Radium Halos (A novel about the Radium Dial Painters), by Shelley Stout Book Description
Radium Halos is historical fiction based on the true events of the Radium Girls: a group of female factory workers who, in the early 1920s, contracted radiation poisoning from painting luminous watch and clock dials with radium paint. Our narrator is Helen Waterman, a 65-year-old mental patient who worked at the factory when she was 16. She tells us her story through flashbacks, slowly revealing her past, the loved ones she’s lost, and the dangerous secrets she’s kept all these years. "While the subject matter is intense, the tone of the novel is surprisingly light. Thanks is due to Helen who adds humor through her naive and bluntly honest outlook."

When Emily meets Link (another new transplant in town) her world turns upside down. She doesn't understand why she feels a magnetic pull toward him, or why she unknowingly lets her guard down around him. Link is just as confused by his own need to be with her.
Emily knows she is playing with fire. She should be doing whatever she can to keep herself isolated, to keep Link from getting too close. Danger has a way of finding Emily's family - that is what keeps them on the move. They arrive in a new town every few years - it is safer that way.
Because... Emily isn't really Emily... her real name is Charity - and Charity has an even bigger secret. Charity and her family are not like other people, they have "skills" that mere mortals cannot begin to comprehend.
Before long, Charity is struggling with the reality that her two lives are coming closer to each other with each passing day. Soon Link will find himself wrapped in a supernatural world that he never knew existed - and discover that mortals are not the only beings that walk this earth.

The Mages of the Mountains (The Fire), by Patrick HenryBook Description
The known world is Montana and other parts of the Great North. This is not the Montana of the 21st Century or even of the days before Columbus arrived in 1492. Instead, warring kingdoms, primitive tribal factions and strange, spectacular beasts today considered legendary and impossible inhabit this Montana. This Montana and the rest of the northern hemisphere exist in the far future.
High technology as we know it ceased to exist over a thousand years ago when a cataclysmic event known as the “Fire” unleashed itself upon all the lands. Our greatest fears came true and the world we knew died in a global war that witnessed the seas boil, the skies darken and the entire land burn.
The new, healed, but still scarred Montana exists in an age of great barbarity and savagery, but also incredible magic. Isolated pockets of enormous knowledge and historical record survive. However, most people remain ignorant of the past ages and the nations that once existed.
Gods, dragons and wizards inhabit this land. Some are great and worshiped. Others are more solitary and unknown. A few terrible beings are even feared and despised.
This book is the first of a series to explore this strange, but familiar realm, and to discover the secrets and events of the distant past that gave birth to “The Mages of the Mountains.”

The Tourist Trail, by John YunkerBook Description
Some people stop at the water's edge.
Some keep going...
Biologist Angela Haynes is accustomed to dark, lonely nights as one of the few humans at a penguin research station in Patagonia. She has grown used to the cries of penguins before dawn, to meager supplies and housing, to spending most of her days in one of the most remote regions on earth. What she isn’t used to is strange men washing ashore, which happens one day on her watch.
The man won’t tell her his name or where he came from, but Angela, who has a soft spot for strays, tends to him, if for no other reason than to protect her birds and her work. When she later learns why he goes by an alias, why he is a refugee from the law, and why he is a man without a port, she begins to fall in love—and embarks on a journey that takes her deep into Antarctic waters, and even deeper into the emotional territory she thought she’d left behind.
Against the backdrop of the Southern Ocean, The Tourist Trail weaves together the stories of Angela as well as FBI agent Robert Porter, dispatched on a mission that unearths a past he would rather keep buried; and Ethan Downes, a computer tech whose love for a passionate activist draws him into a dangerous mission.
