Cross-eyed Dragon Troubles: Dragon Knight's Guild May 30, 2019

by Gloria Oliver

$0.99

Talia didn't want to be apprenticed, not even to the prestigious Dragon Knight's Guild.

She's taken to the school by a cross-eyed dragon and his partner, Kel. A dizzying, madcap ride which leaves her less than eager to be a knight, but soon she finds out the guild needs many types of people. Running into the dragon and squire again and again, she comes to realize the unlikely pair are outsiders in their own school. They were participants in the dragon-human pairing ritual, but it didn't work quite as intended. They are also stubborn loners, determined to overcome the obstacles in their path and make a proper pair. Or are they?

As Talia's first year at the guild evolves, she must deal with the Administrator's quirks, her lessons, the growing mystery of Clarence and Kel, and somewhere in there, possibly decide what it is she wants for her future.

All Elizabeth hoped to do was to rekindle the love in her marriage. Yet despite ignoring her social obligations and immersing herself in her husband's important work, somehow this only made things worse.
Her last hope is her unborn child, a source of unrequited love to fill the void inside her. But that too is taken from her. How? Why?
Her doctor avoids her. Her husband berates her. And there are whispers--whispers telling of things that cannot be.
Yet the more Elizabeth ignores the rumors, the more they press on her to seek the truth, so she concocts a plan to find it. To find it and hopefully exonerate both Robert and herself. To discover the reason she's lost all that's dear to her. And she will, even if she must venture into Whitechapel to do it.

"I just finished the last page of THE FOUR BUBBAS OF THE APOCALYPSE, and my jaw is now permanently dropped. Camaraderie and flatulence, halitosis and high adventure, hilarity and horror, bad taste and good writing, all combine to make this world of dystopian trailer parks and the folks who inhabit them a strangely hard place to leave. Why, next to these people, those other four apocalyptic guys seem positively Biblical. Oh. Wait a minute... " -- John Wooley, author of AWASH IN THE BLOOD

Vassal of El Nov 25, 2020

$5.00

Violently ripped from his people and yet not quite fitting in with those who take him in, Torren has spent most of his life avoiding his past. One act of kindness will change this, invariably driving him to face all he'd rather leave forgotten.

Things grow more complicated as it seems that not only is the evil from the past to be repeated, but it's somehow connected to the impending war of two countries, the impact of which would be felt through the world. Torren's duality might be the only thing able to make the difference between peace and genocide.

It took everything from me, except revenge!
One moment I am sitting down to a cup of tea; the next, I'm on a dark street with a set of headlights coming right at me.
Not only am I not where I'm supposed to be, but I have three months of missing time. In that period, I ruined my best friend's wedding, blackmailed my boss, turned my back on my family and heritage, and worse.
I'm sure I've lost my mind until I meet Jensen White, an ex-priest who proves to me I am not insane. He shows me I was possessed by a demon--one who used and discarded me like so much garbage.
Plus, it appears it did so with a purpose. So I'm tracking the thing to find out how and why it did this to me. Then I'll make the ones responsible pay!
