Marc (authorguy) | 54 comments Most of my stuff is mashup. My main work is a fantasy series I usually describe as 'epic fable', or 'philosophy of religion in the form of a fantasy novel'. Currently working on book 4.
Unbinding the Stone
A Warrior Made
Tales of Uncle
Newly released for Halloween is my revision of St. Martin's Moon, for which I can't find a link. Here's the old version. Werewolves on the moon.
St. Martin's Moon
My last novel is a paranormal mystery horror that morphs into fantasy, about a man who kills ghosts for a living. He gets sucked into a murder inverstigation that turns into a monster hunt, and finds he is ground zero for the end of the world.
Ghostkiller
I also have several short stories, combining fantasy and humor.
Chasing His Own Tale
Struck by Inspiration
Boys Will Be Boys
Fantasy librarians
Ex Libris
Christmas and steampunk
Steampunk Santa
Christmas and vampires
Bite Deep
and Interdimensional Survivor
Off the Map

Lance Charnes (lcharnes) | 77 comments Gun oil and sunscreen don’t mix.

Disgraced ex-cop Carson is working off the huge loans her father failed to pay back to a Russian mafiya godfather. So when the mobster asks her to round up Viktoriya Baranova, the wayward daughter of a Russian cabinet minister, Carson doesn’t get to say “no.”

It should be easy. Viktoriya’s splashed all over Instagram as she parties along Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Find her, toss her on an airplane, and send her home to Daddy: no problem, and a chunk of Carson’s debt disappears.

As Carson plunges into the lifestyles of the rich and idle, the world starts going to hell around her. She’s tailed by gangsters. Drug dealers start dying around Viktoriya and her friends. When a hit team tries to kill them all, Carson realizes Viktoriya’s posse is up to way more than scoring likes on social media.

From the megaclubs of Ibiza to the vineyards of Barcelona, Carson’s dancing a fine line between killer raves and raving killers…and the music’s about to stop. Carson has to discover whether anything about Viktoriya is true, or if it’s all a deception – what the locals call engaño.

message 28: by Robin (new)

Robin Craig Clark (rudhek) Heart of the Earth: A Fantastic Mythical Adventure of Courage and Hope, Bound by a Shared Destiny is a timely allegorical novel on friendship, acceptance, and cooperation, speaking for all creatures great and small, offering inspiration and hope in uncertain times.

Societies torn apart. A kingdom on the brink of extinction. Who or what on earth can save the smallfolk of Nemeton from their approaching demise?
A work of magical realism, Heart of the Earth is an enchanting and enthralling story for this age, and in the age to come.

Peter Goodhope is a master of pen and ink, a painter of fairy-tale landscapes. Secret forests, hidden valleys and cloud-covered mountains become inhabited with animals he’d known as a child; owls under moonlight, badgers in the woods at dawn, foxes posturing on the evening hills—human-like in their pose, bringing a magical realism to his work. But when Peter returns home to his childhood village of Nemeton, he soon discovers the charming, once peaceful countryside he so fondly remembers, may be hiding something more maleficent.

Looking for inspiration to begin writing his book, unlikely allies enter Peter's life in the form of woodland creatures, seeking his help to defeat evil poachers decimating the wildlife. Peter must enter their world, learn to speak their language, and prepare the wandering band for an unearthly, climactic battle. Can Peter find the key to their salvation? Does he have the resources to save the animals from their darkest hour and restore peace to the land? The boundary between what is real and what is imagined begins to blur.

One of the endearing qualities of Heart of the Earth is its sense of nostalgia, both for a closer relationship with nature and a simpler, old-time England—a land steeped in Celtic lore and legend.
Heart of the Earth A Fantastic Mythical Adventure of Courage and Hope, Bound by a Shared Destiny by Robin Craig Clark
