A DEADLY VAPOR OF UNKNOWN ORIGINS ...

Protector of Light, Fiona Farrow, has three new challenges to face: a missing best friend, a power-obsessed demon mage, and a borderline invincible vampire.

After surviving a near blood sacrifice, another of the Sacred Scrolls has been stolen. This time from the head of the Ancient Order of Vampires. But her target isn’t just borderline invincible—he’s incredibly alluring, too.

Her investigation leads her to New York City, where she teams up with two other Protectors to hunt down the vampire faction. Soon, however, Fiona discovers she isn’t the only one looking for the Scroll, and she needs to get to it first … before someone dangerous unlocks its magical powers.

Confronted by every evil faction at every damning turn, Fiona must chose between losing the people she loves most or saving humanity from eternal Darkness.

If you enjoy kick-ass heroines who face down demons, vampires, and shifters, you'll love Rising Light.

At God’s Mercy is a captivating book that is hard to put down. It will take you deep behind the frontiers of human atrocity, where cruelty meets courage, and faith meets fate. Its chilling storyline bites hard at religious establishment and raises hard questions regarding Judaism, Christianity, human nature, faith and existence.

Welcome to High School Dance, the sequel to How to Raise a Good Kid. I’m glad you’re here. This book is the culmination of a project that began shortly after my wife and I welcomed our son to the world. Like most first-time fathers, I felt a new and profound sense of responsibility and immediately became determined to pass along every lesson I believed was important. So even though my pride and joy was only drooling, pooping and sleeping at this point, and was years away from absorbing his dad’s hard-earned wisdom, I refused to let any of those pesky details get in my way.

First, I made a list of the events of my childhood that taught me the most, the ones that made the biggest impressions, both good and bad. This exercise forced me to revisit many harrowing experiences such as batting zero in little league baseball, my chronic addiction to a blanket, my disastrously unsuccessful try-out for the role of Winthrop in The Music Man, and the time I mooned the entire sixth grade. I wanted to let my son know whatever hardship he might face; his father had already been there, learned something of value and survived. I also wanted to let him know about all the fun and joy I experienced as a child and the love my parents showed me.

After compiling my list, however, I realized it wasn’t going to be enough. What if, God forbid, I wasn’t around to tell him the full story behind each enumerated item? I couldn’t bear the thought so I decided to turn the list into a book of stories about my childhood. Over time, the project evolved into two books: one about my grade school years, How to Raise a Good Kid, and one about my junior and senior high school years, High School Dance.

I truly hope you enjoy these collections. Few times in life are more memorable than our school years. Humiliation, heartbreak and failure are abundant, and that’s on a good day. No matter who you are, coming of age is exciting, confusing and sometimes downright dangerous, and I’ve tried to capture both the agony and the ecstasy. My wife and I were fortunate enough to add a daughter to our family in the intervening years and my great hope is that she and her brother will someday read these stories, learn a few lessons, come to know their father even better, and above all, remember how much I love them.

The last English kingdom is on the brink of extinction.

Each Anglo Saxon kingdom is overwhelmed in turn by ferocious, battle-hardened Viking warriors who can strike at a time and place of their choosing thanks to their famous longships.

Viking armies have conquered Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia.

Now they are coming for Wessex and the young king Alfred cannot even rely on his own nobles.

Driven to the remote marshes in Somerset, Alfred must regroup his loyal supporters and organize the fight back.

He finds some unlikely allies: two young Saxon nobles out for revenge and, above all, Constantinos, a Byzantine soldier and diplomat and his bodyguards who all find their own reasons to fight – and die – in someone else’s war.

Viking Storm is the first in an action-packed trilogy that reveals just how narrowly England survived the Vikings, and why Alfred is the only English king known as ‘The Great’.

‘Julian Brazier has shone a light on the Dark Ages and given Alfred the Great the rip-roaring yarn he deserves. This generation has all but forgotten the astonishing achievements of the Saxon King, and how he saved England from a blood-crazed enemy - and re-founded the City of London. Viking Storm is a pacy and suspenseful blockbuster. Alfred lives!’ - Boris Johnson

‘New recruits to the territorial army should perhaps consult a copy of Viking Storm, a racy new novel by Julian Brazier, for tips on how to behave under fire. Brazier displays an alarming flair for describing violent conquest’ – Sunday Times

Educated at Wellington and Oxford, Julian Brazier is the Member of Parliament for Canterbury and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Ministry of Defence responsible for reserve forces. He served for thirteen years as an officer in the Territorial Army, including five years with the SAS Reserves. He is married with three children.

