From Pro Se Productions- The next chapter in its debut line from its YOUNGPULP! imprint- Companion Dragons Tales Volume Two: Finding Waxy! Roger 'Rusty' Rustman is a very secretive fellow-and with good reason. He's not only an untrained wizard who uses forms of magic that are frowned upon, and trades in enchanted items that aren't exactly approved of; but he travels to dangerous places that other magical people avoid, and then writes about them anonymously. From his questionable recreational hobbies he has built a tidy second income along with a stockpile of magical resources. Over the years Rusty has gained a reputation as a shady character who operates on the fringes of the Wizards and Witches Council code of ethics while flaunting Wordsmith Guild regulations; but he's really just a quiet and modest writer mage who enjoys a bit of adventure now and then. The last thing Rusty needs is a small but very noticeable companion tagging along. Unfortunately, while on his latest trip out to the magical otherworlds, he finds a very large abandoned egg that decides to hatch unexpectedly in his vacation cabin. That begins an entirely bizarre and mystifying set of events that only the cooperation of a spunky and intelligent little rainbow colored dragon can get him out of safely. Pro Se Productions proudly presents Companion Dragons Tales Volume Two: Finding Waxy by Roger Stegman and Nancy A. Hansen, a series in Pro Se's YoungPulp! imprint. This imaginative adventure expands the world of dragon familiars and their humans introduced in the first volume and brings a new voice into the storytelling. Hansen and Stegman weave words like the best wordsmiths they have created, making Companion Dragons Tales Volume Two: Finding Waxy a pure joy for all ages.

The small, mountainous realm of Everice is crumbling, both physically and financially. Queen Astrea-once a powerful enchantress-had set magick aside to rule her homeland with her dynamic and restless horse lord husband. Now widowed and recently remarried, she struggles to hold on to her throne in a time when the harvests are lean, the countryside seethes with unrest, and fell creatures are coming through the major pass they guard. The light of her life is dead, and her new consort is a bold schemer with plans for radical change. Her eldest child, the crown Princess Neoma, is far more interested in horses and swordplay than politics and intrigue. An almost empty treasury means there is little coin to spare toward the upkeep of Neoma's dwindling stable. While the stubborn young woman still envisions Everice someday having a mounted contingent, of what practical use are cavalry in such rugged heights? Desperate to honor her beloved father's memory, Neoma strikes out on her own to find some way to make their once mutual ambition a reality. She will stop at nothing, including seeking out a heretical monk who collects items of enchantment; though accepting his counsel will force her to choose a path beyond familial honor and duty. Along the way, Neoma finds a brand new purpose in life as the leader of an aerial brigade, and watches her motley group of misfit and outcast youngsters become a fighting force to be reckoned with. These are the stories of The Windriders of Everice! Author Nancy A. Hansen, a leading New Pulp Fantasy author, presents THE WINDRIDERS OF EVERICE. Known for her own original take on the Fantasy Genre, Hansen presents a world where Justice comes from on high. Mount your own winged steed and fight alongside THE WINDRIDERS OF EVERICE, courtesy of Nancy A. Hansen and Hansen's Way. Published by Pro Se Productions.

