With the ruthless agents growing ever closer to realizing their goals, Dr. Turner and company must find a way to protect the creatures without destroying their careers and, for that matter, their very lives. Paperback Amazon Book Depository Ebook Kindle What Readers Are Saying “Becoming Human by Kenneth L. Decroo is a frightening tale of science unguided by ethics, and the devastation that can be wrought by government agencies that operate without benefit of effective oversight. Step-by-ominous-step, the author takes you from the relatively benign environs of Reno, Nevada to the dark menace of the Congolese jungles, to the even more dangerous environs … [Read more...]

Coming soon: Becoming Human – a thriller
When Kenneth L. Decroo came to me with Almost Human, he told me he had 2 more books in the series to come. I was so impressed with Almost Human that I agreed to publish the whole series, but saying something like that is always a risk - the next book could have been terrible! I figured, however, that I could work with him to make sure that we came up with something that would meet AIAP's standards, but when he presented me with the second book, Becoming Human, I realised that I needn't have worried because this book is even better than the first. Kenneth has grown as a story teller and as a writer, and I hope I'll be able to publish many more books for him in the coming years. But what about Becoming Human? What can I say? It's a great story, an excellent sequel that leaves you wondering where the series will go next. The themes delved into in book one are developed further and it all moves at a pace that is not too breathless, but never lags. I highly recommend this series, … [Read more...]
Coming Soon: The Awakening of Russell Henderson – Contemporary Visionary fiction
When the author Ed Lehner submitted this book to AIA Publishing for consideration, I was delighted and snapped it up immediately. It's a wonderful story and beautifully executed. Lehner manages to make a character that some might consider a bigoted red-neck into an innocent. Russell is the way he is simply because he's never examined the beliefs his parents instilled in him. The road trip he undertakes in a rare moment of spontaneity is more than a journey to see some of the beautfil American countryside, it is a journey into himself that has profound ramifications for himself, the woman he meets on the way and his whole family. This is an uplifting story, skilfully told so that you never want to lay the book down. Description When Chicago investment-banker Russell Henderson—newly divorced and suffering from depression—makes a spur-of-the-moment decision to go on a camping trip to explore the Western United States, he steps outside his usual safe mode of operation and … [Read more...]
Coming Soon: A Thread So Fine – historical literary fiction
I'm delighted to announce that AIA Publishing will soon be publishing this wonderful work of historical fiction. The book is a sensitive examination of life in the post World War Two era, centred around two sisters: one who blazes a trail for women in academia and the other confined to more traditional women's roles due to tuberculosis. I found it fascinating to read how this disease was treated prior to the development of the drugs that virtually wiped it out, and heart-breaking to be reminded of society's view of unwed mothers back then, even if the cause was rape. I highly recommend this read to anyone who enjoys historical fiction of the second half of the 20th Century, women's fiction or literary fiction. Description No love is as safe as that of an inseparable sister; no hurt as deep as when she leaves without a trace. St. Paul, MN, 1946: As little girls, the Malone sisters relied on each other for companionship and affection as their mother remained … [Read more...]
New Release: A Town Like Ours by Alexander Cade – satire
Michael Milosovic, builder, amateur architect, developer, landowner and mayor of the Australian town Coddington St George (pop. 5,499) wants to be elected to the shire council and hence to the Queensland State Planning Committee.

Coming soon: Australian Satire
AIA Publishing is pleased to announce that we will soon be publishing A Town Like Ours by Alexander Cade. Humour is a personal thing - what some find funny others don't - but I found myself chuckling away at this satire of a small town with big ambitions. If you have any experience of small town politics or the film industry, you'll be chuckling too. I know nothing about politics, but I do know the film industry, hence my chuckles. It's all too recognisable and believable, and manages to be humorous without being silly. In fact, beneath the humour is, as with all good satire, a pointed social commentary. So keep your eye out for this one. Click here to join our mailing list to be notified of its release. What's it about?
