    In the 1800s thirteen-year-old Logan Chambers watched as twelve men tortured and killed his parents on their farm. He’s shipped off to live with his uncle’s family, where he secretly swears to avenge his parents’ death.

    The day after he turns eighteen, he alters his name to Changes and returns to fulfill that oath. After arriving in town, he’s befriended by Abraham Mitchell. He invites Logan home for dinner, and soon he’s working for Abe.

    Over the next few years Logan kills most of the men one by one. During this time he falls in love and marries the rancher’s oldest daughter, Susan.

    For a while life is good, but then Forrest Hastings, the man who killed Logan’s parents, finds out what Logan has done and makes his own plan for revenge. He lures Logan away from home and sends two men to torture and gut his wife. Logan discovers the plot and rushes home to find her dying. In the battle that ensues, both Abe and Logan are shot and injured. While he’s recovering, Logan falls for his dead wife’s sister. Does she fall for him, too?

    There’s only one last man on his list, and he must travel to Texas to find him. When they meet, only one man survives. Who will it be?

    Nineteen-year-old Kyle sees visions of disasters, visions that tear his world apart. Everyone assumes he is schizophrenic, but Rob, the cop who picks him up off the street, knows better.

Yet he can't deny his attraction to the beautiful, tortured young man…an attraction which appears to be mutual.

  • Waking Up To Being: A Fairy Tale

    CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY

    A DROLL ADULT FAIRY TALE ABOUT SELF-DISCOVERY AND MORE

    Waking Up to Being is a fairy tale about self-discovery and getting to the core of our being. It is a dream-like story that combines magical realism with folklore, mysticism, mythology, Eastern spirituality, humor, and childish naivete.

    A life-changing event has brought Yana back to the archaic primordial essence of her being. This mental retreat has dulled Yana’s former understanding of the world, and now she has to relearn everything from the very beginning. The world appears to her as simultaneously familiar (Yana’s feminine grown-up nature) yet also fresh, bizarre, ironic, and often completely illogical (Yana’s new child-like, back-to-the-core nature). The path of her rediscovery follows an evolution-like logic. It starts at the plant kingdom, goes through the animal kingdom, then to the world of the “half-humans,” the world of the humans, and ends in the world of the gods. While passing through these worlds and adapting to their oddness, Yana experiences a range of peculiar occurrences such as entering and exiting time, realizing the inner and outer poisons, identifying the Purpose and finding the Path. On this journey of rediscovering the world Yana will also meet the person who will ultimately lead her to the deepest part of herself and help her grasp the most sacred truth about her existence.

  • The Cardiff Giant Affair

    CLICK LINK FOR YOUR OWN COPY


    AN HISTORICAL MYSTERY BY CLARENCE BUDINGTON KELLAND


    The Cardiff Giant Affair is set in 1869 Syracuse and features a happy mélange of medicine shows, con games, "brawling canawlers", high society, and murder, with two highly spirited women and incidental glimpses of P. T. Barnum. All this is interwoven with the splendid true story of the Cardiff Giant hoax. The two plots, fictional and real, illuminate each other and the author's thesis that "folks jest naturally crave to be gulled."


    First came the discovery of a petrified, life-like giant, complete with skin pores and reproductive anatomy, buried on a farm in nearby Cardiff, New York. Lossie, always fascinated by the new and out-of-the-ordinary, persuaded Orrin to drive her there in his family carriage the very day the giant was uncovered.


    The second event was the arrival of Orrin and Lossie’s new neighbor, the mysterious and glamorous Madam Cissy Janeway, who moved in directly across the street. Almost at once, they began to notice strange comings and goings around Madam Janeway’s house at night. As for Madam Janeway, she quickly became the subject of gossip around town. She seemed to have admission to the highest levels of society, yet it was whispered she was a “protégée” of multimillionaire Wall St. financier Daniel Drew. She lived the life of a woman of utmost refinement and unlimited means, yet to Orrin and Lossie’s consternation her butler looked and talked like a stevedore and treated her like his servant.


    Third was the murdered man whose body Orrin discovered in the family stable by their carriage. The man had been strangled by someone very strong, and no one in Syracuse would admit to ever having seen him before. As the discoverer of the body, Orrin became the chief suspect and he and Lossie knew they would have to get to the bottom of it all to clear his name.


    Orrin knew there was a meaningful connection between all three events - but what was it?

    IT’S NO PICNIC WHEN YOUR MOTHER IS MAYOR … AND A DOMME

    Domina Brookes was never going to have a normal life. Given a dominant’s title for her legal name by a man-hating domme (who happens to be both the mayor and mommy dearest), fate just seemed to be against her. All her life she’s been groomed as heir apparent, but Domina has always rejected her mother’s world. First, she tried to ignore it and then, when she couldn’t turn away, she tried to hide. Locking herself up tight in the house her mother gave her, Domina hasn’t stepped outside in years. That, of course, doesn’t sit well with Domina’s mother. With an election year looming and storm clouds on the horizon, Mayor Brookes can no longer tolerate an agoraphobic anti-kink daughter who could potentially turn into a PR nightmare. So, she’s made it her mission to drag Domina out of her shell, kicking and screaming if necessary.

    As her mother comes crashing down on Domina’s safe, secluded life, all hope seems lost until a light appears in the form of Tyler, the only fan of Domina’s one outlet, her blog. A romantic, empathetic stranger whose courage grows as her mother’s pressure mounts, he quickly becomes Domina’s knight in blue jeans. Domina’s defenses slowly lower as this charming young man provides a respite from her mother’s storm, but danger lurks around every corner. Can Domina let Tyler into her refuge without her mother finding out? Can the young woman’s fears be overcome? And who exactly is this man who would risk everything to court the mayor's only daughter?

Then Jupiter Jones cursed the fate that had marooned him among the planet's groveling mutants. He only wanted to escape. But the mutant's rising excited whispers proclaimed him a knight in shining armor who alone could save them. And the strange sword he'd found was, they said, the one weapon that could prevail against the vicious octopoids who enslaved them.
