Book excerpt: For many, the mind is one’s own. For a few, however, the inner self is a fragmentary and hellish nightmare of darkness, madness, and despair. Join us in a journey of pain, loss, and fragmentation. Join us in the darkness of the divided spirit. The strong survive indeed, but at what cost? When survival means becoming the Incarnation of Darkness and Death Magic, what then is the nature of survival? The one has become many, and the singular voice is dead, replaced by the chaotic, dissonant dirge. Is there some power that can possibly turn the screams in the darkness into a chorus of voices? The whole is destroyed, and what remains is a Shattered Crystal.

Book excerpt: "What a pretty flower to keep locked in a big, rocky tower." Nineteen years ago, I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else. Small. Fragile. An enigma. Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too little, I lead a simple life, never straying from the confines of an imaginary line I've drawn around the castle grounds. Stay within. Never leave. Out there, the monsters lurk. Inside, I'm safe...though at a cost far greater than the blood I drip into a goblet daily. Toxic, unreciprocated love for a man who's utterly unavailable. My savior. My protector. My almost executioner. I can't help but be enamored with the arcane man who holds the power to pull my roots from the ground. When voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the fabric of my tailored existence, the petals of reality will peel back to reveal an ugly truth. But in a castle puddled with secrets, none are greater than the one I've kept from myself. No tower is tall enough to protect me from the horror that tore my life to shreds. To Bleed a Crystal Bloom is a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He married the girl of his dreams...and stepped headfirst into a nightmare. Tim and Crystal are blissfully happy together, until Shane moves into their quiet little trailer park. The outlaw biker is mysterious, a little dangerous, and ruggedly handsome. Crystal is instantly captivated by his sexy body and no-holds-barred lifestyle. Shane is happy to help fulfill their sexual fantasies...and then introduce Crystal to the steamy world of stripping, Meth addiction, and drug trafficking. She's the perfect drug mule...gorgeous, naive, seductively innocent. No one will ever suspect her of a thing...until it all comes crashing down around her ears! Excerpt "I met your mule today," Jingles admitted, then raised both hands when Shane looked at him sharply. "I just said hi, buddy. That's it." "Good. I need her...for now." Cautiously Jingles scanned the room, then turned back. "Look here, man. You got your mules, and you got the hook in 'em. That method works, and I use it, too...but eventually they ain't gonna be reliable enough to make deliveries. Too much risk to both our organizations. Know what I'm saying?" He knew exactly what Jingles was getting at. "I expect them to quit at some point." "Yeah, but they're still a risk to your club. I mean, what happens if one of them gets clean, or finds religion, or gets busted? You and your club could find yourselves in court or, worse, in another jail cell. "I got a better solution. Sell them to me." Jingles' expression was serious. "I'll take them off your hands, and I guarantee they'll never be a threat to your organization in the future." "Is that right?" Despite the fact that he knew the black man was trustworthy, Shane couldn't help sneering just a little. "For argument's sake, say I'm interested. How could you guarantee they wouldn't be a risk? You gonna babysit them?" "In a way," Jingles conceded very quietly. "Listen, I have another side of my business where these girls could be put to good use. It's extremely profitable, and I'll take care of any disposals." Silently Shane considered his offer. It would definitely solve his biggest problem, because Jingles was right-sooner or later the girls would be too hooked on Meth to be useful, and they'd become a security risk. Meth always took over. No exceptions. And since the club wanted to avoid simply murdering them, they were a loose end he hadn't figured out how to tie off yet. This would be both painless and profitable. "How much?" Jingles hid his satisfaction behind a casual smile. "Well, let's take the mule I met this afternoon. If you were interested in selling her today, I'd go as high as $50k, cash on delivery. Man, she just looks like a walking, talking good time. "The girls I buy from you will either work for me, or I'll sell them to buyers overseas. In most cases, they'll start by working with higher-end clients...but eventually we'll move them to the street. They won't stay in one place for long, for a variety of reasons, and we'll manage their drug use as much as possible. "Sooner or later," he admitted, glancing at Shane, "they reach a point where their expenses outweigh their income. When that happens, we sell them to organizations in other countries, and those girls never return. It's one of our stipulations. Less profit that way," he added, cautiously glancing around again, "but I still make money, and the girls still disappear. "Once in a while, a girl like Crystal comes along, and my overseas clients will buy her immediately. It doesn't happen very often," he conceded, leaning back on the bench. "But when it does, the chick brings a really high price." Shane softly whistled. "And once they're out of the country?" Jingles' eyes hardened. "You don't want to know," he said firmly. White slavery. Brutal and ugly, but efficient...and a good option for the club, Shane thought dispassionately. Eliminating the mules' security risk was more important than the money, and he knew Lobo would approve"

