left me breathless. That first paragraph grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go.” –Aaron Michael Ritchey, award-winning author of The Sages of the Underpass and The Cunning Man series.

“This is a captivating tale about witches and demons and a battle as old as time. It is a story of love, loss, and being captured by purpose. The main character is likable and brave, and her growth as she discovers the truth about her past and her power over the future makes a story well worth reading. I highly recommend Mrs. Levi’s ‘From a Youth a Fountain Did Flow’” –Cheree Alsop, author of the Werewolf Academy series

Thrust into a timeless battle between an ancient network of witches and the demon underbelly who will stop at nothing to possess her regenerating body, Scarlet Singer must decide what is worth fighting for in this life. Love, fate, and a greater destiny are all at stake.

When Scarlet stumbles upon a poem written in a journal for her more than a hundred-and-fifty years earlier, she must face her greatest fears and accept the possibility that she is the fountain of youth personified.

Only a Telepath named Marcus and a Void named Zig stand between Scarlet and the battle over her future. Who can she trust when both sides have enough reason to end her? If any of them knew the truth, her life would be forfeit.

A Tear In Time by Miranda Levi

After a brush with death at the tender age of nine, Faer Michelson has a near-perfect autobiographical memory. He has a good life, a loving wife, and he’s only mildly concerned about Y2K. Sure, no one else remembers Bobby Kennedy was president or that time an alien took over the TV to declare war, but what’s that in the grand scheme of things? 

Then one day Faer remembers something that he can’t shrug off: his own death in 1968.

It turns out the Time Warp isn’t just a song in Rocky Horror. Faer finds himself stranded in the past with a shape-shifting alien and an apparition of his best friend. An unearthly decree is made before Faer can sort out how to get home: Save yourself, then save the world.

Praise for A TEAR IN TIME

“This book is exuberant with its gleeful use of time travel, lizard monsters, interdimensional galactic politics, and visitors from the future. A cheerful, ghostly sidekick cracking-wise. Telekinetic powers. The story, in the end, is an examination of family memories. Highly recommend.” -Peter Gorman, Gorman-on-Gore Horror Movie Podcast

“A Tear In Time is an engaging tale with entertaining characters, Killian being my favorite. The story draws the reader in from the beginning in 1970 when an event happens to Faer, shaping the rest of the story. I would recommend this book to lovers of sci-fi, particularly those drawn to time travel.” -Hazel Mattice, author of The Dark Days

“It is a complete journey filled with friendships, spaceships, heartache, heart warmth, shocks so big I stopped reading with my mouth wide open, actual fits of laughter, and accurate history, both real and alternate akin to the best scenes from Forest Gump! I would compare the style of this book to those of Mary Kowal! I loved this story so much… I do not remember the last time a book made me feel the way this one did. I miss the characters so much that I can not wait to read it again!” – Teddy Martin, audiobook narrator and voice actor.
