Gina Chamberlain, (or, Candy, as she's known most nights,) has been doing her best to keep her family afloat, despite numerous setbacks; from her car breaking down on a lonely highway to her young son needing surgery within the next year in order to save his life, she's got plenty of problems that money could solve instantly, and is thusly a shark in every form of the word. Unbeknownst to her, her selfless yet persistent greed intrigues individuals far above her in terms of power, prestige, pedigree, and of course monetary wealth. When she's offered the rare opportunity to join the ranks of the Awakened, -a dangerous and exclusive group on the very shadiest edge of society dedicated to dubiously funded extra-dimensional bounty hunting that nevertheless is beyond lucrative,- she doesn't hesitate for even a moment to take the leap and secure her family's future, even though she realizes a few moments too late that she despises pointless violence, and has no real knowledge on the subject. Hopefully the class she receives from her mysterious benefactor is one she meshes well with, eh?

Isaac Tomoi, on the other hand, is a Legacy of the Awakened; his family has been hunting monsters for generations, and the immense wealth that comes with such a trade has made their lives, as they would say it, 'somewhat comfortable'. Regardless, they are well-regarded and highly gifted Awakened, in a variety of fields, and their reach is no small, by any stretch of the imagination. Money, however, does not equal happiness, as Isaac is oh-so-sure of. Hopefully he doesn't get whiplash from the storm coming his way in high heels and a latex bunny suit.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family.

On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love.

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, an immortal dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophecied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood. With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world--where death is an impossible remedy to attain--the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to achieve freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past?
