Book Title: Mortal Angel 
Genre: Urban Fantasy

Blurb: 
Her death was only the beginning. 


When 18-year-old Mickey, a crass veterinary student and nerd extraordinaire, unexpectedly gets in a serious car crash, she should, for all intents and purposes, be dead. 

She is certainly pronounced dead, and she is soon taken to the mortuary, like a normal dead person should. 

That’s exactly where she finds herself when she wakes up. 

Stuffed in a body bag while a British government agent searches her body for evidence. 

Using powers she never knew she had, Mickey fights back and tries to escape, only to be rescued by Elize, a Tribal Knight who vows to protect her. 


When they meet the rest of the team in a Tribal Knights safehouse, she is shocked to discover that she is now a fugitive hunted down by the Government. 

As she learns about her magical gifts, the secret cold war waged by the Government and The Six Tribes, a society of magic users banished to Earth over two centuries ago, and the high-profile assassinations that broke the fragile peace between them, Mickey realizes her life might never go back to normal. 

Not before the people behind the assassinations are brought to justice and this war comes to an end. 

Then again, maybe change is not a bad thing. Especially when it includes a sword fight or two

Author bio

At a young age, I fell in love with space and time when an encyclopaedia told me that the flow of time is personal. I am now Professor in Theoretical Physics at a research-intense University in England. I spend time with Mathematics and large computers to unlock the hidden beauty of nature. My work has let me spend time at many beautiful places around the globe, where I met interesting people. I have fond memories of Korea, the US, France, and England, where I live now with my wife. We have two grown-up children who have started building their own lives.

My second passion has always been creative writing, but it took a pandemic and a lockdown to get me started. Having a fair share of academic publications, mainly in Physics, I always thought my debut project would be Speculative Fiction or Sci-Fi. To the surprise of my friends, it became a short story in Historical Fiction. No regrets.

Book Spotlight: The Child of Fire and Earth: Fantasy Adventure for 8-12 years by Barry Ryerson

Author: Barry Ryerson
Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
Available in paperback, ebook and audiobook: Amazon.co.uk - Amazon.com (Also free on Kindle Unlimited!)
Signed and personalised paperbacks from author

Synopsis

Hew had always dreamt of being a knight. Take that, villain! Yes, princess, of course I'll rescue you. Thank you, your Majesty, yes I am great with a sword. Unfortunately, being a farmer's son made that dream impossible. Real life was more about cleaning animal mess and checking for weeds.

Until he met the dragon.

It opened up a hidden world of magic around him. Faeries. Hobgoblins. Monsters, shape changers, brownies; you name them, he met them.

But there was a problem.

A blight to the north was making magic fade from the Earth. If it disappeared completely, then everyone would freeze to death.

Yes, that included Hew's annoying little sister, but even she didn’t deserve to be frozen. He would have to be brave and defeat this blight. The question was…

What could a nearly eleven-year-old do?

Author bio

Barry started his career in music technology; using computers to compose music, edit sounds, and mix recordings. After several years of teaching courses from Level 2 diplomas to full degrees, his health took a tumble, and he had to give up teaching. This meant, though, that he had time to write, something he has taken to with passion. He still can't quite believe he's an author. 

He has done a wide variety of random things in his life so far (he has a pilot's licence, performed for 1,500 people at Disneyland Paris, and, technically, is also a ninja) and he sincerely hopes this never stops.

And though she wasn't the son her father had wanted, it was inevitable that one day she would inherit his title.

But Maddy's predictable world is turned upside down when an extraordinary servant girl challenges everything she's ever known; there's a wider world beyond the comfortable confines of her castle, full of wonder and magic, and Maddy finds that the one thing she doesn't have is the only thing she really needs.

Writer Spotlight: Trevor Cunnington, Featuring Some of His Short Stories and Poems!

AD

Welcome to Trevor, a writer and painter who shares his writing on Patreon

About the writer

Hello! I am a writer and artist named Trevor Cunnington, and I'm starting this Patreon to hopefully get some kind of financial remuneration for the thousands of hours I've invested in writing. If you like words and interested in language, I think you will appreciate my poetry. My work ranges from simple to "abstruse," and "enigmatic." I have used quotations for abstruse because I look at this species of my writing not as the delivery of a message so much as a field in which the writer and reader meet and co-create meaning. I really like Billy Collins' idea of readers jet-skiing across the surface of the poem, rather than torturing it to obtain the confession of its "true meaning." Others have called my work enigmatic. I have been heavily influenced by L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry, which was an avant-garde group of writers including Bruce Andrews, Ron Silliman, Hannah Weiner, and Steve McCaffrey. 

My fiction ranges from literary fiction and slice-of-life stories to near-future science fiction. I have written a historical fiction novel, which I hope to serialize here once I build some momentum. Please feel free to request examples of all this various work in the comments of my work. My science fiction novel, which I hope to serialize as well, is about a woman, whose murdered friend's consciousness is implanted in her own (without her permission) by the police in order to solve the crime. 

I would love to do poetry commissions, so feel free to get in touch if you're interested. I used to make 'zines, and I just unearthed some copies (still in great condition) of my last and best one. I sold over 100 copies of it. If you would like to purchase it, it is $3, plus S&H. I will post a couple examples from it. 

Tier 3 patrons will also receive videos of me reading my own work. 

I paint mostly abstract designs with figurative hints and suggestions, using acrylic. I paint on canvas for the most part, although my drawings I do on stiff paper stock with ink. Upon request, I can frame things, but this adds to the price of my canvasses and drawings. My paintings are available for sale. The price ranges from $50-$500. If you want one of my paintings on a T-shirt, let me know. I will only make them on demand, as I have limited space for storage. T-shirts will not exceed $30 in price.

Something Lost

Barrett was famous in the neighbourhood for one main reason. He stole a cop’s gun, and he told those who he trusted, those that cared to listen, because Barrett was something of a loose cannon. So you have to keep in mind this story has been through the ringer at least one time. It was a hot, humid night, the kind when everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief when the sun goes down. But the body is funny. It seems to store heat so that on nights like that, you seem to sweat even more once the sun vanishes, especially if you’ve been walking around in a haze all day like Barrett had.

The Three Sisters have fallen. 
War has come to Arillon. 

The orcs of Ornak have taken the islands known as the Three Sisters, bringing sudden war to the coast of Arillon. Hopelessly outnumbered, an alliance of humans, dwarves, and elves attempts to slow the orcs’ march towards the immense city of Thousand Spires.

This is the question plaguing Sularin general and foot soldier alike. 

Only one person finds herself in a position to learn the answer. New recruit Grail, an elf of the Oruana Kir, is shipwrecked on her way to the front and washes ashore on the coast of Ornak.

Panic attacks that result from PTSD and cPTSD can be debilitating. Research unfortunately falls short, telling those suffering from panic attacks to just "wait for them to be over."

The kidnapping of a child is every parent's worst nightmare, for the Keatings though it isn't a nightmare, it's a reality.

Inspector Stone is tasked with finding Alice Keating and bringing her home safely. Hard enough under normal circumstances, but between investigating an unrelated armed robbery, family problems, and the machinations of an ambitious underling, it's almost impossible.

Unbeknown to either Stone or Alice's parents, the kidnappers have more in mind than collecting a ransom. And when it turns out that the Russian Mafia might be involved in the kidnapping, things begin to spiral out of Stone's control.

Can Stone find Alice before the kidnappers make good on their threats? If not it won't just be Alice that becomes a victim to their deadly plans...

When not writing, he is either playing a game or being distracted by Molly the Yorkie, who is greedy for both attention and whatever food is to be found.
