Book excerpt: There was a time when the Earth had three moons, and when the seductive sorceress Avalona could alter futures and bend "happentracks" with her spells. Indeed, in this vast chaotic universe called the Greataway, with its many imaginable futures, anything is possible. Especially when Nyneve, Avalona's bewitching human disciple, conjures up the complete legend of Camelot and when the roguish gnome Fang, slayer of the dread daggertooth, stumbles into the human happentrack, causing human and gnome worlds to overlap. For then the moons begin to disappear one by one, and Fang, Nyneve, and all their comrades find themselves caught in a happentrack from which there is no escape, a happentrack in which the legend of Arthur might prove their only salvation...

Download or read book A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana 1500 2000 written by Ann F. Howey and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2006 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotated bibliography of the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, not only in literary texts, but in television, music, and art. The legend of Arthur has been a source of fascination for writers and artists in English since the fifteenth century, when Thomas Malory drew together for the first time in English a variety of Arthurian stories from a number of sources to form the Morte Darthur. It increased in popularity during the Victorian era, when after Tennyson's treatment of the legend, not only authors and dramatists, but painters, musicians, and film-makers found a sourceof inspiration in the Arthurian material. This interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography lists the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, from 1500 to 2000, including literary texts, film, television, music, visual art, and games. It will prove an invaluable source of reference for students of literary and visual arts, general readers, collectors, librarians, and cultural historians--indeed, by anyone interested in the history of the waysin which Camelot has figured in post-medieval English-speaking cultures.

But King Arthur has larger concerns as he watches the society he rules spiralling toward ultimate destruction. Little does he know that the evil Mogan Le Fay has been working her treacherous magic to split the happentracks wide open - a deadly betrayal that could spell the end of Camelot.

Book excerpt: Arcwhistle Goldpulley has everything a gnome technowizard could want and more. He’s just successfully defended his after-post-thesis on harnessing the metamagical residuals of energetic creation and destruction, along with a dramatic demonstration of an application of his theory, one which only blew up two learning halls on campus, and completed his formal education as a master archmage. He is a successful Paratechnologist, a gnomish master of blending magic and science, often to explosive effect. He has developed and licensed many significant inventions ranging from autonomous eyebrow trimmers to anti-light anti-sunglasses. He has contributed significantly to several branches of metamagical thought and theory and continues to do so. He is, in short, a gnome who has it all. But, after graduating with honors for more times than he cares to count from TINKER, the Tellanon Institute of Noetic Knowledge, Education, and Research, Arcwhistle is faced with a problem, one which has no easy answer. What is he going to do with the rest of his life? How is he going live a life with meaning outside school? What is he to do beyond his lab and his research? Where’s the spark? That is until he discovers a new opportunity... the life of a secret agent gnome. Armed with his Paratechnological skills and a not-so-secret identity, can Arcwhistle thwart the efforts of ANGST, a group gnome terrorists Abyss-bent on spreading universal entropy, before they destroy Tellanon, the seat of Paratechnological society, undermine gnomish civilization, and ruin dessert for everyone? Gnomeggedon is a quirky humorous high fantasy story set in the larger Ea’ae macroverse. No gnomes were harmed in the writing of this book.

Book excerpt: Young Mara came to Ambergrove at age sixteen and soon began her Ranger trial. Given the order from the goddess Aeun to set the wheel turning to begin healing that broken world, she sailed to the forbidden lands. Little does she know, the ruler of chaos she was tasked with defeating—who turned out to be her grandmother Gaele—has taken her recent loss in stride. Unity does not come without a price, and Mara has lost her way. A battle rages between family and duty as Mara learns her sister Kara has come to that dark land and fallen in with the very evil Mara set out to defeat. To save her sister, defeat her grandmother, and to banish chaos from Ambergrove forever, Mara must summon strength she’s never dreamed of and fight an enemy beyond her skill. Evil rarely fights fair, and it will take all Mara’s courage to free Kara—and Ambergrove—from Gaele’s poisonous hold. Gaele won’t abandon her cause or release her granddaughters without a fight, but will fighting her grandmother allow chaos to finally seep into Mara, or will she find a new way to move forward? In this final installment of the Dragonwolf’s journey, Mara faces warriors of chaos, discovers magic thought to have been lost forever, learns once and for all what family means, and—for good or ill—the wheel of fate comes full circle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fueled by Tolkien's sweat, Willy Wonka's blood, and Clint Eastwood's attitude." Minutes after being drawn into the Monsters, Maces and Magic world as their characters, the unsuspecting players fell under attack. Kim, having become the warrior monk Byeol, didn’t survive, thanks to a rampaging ogre. But the party’s quest to obtain a Revive the Dead Spell for Kim proved futile. Fortunately, rather than departing, her soul entered the party’s vacant soul gem. Such enchanted gems are rare and valuable. Somehow word of the party’s treasure has reached Black Venom, leader of the local thieves’ guild. He offers the party a deal they can’t refuse: They get Byeol back, he gets their vacant soul gem. If only it was that easy. Nothing of consequence in the Monsters, Maces and Magic world is ever safe. Or easy. Praise for Monsters, Maces and Magic “Ervin’s imagination is fueled by Tolkien's sweat, Willy Wonka's blood, and Clint Eastwood's attitude. A crazy mix to be certain, but a combination that makes for amazing possibilities.” Ray Johnson, LitRPG Audiobook Podcast “Exciting and hilarious! It feels like a true game with friends.” Dueling Ogres Podcast “I was pulled into the world and could see the rules of the world unfold. This really does feel like a game. A fun game that I am going to have to continue.” Casia’s Corner
