(Volume 1 of the Reformation Wars series) 

Tom and Alden Holt, both members of Monterayne's illustrious Knights of the King's Table, are related by blood and occupation, but hardly in spirit. Nonetheless, they have both been assigned to the protection of one Senator Alice Delquez as she embarks on a diplomatic mission to a southern land. 

But the power-hungry Innutukian Empire is ever at work, and perils lie on every side. Vigilance and endurance will be necessary as the two knights shield the senator from these foes, as well as a mysterious newcomer, an unmarked swordsman...

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

✽+†+✽ Cowboy Mine ✽+†+✽ +†+ Beau Blanton is well known and respected in the rodeo community and co-owner of the 3B Ranch in Montana. After the notification that his older brother was Missing in Action Beau returns home to take on the responsibilities of the ranch, his family and all the people who live and work there. He feels the weight of all the individuals and animals on the ranch that depend on him. Added to the difficulty of coming to terms with the disappearance of his brother, Beau dives head first into running the ranch. Drina Skylard is a popular, talented Country Western singer who is feeling stressed on several levels. She recently took on guardianship of her younger twin half siblings after the death of their parents. She feels the weight of bonding and caring for them, helping them through their grief while dealing with her own. She, the kids, her band and the entire entourage have been performing across the country for eleven months with little to no break. As a result they are all tired, anxious and short tempered. She feels it necessary to give her family and the entire band a hiatus, so they are headed to the 3B Ranch in Montana, owned and operated by Beau Blanton, Champion Bull Rider. Her ten year old brother and sister follow his career closely and are thrilled to be spending the entire summer at the 3B Ranch and the prospect of actually meeting their hero, Beau Blanton. However; he is definitely not what Drina expected. She understands that he is worried about his missing brother, but his gruff, often times rude manner tests her fiery temper. Beau has little patience for a spoiled, arrogant, wan-a-be cowgirl. However; he soon finds himself enchanted by this sweet, sassy, spunky, and often hot tempered little temptress. ✽+†+✽――――✽+†+✽ At the end of this book videos have been added of the song sang by both Drina and Beau. Please enjoy them. The lyrics are all original. Written by Rebecc

Even teen evil queens need love. Right? (Or at least a handsome sword-fighting minion to do their bidding!) *** Bad things happen when Rowen is around and the worst part is, she has no idea why until a massive family secret sends her on a fantastical journey to fight her evil fate. Will Rowen fold into the forces of dark magic or honor her true self? *** On the surface, Rowen Keckilpenny-Brown seems like a normal teenage girl with normal teen problems-no boyfriend, overprotective parents, and no friends other than a three-legged cat. But her wild red hair, reptilian eyes, and legendary temper say otherwise. When Rowen accidentally blows up the school gym, she discovers a dark secret her fathers have kept from her-she's the heir to an evil queen's throne. The current evil queen, Petronella Grimshaw, is desperate to crown Rowan the new sovereign and blackmails her into traveling to the queendom. Rowen has one month to learn how to evil queen, and it's not easy because there are those in the castle who want her dead, witches are disappearing, and an annoyingly cute swordsman keeps distracting her. Worst of all, Rowan finds herself in a duel against her biggest enemy: herself. She must fight her true fate, in the process uncovering deep familial mysteries and perhaps the biggest secret ever...That maybe, just maybe, she deserves to be loved after all. Princess Diaries meets the School for Good & Evil with a touch of Wednesday Addams thrown in for bad luck. The best kind! Cover by @ClarissaNorth

**SEQUEL TO HER SISTER'S FIANCÉ** ***This story has been officially copyrighted, so steal at your own risk!*** London of the mid 19th century: a city of feigned propriety, snobbery, and tempestuous attempts at the upkeep of the law. Beneath the veneer of upper class purity lies deceptive immorality with all its debase angles. Hypocrisy of society, however, dictates that those openly found to be lacking in virtue are outcast from the good graces of the well-to-do. . .If they're female, that is. . . Cassandra Antrucha played the game. She was the butterfly society dictated she be, but now, London demands that she wallow in the murk of their loathing. Cassandra, however, has never been one to bow and scrape, and what reason is there for her to start now? She has seen both sides of the fence now, and the desired ballroom pet she was before is gone. Forever. If she has anything to say about it, that is. But between a mother who wishes to destroy what little of her reputation is left, the wild moors of Scotland, and the darkness of her world at large, can she survive long enough to enjoy the life she has been given? And what can she do when she finds her heart yearning for a man who can never fulfill her youthful dreams? A devil men fear, an angel men desire. Can they come to terms with the love forming between them?
