Rock Band Fights Evil is a fast-paced and fun series that follows the adventures of a ragged bar band of cursed musicians who are fighting to get leverage against the powers of Hell. Jim, the lead singer, is Satan’s own son, who bears a grudge against the First Prince of Hell since his lover lost an infernal wager and found herself one of the damned. Eddie, the guitarist, sold his soul at the crossroads for the gift of becoming the greatest rock and roll musician ever, but he forgot to specify an instrument—thus he got stuck with the tambourine. Adrian is a keyboard player as well as a sorcerer, gifted with immense power and cursed with a terrible narcolepsy that knocks him out when the stress gets too high. Twitch on the drums is a shapechanging fairy, cast out of the Mirror Queendom for a prank that went wonderfully right and offended the honor of one of Hell’s dignitaries. And Mike, bass player and former gangbanger, carries the ghost of his own dead brother around with him as a curse he just can’t shake.

***The Corner Booth Contest Runner-Up*** WARNING: contains one blue-eyed stranger, one fast-talking heroine, and a couple of scenes steamier than a mirage at noon. Throw in gigantic dust storms, lawmen out for blood, plus a wasteland to be traversed and you are in for an adventure sultrier than the desert sun! You would think May was living in paradise. After all, a gorgeous man just showed up on her porch willing to do anything she asks of him. But this is no paradise. May lives in a world settled by technology-rejecting idealists wishing to live in harmony with the land. That land, however, has not been very cooperative. The desert in the heart of the planet is spreading outward at an alarming pace, swallowing anything that gets in its way. And May? She's in its way, all right! Alone on her parents' dying farm, May has two goats, a shotgun, and a whole lot of dust. That's about all she has, until the day Ro shows up. Ro brings with him a secret most of their world isn't ready to face. The lawmen on his tail will do whatever it takes, including murder, to keep that secret buried in the desert sand. If they don't succeed in killing May and Ro, no matter: the desert might just do the job for them.

In 1922 my Papa told me of a faceless entity that lurks amongst us in our isolated slice of Russia. The locals have kept this horror alive for a century, though the only ones who claim to have seen the Folveshch have succumbed to a life of sightless silence. My name is Stefan Alyovich and the people around me are changing. They slip into worsening madness every winter, and I ask myself: how much longer before I'm the only sane one left? ...

Arcadia's Knight Academy is the premier school for young men hoping to become a Sorceress's Knight. Only nobles, people with power and prestige, are allowed within these hallowed grounds-which explains why Caspian Ignis del Sol is hated by everyone. He's not a noble, or of even slightly noble lineage. He's a peasant. Caspian is tasked with delivering a letter to a Sorceress, but he soon finds himself in over his head, when the Sorceress in question is attacked by an elven assassin. Now he's become the temporary Knight for a Sorceress nicknamed The Succubus, and he must protect her from more assassination attempts. However, Caspian is beginning to suspect the Sorceress might be more dangerous than the assassin. Complete!

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.

"There's a power in this world that no one has seen before. It is gentle and sweet; but brutal and devastating. Maybe, if it could be seen, everyone would fight over it. That's why no one has ever seen it. The universe hid it so that no one could get their hands on it easily. However, someday, someone will find it and get to possess it. The person who deserves it the most will definitely find it. And I believe that we have found that person." - King Reginald "At last, that person has awakened!" - Queen Scarletta "If there is a new world that can be created by my sword, a world where you can live peaceful and without fear-, if my arm can create that world, I will kill" - Prince Allen "You wouldn't understand. Some things in this world must be protected, even if it means getting your hands dirty. Some things can only be seen through a tainted eye." - Haytham "If you've got the time to think of a beautiful death, then shouldn't you be using it to live beautifully until death actually comes?" - Mrs. White "I'm like a migratory bird. I've lived life trying to not be part of things, just passing by. There was nothing much to do after they passed away, anyway" - Jane Summers Join Jane as she gets thrown into a world of adventure after a bizarre incident, tossing her into chaos. Will she find the underlying truth about that kingdom? Will she be able to face The Forbidden Destiny? Will she find out what the Mage of Eden is? Before that, will she be even able to survive?

When your soul is hunted, you can't hide forever. Thousands of years ago, an evil known as the corruption seeped into the land. Where once it was contained by the Sentinels -- humans or elves gifted with magic -- it now thrives unchallenged, gaining strength and claiming those that once fought it for its own. Nineteen year old Skye has always known this. Living with demons on your doorstep is a constant fight for survival, but she’s determined to not become one of the corruption’s monsters. To keep her soul pure, no matter the cost. But with the Sentinels gone, betrayed by their own, it’s only a matter of time before the corruption seizes them all. When a scouting mission goes awry and Skye is taken prisoner, her blades can’t save her. Marked by the corrupted Sentinel, she waits for a fate worse than death to take hold. Only when the Silverborn, knights dedicated to fighting the corruption come to free her does something awaken within her. Something powerful. The power of a Sentinel. Celestial. Fire. Water. Nature. Shadow. None are safe from the corruption. *+*+*+*
