Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A science-fantasy adventure series! With their spaceship destroyed, the remaining two survivors of a failed colonization mission jettison down to a planet with the hope they can survive. Duncan, a bookish linguist, and Alexis, a beautiful gladiator in the prime of her career, suddenly find themselves drawn into the struggles between two warring kingdoms. Their fortunes improve when Alexis’ combat skills are discovered, and she is challenged by the nation’s berserker who underestimates his opponent and pays dearly for it. Yet no sooner is she awarded his position, title, and wealth when she is called upon to lead the nation’s warriors in the first full scale battle she has ever experienced, against an enemy who take no prisoners. With the very real possibility that Alexis might not survive the battle, Duncan is left alone to fend for himself. Calling himself a Wizard of the Universe, he is brought before the Council of Prelates to explain his obvious heresy. Deftly answering their questions, he throws caution to the wind and challenges the nation’s High Priest to a contest of divine favor. The one who calls down thunder and lightning from the sky is the chosen one of God and becomes the nation’s High Priest. The loser dies. This is a revamping of a former series titled Wolf 359. The Misfit series is geared to a wider audience and age groups.

Yet her position as the sole ruler and Queen of Gambria is far from secure and her paranoia grows with each day. Rhosyn, her most trusted confidant, the woman who knows all of Pavia’s dark secrets, has gone missing, and Duncan, the main threat to her reign, has refused to disband the Templars, making him the most powerful Lord in the Kingdom. And now the Rugian army is maneuvering through Grimnost Forest, hoping to catch Gambria unaware. Deciding to solve two problems at once, Pavia orders Duncan to stop the Rugian invasion, hoping he will fail and get killed in the process. Either way, should he return from battle, he will find that his commanderie has been given to another, Lord Cedrych, who believes Duncan was indirectly responsible him losing his commanderie to Menec and has plotted his revenge ever since. As it stands now, the future of Gambria is in Grimnost Forest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not quite dead as some had hoped, King Diad sits once again on the throne. Discovering his wife married to another, he quite happily divorces her and exiles her from the capital. However, King Diad is not the same as he once was and soon, he is king in name only, for the new Lord Chamberlain has deftly assumed the power behind the throne. Yet the kingdom is in turmoil, for Lord Dade’s rebellion is pushing the kingdom to civil war. Quickly assembling an army, the Lord Chamberlain sends his forces south with the intent of crushing the insurgency, while permanently removing Dade as a threat. Though willing to help restore order to the kingdom, Duncan vividly remembers the last time Diad was King and hurriedly builds an elite army of Templars, loyal only to him. With his power base expanding, and with Guina no longer Queen, will Duncan be content as Lord and High Priest? While the kingdom is plunged into turmoil, Alexis has found sanctuary with the mountain folk who call themselves Cinoc Mar. She immediately begins training their warriors in the deadly martial arts only to learn too late their ambition is to rule all of Gambria, and the fact that she is expected to fight against those whom she once called friends. Will she be able to fight Brenna when she confronts her on the battlefield? And oh by the way, the army of Rugia is gathering to attack.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing Diad finally dead, Guina is free to marry the man she truly loves and makes him Lord Chamberlain in the process. But Konrud quickly discovers that being the Queen’s husband matters little, and all the plotting and intrigue he experienced back in the Temple was mere child’s play compared to the scheming, assassinations, and double-dealing at the Court. At the top of the list is Pavia. Though she is under house arrest with Alric, that she was once Queen of Gambria, no matter how brief the days, only deepens her resentment and passion to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers. Next is Dade who has claimed the right to rule Glanon because he is the oldest son, though his father made his younger brother Bradach his heir… a mere technicality that Dade will soon correct. Amidst the turmoil, Guina sends Duncan to talk some sense into Alexis who is still in Drunedun with the nation’s tarracs. The meeting ought to be a surprise as Alexis believes Duncan is dead. And has Raefgot, former wastrel and king’s illegitimate son, finally found true love?