But before the day is out an attempt is made on his life and his newly appointed FBI bodyguard is shot. The last survivor of the flight now finds himself alone and on the run for the first time in his life, evading someone he does not know who wants him dead for reasons he does not understand.Fearful of going to the authorities lest his pursuers find him again, his only hope now lies with Doc Minus Two, a rough, gruff failed doctor turned P.I. who lives on the fringes of society and whom even his best friend describes as "the worst character you'll ever meet."

History of Lataria tells about the different races and peoples in Lataria: the elves, dwarves, and vampires. Themes such as power, loyalty, and love are explored as the characters alternately fight with one another and sometimes help one another.History of Lataria recounts the history of a mythological land that has a rich history and culture that includes gods, elves, dragons, and gnomes. The richness of this land consists in the interrelations of these creatures. The history and struggle between good and evil reveals that no setting or character is exempt from the balances and influences of good and evil. Inanimate objects such as the star (which is actually a special rock set in the ground), the fractured star, and the pedestals (in which the star sits), and the key (the item that allows the pedestal to be opened and the star to be broken or stolen), assert how much emphasis is being placed upon physical objects and how these objects maintain power over many people. Read the history of the warriors, vampires, and lamias, and experience how similar or dissimilar human beings actually are to those of different races and ethnicities. The History of Lataria provides background knowledge that leads into the book I published last year called Lamia: A Fantasy. Views: 485

A Greater Kingdom is a short tale of growing up and discovering what is important in life.When Concetta Pianto sang her Il dolce suono, the people on Bokeem slowed to listen.

There are others. A cross-dressing teen, a dutiful wife, and a mutt named Red-eyed Blue suffer, too. But no one ever asks—Why? Views: 485

Winner, 2015 Archambault Prize The year is 1996, and small-town life for 14-year-old Catherine is made up of punk rock, skaters, shoplifting, drugs, and the ghost of Kurt Cobain. Her parents are too busy divorcing to pay her headful of unspent angst much attention. But after she tries a PCP variant called mesc for the first time, her budding rebellion begins to spiral out of control.
