Welcome to the new age. In the year 2090, players can enter a Lord of the Rings-like world for themselves. Jump into Tralheim. Join the revolution. Luke, a recent university graduate, Noelle, a high school dropout, and Tetsu, a sixty-five year old retired businessman have formed a fellowship, one built upon both companionship and trust. Together, their adventures have taken them from one end of the world to the next. After two years of play, they have conquered Tralheim and retired to a quaint seaside town. Luke prefers the quiet life, while Noelle is still haunted by scars from her past. And Tetsu? He’s just a perverted old man. Life is good. Unknown to them, something sinister moves in the dark. Something that will sunder the very rules of the game. Evil has its eyes on Luke, plotting his destruction from the Gray Tower. New companions, old enemies, and a talking wolf: Luke, Noelle, and Tetsu are in for one hell of a ride. They just don’t know it yet.

Super. Just super. Otherworldly maybe, but super doesn't necessarily mean that everything I'm going through is good, it just refers to the fact that it has all been extraordinary. Ask me how I'm doing. Go ahead, ask! How am I doing? I'm doing super. Just super. You think because I say that I'm okay? That I live in a stable environment? No, I don't. But I have been gifted with this curse. Quite the oxymoron, I know, but if everything wasn't so unbearably, relentlessly, and despicably painful, I might enjoy this Cube. I might enjoy all the powers, I might enjoy the wolf, the girl...I might enjoy life. But those horrible excuses for creatures won't stop until they've taken everything from not just me, but everybody. They won't stop until the world is burning, the oceans are black, and the sky has the ash gray color of a lifeless body. They won't stop, and neither will I. But what I will do is stop them, or die trying. (Copyright © 2012 [Lane Prevallet] All Rights Reserved.)

Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.

Age of Aether -- A Steampunk Adventure-Romance Novella. When Capt. Ben Bantam is tapped to go back in time in order to retrieve a cure for the vicious Shadow plague, he is shocked to arrive in an alternate 1944 where electricity doesn't exist. Instead, a parallel past has mysteriously arisen -- complete with parasols, stunningly luxurious Aerotels, hydrologic computing, Helux-powered 'cloud growlers' and a space elevator-based moon race with Germany. And of course, there is the lovely Dr. Rachelle Archenstone ... But when Hitler is made Chancellor in this world and the American space program sabotaged, Bantam is the only one who realizes the true depth of the danger posed by the newly formed Nazi party. Together with Rachelle, he races to save this America while seeking an explanation to the mystery of this alternate past -- and with it, a way to return to his own world with the Shadow's cure. But when it comes down to a choice between his lovely Rachelle and a thousand years of Nazi rule, what will he do? Thrill to a tale of a Yesterday that never was ... And yet was!
