Blurb:
The battle has begun, and old friends become new enemies, and allies become traitors. The Court of Hercandoloff realises that the only way to avert true disaster is attack the instigators of the rising darkness, and that will take a great deal of secrecy and deception. As Arrowsmith returns to Earth to persuade a friend to come to Dargoth, the Wizard-King Blackbird finds himself facing foes alone in his own palace, as the army rides north to the Kingdom of Kirianna.
With the Master Thief blinded and missing, Blackbird sick and injured, and only a matter of days before one adversary is brought back form the dead, plans have to be made, and quickly. There is no chance of real victory, only of a stalemate, and that is with every member of the Court present.
The search for Infamous leads the Court to the dead remains of the holy city of Palaklais, and the Temple of the Creator, but what they find there does not give them hope. The god of madness, SkullDigger, awaits them, as the most powerful of their adversaries, Rhaklan the Damned. The Court is without one of its most important members, and the strongest of their foes have joined forces. The Court has no choice but to fight, after they make plans for their own imminent demise.

Blurb:
Eagle Peak, population 596, has two bars, five churches, and a vibe (or lack thereof) that couldn’t be more different than Sean's native Minneapolis. Moving to rural small town Minnesota, Sean must leave his life of acting classes, going to all-ages shows, and hanging out with friends, to enter into a world of pep rallies, pick-up trucks and country pop.
Sean’s inclination for heavy eyeliner, black attire, and surly attitude make him an easy target of suspicion, intrigue, and prejudice in the small town of Eagle Peak. But despite Sean’s growing sense of dread and depression, small town Minnesota also offers a lot of firsts: he becomes the love interest of three classmates of which one is a closeted gay boy afraid of his own sexuality, he is surprised to discover and chant with a Buddhist family in town, and he gets in the middle of an abusive father and his town jock son. Sean’s old life of theater, live music, and diverse friends collides with his new life in Eagle Peak, and Sean is left confused about what he thought he knew about small towns, the world he left behind, and himself.

Blurb:
What do a biker, a drunk dwarf, a half-elven thief, a wizard and god of insanity have in common? More than a person would think. John Arrowsmith, a lost biker who managed to fall through a liminal between two worlds to land of Dargoth, has reached the City of the White Palace, but his adventure is far from over. The palace has risen, and a number of delegates from all over the land have come to speak with the Wizard-King. Strange happenings give rise to concern, and old enemies are rising from the grave to darken the land once more. Complications, both big and small, combine in a tangled and threatening plot, and only the gods themselves know what is happening. But the gods are not speaking, and when Arrowsmith finally decides (with a little prodding) to ask them, he encounters something that only adds to the tangle. Recovering now from a violent attack by the god of madness, it becomes clear that he and his friends and half-elven lover Infamous are going to have to fight subterfuge with subterfuge. Which begs the question – where exactly does one find a five foot ten inch albino virgin prince…?

Blurb:
Zirkua Fantastic has been running steadily since 1753, amazing its patrons with acts of otherworldly skill and prowess. But that talent comes at a steep price: each artist must give a year of his or her life to the circus. None of them know why, only that the circus' owners will go to whatever lengths are necessary to ensure it. Toby, the hoop dancer at Zirkua Fantastic and son of one of the owners, is content with his life: he enjoys performing and Zirkua's wandering life, and even has a boyfriend among the circus' hawkers. But when a new artist arrives, bringing with him a strange flask and a number of odd occurrences, Toby falls face-first into the truth behind the circus: Its contracts bind King Jester, the immortal embodiment of chaos.
Zirkua's performances and contracts have held King Jester prisoner for centuries, but now something's amiss. King Jester's sister, Dragon, has escaped her own bonds and is working to free her brother, and his power is growing. If he is loosed on the world, it will mean the worst war in human history and the end of civilization... unless Zirkua Fantastic can find a way to stop him.

The Shroud Eaters by Alyx J. Shaw


The Shroud Eaters

$6.99

In this day of modern health and sanitation, few consider vampires more than a charming myth, a sexy little fantasy for when we are home and safe, and the street lamps and house lights keep away the night.  But what happens when the lights fail, and old horrors rise from the grave to show they are no myth?
Deirdre has been a vampire since the 1600s, has seen a lot of history and knows quite a bit about her own species as well. She knows that there are many more types of vampires than the ones seen in movies and on TV. The modern version of the vampire is not an accurate one, and she also knows that being a vampire herself doesn't keep her safe from her own kind. A whisper in a graveyard, a shuffling footstep outside the door, the low, steady droning moan of the mindless undead are all warnings. For centuries she has managed to stay safe, but when she chances to meet a vampire of her own century, she is unaware that a monster is on his trail.
And now that monster is seeking her as well…

The Shroud Eaters by Alyx Shaw


In this day of modern health and sanitation, few consider vampires more than
a charming myth, a sexy little fantasy for when we are home and safe, and
the street lamps and house lights keep away the night. But what happens
when the lights fail, and old horrors rise from the grave to show they are
no myth?

Deirdre has been a vampire since the 1600s, has seen a lot of history and
knows quite a bit about her own species as well. She knows that there are
many more types of vampires than the ones seen in movies and on TV. The
modern version of the vampire is not an accurate one, and she also knows
that being a vampire herself doesn't keep her safe from her own kind. A
whisper in a graveyard, a shuffling footstep outside the door, the low,
steady droning moan of the mindless undead are all warnings. For centuries
she has managed to stay safe, but when she chances to meet a vampire of her
own century, she is unaware that a monster is on his trail.

And now that monster is seeking her as well…

Author Extra:

The town of Cumberland is my hometown where I grew up, and while it may not
be full of vampires, it is certainly full of ghosts and history, and the
tales told by the characters within the book are the tales as I heard them
growing up, and the cemeteries visited are still there, as are the lake and
the houses. The lake is an eerie place, and at night on perfectly still and
silent evenings it will crash as if there is a great storm. Just outside the
town proper, where once stood one of the largest Chinatowns in North
America, there are now silent fields, the houses sunk into the boggy ground.

Of the three houses I lived in when I was growing up in Cumberland, not one
was ghost free. The house on Penrith Avenue gave me relentless nightmares
about men in stovepipe hats dragging my mother to the clay basement. On
Dunsmuir Avenue, I was often too terrified to go to the bathroom at night,
as the house was frequently alive (unalive?) with spectral cats. To this day
I can clearly see then, utterly silent, dodging under furnishings and
vanishing. But the most frightening house was on Sutton Road. Stephen King
could not have created a better haunted house. It was small, built around
the 1920s, and the backyard, I kid you not, was a swamp. Three feet from my
back door was marsh water and skunk cabbage, and, oh yeah, mint. If mint tea
was your thing, you could harvest forty pounds of organic in about 20
minutes. But at night it was dead silent and dark and you could not help but
remember the last inhabitant of that cute little house died there, alone.
And you can’t help but believe in ghosts when something from under your bed
pulls your blankets off in the middle of the night. 

I don’t care if skeptics don’t believe in ghosts. I don’t believe in
skeptics. Ghosts? Oh yeah. Big time.