I’ve watched him from afar for years. And he has no idea. I take joy in that.

Through my observations, I’ve learned what makes this charming villain tick.
Whisky.
Power.
Beautiful women.
And Sex. Lots of it.

Sometimes you must get into bed with the enemy for the greater good. And that’s what I’ll do; it’s all part of making Sinclair Breckenridge fall in love with me so I can penetrate his inner circle.

There’s hell to pay.
I’m a dark horse. The perfect storm.
I am Bleu MacAllister. And I’m coming for him.

All of this is true for Linda Darby.

Linda wonders if she might again be lured into her first lover’s bed. As the pace quickens she does find love, along with friendship, fear, danger, and opportunity. Clashes of personality and conflicts between the agendas of the principal characters eventually coalesce in ways Linda never anticipated.

The human race hangs by a thread the thickness of a single gene: RC-714. The gene, which unlocks the millennia of genetic traits stored in junk DNA, gives crops the ability to rapidly evolve and thrive in any environment. But RC-714 is passed on when consumed. Any creature—mammal, reptile, fish or insect—that eats the genetically modified crops becomes a slave to the Change. Bodies morph into unrecognizable abominations. Intellect takes a back seat to ravenous hunger. And all the world’s species eat each other toward extinction.

Racing against this impending outcome, Peter Crane and his family attempt to reach a laboratory in Boston, where a slim hope of saving the human race from extinction exists. But before heading northeast, they must visit the swamps of South Carolina’s Hellhole Bay to find a scientist who can help undo the damage done by ExoGen, the corporation that created and unleashed RC-714. Upon reaching Hellhole, the family is captured by a man named Mason, who not only survived the Change, but managed to keep a small community alive as well—a community that is subject to his every carnal desire and whim.

Trapped in the clutches of a man whose heart is as twisted as the monsters that roam the Earth, Peter, Ella, Jakob, Anne and Alia, must fight for their freedom from a literal hellhole. Danger lurks behind every door, stalks beneath the swampy waters and descends from the sky. As enemies—both human and ExoGenetic—close in, surviving will be harder than ever, and for some, impossible.

In 2015, Jeremiah Knight exploded onto the horror/sci-fi scene with his Top 100 bestselling novel: Hunger. Combining the speculative science of Crichton with the twisted scares of King, Feast continues the story that made Hunger the #1 post-apocalyptic novel.

What do a scarred marchioness, a laundress with a face-covering birthmark, a naval intelligence officer, a woman with dreams of grandeur, and three king’s guardsmen have in common?

Five friends, tied together by true love, duty, or friendship, begin a journey that will change the lives of everyone involved.
.
THE SECRET PRINCESS...
Can a mission to find the missing bastard children of the new prince regent lead to the destruction of the happiness enjoyed by a lowly intelligence officer and his beloved Loyalty?
.
Will the most intelligent officer in the king’s guard be able to find the children, and how does his mission link to the woman he loves with all his heart—or is the link just a hallucination dreamed up by a friend suffering from seizures?
.
THE DISFIGURED MARCHIONESS...
Can a disfigured Marchioness, richer even than a king but hoping for true love, finally find her heart’s desire in handsome Ricardo, a member of the King’s Guard?
.
Ricardo is the son of a merchant, certainly not noble, and more than a little used to winning the heart of any woman he wants. In fact, his friends tease that he changes romances as often as they change socks, especially his best friend, a gruff and aging guardsman with a secret past. He believes that his heart is too wild to be tamed and held by one woman for long, but he’s about to meet the one woman who might change his mind.
Although he’s been assigned to guard Nora, Marchioness du Andres, with his life, nothing prepares him for the assault on his heart.
.
Can the son of a merchant and a woman wealthy beyond his imagination find a way for true love in a world where nobles marry based on everything else, or will he be forced to watch as she gives everything he holds most dear to a stranger who murders her in her sleep simply for her riches?
.
THE SCARRED MARCHIONESS' SECRET LOVE...
What happens when a scarred Marchioness with more fortune than the King desperately seeks a noble marriage to end the threats against her life?
.
Although she loves the handsome guard who has captured her heart, the disfigured Marchioness du Andres is forced to marry another man. The match must be made for security, with the hope that he is not choosing her solely based on her title and fortune, and will likely be without love. However, even with everything that she offers, she knows that the options will be few, especially since so many are plotting to take her life. It is up to her once-ward Alexander, now a King’s Guard, and handsome Ricardo, the love of her life, to protect her—and eventually deliver her into the hands of her future husband.
.
He has trained for years to be able to protect the nobility, but nothing has prepared Ricardo for the idea of giving the woman he loves to a man who may never love her.
.
Can the daughter of a noble family, rich beyond calculation, hope to find love in a land filled with chaos and plots to rob her of her most valuable possession—her life—or will she be forced to marry someone who values only her purse?
.
NO LONGER A PRINCESS...
Can a princess and a marchioness, each scarred and afraid, make a new life on the run with the men they love and the guards who protect them?
.
Can Lady Nora, heiress to more than even the throne offers, finally find safety even as she runs for her life with Princess Loyalty, who must hide from would-be contenders for the throne or will those who seek their lives finally succeed in their unanimous mission?

