ISLAND LEGENDS is an epic fantasy adventure series set in a galaxy reeling from devastating wars, filled with countless alien species, a rich history of powerful magical forces, and the interventions of many gods and demons constantly at war. *** James Island was born two years ago as a fully grown man. While struggling to build a life for himself in the desert city of Tyken Town, James finds his world turned upside down when he is confronted by Evan Goodheart, a strange young alien who claims to be on a mission from the gods to find James and save his own people. Despite trepidation, James finds an affinity with the lost and bewildered Evan and takes it upon himself to help him find his way; all while attempting to maintain some order in the life he's made and his construction work responsibilities. Throughout the course of the day James will discover just how entwined his fate is with Evans as the truth of his unknown past is revealed to him, setting him on a perilous journey that will lead him across the galaxy. *** Among its many influences are the grand operatic adventures of the Star Wars universe, the ensemble cast of desperate heroes of a Final Fantasy game, and the long and all-important journey of The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time series. I also like to think of it as a serial television show, where we learn more of the characters as the progressively complex story develops, with new characters being introduced along the way. ISLAND LEGENDS: THE AWAKENING OF JAMES ISLAND was previously published by Solstice Publishing and is now looking for a new publisher. * Only the first few chapters are available on Wattpad as a teaser *

A mesmerizing, lyrical tale of longing, desire and the pain of love. Foolish love appears to be a Roux family birthright, and for Ava Lavender, a girl born with the wings of a bird, it is key to her inheritance. In a quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to fit in with her peers, Ava ventures away from home, ill-prepared for what awaits her in a world that does not know whether to view her as girl or angel. Ava’s search and her family’s saga build to a devastating crescendo until, on the summer solstice, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air and Ava’s fate is revealed.

"I've been living an illusion. And I don't mean that in the usual soap-opera-y way most people do when they say something as dramatic as 'I've been living an illusion.' I haven't discovered my lover's been cheating on me, or that my Dad secretly works for the FBI, or that my school is full of vampires, or anything stupid like that... I really mean it. I've been living in some real-life "Twilight Zone" bullshit. And I don't know how long I've been here- maybe my entire life. Everything I do. Everywhere I go. Everyone I talk to... All of it's suspect. All of it's part of some grand illusion. Even my girlfriend acts like she's in on it. And that sucks, because I really like my girlfriend." -Eugene X __________________________________________________________________________________ Follow struggling musician Eugene X as he descends down the most unlikely of rabbit-holes in the often-surprising "REWIND PARK."

These are the tales of decadence, cronyism and long knives from Thule, the city of sinister angles. A dark city-state that ate the island that houses it and now gnaws at the rest of the world. It's gibbous towers and jutting spires grow ever taller as it reaches out to escape the creeping miasma of its own filth. A corrupt priesthood and unchecked merchant lords rule over this black marble wound on the landscape with sneering indifference. Hilarity ensues.

Caliandra, teenage Princess of Barra, is in dire straits: her father, King Rionn, is dying; her fiancée left her to marry a richer woman; and her brother Valric's gone missing, while looking for a cure for their father's illness. Her very title hinges on Valric's success – since their father, King Rionn, was picked to rule by Peacebringer, a magic axe, and when he dies, Valric and Caliandra lose everything. But the Royal Seer, Royth, sent the Prince on a fool's errand into dangerous territory, and for good reason. Valric was to be the next king - and according to Royth's visions, Valric would destroy their kingdom… while Caliandra would rebuild it. When Valric turns up dead, King Rionn succumbs to disease, and Peacebringer goes missing, Caliandra and her mother, the Queen, must out-wit Marrol, the King’s Minister of War, in a high-stakes game of political ambition against a rival willing to do anything to keep the throne. What will Caliandra and her allies do to get her back in power – and what price will Caliandra pay to wear the crown? Enjoy an advance read of the first 20 chapters for free - the full book drops April 23rd on Amazon, Smashwords, Nook, Kobo, and the iBook Store!
