* THE FIX-IT MAN
John Faron is a natural-born tinkerer who can apparently fix anything. But when he's forced by the actions of a madman to make an unthinkable choice, he soon finds that the one thing he can't mend, is his own broken heart.
Sixteen year old Johnny has a dream. He wants to build an engine that can get a hundred miles to the gallon. While working in his grandfather's fix-it shop, he meets Felicia Delgado, and the young girl steals his heart. Meanwhile, there's a killer hunting down young women and getting away with murder. Years later, when circumstances conspire to tear Johnny and Felicia apart, John is rescued from heartache by a new love. With his dream in sight and his new love at his side, John is ready to put the past behind him and marry. However, the killer now has him in his sights and seeks revenge against John for exposing him to the police. When the killer strikes, his attack leaves John unscathed, but places both his new love and Felicia square in the ravenous maw of imminent death. With a daring, near suicidal act, John may be able to save one of the women he loves, but which one? Will he sacrifice Felicia, or choose to save the woman who brought him back from despair, a woman who loves him more than life. It's an unthinkable choice and its resolution will shape John's life forever.

“What! Ned Raymond ahoy! Heave to, lad. What! dost seek to give a wide berth to an old friend? That once was not your wont. Ned Raymond ahoy, I say!” The slight dark moustache on the lip of the person addressed showed that he had just reached the age of manhood. His raven hair hung in ringlets from his head. A black velvet cloak thrown over one shoulder, and a tightly-fitting dress of the same material and hue, set off his well-made, active figure. His plumed cap and the sword by his side showed that he claimed to belong to the upper rank of society. Indeed, no one looking at the refined expression of his features and his intelligent countenance could doubt that such was his right. Views: 61
“Darien is no longer a lost outpost of humanity, but the prize in an intergalactic power struggle. Hegemony forces have a stranglehold over the planet and crack troops patrol its hotspots while Earth watches, passive, rendered impotent by galactic politics. But its Darien ambassador will soon become a player in a greater conflict. There is more at stake than a turf war on a newly discovered world.
An ancient Uvovo temple hides access to a hyperspace prison, housing the greatest threat sentient life has ever known. Millennia ago, malignant intelligences were caged there following an apocalyptic war. And their servants work on their release.
However, Darien’s guardians have not been idle, gathering resistance on the planet’s forest moon. Knowledge has been lost since great races battled in eons past, and now time is short. The galaxy will depend on the Uvovo reclaiming their past – and humanity must look to its future. For a new war is coming.” Views: 61
A powerful account of a surprisingly forgotten tragedy of the Civil WarA stunning wartime account of human endurance and adventure, and an exploration of just how much the human body and mind can take, Sultana follows several young Union soldiers through the Civil War and what was, for them, its unimaginably disastrous aftermath. We see them enlist and then almost immediately be plunged into a cascading series of wartime horrors: Battle, trauma, prison camp, and, finally, the sinking of the Sultana, the steamboat that was taking them back home.On an April night in 1865, the Sultana slowly moved up the dark Mississippi, its overtaxed engines straining under the weight of a human cargo that included an estimated twenty-four hundred passengers — more than six times the number it was designed to carry. Most were weak, emaciated Union soldiers, recently paroled from Confederate prison camps, on their way home after enduring the violence of war. At two a.m... Views: 61
