Scepter Of Fire
Dexter didn't like being a pawn. It seems life was taking him there though. He and his father never saw eye to eye, but being captured and tortured for his father's mistakes gave Dexter too much to think about. First, the girl he lost; he'd never forget what they did to her. It changed him, and made him see the small city where his father moved him was a prison for magicals, the damned, and now him. Too bad, the creator of the Void didn't realize they would be better off if they'd set him free, because now he was fighting for his life, and someone he'd have to hide his feelings from to protect, not just from those that want to drag them back, but from himself-a vigilant.

The Winds of Destiny
THE WINDS OF DESTINYLove Lost SeriesBook 8A Romance Suspense and Adventure Novel THERE IS POSITIVELY NO LOVE LIKE A LOST LOVE AND NO PAIN LIKE A SHATTERED HEART. The power of love brings hope. However, at times the steps toward love can cause pain and lead to a life of loneliness. We are all born to love with all the necessary courage to walk the path to it... no matter the roughness and no matter the hardships.That is true in most cases unless you are Casina Collins, a young woman born on an island twenty miles southeast of Port Aransas, Texas. Unless you are a young woman turning twenty-one and the only friends you have had for all those years were Zeus, Hercules, Robin Hood, and Poseidon.An adventurer by the name of Logan Duncan from Austin, Texas finds himself on the island after his vessel goes down in a storm, trying to escape civilization because of some terrible things he had done.Then there is Hanno, half beast and half man, who doesn't like the fact that Logan has shown up on the island and becomes jealous as Hell over the eyes Logan Duncan has for Casina and she has for him.Casina Collins has only loved one man in her entire life, and that was her father, Edward Collins. That was until she saved Logan Duncan from his shipwreck on the jetties of the peninsula.Join the adventure of ups and downs in the newly found love between Casina and Logan.Watch the first time Logan gained consciousness after the shipwreck, lying on his back on the beach at Pelican Island. It was as though every ounce of breath left her body into the stormy surroundings like midnight smoke. Every time he kissed her, whether it was in Sherwood Forest or on a mountain top with Zeus commanding their every move, the stranger's kisses made the world come to a stop for the beautiful young redhead.In Casina's world, this was a new beginning. Not familiar with this kind of love, this is what falling in love is all about, a story she never wanted to come to an end. For so long, she longed for it and dreamed about it. Now, she can't bear to lose it, but that might soon happen when Shannon Turner, another beautiful woman with long flowing blonde hair and a body to die for, follows Logan Duncan to the island in the middle of nowhere.Some say you can't save someone from The Winds of Destiny, but Casina did just that, at least at first. She walked some of Logan's path with him and protected him from the demons who would end his mission too soon. Casina became first a friend, then a lover, and gave him all her love when it hurt to do so.Read as the Winds of Destiny change direction in the last two chapters. When they switch back in the other direction? Will Zeus save the day? Or, will Robinhood save the day or Poseidon comes from the deep to help the two lovers escape the ever-expanding love triangles that have evolved.Happy Reading!!!

Nevaeh - The Lost City of Nemea
NEVAEH - THE LOST CITY OF NEMEAOMEGA CHRONICLES - BOOK 2 "If you were to destroy the belief in immortality in mankind, not only love but every living force on which the continuation of all life in the world depends, would dry up at once." - Fyodor DostoevskyMany people believe that being immortal is a bliss, something that is priceless... something that one would do next to anything for. Would it be a bliss to live long enough to see all your loved ones perish? To wander around the world in loneliness, for every friend you ever made have run out of time to spend with you? Personally, I think not! It's not a bliss. If anything, it's a downright curse.This story about the lost city of Nemea is a subgenre of the fantasy or science fiction genres that involves the discovery of an unknown world out of time and place. The second novel in the Omega Chronicles series is also a subgenre of the late Victorian adventure romance. This story has a similar theme to other mythical kingdoms, The Lost City of Altinova in Book 1 and others, such as Atlantis and El Dorado.Lucas Petersen, a professor at the University of Texas, is resting quietly in his apartment on Guadalupe Street near the main campus. There's a knock at his door that surprised him. He is visited by Tommy Hansen, a good friend. With him, he brought a steel box, sat it down at his friend's table, and explained his unusual request, including the fact that he was soon to die. Part of the request was that the contents of the box couldn't be disclosed for twenty years.Later that day, Lucas received a message that his good friend did in fact die the same night, after visiting with him. At that time, he adopted his friend's five-year old son and waited over twenty years to open the steel box.After twenty years, Lucas and his adopted son read of the quest they must follow into the darkest of jungles in Peru, a place more than one thousand miles northeast of Lima.As they journeyed, the men encountered a most terrible storm, a river full of crocodiles, never-ending mosquitos, seven-foot-tall savages, huge Anaconda snakes, cannibals, and last but not least, Queen Nevaeh herself.Just before reaching the end of their quest, the adventurers found a never-ending city, breathtakingly beautiful with old Greek architecture. The patterns of the roadways and the buildings were geometrical to the very last brick. The statues of Gods and Goddesses were perfect. The stone lions appeared ready to spring off their perches at any second. In the center of the Lost City of Nemea was the next to last step for the adventurers before pressing on towards their final destination, the Pillar of Life.
The Tale of Prophet Dhul-Qarnayn AS (Iskandar Zulkarnaen) And Gog Magog (Yajuj Majuj) Engl
Prophet Dhul-Qarnayn AS or Iskandar Zulkarnaen ("he of the two horns" (or "he of the two ages"), appears in Surah 18 verses 83-101 of The Holy Quran one who travels to east and west and erects a wall between mankind and Gog and Magog (Ya'juj and Ma'juj). Elsewhere The Holy Quran tells how the end of the world would be signaled by the release of Gog and Magog from behind the wall, and their destruction by Allah SWT (God) in a single night would usher in the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyamah). Similarities between The Holy Quran and the Syriac Alexander Legend were also identified in recent research.

