It's
a land on the brink of war. Who wins it depends on which side is
stronger: truth or the lies of thousands of years of deception and
manipulation. But whose truth? What lies? That's for you to find out
in the first book of this nine-book series!
When
truth and lies have been used as a weapon. When you fight an enemy
from the past using lies, and truth becomes the weapon with which you
fight that enemy.
The
story takes you to an ancient land under siege. The history of
Keldarra is long but forgotten. A distant past when someone knew the
Wolf Riders would rise. They also knew they would come to an
end.
The
Truth: Words spoken.
Still
spoken to speak a lie.
Marrida.
Alagur.
Each
individual has a reason for wanting change. But can the reasons
co-exist without clashing? Can truth prevail when each of them exists
because of lies? When they discover similarity it reveals a hidden
past, a past that means so much more than either knew.

Netherlands, with roots squarely planted culturally in Britain and
Curaçao. She primarily writes epic fantasy, futuristic science
fiction, mysteries, romance with a twist, and is now venturing into
fairytale retellings, dystopian stories and much more (just keep

Nathalie weaves each world with her own experiences into the
stories, and will touch on various causes and situations that speak
to her...
Apostles
and a man who calls himself the Redeemer … a scenario pointing to
the promised return of Jesus-Christ, except that way above all
prophecies and expectations, no one anticipated a series of miracles
by women worldwide. Faced with the ultimate puzzle, the Vatican
recruits academics Krystelle Vignelot and Guillermo Ricci for help in
understanding the perplexity of the events.
Observers,
protectors, academics, a covert medical facility, a concealed
endeavor, and a gun-for-hire with the self-assigned nickname of Ghost
will clash in the race to demystify the unexplainable, but miracles
are by definition contrary to the laws of nature and attributed to
supernatural causes. And so, allegiances and non-believers alike face
the ultimate test of faith.
But
even the darkest facet of the human heart could not foresee the
events that would climax in Rio de Janeiro, a huge light and sound
shadow that the world would remember forever because of the miracle
ladies.
Jean-Michel
Désiré was born on the magnificent tropical island of Mauritius,
where he completed his primary and secondary studies in compulsory
bilingual French and English languages. An acute love of reading
combined with a great interest in art (drawing and painting) pushed
Jean-Michel from a young age to want to write his own comic books,
but a lack of opportunity blocked his efforts. It was this same lack
of opportunity of the time that triggered a need to perform further
studies. At age 22, Jean-Michel left Mauritius for North London,
England, where he completed a bachelor of Engineering in Electronics
followed by a Master of Philosophy in Microelectronics.
While
concluding his Master’s degree, Jean-Michel met the lady who became
his wife a year later, year during which they also moved to Montreal
Canada where Jean-Michel had been offered an engineering position in
the Aerospace industry. Life had its own agenda, and within the first
eighteen months, their daughter was born in the middle of a snow
storm in Montreal. Six years later, their son came into the world and
the obvious demands of family life became the main priorities.
During
the winter of 2008, Jean-Michel slipped on the ice during a storm and
fractured his ankle in multiple locations. Recovering at home after
surgery, Jean-Michel decided that the time had come to revive his
passion for writing. Within two years, his first book ‘The
Storyteller’s Nights’ was published. The positive feedback from
readers fueled Jean-Michel to exploit his bilingualism and he
translated the story into French, ‘Les Nuits du Conteur’ being
published in 2015. He then felt the wind in his sails and published
‘Fantasy Man’ in 2017, and recently, ‘Revanche (Revenge)’
(the follow-up to ‘Les Nuits du Conteur’) in 2019. ‘Fantasy
Man’ is presently nominated for an award, top ten finalist to be
announced on 22 August 2019. He has just completed his next English
book, entitled ‘The Miracle Ladies’.
Engineer
by day, writer by night, Jean-Michel plans to keep letting his
imagination go wild while capturing it all on paper. Surrounded by a
great family, he plans to write a whole lot more. When he is not
writing, he spends quality time with his family and travels yearly
back to Mauritius to visit his Mom and brothers.

