A hunt for a magical treasure that could pay a dowry - or win a war. Raltarn and his uncle are entrepreneurs, struggling to make an honest living - or failing that, any sort of living - as Raltarn scrapes together a dowry for his fiancée Shanu. Shanu's father, tired of waiting, gives Raltarn an ultimatum - double your fortune in three months or the wedding is off. While clearing junk from a dead man's house, Raltarn finds a magic mirror that can communicate instantaneously with an identical mirror over great distances. The pair could provide him with a dowry - and might give his country the edge it needs in the long war with its neighbour. When the other mirror proves to be thousands of miles away, across dangerous seas and unexplored lands, Raltarn and his uncle decide the risks are worth it, but they soon discover they are not the only ones who see the opportunity for power and profit... Please note: I won't be uploading the whole book to Wattpad, at least not for the foreseeable future. I'll be going as far as chapter 10, which is about a fifth of the way through. If you like the story enough to want to read the rest of it, it's available as an ebook and in print from Amazon, and as an ebook from Smashwords. Or see my website at http://www.pembers.net for a list of other retailers.

A murder mystery set in a school for wizards. When apprentice wizard Adramal moves to a new school to complete her training, she discovers that several ritual murders have been committed by magic, threatening the fabric of the world. The evidence points to the killer being one of Adramal's teachers, and the City Watch recruit her to go undercover to unmask the murderer. Can she find what she needs before the killer strikes again or - worse - without blowing her cover and putting her own life in danger? This book was one of four finalists in the May 2015 #Wattpad4 contest. The judges said, "I was pulled into the story from the start. It delivers what it says with a strong premise and threat-filled plot." Three further books in the series, Plague & Poison, Dust & Water, and Stone & Silence, are on sale. The whole series is available in ebook, paperback and audiobook, read by the author. Search for "Steven J Pemberton" on Amazon, Apple, Audible or Barnes & Noble, or visit http://www.pembers.net/books.html for other retailers. (This book was posted on wattpad.com. If you are reading it on another site, it was probably put there without my permission, by someone who was too stupid to remove this notice. Please go to Wattpad to read the original book.)

After an apparent fatal drowning, Lincoln Parker wakes up alive, fully intact and drenched in the seawater of San Diego Beach. Confused, disorientated and alone, he staggers into the nearest bar only to discover ten years has passed since his disappearance in 1935. Yet, as he stumbles towards a mirror, he learns that his body has not aged one day since his ‘drowning’. Shocked, appalled and with no money or contacts, he is left lingering in the shadows performing odd jobs here and there in order to gather some stability; one of which being a seat filler.
