A TALE OF GOOD VS EVIL UNLIKE ANY OTHER Traverse through Arrdus with Silla, Omega, and company on an adventure rife with hardships, hope, despair, love, and magic. Can Silla, a seemingly normal woman in her early twenties, take on her predestined role of Goddess, and survive? Can Silla locate and protect the precious, powerful items of her predecessors? Many opposing forces exist; The Faithful, most fervent followers of the seven gods and goddesses have for millennia crusaded against the Goddess reincarnations. Though they are vast in number and influence, perhaps they pale in comparison to another of Silla's future foes: Faulk, far to the northeast in his walled-in nation has been putting into motion plans of catastrophic evil that will test both Silla and Omega in more ways than they yet know. There are many characters worth falling in love with, but it is impossible to say who will survive and who will perish.

OGDEN: A Tale for the End of Time is a unique fantasy novel full of magical creatures, learning, and love. A young troll appears from the wildwood on the day he is born and abandoned by his father, at the command of the Old Ones. Taken in and raised by a wealthy plantation owner who's also a lover of troll lore, Ogden the troll grows into full maturity within the span of three seasons, turning Hapstead Manor upside-down in the process. As he learns the ways of humans from Drowden Erebus and his family, he also begins to learn about his fated role to choose between life and death for them all. But these lessons come from the song of the stars whose lyrical light co-creates the world, and from the surprising creatures of the faerie realm. The Spirit of Nature has sent Ogden at the infancy of industrialization. As humans prepare to enslave Nature and all its elemental parts with its smelted machines borne from black magic and belching black smoke into the air, they seem to be sleep-walking their way toward a split in the world's timeline, after which they will depart from the natural world into a hell-world of catastrophe for people and nature. As they seek unnatural dominion over an Earth, they will forget the bonds they once had with Nature, and she will abandon them to the world of once was. The Spirit of Nature knows the future but has sent Ogden as its proxy to decide humanity's fate. Will it be survival or extinction for this upstart creature? Can humanity survive when Nature is the judge?

A disgruntled Community College professor who loves literature but loathes his students. A homicide detective who takes her inspiration from Patti Smith's punk period. A cult of Christian zealots who livestream actual crucifixions. And a writer of porn movies whose career does not have a happy ending. All of them connected by a lost manuscript written by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. (That is, if it exists.) At the heart of this multi-faceted narrative is Lucia Joyce, James Joyce's daughter and muse, a brilliant and visionary woman whose life remained shadowed by the specter of madness. Was she the recipient of her father's last masterwork? Where are the letters that would tell her story? Would she have shared his final work if she had ever been released from the mental institution where she languished her entire adult life? The Last Words of James Joyce is a modern-day literary treasure hunt, feverishly churning through the worlds of social media, academic conferences, sanitariums, porn movie sets and late-night diners, with a cast of characters who'd be right at home in the most wild Joycean fantasy, all drawn by the prospect of the literary find of the century: an unpublished work by the master modernist and literary icon himself. Both playful and profound, this modern quixotic adventure explores the life of a neglected and heroic woman and her legacy as the keeper of strange and dark secrets, and the scramble for fame, fortune, and infamy that her silence spawned. But as this novel reminds us, some voices simply can't be stilled -- not by time, death, or deceit -- and what we think are lost words sometimes turn out instead to be last words.