Alexandre Louis Edouard Lebeau and Danika the Phantom Rose first appeared in TALES OF THE VAGABOND BARDS. Now they are back, in three brand new and exciting adventures of their own. Wanted fugitives on the run, the bantam sized count turned cavalier and the charming and street-wise half-Elven con artist find themselves embroiled in one tenuous situation after another as they attempt to stay ahead of relentless pursuit. Along the way they make friends and enemies, right some wrongs, and learn more about each other's strengths and weaknesses. Find out what happens when a stern woman takes over running her uncle's estate in desperation to avoid marrying a man she cannot love-a man who wants nothing more than to ruin them both. Will Alex and Danika find out the truth of her situation? Can the courage and rapier skills of the diminutive count best the heavy-handed swordsmanship of the long time mercenary he challenges to a duel? Or will some final treachery cost them everything they've gained?Back on the road and slogging through days of foul weather, Danika manages to get Alex to tell her of his past, and why he now travels so far from his homeland. It is a heart-wrenching story of love versus duty, where Alex learned the hard way that you can't let your devotion to the one you hold most dear blind you to her more sordid and malevolent side. Young Count Lebeau has handled many trying circumstances in his short life, but in the savage and cold-blooded schemer Chantal, he will face the ultimate test of his burgeoning skills as a warrior as well as a nobleman's moral obligation. In the end, will Alex be able to set aside his own feelings and deal decisively with the horror and outrage the one he cherishes most has perpetrated on others?Even delightful little villages have their dark secrets. A stop in a small country inn buzzing with local gossip about a recent murder leads to Alex and Danika looking up the rather ostentatious Lord of the area. In Paxon Sommer they find a likable and cheery host, but there is some undercurrent of duplicity in his household. What unfolds is a convoluted tale of mistaken identity, a brutal assault that was never reported, and best intentions meant to protect innocent parties implicating others. Alex must face an angry armed mob with only his skill as a swordsman to protect the one they have come for. Unfortunately, involving themselves in the situation with the idea of bringing the truth to light sets Alex and Danika up for revenge when the unhappy family of the deceased sets the bounty hunters back on their trail.These are the tales garnered by the wayside, where just about anything can and will happen.

Katherine Mary 'Kate' Keener is the newest private investigator in the shoreline town of Rockport Connecticut. She's opened her own business, The Keener Eye, on the second floor of a building that houses a bakery on the ground floor, and her little apartment on the third. She's up against some tough competition, so Kate has been surviving on the more mundane cases and leaving the hard stuff to her rivals. Brewster and Sons Private Investigators is well established, and the patriarch, Morey Brewster, never much liked Kate. He considered her an interloper who dated his younger son just to get inside information on their business. But now Morey is dead, the Brewster partnership is all but bankrupt, and it seems like Kate Keener will be the sole inheritor of all the hard-boiled investigations they used to handle. So how does a young woman who refuses to carry a gun handle herself with a tougher variety of sordid characters and a far more dangerous workload? Better than you would ever believe. Kate Keener is fast thinking and well prepared, with a variety of skills and knowledge, and she has some very loyal friends and associates. In this day and age of electronic gadgets galore and cell phones everywhere, private investigation work is still a very viable asset to those who have nowhere else left to turn for answers. In these three thrilling stories, watch Kate and her crew succeed in untangling the crimes and mysteries that surround the New England countryside and often spread tentacles of intrigue and culpability into the greater world at large. THE KEENER EYE, a trio of short stories by Nancy A. Hansen from her author imprint HANSEN'S WAY and Pro Se Productions.

Nancy A. Hansen continues a saga of fantasy and adventure from her author imprint, Hansen's Way, in this tale of literal good versus evil-THE DARK GLASS.After the battle for the portal, the entire area around Greenwood begins to prosper again. Between the Light World races of Elf, Dwarf, and Fairy there are tentative peace treaties and trade agreements. Yet Humans remain stubbornly determined in their isolationist mindset of antagonism and contempt for what they perceive as inferior beings.In the midst of this new era, two infants of disparate backgrounds are growing up. Red haired Callie's half-Elven daughter Roshanna lives in the Woodsgate Inn with her barmaid mother, neither of them comprehending the little girl's vital importance to the frontier world around them. Yet downriver, another child has been born; a boy with a demonic sire and a prescient knowledge of his future potential for conquest and subjugation. Callie herself is caught up in a web of intrigue when a young man comes back into her life at a time when she is already unhappy with her circumstances. That he wants to take her away from her humdrum existence is tempting, but something about his sudden reappearance hints at a more sinister agenda. He's offering her a very expensive gift-one that no young barmaid should ever possess-an enchanted looking glass worth a king's ransom. What part does this Dark glass play in Callie's own future, let alone that of little Roshanna?From Hansen's Way, THE DARK GLASS by Nancy A. Hansen. From Pro Se Productions
