Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EVIL FROM BEYOND TIME RULES THE GREATEST EMPIRE ON EARTH! Link, the supercomputer from a future that should not exist, has used terror and gunpowder weapons to forge the Malwa Empire: harnessing the vast manpower of the Indian subcontinent and using the barbarian races of the periphery to bind the whole together. No power on Earth in the 6th century could stand against Link's evil. Aide, a human soul embodied in a jewel, has come back to halt evil's progress. Aide has no power but that of truth, but truth is the only power that could move the greatest general of the age, Belisarius. With his sword, his paladins, and his genius, Belisarius has turned the armies of Byzantium into a weapon capable of blunting the first assault of the Malwa hordes. Now, supported by allies from all the world yet free, Belisarius, with his wife and co-commander Antonia, faces overwhelming Malwa numbers in a ring that tightens about them. There is no room for maneuver and no safety in defeat. The armies of Good and Evil gathered on the fertile plains of Mesopotamia will decide the fate of the world. And the fate of all the future!

Book excerpt: The road to hell is paved with good intentions…and gold dust. When Henry Jenkins’s sawmill business goes bust and his family loses their Indiana farm to foreclosure, he sees gold as the answer to his financial woes. Joining a company of younger men, Jenkins and the other prospective miners sign fraudulent promissory notes to borrow from a ruthless businessman, Allen Makepeace, to reach the gold mines. They sail the risky route via Panama to the mines in 1851. But gold is not so easy to find by then. Making enough to survive and get home will be difficult; repaying Makepeace could be impossible. As Henry Jenkins becomes mired in mining, his wife, Abby, struggles to meet the needs of her large family amidst crop failures, waves of deadly disease, and harassment by Henry’s creditors. When Henry’s sons-in-law follow in his wake, they find themselves on a notorious death ship, stranded in the vast Pacific. Will any of these frantic men make it home to their distressed families? Fortune’s Frenzy reveals the plight of miners who borrowed at extortionate rates to get to California, and explores the dangerous and deadly sea routes to the west coast that killed roughly 10 percent of those who risked the journey. Alternating between the miners’ trials and terrors, and the challenges for the wives, children, and mothers left behind, Fortune’s Frenzy delves into the country’s pressing social, economic, and nationalist issues in the pre-Civil War decades. The theme is age-old, and still relevant: desperate people falling for get-rich-quick schemes. They fail to consider the sacrifices they will have to make and the dismal odds of their success.

Book excerpt: The circus was in town and they had a new clown. Tackey QJohn was dominating the center ring of the Barnum and Gates Interstellar Circus now touring the fringes of the Milky Way spiral arm. It was the opening of the Greatest Show in the Galaxy and some idiot was trying to ruin his walk on. QJohn had just walked into the spotlight in his show master's tailed jacket, multi-colored Afro, red nose, and ultra-tall top hat when another clown stepped up onto the ring row, pulled out a gun, and fired at Tacque Q. Fortunately Trixsey had seen the assassin, raced Pegasus in the air acrossed the ring, lassoed the killer clown from above, and spoiled his aim. QJohn felt a sting in his left biceps, but had enough sense to pulled the long barreled prop gun from his right-side clamp holster, aimed at the killer clown, and pulled the trigger. There was an massive explosion of smoke and sound as QJohn stumbled backwards across the ring and landed on his bottom. The crowd roared in laughter and applauded as the remaining clowns rushed in to the ring and into their acts. Above the laughter, the voice of a child ran out, "Look, Mama! He's bleeding."
