Daniel has lived his entire life peacefully on his mountain home with his grandfather. Then one day that all ends and this twenty-five-year-old young man is forced to deal with the loss of his grandfather and the knowledge that he may be the only hope for saving his country. The country of Now is in devastation. For years after the wizards and sorcerer war, Now experienced unprecedented peace. It flourished in advancements; socially, economically and technologically. Then the three-headed dragon, politics, greed and power reared their ugly head. Unwilling to deal with the harsh laws and restriction placed upon them by the government the citizens rose up and rebelled. The Great War that was fought between the citizen rebels and the government utilized all of the new devastating technology that the country of Now had developed and the outcome was disastrous. Their country lay in ruins. The earth and the people were dying as there were no longer any resources left to sustain them. Daniel is forced to come down off his mountain to find answers about his missing grandfather. He meets his grandfather's old friend Gavin and his niece and nephew Marcus and Anna; wizards. They tell him an unbelievable prophecy that he has to play the starring role in but...to succeed he has to get through Peter-an insane, power hungry descendent of wizards-and the whole militia he controls. Gavin's prophecy and the part that he feels Daniel will play in it is unbelievable. Will Gavin help him find his grandfather if he doesn't help them fulfill the prophecy? Why didn't his grandfather ever tell him about this prophecy and his part in it? What are these confusing feelings Daniel is experiencing for Gavin's niece Anna? But does any of that matter if the end of their world is set to come?

King Arthur Awakens reveals the identity of the man who was the genesis of Arthurian legends, describing his life, his wars and his death.Arthur has been disguised for more than a millennium in early Irish literature and the real story stretches out far beyond Britain and Ireland. Michael Walsh identifies a number of the sites of Arthur`s battles including Camlann. He reveals the origin of grail myth and explains how tales of an Irish ancestral figure that began to emerge in late Roman Britain, became the cornerstones of the earliest British accounts of Arthur and the later epic British and Continental Arthurian narratives that began to appear in the 12th century. The truth is as remarkable as the legends became.

When they go to Kembor they learned differently. So much so that their lives changed completely after they responded to that telegram

Western Roads is Michael Walsh's semiautobiographical tale of wanderlust, friendship, and murder. The story follows Walsh and his confederate, Othello Bolen, who flee Minneapolis after a violent incident in St. Paul. They meet a few years later in California and boil toward the climactic finish. The work is experimental, urgent; hot as a bebop jazz solo. It drips with multifarious characters Walsh meets while rambling. His hatred of institutions, his struggle with depression, and above all, his insatiable desire to "see what's out there, "to move," give the story plenty of action, whether it be hitchhiking, train hopping, or driving a dilapidated Mustang. "The tar roll was my sanctuaire. My Muse. My mentor. Passage to the bright midnight's pageant of actors, scenes--and I got to play a part."

Nick and his father lived on a peaceful farm. Nick had grown up there. He loved working with his father on the farm. Their peaceful setting was changed when an old friend of his father's knocked on their door one day changing their lives, their world, and their future forever.

Cadillac Fin Suitcase is a lightning journey with American artist Michael Walsh through the mad streets and lush countryside of the "Little Dragon"-Taiwan. Eighteen short works, including memoir, noir, black comedy, poetry, and more. Arriving in Taipei in 1998 with a Fulbright Scholarship in Photography, Walsh explored the island for years shooting buku film. Along the way, between puffs on Cuban cigars and slugs of whiskey, he began to write about his experiences. Walsh's memoirs, (some of which contain fictional "scenes" and characters) written in a crackling, improviso style-flash narratives inhabited with "wolf men and bad cops," angels and hustlers and Taoist holy men. A trove of eccentric characters light up the fiction pieces with witty dialogue and surprising antics. Cool, brash private eye Big Guava Chang assists an heiress in the hard-boiled thriller The Pigeon Racers. Vivo Lin, a vivacious Taiwanese American psychologist, has developed unconventional techniques to treat patients. Her arrogance leads to a lethal game with a con man in Lester Moore. Mr. Leonard Thing, a Taipei lawyer, receives an odd birthday gift in the hilarious and climactic black comedy Happy Go Drive Thru. Many other players throughout the pieces are sure to amuse and captivate. Blunt, original, and sometimes devilishly lascivious and profane, the collection is a highly entertaining odyssey through Taiwan's spellbinding culture.

The country of Now was a country which was just coming into its own and was slowly growing its economy.

A small band of people decided to stop them without totally understanding the consequences of their decision. They were known as the Wizards of Now; and it did not take them long to realize just what those consequences were.

Copper Capers is a humorous account of the experiences, arrests, and the workings of a police department. You can't make this stuff up! Each short story chapter is an incident that becomes an antidote to what would have been a very dull and sometimes dangerous shift. Funny things are said and done by people being chased and caught by the police. For example, the man who adamantly declared, "I'm not taking the Polygram test!" or the woman who stated that she was a hologram are real experiences. This book was meant to invoke a chuckle from those who can relate to some of the stories. But it also provides a look behind the curtain of how police sustain their sanity under immense pressure.
