Book Description
Many years have passed since the dark tide of violent and malevolent creatures spilled into the realm from the ancient portal that should never have been opened. Adamar, an elderly but legendary elven swordsman sent to track the incursion, had found a small frightened girl, Lauriel Valendril, hiding in the shattered remnants of her destroyed elven village. After taking her in as his own, he finds that her traumatic experience creates an unrivaled ambition to learn to protect herself and others, and he begins to train her in the ancient and secretive elven fighting style of the Andulari. Through fierce determination and unrelenting practice, Lauriel unequivocally becomes one of his best students and masters the graceful but deadly technique at a very young age. Hearing murmurs of the ancient evil re-emerging, and sensing that his time to stand and fight has passed, Adamar gives Lauriel a gift that has been hidden from the realm for many ages—Isilmwé, an ancient blade of power, and with it, the responsibility to unlock the true power of the blade and defend the realm. The defenses of the realm quickly fall one by one and together with a wizard, warlock, healer, and fighter, Lauriel pushes forward on a quest to close the portal before all is lost. What began as a pursuit to avenge her family, ultimately turns into a battle for the very survival of the realm—a battle that Lauriel has trained her entire life to fight.

Book Description
A satirical cyberpunk romp pitting fascist feudalism against rampant reality television corruption, with the future of humanity at stake "Holohan's prose pops and crackles as he combines an outlandish yet convincing vision of a tech-dominated future reminiscent of William Gibson with the wry wit of Neil Gaiman, and the result proves exceedingly funny . . . Holohan's silly dystopia, replete with ridiculous place names ("Newer York" and "Grander Central Station") and winking acronyms ("Consumer-Responsive Unscripted Drama"), strikes an utterly enjoyable medium between Futurama and Infinite Jest . . . A raucous, engrossing, unsettling whirlwind of a story that is as disarmingly novel as it is disturbingly familiar." —Kirkus Reviews So You Wanna Run a Country? is a satirical parable of the perils of authoritarianism, nationalism, and device-dependent group-think. After almost a century of being shut off from the rest of the world in self-imposed isolation, the neo-medieval statelet of Inner Azhuur suddenly volunteers to host the next season of the global streaming sensation So You Wanna Run a Country? The producers must now assemble the next crew of unqualified misfits whose ineptitude as they attempt to run the country will entertain millions across the globe. From Newer York, where homelessness has been rebranded as a lifestyle choice, come our two heroes: Mooney, a vagabond who has pledged his fate to Captain Dude, a mysterious statue attached to a skateboard; and Wendy, a Wall Street rebel on the run. Cast as Regent of Inner Azhuur and Consort to the Regent respectively, they are joined by Skid, a failed Dubliner musician eager to escape his job as a staged street gang member in a fake Glasgow tourist site. Arriving to Inner Azhuur, these three encounter a world of antiquated and indecipherable customs, all meant to return Inner Azhuur to some perceived former glory. As the reality show unfolds, our misfits become enmeshed in a mad power grab of overweening global ambition and find themselves in a struggle against the all-too-real, ruthless, and sinister power brokers of Inner Azhuur. Holohan’s mischievous literary voice is sure to please fans of cyberpunk greats like Philip K. Dick and William Gibson.

“For the back cover” The Story of Dragon Rider Tal'on After I had died on Earth as a seventy-plus-year-old man, I was brought to Antaera as a twenty-year-old. My life changed drastically from that point on. Everything that I knew was gone, my family and friends, everything. The upside was that there were dragons to ride, and one wanted me to be his Rider. I had to go back to school as a seventy-plus-year-old. At least in my mind I was still seventy-plus even if I looked twenty. I had to learn a new world history and a new culture. I also had to learn a new way of life with new customs, with new rules, different laws, everything. After all, I was on a new world. As it turned out, I was going to be a strong mage in this world, so I also had to learn how to use my magic. My dragon had told me that he wanted me to buy some special horses. They were elven-bred and have magic. They know how they want for a Rider and will not let anyone else ride them. The Great Draycon the Red was the dragon that had sent Rider To'od to Earth to bring me back to Antaera to be his Rider. I was to be his second Rider. His first Rider had died two hundred seasons (years) ago. There was a war coming, but that was still a ways in the future yet, so we still had time to prepare for that war. Draycon had put out the call to war to all the riderless dragons on Antaera. He told them that they should pick a Hold and a new Rider and to start getting ready for this new war. Draycon had brought at least one hundred older dragons with him when he came to claim me as his new Rider. I hope that you enjoy this story. 2
