Presenttense Histoires

Bangkok, 8:12 AM. For one second every morning, the city goes silent. Met is the only one who notices. He has never once asked why. Met solves buildings that shouldn't be standing. His cases close clean. His life is arranged the way a man arranges a life when he has decided not to remember something. Then a woman from Brisbane flies in to tell him his data is impossible. A novel about a city that is louder than its people, a dog that knows more than it says, and the one second of silence that has been waiting for someone to hear it.

The kingdom he fights for has fallen, and with it, its traditions. He's missing an eye and lacks cane mead, but that won't keep him from freeing his fellow dogs. Follow along Gideon the Border Collie and his canine friends as they journey across medieval lands to save their kin from slavery, death, and the Gunpowder Revolution. (Read if you like the hero's journey, medieval fantasy, and anthropormorphic animals!)

In the heart of the ocean, shrouded by mists and mystery, lies the Isle of Nebularesis - a place where the realm of the fae is blurred and unearthly creatures exist. Beneath the rugged cliffs and jagged shores of this enchanted isle, hidden from the prying eyes of humanity, lies a prison unlike any other.