Book excerpt: The country of Novem is in a dire state of affairs. Still recovering from a great war in which they were the aggressor, an economic depression has swept the continent and leaves Novem in the throes of poverty. The republic struggles to hold back a revolution, but strong socialist sentiments threaten Novem's stability, and many seek to return Novem to its former glory as a powerful totalitarian empire. Novem runs on crystals mined from the ground, but many consider them to be more than just a power source. The Church of Novem worships a 'Great Crystal', which is thought to be a liaison between the gods and humanity. Those who can alter crystals at will, known as crystal-speakers, are an important part of that link between the earth and the divine. For finishing school students Jacoby, Timori, Racquela and Crystara, concerns about revolutions and the church are overshadowed by school, dances, sports and summer vacations. But when the Great Crystal selects its arranged marriages that year, a chain of events is set into motion that threatens to upset the entire nation. Betrothal promises are made with rings of crystal, but if they shatter, hearts are not the only things that will break...

Book excerpt: Shattered Crystal Book One of the Crystal Fae Written by M.T. Syler Growing up, Melancholy Brown faced a series of hardships that tested her resolve. However, her dreams offered her an escape, as she found solace in a magical world filled with Fae. In this world, she watches the adventures of Kleptis Klein, a skilled assassin employed by the Thieves Guild in Jelaria, and his sister Mystic. Despite facing difficulties in the real world, Melancholy finds herself feeling more at home in this dream world and longs to stay there permanently. Although she acknowledges that the world she escapes to might just be a figment of her imagination, she doesn't mind. To her, it's a much-needed escape from reality. All my life I've always tried to roll with the punches, learning to keep myself calm when everything around me was going to shit. I'd learned a long time ago that fighting back against your fate only made things worse. Sometimes you just had to take what life gave you and make shitty lemonade out of it. Even if the lemons it gave you were moldy and full of worms. Jelaria is my escape, a world that I visit only in my dreams. It feels more real to me than my actual reality, and I long to stay there permanently. The fact that it may not be real does not matter to me, for it could just as easily be a fantasy created by a lonely child. All I know is that I want to stay there forever.

Book excerpt: A Son’s Addiction. A Mother’s Heartbreak. A Family’s Crisis. As the wife of a prominent city attorney and the mother of two teenage children on the brink of adulthood, Glennis Harmon lives the kind of successful, high-profile life that many people envy. But when nineteen-year-old Jacob is drawn into substance abuse, Glennis’ “perfect” world shatters like a crystal vase rocked from its once-steady shelf. Glennis struggles to understand the response of her family as they seek to support Jacob’s recovery. Her husband appears more concerned with protecting his image than with finding help for their troubled son, but Glennis becomes determined to save Jacob no matter what the cost. Stepping into a rescuer role, she unintentionally puts her relationship with her older daughter, Sarah, and her already strained marriage on the line–and a revelation about her husband will push her to the brink of what she can bear. How far should a mother go to save her child? A compelling, compassionate, and ultimately hopeful novel about the impact of substance abuse and addiction, Crystal Lies is an intimate portrayal of one mother’s attempt to simultaneously love, trust, and let go.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the series Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Layered Structures is to give a critical survey of our present knowledge on a large family of materials which can be described as solids containing molecules which in two dimensions extend to infinity and which are loosely stacked on top of each other to form three dimensional crystals. Of course, the physics and chemistry of these crystals are specific chapters in ordinary solid state science, and many a scientist hunting for new phenomena has in the past been disappointed to find that materials with layered structures are not entirely exotic. Their electron and phonon states are not two dimensional, and the high hopes held by some for spectacular dimensionality effects in superconductivity were shattered. Nevertheless, the structural features and their physical and chemical consequences singularize layered structures sufficiently to make them a fascinating subject of research. This is all the more true since they are met in insulators and semiconductors as well as in normal and superconducting metals. Although for the time being the series is intentionally limited to cover inorganic materials only, the many known organic layered structures may well be the subject of future volumes. Among the noteworthy peculiarities of layered structures, we mention specific growth mechanisms and crystal habits. Polytypism is very common and it is fasci nating indeed to find up to 240 different polytypes in the same chemical substance.

Kerovan of Ulmsdale has long borne the curse of his ancestors’ depredations. After pillaging a sanctum of the Old Ones, his bloodline has been forever marred by painful sickness and death. Kerovan was born strong and hardy, but he walks on hooves instead of human feet and sees through eyes of amber—just as the Old Ones had. Bound in marriage to the beautiful Joisan of Ithkrypt, Kerovan seeks to claim his rightful place as Lord-heir of Ulmsdale. But first, the couple—separated by distance, yet linked in spirit—must unlock the powers held within a mystical necklace Joisan wears. The small crystal gryphon bears secrets that will bring them to the farthest reaches of the wilderness on a quest to save their people and their world from doom.
