The books we have published

Our first novel, from March 2023:

Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex (Fellowship of the Timeless, #1) is a 2023 middle-grade speculative science-fiction novel set in a Milky Way galaxy that is filled with intelligent extraterrestrial life. It has strong and smart girls in lead roles, who like science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). (It has strong and smart male characters too!) The heroine, 11-year-old Emily Jayne Hutchings, and her cousin Sarah Spiller, need help from their friends Lazar, Samuel and Cindy, to escape evil time travelling aliens (the Thubans) and find the one extraterrestrial species that can help them. Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex is written by 🇨🇦 author J.A. Secker and is the first book in the Fellowship of the Timeless series. #girlsinSTEM #loveMath

“Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex is about children, friendship and adventure. It’s about dogs, and the special connection that can exist between people and the canines they love. It’s about neurodivergent kids, those children who don’t fit in with the ‘normal’ kids at school, and it’s about diversity. It’s about a love for and connection with math, astronomy, space and the universe, and a longing to know more and to find life elsewhere.”
J.A. Secker

Two children look up into the nighttime sky, and one points to a large spiral galaxy with a single very bright star. — Image showing the front cover, back cover and spine of the paperback version of Emily Jayne and the Kairos Codex.

Our second novel, coming December 2026:

Emily Jayne and the Symbolic Species (Fellowship of the Timeless, #2) is a speculative science-fiction novel about two 14-year-old girls from Earth who are caught up in an interstellar war between the Thubans (unbelievably mean, noxious, and evil-to-the-core aliens) and the Saiph (innocent, mysterious, time travelling aliens). In this novel, Emily Jayne (EmJ) and Sarah, together with Rex and their friends, must use every ounce of courage and amp of brain power to once again fight the Thubans, all while they try to understand the mystery of the Thuban’s evil minions, the Three Clawed Beasts, and locate the mysterious Saiph. Emily Jayne and the Symbolic Species is set in a Milky Way galaxy that is filled with intelligent extraterrestrial life. It has strong and smart teenage girls in lead roles, who live and love STEM. Emily Jayne and the Symbolic Species was written by J.A. Secker 🇨🇦 and is the second book in the Fellowship of the Timeless series. It will be available in late summer 2026. #boysinSTEM #girlsinSTEM #loveMath

Our third publication, coming December 2026:

Angel Flight is the debut novel by Canadian author Jeff Lange. In this military thriller, Canadian Defence Scientist Dr. Brandon Montgomery, an expert in electronic warfare and CF-18 fighter jets, is posted to Sicily to support Operation Mobile. This book is similar to Tom Clancy’s “Hunt for Red October,” in that a civilian is thrust into the middle of a military operation.

Our fourth publication, coming December 2026:

Earth, space, light is a new collection of poetry and poetry-inspired short fiction by 🇨🇦 author Randy Rush. More information to follow in early 2026. #nature #math #space #astronomy #dogsnamedApril

Our bookstore

Our online bookstore (see our Shop page) sells (1) the books published by Seven Stars Over Publishing Ltd. (see above), and (2) a curated set of used and rare books. We know it can be difficult to find a First Edition hardcover by our favourite science fiction author in the used book stores near us, and we suspect you may have the same difficulty. Having our catalog of books in a digital format and available through our online bookstore makes it possible for book collectors across Canada and around the world to search our inventory. Each used book is accompanied by a description of the condition of the book, using terms defined by AB Bookman’s Weekly in 1949, along with additional notes describing the state of the book. For the rare books (more than 50 years old) we provide photographs of the book, dust jacket, and flyleaf/inner pages.

Why shop at our online bookstore? We’re Canadian 🇨🇦 and independent; we publish Canadian 🇨🇦 authors; and (as a very small business) our books (both new and used) are tax free! With our ⭐ loyalty program, you will receive one star for every $10 you spend at our bookstore, and you can redeem seven stars for $10 off your subsequent purchase. ⭐ We think this is a stellar loyalty program, and it’s free!

Our used books are priced $3-$6 for mass market paperbacks, $5-$9 for trade paperbacks, and $7-$13 for hardcovers. We typically add $5 for First Edition or $10 for First Printing and Rare books. We use stock images of book covers (from ISBNdb) on our website, but we ensure that the correct version/edition of the book is displayed. We will provide photographs of any of the books upon request.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the used books on our Shop page. We can provide additional information on and photographs of our rare books.

Note that we have a local pickup (free) and local delivery ($10.00) options for those people who live in (or will be visiting) the Ottawa area. We also accept e-transfers. Please contact us using the email address below for these options.