The Other Side of the Shamans
The Other Side of the Shamans, an adult-oriented novel, is divided into two parts: the first, set at the begnning of the eighteeeenth century, follows the historically-based life of Walking Horse, a young spiritual Native American in the Ho-Chunk tribe. A prodigy with remarkable physical and mental powers, Walking Horse encounters ecstatic love and abject evil, with varying degrees of success. The second part, set in the late twentieth century, chronicles the lives of two very different clerics: a priest with positive values and lifestyle, and an evil prelate motivated by power, avarice, and illicit lust. Both individuals have differing levels of shamanistic capabilities. The tome concludes with a melding of the two sections. This book is the first fiction publication by the author.
Adventures of the Argonauts
The Argonauts were a band of heroes in Greek mythology who in the years before the Trojan War accompanied Jason to Colchis in his quest to find the Golden Fleece. Their name comes from their ship, Argo."The familiar ground makes excellent going even for those who know it best, for Dr Rouse has his own way of dealing with the stories. Boys and girls of 11 to 13 years of age could hardly find a better introduction to the classical legends."
The Prodigal and Other Stories
The first house I remember was a double pen structure which sat up on tall blocks. It was in the western part of The Delta not far from the Big River. The soil was buckshot which had only recently been released from the clutches of the surrounding swamp water. It was dark, grainy, and very rich but not easy to farm. When dry, it would shrink and develop large cracks. When wet, it was heavy, would clod up, and be very slick--some said, "as slick as owl shit." But in crop years when the weather was neither wet too late nor dry too early, it produced a bountiful harvest.Light came from coal oil lamps. Water came from a pitcher pump in the back yard. There were no screens on the windows. There was an outhouse close by the garden fence. The road was dirt - mud when it rained. There were no books but there were always the stories.My brother and I would not go to bed unless Daddy told us a story. I learned later that some were traditional fables. Others he just made up but they were all new to us.My father was a story teller. There were many around. In a semi-literate society, that was the way family and community history was preserved. When my uncles came to visit, there were always sessions around the table after supper or on the front porch. I was always allowed to listen. Not only did I pick up a lot of information, I also learned how to tell a good story, a talent I have found useful throughout the years. At a book signing some years ago, a woman asked me what my philosophy of writing was. She was offended when I replied, "Ma'am, I'm just trying to tell a good story."Now where did these fourteen tales come from? Some are true; some have an element of truth in them; four are chapters from a novel in progress; others just came into my mind and led me on a writing journey. But they are all fiction---more or less. That is not to say that some of these did not happen to some people at some time in some place. Nevertheless, they are still fiction.Table of Contents: The Prodigal The Undertaker The Interview The Gates of Hell A New Pair of Glasses The Great Catapult Caper The Loser A Quid Pro Quo?