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Diad shipwrecked on a deserted island and Alric on the run somewhere in the north, Bradwr solidifies his claim to the throne. That means eliminating all threats. The first to go is Guina. Though no longer a viable threat, she can’t remain in Mull and the former queen is forced to live on the handouts of friends far away from the capital. The second to go is Alric. Though he is now Bradwr’s son-in-law, Alric has more claim to the throne and despite the promise to Pavia of his safe return, Bradwr orders that his son-in-law have an unfortunate accident – a permanent one. Amidst the turmoil, Alexis manages to transgress Gambrian custom and finds herself at odds with the new King. Unwilling to obey, she escapes to the south, taking the nation’s Tarrac with her. But Bradwr has a blind spot and overlooked another’s ambition, someone who desperately wants to rule Gambria – alone. And she might just pull it off. All she’ll need to do is get rid of her husband and her father… Yet the one person they have dismissed as dead, the Ghost in the desert, is about to give them the surprise of their lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Caitrin learns the terrible secret of her past, she flees to Duncan with the hope he will understand, only to be frustrated when Brenna barges in unannounced. It is when she reveals her secret that they understand the full implication and what it means for the kingdom. In the south, Alexis learns that while she may be Cinoc Mar’s berserker, they don’t trust her. With Deryn off learning to be a Mage, Alexis realizes she has no friends in Cinoc Mar, that all the people she truly cares for are back in Mull. It’s when she discovers Cobhan’s battle plans for an attack on Gambria that she knows she must make a choice – either take up arms and fight against her battle-sisters in Gambria or escape from Cinoc Mar and take up arms against the very warriors she’s been training, the same warriors who have given her their faith and confidence. To the west, Gambria is now on high alert as Rugia has begun probing Gambria’s borders, searching for weaknesses in their defenses. The king must be told at once! Unfortunately, the king is no longer capable of leading the kingdom, and the commanderie lords know that Diad must be forced to step down. They must quickly choose another before it is too late. And therein lies the problem, for Alric is the heir apparent, but that means Pavia will be Queen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the promise of divorcing Pavia, the Council of Lords elects Alric as King of Gambria. But promises are often broken, and Pavia finally realizes her life’s ambition – she is now Queen of Gambria. Convincing Alric that Duncan is a threat, she demands Duncan disband the Templars. When Duncan refuses, she enlists other commanderie Lords to punish him. While her forces assemble to deal with Duncan, Pavia turns her attention to Alexis, for she has not forgotten the public embarrassment the Berserker gave her as well as the theft of the Kingdom’s tarrac. With Alexis up in Aberhond under Duncan’s protection, the problem may soon be resolved as the King and Queen set about eliminating every possible threat to their rule. Yet Duncan is not without friends and immediately lines up forces to counter Pavia’s quest to marginalize him. Though the Twelve do not take sides in the internal affairs of the kingdom, Duncan can count on the support of Brenna and Alexis, as well as Slaven and the Templars. Unfortunately, while everyone’s attention is diverted to the machinations of regnal power, Rugia finally makes good on its threat and is preparing to launch an attack through the forbidden forest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavia finally met her match when Guina returned at the head of a combined army and reclaimed the throne. With Bradwr dead, her son and daughter-in-law under house arrest, and Duncan returned as High Priest, Guina can now restore order to the kingdom. All she needs is a new Lord Chamberlain, loyal commanderie lords, and perhaps a new husband who actually loves her. At least that’s the plan. Unfortunately, affairs in the south aren’t looking so good. Alexis is still in Drunedun with all the kingdom’s tarrac looking to establish her own mini-kingdom, while Prince Dade of Glanon has decided his father has lived long enough and needs to step aside – dead or alive... preferably dead. And then there are the mountain tribes of Cinoc Mar who are plotting to wrest part of Gambria away from the kingdom. Then there’s that one little problem of a former king who just won’t die. Oh, by the way, not everyone is thrilled to have Duncan back as High Priest. Already plans are in motion to permanently eliminate him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be careful when you get what you ask for… Especially when others believe they deserve the prize more than you. And some will do everything necessary to get what they want, even murder. Duncan’s confidence has failed to account for a paranoid High Priest, a jealous King unhappy with the way the people have taken to this stranger, and a certain ambitious Priest who wants nothing better than to get rid of the High Priest and Duncan at the same time. Unfortunately, Vix, Gambria’s High Priest, has a more immediate problem. He must eliminate Duncan before the contest reveals Vix is a fraud. It’s time to call in assassins and eliminate this obnoxious threat. And where is Alexis when you need her? Unhappy with a woman as Berserker, especially one who is untested in battle and still learning the language, King Diad tells his Battle Commander to place her on a weak flank against the Rugian army. Hopefully, they can take care of the problem and Gambria can find a new Berserker. Then there’s Bradwr, King Diad’s brother, who believes Diad is no longer worthy of being king and has determined that the title is now within his reach. This is a revamping of a former series titled Wolf 359. The Misfit series is geared to a wider audience and age groups.

