About the Author

Author J.M. Phillippe

J.M. Phillippe has lived in the deserts of Santa Clarita, the rainy suburbs of Seattle, and the sprawling maze of Los Angeles and spent her youth working as a freelance journalist and public relations professional. Then she did the most LA thing she could think of – she moved to New York City for graduate school. She completed her Master’s in Social Work and became a therapist, starting her own private practice. J.M. now lives in beautiful Tacoma, Washington—the City of Destiny—where she writes fantasy and science fiction novels and short stories. When she’s not writing or in session, she can be found playing fetch with her cat, drinking cider with amazing friends, and sinking way too many hours into RPGs.

Perfect Likeness

Yesterday, quick-witted Ally Smart saved the US government from a crippling computer virus. Today, she’s a glamorous jewel thief flirting her way across Europe. Tomorrow she might scale the Alps or stop an alien invasion—at least, in her fantasies. In real life, 24-year-old, size-16 Ally juggles an overachieving best friend, a too-cool little sister, and her own brutal self-criticism. She dreams of perfection: a flawless body, razor-sharp comebacks, and swoon-worthy romance. But when her “perfect” alter ego, Allison-with-an-i, crawls out of the mirror and into the real world, Ally’s life starts to unravel. To save her friends—and herself—Ally must confront the seductive lie of perfection and learn to be enough as she is.

Aurora One (Sleeping Beauty) – J.M. Phillippe

Chavri Aisling should have died on her naming day. Instead, after being poisoned during an assassination attempt, she lives her life hiding behind masks, veils, and force-fields, never able to share the same air as anyone else. But the princess of Moarga Province is determined not to let her illness stop her from finding the one thing her planet desperately needs—metal that can be used to make more space ships so that her people can find the other lost colonies of Earth. Her search takes her into an unexplored corner of her solar system where a terrifying discovery leaves her frozen. Resuscitated by the least-likely “prince” over three generations later, Chavri has one chance to save what’s left of Moarga from invasion, and the love of her life from a fate worse than death

When Stars Take Flight (Thumbelina) – Bethany Maines

Kidnapped by the To’Andans, tortured by the Moliter, and rescued by Sparrow Pandion—the spy who hides a secret pain—Lina must battle for her freedom, her survival and her heart. Her training says that she can’t trust her handsome rescuer, but her telepathic gift says there is no one she can trust more. Maybe together, she and Sparrow can learn to fly.