Falling Fire (Part 1)
Falling Fire (Part 2)

MEGAN KIMSEY, born and raised in a small Colorado town on the edge of the La Plata Mountains, grows up haunted by images. Straddling cryptic glimpses of events that foretell her own future, and events remembered from a past in the highlands of Ecuador and Peru more than 400 years before she was born, she must challenge her Catholic upbringing and the stigma of a mental breakdown following a childhood tragedy, before she can strike out on a quest for meaning.

Megan’s story shifts between present tense and flashbacks that recount her nervous breakdown and grief, when, as a teenager, a child she loves freezes to death on the family’s front porch. And later, when her father, the one person who believes her strange visions aren’t hallucinations, dies in a hit-and-run accident. His death and the belated birthday gift he leaves for her, launch her on a quest to face her phantoms and piece together the riddles in her dreams.

Megan’s journey leads her to South America and an expedition among the remnants of the Inca Empire, and finally, to a wind-swept outcropping high atop Cotopaxi Mountain in search of the frozen child she sees in her dreams. Accompanied by a team of archeologists and an indigenous woman of wisdom who becomes her mentor and guide, Megan must confront her ghosts and claim her own redemption.

In 1945, Stalin imprisoned a team of Nazi scientists and forced them to think beyond the nuke. Now seven decades later, they are finally ready.

A Russian President cornered by sanctions and a Russian Analyst unencumbered by legacies team up to revive Russia's past glory. Thinking beyond the nuke, the duo unleashes a Russian roulette of international intrigue and tomfoolery.

Missing Siberian Tigers, South Beach parties on aircraft carriers, Shenanigans in Pyongyang make this macabre medley a delight for fans of Dr. Strangelove and Burn after Reading.

Parnell Stillman, ace pilot, is man to the bone in a lackadaisical kind of way. He has the ability to fly through anything except solid mountain. He lives alone because people are not to be trusted—especially women. Flying is his high road until one sleet-filled morning--it isn’t. Mischance forces his plane down in a frozen wilderness. He can survive, but his live cargo is another matter--an annoying social worker and five orphans--the most irksome freight he’ has ever hauled in his life.

Rebecca Hollis is determined to force the obnoxious, disagreeable, self-centered pilot to do whatever is necessary to insure the survival and rescue of the orphans…Even if it means making the noble gesture of keeping her mouth shut—or other womanly things. But the pilot isn’t having it. No way. No how. No time. He’d rather dance with a grizzly or wrestle a puma than give his heart over to a conniving, wily do-gooder. Heroics is not his thing. Rebecca Hollis has other ideas—lots of them! All artful and disingenuous—one of which is bound to work… She hopes.

David McBain can do the impossible with one hand tied behind his back...

But miracles take him a wee bit longer.

When retired Army Captain Kenzie Wallis-Manning receives a mysterious package containing an emerald brooch, she has no idea how life-altering the Gaelic inscription is until she's catapulted back in time to England in May of 1944. Her disappearance sends David McBain to the past to find her and bring her back to the future.

The miracle-working David just might have lost his touch when a series of miscalculations lead them into even greater danger, creating havoc and peril for the time travelers. The mission proves even more dangerous when he is pitted against the best interests of his country. Can these two soldiers find their way back to the future before they lose their hearts and more in the most difficult battle of their lives.
