What You now hold in your hands is more than just a book. It is the realization of a concept of a brilliant creative mind that recognized certain things in himself, dark things. Things he thought he might not overcome. He conceived this idea, partly in jest, but more in earnest desire. A book focused on creative souls who experience depression and struggle with horrors that they exorcise by putting them to paper, but just can’t always let go of that way. He wanted there to be a book out there for creatives (and others who might benefit) by creatives to address the struggles so many endure and to offer ways to cope, to deal, and to move on. To overcome.

He had one proviso. In case he didn’t beat back his own demons, he didn’t want the book full of stories about him or his life. And we honored that request, in all but the introduction.

Logan L. Masterson lost his battle with what plagued him on March 29, 2016. And this book, his idea, is now a reality, to help bring to light the issues creative souls do endure, many similar to anyone else, some unique to our own little family. All proceeds from this book will go to a variety of charities, local as well as state and national, to promote suicide intervention and prevention as well as to assist with working through and surviving depression, with a focus being on those who are artists, writers, performers, etc. affected by this.

In these pages, You will find souls torn open for Your reading. Hearts shattered so You can see the pieces we work with, what fires us to take each step every day. And words of hope blooming out of fountains of despair. Please, read, take from it what you will, and if the possibility is there, share this book with others until the cover is falling off.

And make no mistake. This book is about and because of Logan L. Masterson.

Rumble (Cryptid Clash! Book 5) Nov 16, 2017

$3.99

Mongolian Death Worm vs. Mole People

Like thunder rolling beneath the sands, the mole person could feel the worm roll by. The sand tented just enough for it to track where the storm was headed: straight for the feeding frenzy.

Something has gone wrong in Mongolia. Morgan Industrial Technologies’ natural gas station has gone dark. No communication in or out, it seems, and the satellite imaging shows the station wrecked. Wrecked as though everything has descended into a warzone.

Which perhaps it has. The station may have been working on more than natural gas. Mongolian Death Worms, the olgoi khorkhoi of lore, have attacked this base–ripping up anything on the sands, and rending the foundations of the structures. At night, the Eaters in the Rocks emerge, ripping people apart and eating everything they can get their many limbs on. To say nothing of the other dangers–a wild man whose flesh is carved with arcane wards, young Mongolian eco-terrorists, and, most dangerous of all, an office bureaucrat.

Cecilia Stonecipher’s mercenaries will descend onto this station. But is modern firepower enough?

From Nikki Nelson-Hicks, Rumble is the fifth volume of Cryptid Clash!, a series which pits cryptozoological creatures against each other in fights to the death. Cryptid Clash! features horror, urban fantasy, and military sci-fi luminaries such as William Weikle, Gav Thorpe, David Annandale, C.L. Werner, Nikki Nelson-Hicks, and Josh Reynolds.
