Book Description
Junior's misery begins after he tells the boys in his new scout troop a lie about his camping skills. But what starts out as a normal scout trip turns into a hair-raising adventure as the group faces wild animals, and perhaps even worse, girls who like to play pranks. And Junior's adventure is only half the story. As the boys hike, Wild Bill, their scout leader, tells the tale of a storytelling girl named Fannie Fibber and the strange disappearances going on in her town. Junior's own troubles fade into the background as he learns that not only is Fannie forced to wear the frightening Necklace of Honor, but she must also risk a meeting with Swarthog, the goblin king, to rescue the stolen Light of Truth in order to save her fellow townspeople from the Curse of the Putrid Pit. Come with Fannie Fibber as she learns to be brave and honest at all costs, and follow Junior through his own struggle to be accepted, as the story of Fannie Fibber teaches him how to walk in the light. Fannie didn't want to be the goblin king's next barbecue. But things didn't look so good. Her hands and feet were tied with leather straps, and she was perched on top of the slab of rock he used for a throne as the whole goblin nation danced around her and cried: "Toast the human crisp and black, 'til she gives the truth light back!" Their screams echoed in the cathedral-like cavern, the likes of which Fannie had never seen before. Hundreds of goblins with torches and sweaty bodies twisted and jerked around her. Scared, she had to think fast...

Book Description
"Sidewalks have crisscrossed my life like circuits on a computer chip. Only the Master Designer knows where the intricate patterns lead. Some sidewalks still await my feet. Others, I have been dragged over whether I wanted to be or not." (Author) "Cracks" is unique not only because it dramatizes a mother’s abandonment, a father’s oppression, and a stepmother’s brutality, but it also paints a picture of a grandparent’s love and what good parenting looks like. The reader is able to distinguish between the two. Readers can judge between the positive effects of humor and love, and the negative effects of demeaning words and violent actions upon the mind of a child. The book will also engender hope for survivors (victors) and show that the cycle of abuse can stop in their lives, sparing the next generation. The brighter light we shine on maltreatment, the greater chance we have to slow its growth. Child abuse? It’s everywhere.

Book Description
This is a book about God. Not just any god, but the god that created Adam and Eve; the god of Abraham, the god of the Jews; the god of the Christians; and the god of Islam---without a doubt, the most influential figure in the history of human civilization. But what do we really know about him? Who is he? Where did he come from? What does he look like? What sort of character does he have? What, if anything, does he eat? Does he have a family? In what ways can he be said to even exist at all? Alexander Waugh has been asking questions like these for as long as he can remember. Now, having drawn from an enormous range of sources, from the sacred books of the Torah, the Christian New Testament, and the Islamic Qur'an, from the Greek Apocrypha and the ancient texts of Nag Hammadi to the Dead Sea Scrolls, he has sought out the answers. Using material gleaned from the diverse writings of saints, rabbis, historians, prophets, atheists, poets, and mystics, he has molded his findings into a singular, striking biographical portrait of God. Erudite, perceptive, and entertaining, God reveals many startling and unexpected characteristics of the divine being. From the simple stories of Genesis and Job, explored from God's own viewpoint, to the prophecies of Muhammad and Sybil and the intricate philosophies of Newton and Nietzsche, Alexander Waugh has left no stone unturned in his compulsive mission to create a fascinating and complex portrait of God, as humans have claimed to understand him.

Rogan—the aging, jaded barbarian who gave up his throne—painfully realizes that his most storied childhood heroes are fading into antiquity, becoming mere ballads in the eyes of the younger warriors. And he might be next. He stops at the hometown of his idol, but little remains to show of the man’s exploits … until he meets the hero’s daughter, Roan, riding her father’s infamous seven-hundred-year-old horse. Roan has a vendetta against General Tolin La Gaul, who harbors a dark secret. She tries to convince Rogan to join her in riding upon the Citadel of Nosmada in the land of Nod to confront Tolin, but Rogan has no interest in such a dicey plan. That is, until his nephew, Javan, goes missing, presumed captured. Now the Citadel has become a snare, and he has no choice but to spring the trap’s jaws.

