Godstone - The Kairos Boxes
by G. A. Williams
It is Christmas in England and Jacob is ecstatic when Rachel agrees to go on a date. Life apparently has reached its zenith. However, this joy proves to be short-lived when Jacob's uncle, a university professor, experiments with two ancient wooden boxes - only to suddenly find himself lost in the past. An ill-fated rescue attempt leaves all three trapped in different, perilous times. Hope comes in the unlikely form of an infamous criminal who is thrust into the time-sojourners' lives. Some mysterious Christian martyrs and the great Isaac Newton also cross their paths as they seek to escape the time-trap. As the story unfolds, the dark ages of martyrdom and Civil War cast more shadows than they shed light, on the origin of the mysterious 'Kairos Boxes'.

The Birthday Present/Millhaven Castle
by Sarah Scheele
The Birthday Present In a remote century ruled by a harsh race of supermen, the past does not exist. Humans are a distant memory and the only supreme rule is to reverence the Emperor. But when three bored military students meet a mysterious girl from a hidden colony of humans, they find themselves pulled into a stunning adventure that sends them on a mission to deliver a strange gift to their deathless ruler-and on the run from the fearsome Hinzetzu. Millhaven Castle If there's one thing Alyce Lomlossa isn't, it's the princess type. She isn't gorgeous for one thing, and she's got some common sense for another--which won't serve her well with Milland's elusive, conceited ruler, Lord Timson. But when Alyce receives a mandatory summons to a court ball, given to every young woman in the country, it's the beginning of an ordinary girl's extraordinary adventures. A 3-chapter teaser for The Prince's Ball.

For five months, Annemarie has struggled to make peace with her past. But if she cannot let go, the personal battles she has won and the heights she has achieved will have all been for naught. It is a time of change at Maple Brook horse farm, when loves must be confronted head-on and fears must be saddled and broken.