In
1974, top UK band Figgis Green was riding high in the charts with
their blend of traditional Celtic ballads mixed with catchy, folky
pop. One of their biggest fans was sixteen-year old Pippa Gladstone,
who mysteriously vanished while she was on holiday with her parents
in Spain in March that same year.
Now
it's 2018, and founding member Mandy Green has reunited the Figs for
their last-ever Lost Time Tour. Her partner, Tony Figgis, passed away
in 1995, so his place has been taken by their son, professional jazz
guitarist (and amateur sleuth) Jason Davey.
As
the band meets in a small village on the south coast of England for
pre-tour rehearsals, Jason's approached by Duncan Stopher, a diehard
Figs fan, who brings him a photo of the band performing at the
Wiltshire Folk Festival. Standing in the foreground is Pippa
Gladstone. The only problem is the Wiltshire Folk Festival was held
in August 1974, five months after Pippa disappeared. Duncan offers
Jason a substantial sum of money to try and find out what really
happened to the young woman, whose mother had her declared officially
dead in 1981.
When
Duncan is murdered, it becomes increasingly clear to Jason that his
investigation into Pippa's disappearance is not welcome, especially
after he follows a series of clues which lead him straight back to
the girl's immediate family.
But
nothing can prepare Jason for the truth about Pippa, which he
discovers just as Figgis Green is about to take to the stage on
opening night—with or without him.
"A
highly entertaining caper set in a sleazy London underworld...Jason
is a well-crafted reluctant hero, and Kent’s writing is slick and
engaging throughout." - Kirkus
Reviews
The
first time we met Jason Davey, he was entertaining passengers aboard
the Alaska cruise ship Star
Sapphire,
Eight ‘til Late in the TopDeck Lounge.
Then
he came ashore, got a gig playing lead guitar at London’s Blue
Devil jazz club, and gained a certain amount of notoriety tracking
down missing musician Ben Quigley in the Canadian north.
Now
Jason’s back again, this time investigating the theft of £10,000
from a dancer’s locker at a Soho gentlemen’s club.
Jason
initially considers the case unsolvable. But the victim, Holly
Medford, owes a lot of money to London crime boss Arthur Braskey and,
fearing for her life, has gone into hiding at a posh London
hotel.
Jason’s
investigation takes him from Cha-Cha’s and Satin & Silk (two
Soho lapdancing clubs) to Moonlight Desires (an agency featuring high
class escorts) and finally to a charity firewalking event, where he
comes face to face with Braskey and discovers not everything Holly’s
been telling him is the complete truth.
As
he becomes increasingly drawn into the seamy underside of Soho, Jason
tries to save Gracie, his band-mate’s 14-year-old runaway daughter,
from Holly’s brother Radu, a ruthless pimp, while at the same time
protecting Holly herself from a vengeful Braskey—nearly losing his
life, and Gracie’s—in the process.
Notes
on a Missing G-Stringis
the first novel in a new mystery series featuring jazz
musican-turned-sleuth Jason Davey.
Jason
Davey's last job was aboard the Star
Sapphirecruising
from Vancouver to Alaska. Hired as one of the ship's entertainers, he
played guitar in the TopDeck Lounge. You can read about those
adventures in the novel Cold
Playhere.
Now
Jason's back on shore, and he has a regular gig at a jazz club in
London.
Jason's
son, Dominic, is studying film at university. When Dom asks his dad
to help track down a missing musician for a documentary he's making,
Jason leaps at the chance.
Ben
Quigley played rhythm guitar in Jason's parents' folk group Figgis
Green in the late 1960s. And he dropped off the face of the earth
four years ago.
Jason's
search ultimately takes him to Peace River, Alberta - 300 miles from
Edmonton in the Canadian north. And what he discovers there is both
intriguing - and disturbing.
Disturbing
the Peaceis
a novella which introduces readers to professional musician
and amateur sleuth Jason Davey. Jason will soon feature in a new
series of full-length mystery novels, beginning with Notes

that a new kind of superhero emerged, one for whom the lines between
good and evil are blurred. Is he friend? Or is he foe? No one knows
for sure. What they do know, however, is that as a friend there is no

