Rainbow Dragon

By C. M. Barrett

After strained negotiations that include an earthquake or two, the heroes and heroines of Oasis prepare to welcome fairies, dwarves, and other elementals to their land. Though the elementals promise to improve crops, irrigation, and general wellbeing, the Oasans worry about the problems of introducing alien beings to humans who are unfamiliar with their existence.

A rebel faction of fairies and dwarves want more than integration. They call for the annihilation of the human race. They’ve joined with rebellious Earth dragons who fear that the child of Druid, the water dragon, and his mate will be the Rainbow Dragon. Some believe that the Rainbow Dragon will bring peace, but the rebels fear that its birth will signal the end of the world. They steal the egg.

All species of dragons and their cat and human allies unite to devise a plan for disarming the rebels that doesn’t risk the destruction of the egg. They hope to do so without loss of life, but, for the sake of his child, Druid is prepared to die.

Sanctuary's Assassin

By Loren Elias

A healer’s duty is to sustain life, not take it. It seems a fact irrefutable.

Such is the creed of the half-orcs dwelling in the Lot Lands. Sworn to hardened brotherhoods known as hoofs, these former slaves patrol their unforgiving country astride massive swine bred for war.

Young, cunning and ambitious, he schemes to unseat the increasingly tyrannical founder of the Bastards, a plague-ridden warlord called the Claymaster.

He finds himself saddled with a captive elf girl whose very presence begins to unravel his alliances.

The Shopkeeper and the Traveler

By J. D. Hanning

 

The Traveler’s Saga is a tale of fate, prophecy, and legends that spans the course of about twenty years. In the first installment, “The Shopkeeper and The Traveler,” Brianna Moonspirit learns the truth about her identity after losing the only parents she’d ever known. She embarks on a journey from cosmopolitan Seattle to another world and another time, changing her life forever. With the help of an infamous warrior-king from the past, she attempts to fulfill an ancient prophecy and restore peace to present-day Astralmira. Together they embark on a journey of discovery and determination as they travel to other worlds within the Multiverse, as well as through time itself. Secrets eventually reveal their special connection to the Shopkeeper through a most unusual twist of cosmic fate.....

J.D. Hanning was drawn to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and has called the Puget Sound area her home since 1996. Having a great respect for nature, “Hannah” is profoundly concerned about the conservation of our planet, specifically the depletion of forested land and global warming. She urges everyone to reduce their own carbon footprints by spreading awareness about things we all can do to live a sustainable life.

The Traveler's Saga series of fantasy novels explores some intriguing and controversial concepts about time and the universe. This captivating saga was born as the result of a dream journal that Hannah started after having several vivid dreams, as well as experiencing some rather interesting guided meditations. After her son moved out, she had plenty of quiet time to sit down with her thoughts and develop some of her journal entries into a story.

Although The Traveler’s Saga marks her professional authoring debut, she has been writing short stories and poetry for many years. Hannah's mission is to inspire people, specifically women, to believe in themselves and to believe that everyone is empowered to live a fulfilling life. She hopes to inspire others to improve a small piece of this big world for themselves as well as for others and future generations. As a result, her stories depict strong female characters as positive role models with whom young women can relate and respectfully emulate.

The Eyes of Anaskwa

By David Kata Ka La

A troubled man is found broken and unconscious at the foot of a steep cliff by a band of monks who transport him to their home in a remote monastic community that has grown up around the statue of the female saint Anaskwa. The statue emanates a peculiar potency and has a magical ability to bring everyone who gazes into the depths of her eyes, the realisation of the beauty inherent in every living thing and indeed the recognition of their own soul.

Rescued from the depths of despair and drawn into the spiritual life of the monastery this young man finds that the monks, and the town people that they introduce him to, begin to answer many questions for him and after experiencing many challenges and personal loss and confronting his own dark night of the soul he begins to find clarity and vision bringing him closer to a more enlightened perspective on essence of life itself.

The Eyes of Anaskwa is a highly unusual story, fundamentally spiritual in nature, filled with reflections and observations on the ways of those on the path – whether they know it or not – and some of the ways of the earth and the universe in which we live. With echoes of Herman Hesse and Carlos Castaneda this is a mythic tale of reality told by a master story teller with quotes from ancient spiritual books that serve to both intrigue and illustrate the teachings within its pages.....