Book Description
This is the story of Sebastion. The most mysterious and popular character from Trials of the Bloodstone is back in an epic tale about his very own past and how he became involved with clan Raven and Rose. From his birth all the way up to Sebastion joining the clan, this deep and moving story about a conflicted young Sebastion will shed light as to how he came to be one of the most influential and important individuals within the world of Arator. Sebastion must come to terms with his birthright, and as he struggles with his own inner demons he must also attempt to prevent a mad plot that would cause the most powerful God of Death from gaining a strangle hold on the continent of Anastone. It is Sebastion against the most ultimate evil that the world of Arator knows...what will be his fate? Excerpt: Zevarik chuckled as he saw Sebastion's expressions change while he was putting it all together. Zevarik was so arrogant that he began to confirm all of what the elf was thinking. "Yes Sebastion I am employed Madam Rose and Lord Raven...but only because they are going to be the winning side. They have Morith's direct blessing, and as I began to see at how easily they were dispatching all the troops we were sending to attempt to secure the gem mines I knew who's side I had to be on." Sebastion spat on the ground then said, "You're a traitor to your own people...even dark elves do not betray their own." "Perhaps...but as I am sitting atop my mountain of precious gems and counting my thousands of gold coins I will try my best to feel bad about it." Zevarik said sarcastically. Sebastion's anger and rage could hardly be contained any more. He barked a command word and became fully visible again unsheathing his swords as he did. Zevarik raised a brow as he saw Sebastion raise his blades. Sebastion stared at Zevarik dangerously as he said, "Let's dance."

With his son by his side and an enchanted forest at his back, it'll take all his magic to defend them against monsters and an ancient evil entity that wants to enslave all. Start the epic adventure now! Curse Breaker Books 1-6 features: Curse Breaker Enchanted Sarn wants to be like everyone else, not a mage with a power he can barely control. But he must hide his magic in a country run by people who want to destroy all magic. But that magic comes in handy when he wakes up far from home with only his cloak to protect him from monsters and murderous trees. How will Sarn return home in time and unravel the dark conspiracy that’s destroying it before his son pays the ultimate price? Curse Breaker Darkens When a disembodied voice warns him that a demon is after his mage, Jerlo sets off to find the man who could summon it. He swore an unbreakable oath to protect Sarn, no matter the cost. In a country run by a group that wants to destroy all magic, mages and demons shouldn’t exist. But they do, and Jerlo’s in a fight, not just for his life but for his soul. Even if he risks both, how will he save Sarn without magic? Curse Breaker Faceted Sarn spies on the men responsible for his best friend's death with his young son in tow. And those men are hunting for magic-stealing rocks to fuel a zealot's quest. When their greed leads them into a forbidden cavern, they release an ancient monster, and it's hungry for a certain mage and his son. Who will survive the dark terror lurking under the mountain? Curse Breaker Falls Sarn must face down a legendary evil with only a ragtag bunch of reluctant magical constructs at his side. If he fails, Shayari will fall, and the Adversary will add an unstoppable monster to his ranks. But doubts assail Sarn. He might not be the hero their world needs. In a world where magic is powered by belief, such doubts can have lethal consequences. Will Sarn rise as a hero or fall into darkness, bound to the dark lord he’s fighting? Curse Breaker Sundered Two conflicting promises bind Sarn, even though a monster’s chasing him and an evil entity wants his soul. Sarn must keep both promises or die trying because those promises won’t let him break them, not even to save the son he adores. With the mountain falling down around them and no exit in sight, can Sarn and his son prevail without magic to help them? Curse Breaker Hidden To defeat the ancient monster destroying his home, Sarn must regain the rest of his magic. But unlocking that power won’t be easy with a concussion and an evil entity on the prowl. The dark lord wants his soul, and he'll cheat to get it. But that won’t matter if a priestess destroys their queen and the enchanted forest that protects their home. A country can’t stand without its queen. How will it survive if its last mage falls?

Book Description
In a world where magic is forbidden, Sarn spent two decades concealing his abilities from the Seekers of Truth, just to stay alive. But when monsters threaten his underground city and put his son in danger, Sarn must embrace his power, even if it means risking his own life. Thus begins an extraordinary journey of self-discovery, as Sarn sheds his reluctance and embarks on a quest to harness his magical abilities to battle monsters, ancient evil beings, and cursed objects and elude those who want to destroy him just because he’s a mage. As Sarn embraces his destiny, he evolves from a reluctant outcast to a formidable mage. But along the way, he faces a daunting challenge—how can he earn the trust of his own magic, which has grown resentful of him? Without its cooperation, he can’t shield his son. Is his magic truly sentient, or is Sarn merely imagining its whispers? As Sarn races to unlock the truth, he learns why no mages in the past had access to two different types of magic. But his magic also hates his predicament. Bound by oppressive servitude and entangled in unbreakable promises, Sarn must confront the harsh realities he’s long ignored to reclaim his freedom and protect his family. But he may have waited too long. When his secret son vanishes, he teeters on the edge of losing everything.
