In KINGDOM OF THE NANOSAURS (book one of the trilogy THE KINGDOMS OF TIME AND SPACE), Morgan Lane’s phenomenal memory is used by the Guardians, the spiritual protectors of the animal kingdom, to memorise and protect The Cosmic Algorithm – the source code of all creation. The Guardians, who inhabit a breath propelled starship deep inside Mount Everest, have magically transported the animal kingdom to a new Eden. That’s when poetry loving, witty but shy, Morgan, who only believes in science and scorns magic and spirituality, suddenly becomes the most important person on Earth and finds his life in danger at the hands of fallen angels, cosmic parasites and a crazed scientist seeking world domination. Together with his friend Lin Rainbow, a Chinese-American girl who has the gift of prophecy, and Winston, his pet orangutan, transformed into a genius with the power of speech, Morgan embarks on a life threatening quest to save the world from cataclysmic events. These include the utter disappearance of all animal life on earth, the arrival of a legion of fallen angels known as the Shadix and the plans of a billionaire scientist, Marius Natzler (controlled by the Shadix), who has replaced the animal kingdom with a ‘Pandora’s Box’ of artificial, indestructible creatures called nanosaurs, to establish the ultimate New World Order and enslave mankind. The knowledge stored in Morgan’s astounding memory and the secret of Winston’s amazing transformation are coveted by Natzler who will stop at nothing to acquire them. Captured and imprisoned Morgan and friends must escape and stay alive long enough to locate the Guardians and enter the gateway to a parallel dimension where Morgan can use The Cosmic Algorithm to reprogram the Continuum and return the world to the Eden it was always supposed to be.

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story?