Book excerpt: An Urban Fantasy Romance novel A telepath with a lethal twist. My name is Neely and I live among shapeshifters in the desert truckstop town of Sundance, California. As a wolf shifter, I'm not much of a threat. But as a telepath-spiker, I'm deadly. For six months, life has been peaceful. Business at my panaderia is holding steady, alpha leader Lucas Blacke and I are in a devoted relationship, and the kidnapping attempts have slowed to a crawl. I'm finally part of something bigger than myself-the Blacke shifter group. I haven't exactly come to terms with my wolf shifter side, but I'm getting there. When a dangerous group from my past makes an unexpected appearance in Sundance, I know my hard-won peace is coming to an end. The malicious shifter faction I fought against in Texas has spent the last few months planning a rebellion. They're gearing up for war with paranormals and humans alike, and they're bringing the first battle to Sundance. It's kill or be killed, and we're not going down without a fight. For readers who enjoy urban fantasy with a side order of romance, fast-paced action, and a dash of humor.

The same ugly McMansion still sits behind a security wall, but there are new features: a gaudy slate roof, a 70s-style conversation pit, and nearly two dozen statues posted along the wall like sentinels. It makes no sense; Billy Buchanan's father was broke. Where had these fierce looking, valuable sculptures come from? Forced to spend the week at 22 Dutch Road, Billy begins believing these samurai-styled carvings can talk to him by day, and worse, move at night-his father might not be so dead after all.

Book excerpt: “Miret’s captivating and harrowing, no-holds-barred account of a life lived in the trenches . . . You don’t have to be a major Agnostic Front fan to get maximum enjoyment out of this book. . . . A compelling read.” ―Classic Rock Revisited "Miret’s memorable, affecting stories capture an important time in the hardcore music scene. . . . Equal parts music memoir and gritty coming-of-age story, it’s an eminently readable and fast-paced look at life during hardcore’s heyday. . . . Not just for music fans, My Riot is a valuable snapshot of an important time." ―Foreword Reviews “My Riot is a powerful and riveting read. A brutal look into the life of a man that did what he had to do to survive.” ―Scott Ian, Anthrax Born in Cuba, Roger Miret fled with his family to the US to escape the Castro regime. Through vivid language and graphic details, he recounts growing up in a strange new land with a tyrannical stepfather and the roles that poverty and violence played in shaping the grit that became critical to his survival. In his teen years, he finds himself squatting in abandoned buildings with unforgettably eccentric runaways and victims of similar childhood trauma. With like-minded misfits he helps pioneer a new musical genre, but with money scarce and commercial success impossible, he turns to running drugs to support his family and winds up in prison. It’s the ultimate test of his toughness and perseverance that eventually sets him on a path towards redemption. My Riot is both an unflinching portrait of downtown New York in the 1980s and a testament to the perils of growing up too fast. “It's a great read, tracing the roots of New York Hardcore via lots of crazy stories about potentially deadly situations. . . . Pick up this book and take a walk back in time through the Lower East Side when it was still a hair-raising adventure.” ―D. Randall Blythe, Lamb of God

This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the intersection of disability and genre in popular works of horror, crime, science fiction, fantasy, and romance published since the late 1960s, Disability, Literature, Genre is a major contribution to both cultural disability studies and genre fiction studies. Drawing on recent work on affect and emotion, the book explores how disability makes us feel, and how those feelings shape interpersonal and fictional encounters. Written in a clear and accessible style, Disability, Literature, Genre offers a timely reflection on the rapidly growing body of scholarship on disability representation, as well as an innovative new theorisation of genre. By reconceptualising genre reading as an affective process, Ria Cheyne establishes genre fiction as a key site of investigation for disability studies. She argues that genre fiction's unique combination of affectivity and reflexivity makes it ideally suited to the production of reflexive representations of disability: representations which encourage the reader to reflect upon what they understand about disability, and potentially to rethink it. Examining the affective--and effective--power of disability representations in a wide range of popular genre fiction, this book will be essential reading for academics in disability studies, literary studies, popular culture studies, and the medical humanities.
