Book excerpt: Marlene D. Morèl is an emotionally troubled Chinese-American teenage girl growing up in Utopia-Zurich, Switzerland. To avoid her drunk, abusive father, who is the Swiss version of Oscar Wilde and her American mother, a has-been soap opera star, who has no interest in her chubby, slant-eyed daughter, Marlene spends most of her time hiding inside the warehouse, which houses the family business, Morèl Theatrical Costumier. Preferring life among mannequins, props and costumes, Marlene has created over the years, a life of make-believe, where her imagination runs rampant. Trouble is, unbeknownst to her, she's also created an alter-ego named Bad Egg who happens to be a 'toon' and who wants to eliminate Marlene's personality all together. And to make things worse, Bad Egg has also created an alter-ego ego in the form of Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Sex and Destruction who plans on murdering Marlene's abusive father. Between these three out of control personalities, not to mention, Marlene's difficult circumstances with both parents, the poor girl ends up in a mental institution. With the help of a Jungian psychologist named Dr. Karin Sommerfeldt, Marlene D. Morèl's multiple act of misfits finally become solo again. Deflection of Pig-Ponies is a cross between the films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and American Beauty.

Book excerpt: They say in the Outside that Arcade City changes you. It twists and bends you to it’s will, forcing you to become something greater or worse than you ever imagined. At least, those are the rumors. The wardogs who ply their trade in the Outside don’t talk about it much, but it’s apparent from the way they fight and the way they die that something beneath that gigantic Dome happens, and that it is awful. Garth ‘Nickels’ N’Chalez remembers wondering ‘how bad it could possibly get?’. Quite clearly. After all, he’s The Engineer, he’s The Specter, he’s the First Kin’kithal. He laid down a thirty thousand year old con to destroy the Universe in a very specific manner and he’s done battle with things the human mind can barely contain. But that was before Kingsblood. That was before the smoldering Dark Iron curse tried to boil him alive in his own skin and before it tried to give Specter full control of his life. Cruel and vicious and offering up to him the kind of power he craves and fears, Garth has spent most of his time ‘neath The Dome struggling with the passionate urge to lay waste to everything in his path. Desperate to reach Ickford, intent on finding this Agnethea woman who apparently possessed the knowledge to rid him of his poison, Garth can’t wait to be free of both the sludge in his veins and the nattering, cantankerous smith who has been his only companion for too long. At his side, ‘Barnabas the Smith’, who is in truth, King Barnabas Blake the One and Only. Monarch for Arcade City and possessor of unthinkably powerful nanotech, the King has been Garth’s constant companion. Teaching him the methods by which King’s Will can be used to forge the most amazing weapons and tools, Barnabas Blake has also been trying to get Specter to rise up out of the dark places. But that’s all changed. Grown sick and tired of dealing with the mercurial Nickels and his improbable resilience to Kingsblood, King Barnabas Blake tosses Garth ‘Nickels’ N’Chalez to the first Obsidian Golem, Queen Agnethea the Vile, so he might return to his Dome and finally, once and for all, do for the blasted Outsider. And the Queen. And Foul Ickford. And any other damnfool idiot who lives within the cancerous walls. By any means necessary. All so he can begin properly destroying the Universe. Gearmen Dominic Breton and Chevril Pointillier are hot on Garth’s heels, and when they arrive at Ickford, they unwittingly find themselves in the middle of … a situation. One they’re not prepared for. One no one is prepared for. A situation that will change the structure of Arcade City until the very end of it’s days. One that will cause brothers to fight, enemies to stand side by side, hope to falter and blood to boil. It’s the beginning of the end, down there ‘neath The Great Geared Dome, isn’t it just? In the Outside, things are just as awful. Commander Aleksander Politoyov is missing. Tendreel Salingh hunts for answers with her unique powers, drawing the attention of the Harmony soldiers within Latelyspace. Sa Candall hungers for revenge against the Heavy Elites who killed his friend, Shane, and gives the Latelians a weapon that will change the face of combat in the Unreal Universe forever. Chairman Herrig DuPont struggles to keep the Latelian Commonwealth on even ground. Jordan Bishop begins his hunt for Garth, intent on wreaking havoc on the man who ruined his life. The Unreal Universe grows ever more uneasy. Will Garth survive King’s Gauntlet ‘neath The Dome? More to the point, what will he become if he does?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bawdy and fun Steampunk adventure, Poison and Mercy is an alternative history Steampunk spoof that evokes the underground erotica of the Victorian era. Mirroring the debauchery of London’s late 19th century Holywell Street and its outlawed printing presses, Poison and Mercy is a delightfully witty send-up with a fast-paced action-adventure story and characters that readers can’t help but root for. It’s 1885, and the people of London are suffering under clouds of acid while the Thames burns. Nothing has been seen or heard from within the borders of an increasingly belligerent Germany for several years: the Mediterranean is plagued by the Corsair Queens and their fleet of pirate airships, and a dastardly foreign plot to take control of the British Empire is afoot. Who can save the day? Enter Poison and Mercy d’Avalon, a pair of notorious adventuresses with a talent for the amoral, who are hired to eliminate a blackmail threat to a Very Important Person in the royal family. It is task that seems simple enough, but it is one that is soon complicated by murder and the machinations of an implacable and remorseless enemy. Poison and Mercy must endure one scandalous episode after another as their travels take them from London to Berlin to Cairo, and finally to a hidden pit of corruption buried beneath the blazing heart of the Empire’s capital. Imprisoned and stripped (on several occasions). Abandoned and enslaved in the desert. Forced to endure an evening of music-hall comedy. How long can two English roses be denied access to the best shops and restaurants before they start to sharpen their thorns and set about taking their revenge? Not very, apparently.

To shore up the city’s defenses, Detan promises his aunt that he’ll recover Nouli, the infamous engineer who built the century gates that protect the imperial capital of Valathea. But Nouli is imprisoned on the Remnant Isles, an impervious island prison run by the empire, and it’s Detan’s fault. Detan doesn’t dare approach Nouli himself, so his companions volunteer to get themselves locked up to make contact with Nouli and convince him to help. Now Detan has to break them all out of prison, and he’s going to need the help of a half-mad doppel to do it.

Book excerpt: Fair Harbor is a novel by Joseph Crosby Lincoln. Lincoln was an American writer of novels, rhymes and short stories. Excerpt: "The old white horse—like the whisk broom and the Rogers group, a part of the furniture of the General Minot place—plodded along the dusty road and the blue truck-wagon rolled and rattled behind him. Captain Kendrick, settling his invalid limbs in the most comfortable fashion, lay back upon the seaweed and stared at the sky seen through 28the branches of elms and silver-leaf poplars which arched above. He made no attempt to look over the sides of the cart. Raising himself upon an elbow to do so entailed a good deal of exertion and this was his first trip abroad since his accident. Besides, seeing would probably mean being seen and he was not in the mood to answer the questions of curious, even if sympathetic, townsfolk."