The
amazing story of DragonMan was born at the dawn of the 21st Century,
when the world, about to change forever, watched in disbelief as four
passenger airliners crashed, not only into buildings and a field in
Shanksville Pennsylvania but into the American certainty that the
horrors of the outside world could not touch them at home.
It
was into this world that a new kind of superhero emerged, one for
whom the lines between good and evil are blurred. Is he friend? Or is
he foe? No one knows for sure. What they do know, however, is that as
a friend there is no one better.
In
Ted Lazaris's first fantasy adventure novel, Dragonman, the
Adventures of Luke Starr, the reader was introduced to the likable
Luke and his seemingly normal way of life growing up in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Luke was portrayed as a quiet, average kid plagued by all
the inherent problems of the typical American teen: dealing with a
crush on a girl he's too shy to approach, pesky sisters constantly
poking their noses into his business, bullies at school and exams to
study for. But Luke, readers soon discovered, was burdened by a far
greater weight than any of his peers, as he struggled to come to
terms with his birthright as The Chosen One, savior of the distant
world of Spellville. Not only that but, like hapless Peter Parker
forced to juggle his complex life as Spider-Man while pursuing his
love interest and his not-always-easy career, Luke had to learn to
harness the enormous powers of Dragonman, his super alter-ego, a
persona that regrettably did not come with an instruction manual.
In
this second, action comic-like installment, Dragonman: The Poseidon
Encounter, Luke seems to have come to terms with his legacy and
appears well in control of his superpowers--which he will be called
upon to use this time around to save the world from an evil demon who
seeks to claim the souls of every human being on earth.
The
mood of impending danger is set from the very first page when author
Ted Lazaris takes off his gloves to delivering a knock-out of an
opening scene: Five-year-old Bobby Blakely, running downstairs on the
morning of his birthday, finds not the hoped-for brand new bicycle as
a gift, but rather an enormous blue whale that has somehow "washed
up" in the small lake on his parent's isolated farm. While many
consider the whale's appearance a hoax, others believe it to be a
sign of impending Biblical doom. And it is enough to rouse Luke's
suspicions that worse is about to happen--which it does.
In
a pace that never flags, Poseidon Encounter unfolds in a complex
thread of differing tales, from an old-fashioned detective murder
mystery to a science fiction fantasy, all neatly stitched together by
an intriguing cast of characters, both good and evil and
not-exactly-as-they-seem. An imaginative writer, Lazaris blends
magic, mysticism, religion, and the fast-paced action of the comic
book world into a book that fans of the first Dragonman tale will
find hard to put down.
This
superhero fiction is all about the power of love and faith to
overcome the evil that lurks in the darkness, whether we know it or
not. The superhero fantasy asks the questions we’ve all asked at
one point or another, was life really created the way the bible says?
Or could it be that mankind as we know it is the remnant of a past
civilization which once lived on another planet – or even deep
below the surface of our own? This adventure tackles these questions
with a good sense of unbiased investigation, and at the same time,
opens our eyes to the powerful issue of ‘What If?’
One
hopes and prays they will survive the night, retaining dominion over
their own world. While the other will wage war in ways mankind can
scarcely imagine, in a gruesome fight to end all life on Earth. The
bloody heroic war to determine mankind’s fate, battles between man
and beast, journeys to other worlds, the power of the mind over evil
forces, and the triumph of love.
Why
did the Anunnaki come here? Did they create human hybrids? What is
their plan for earth? And for us, the human hybrids? Why did some;
the original humans (Bigfoot) resist?
Will
we survive what is yet to come? -- Those who look for the truth,
already know -- those that fail to search, are lost -- but those with
an open mind will soon come to know...The Descendants Of Man.
Much
of the story information that was obtained to create this story is

fiction -- You decide.

years ago, Luke discovered that he was the Chosen One of Spellville,
a magical alternate dimension. He used his abilities as DragonMan to
fight against the ruthless Unter. With the help of his

banished Unter into the inescapable Eon Vault. All was well.
Until

A
cat-and-mouse game with no rewards, only consequences.
Our
young hero must quickly adapt to this experiment in terror or watch
his world be destroyed by a god-like being bent on revenge.
Time
is running out, Chosen One. Tick tock… Tick tock…
In
the distant past, long before people populated the Earth, and before
animals roamed the planet, something terrifying and cunning made its
home in the vegetation covering the planet like a soft green blanket.
Lying in wait for millions of years this species continued to evolve.
Patiently crossing over and manipulating the genetic code of
different species. And now, this perfect omniscient being... born
from oblivion, has awakened and is ready to feed... God No Longer
Rules Supreme... IT'S COMING.
The
13th Sign is a chilling journey down a cosmic path, as ancient as
creation itself. And in the final confrontation with the past,
present, and future, The 13th Sign will ultimately determine if life
on Earth will go on, or perish... the future is now in the hands of
those who believe.
Dead
bodies have been turning up all over the place, and the public is
scared as hell. Eight murders in a span of six months, all committed
in the same brutal manner, and still, nobody has a clue as to who
this malicious killer is and the body count is rising.

Starr, a private detective working out of his Milwaukee office with
his two sisters, are busy with less sinister cases at the moment. He
doesn't know it yet but he is the only one who can stop this
relentless psychopathic killer.
When
his girlfriend, Jenny Anderson, a reporter, gets too close to the
truth she finds herself in mortal danger. She
quickly enlists the help of her boyfriend Luke Starr and Homicide
Detective John Logan to not only catch this psychopathic genius, who
is always one step ahead of everyone else but to keep her alive for
the biggest story of her career.
As
the clues unfold, Luke discovers not everything is-as-it-seems. And
what appears at first to be a serial murder spree might just be the
beginning of the end of the human race. Can Luke discover the truth
before it's too late? Time is running out.
As,
author of the DragonMan Series I would like to share with you, my
lifelong struggle with dyslexia.
I
have always struggled with the problem. In school, it was always
terribly difficult for me to read what was right in front of me. And
reading, writing, and spelling still to this day remain difficult for
me. One thing I've learned despite having this learning disability, I
can accomplish my goals, if I don't, get overwhelmed by the big
picture... I just take things one step at a time.
DragonMan:
Face Of The Unknown, authored by Ted Lazaris, who created DragonMan