Compa簽穩a urbana en la noche
Compa簽穩a urbana en la noche es un libro de historias aparentemente simples. Aparentemente. An矇cdotas de la cotidianidad, unas; otras como f獺bulas sin moraleja. Historias de amores y desamores, de tedios y maravillas, de frustraciones y anhelos perseguidos, de b繳squedas y desencuentros, de revelaciones. Todas narradas en tercera persona, todas desde cierta distancia, con algo de frialdad o displicencia, sin mayores recovecos en el sendero de la narraci籀n, y con un estilo limpio y preciso, comedido y sopesado... Pero no se enga簽e, o mejor dicho, d矇jese enga簽ar por esta falta de estr矇pito, por ese cielo sin fuegos de artificio, porque de eso se trata y porque esa es la intenci籀n de la autora: antes que sacudirnos, quiere (y logra) desarzonarnos con los sordos y tel繳ricos rumores sobre los cuales estamos sentados, se簽al獺ndonos lo que no vemos ante nuestras narices, de puro ciegos o tercos. Diana Fern獺ndez despliega ante nosotros el Tarot de esta vida de aqu穩, y lo hace con la elegancia no exenta de iron穩a del fil籀sofo descalzo que prefer穩a preguntar antes que afirmar, mostrar antes que explicar: eso que siempre hemos intuido, que las cosas no son tan simples como parecen (聶o s穩?).
Das HerzBuch Eins
Untoten... Undead Eber Soldat, a soldier named Soldier. A heartless man who was thought a monster of war, until the day he truly became one. Returning from the dead, he and his men, Captain Mikhail Koza, Lieutenant Johan Thayer, and Lieutenant Adolpho Ermanno, embark on the next assignment, guarding Ambrozij Kasimir, the head of the church, a man whose power rivals even that of King Berin's. Wanting to keep their new existence a secret to protect themselves, Eber seeks the aid of an old ally, Lorelei Zima, a beautiful woman who makes Koza wonder if she had been more to the heartless Commander at one time in their past. Her nature is playful and her abilities deadly, Lorelei proves to be of great help and at times... a little harm. With each soldier undergoing his own session of rigor mortis, the men learn the lies and truths of the unique untoten of their homelands as they discover their differing strengths and hungers. Reaching their destination, the soldiers expect peace finally as Kasimir arrives in the tattered village of Hieb, yet it steadily becomes clear there is no rest even for the dead as the village is swarmed by untoten. The starving undead burn at the touch of Hallowed ground, giving salvation for Kasimir, but his sanctuary will be his tomb as the days pass and the untoten do not leave, forcing Kasimir to face his own starvation. With Eber's new mission of getting the Holy Man out of the village alive, his heartlessness may prove to be a weakness or what saves him.
The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies
"The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns, and Fairies" is the famous and mysterious treatise on fairy folklore, witchcraft, second sight, and ghosts by Gaelic scholar and minister, Robert Kirk. Written before he died in 1692, the work was not published until 1815 after many legends had grown around Kirk's death, which imagined that he was secreted away by the fairies themselves for revealing their secrets. Most famous during his own lifetime for publishing one of the first translations of the Bible into Gaelic, Kirk spent much of his professional life collecting the many folklore tales native to Scotland. He believed that these tales of fairies, witches, and ghosts, as well as stories claiming that many Scots were gifted with second sight, or extrasensory perception, were proof that the stories in the Bible were in fact true and supernatural phenomenon in fact existed. While Kirk died before his collection of otherworldly encounters was published, it is widely regarded by scholars as one of the most important and significant works on fairy folklore and the Scottish belief in second sight. Many of our modern depictions of fairies can find their origins in this fascinating and historically important work that continues to entertain and inspire readers the world over.

From birth, Villia had inherited a peculiar name, strange powers, and the ability to see an island teeming with mythical creatures-invisible to all but those who possess the Flatbottom name. Villia believed that her life was under control until she received a surprise phone call from her estranged daughter, asking Villia to watch her grandchildren for a week. Villia jumped at the chance to connect with her family. She thought, "I don't have to sail to the Island of the Blue Moon for two weeks. Hmm. How hard could it be to entertain those two darlings for a week? Oh, pish posh, what could go wrong?"Determined not to let anything disrupt their time together, Villia forges ahead. An excursion to an old Adobe home filled with potions and an ancient trunk leads her to a stunning revelation about the past, but one she is not quite sure she can handle. This whimsical tale of allegory and love finds Villia embarking upon a journey of personal discovery. Secrets from the distant past will reveal the truth about her family legacy and give Villia the key to replacing suspicion and resentment with faith. Find out what happens when the woman with a peculiar name discovers the truth about her name and her family legacy.

Jataka Tales of the Buddha - Volume I
"This set of three volumes includes 217 (of 547) Jataka tales lovingly retold by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki.Whereas Western intellectuals seek the essence of Buddhism in its doctrines and meditation practices, the traditional Buddhists of Asia absorb the ideas and values of their spiritual heritage through its rich narrative literature about the Buddha and his disciples. The most popular collection of Buddhist stories is, without doubt, the Jatakas. These are the stories of the Buddha's past births, relating his experiences as he passed from life to life on the way to becoming a Buddha. At times he takes the form of a bird, at times he is born as a hare, a monkey, a prince, a merchant, or an ascetic, but in each case he uses the challenges he meets to grow in generosity, virtue, patience, wisdom, and compassion.This anthology of Jatakas, ably told by Ken and Visakha Kawasaki, remains faithful to the original yet presents the stories in clear and simple language. It thereby makes the Jatakas accessible even to young readers and to those for whom English is not their first language." (Note: This title was previously published under ISBN 9781681721033 . Due to technical issues a new ISBN had to be assigned. Rest assured that both versions of this title are exactly the same.)
