Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

Here's to say we play a game, a game for friend and foe. Here's to say we play at nigh, and end the game at dawn. Here's to say we add a twist, to leave you on your seat. Here's to say we have some fun, and let your knees be weak.

Dear world, I know you think you are perfect, and that is great. I know some of you don't think that, and that is untrue. But, in some cases, that is not untrue. And this is my story why.

This is a collection of my shorter scary stories that are too short to put into a book by itself.

We all know the story. There is a mirror, there are 13 candles, there is a chant, there is a ghost. Ghost comes out of mirror kaboom you are dead. But what if there is more to this story?

I wonder...

A camping trip gone wrong. A campfire tale turned bad. A giggle that was lethal.

A whole heap of short horror stories! Some of them I write myself, some I have heard via friends and some I have read.
