Book excerpt: Artaria This is the story of Lars, the warrior and hero for throughout the ages. His story begins when he is still, admittedly, an unknown and unimportant boy. On a predestined night the very foundation of his life is broken when two armored warriors arrive on dark steeds to capture him. His home in the forest, the only one he has ever known, is burned to the ground and his grandfather, the only family he has ever known, is murdered. Thus Lars embarks on an adventure across a diverse and fantastical landscape of drakes and wyverns, and of warring nations and errant knights. He will cross from adolescence into manhood. He will meet a prince turned vagabond and the spoiled son of a tribal chief. In the midst of battle he will befriend a gruff swordsman and will be reunited with other friends thought long abandoned. Unfortunately for Lars and for those he will come to know, the adventure does not stop there. An ancient enemy From Beyond the Grave has crossed over to the reality of the living. A mysterious man of impossible years has come to fight on the side of light and life but his means to victory may be so dark and ruthless that Lars does not know if he too is an enemy. And a woman from another world and another era will cross the very stars to find him. Epic in its scope and spanning worlds and history, the Black Phoenix Cycle will take you to the nightfall of an interstellar civilization, and back through time to its pinnacle. And through all the millennia, two enemies will play out a game where the barrier between the living and the dead is ruptured and those closest to them...regardless of love, loyalty, or sacrifice...are merely pawns. The Cycle begins...on Artaria.

Book excerpt: This is the story of Lars and his companions...time-lost and scattered across the Worlds of a fallen empire. A year ago two Black Phoenix warriors appeared out of the dark of night to capture Lars. His home was burned and his grandfather murdered. From there Lars embarked on an adventure across the fantastical land of Artaria. He became a soldier and fought in battle, journeyed the realm with a tribal prince and a wizened warrior, and mourned the death of a childhood friend. All the while an ancient enemy From Beyond the Grave had crossed over to the reality of the living. Aemellion, a mysterious man of impossible years, had emerged from myth and scorn to fight on the side of light and life. And Anna, a woman from another World and another era, had crossed the stellar reaches in search of Lars. Now the story takes Lars into manhood and to another World. But he does not go there alone. Aemellion opened the Gate for Lars. And Anna stepped with him. There is Alikae, the former prince of Artaria turned Brethren hunter. Gallion, the trepid and unfocused Elemantalist. And Sir Sheldon, the Last of the Wyvernknights. They will sail on the endless oceans and traverse the coldest mountains; they will meet new companions and confront old enemies; and as plans unravel and victory eludes them death may be the only choice that remains. Epic in its scope and spanning Worlds, the Black Phoenix Cycle will take you to the nightfall of an interstellar civilization, and back in time to its pinnacle. And through the millennia, two enemies will play out a game where the barrier between the living and the dead is ruptured and those closest to themregardless of love, loyalty, or sacrificeare merely pawns.

Book excerpt: For centuries, the creature known as the Black Phoenix had been silenced by a deity known as the Architect and sealed away from the world. The people soon forgot the power of such a beast and went on with their lives. Cults of the creature always existed, but they were never taken quite so seriously.The monarchy of the realm found ways to supplant the power of the Architect by silencing his representative on earth known only as the Alpha of the Eagle. Now, the power is stirring in a being that the world has deemed "a useless soul." With the growth of the Architect's influence, harnessed in the power of the Alphas, the Black Phoenix readies itself to strike back.Rise of the Black Phoenix combines "On the Edge of Divinity," "The Seventh Alpha," and "The Cry of the Eagle" into one volume, presented in its original concept by the author.

Book excerpt: After spending her life in foster care, Ava has finally found home. But all it takes is a chance encounter with hot nerd Wyatt Wilcox for it to unravel.

But when Cade and Nick show up, claiming to be her brothers, things get even weirder. They tell her she’s a Phoenix, sent to protect the world from monsters—monsters she never knew existed.

Download or read book Ten Points written by Bill Strickland and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the eight million dedicated cyclists in this country, just 32,044 own amateur racing licenses. There's a reason for that: Racing is not only incredibly difficult, it's downright excruciating, with the possibility for public humiliation never more than one pedal away. So when Natalie, Bill Strickland's preschool-aged daughter, asked him if he could win ten points during one racing season -- the bicycling equivalent of taking an at-bat against Randy Johnson or going one-on-one with Lebron James--a sensible man would've just said no and moved on. Instead, Strickland decided to try. In the process, he discovered that he was racing toward the loving home life he cherished and, at the same time, trying to get away from something far worse -- his legacy of horrific childhood abuse. Strickland's memoir is filled with lyrical insights on training and dedication, racing scenes packed with nail-biting suspense, and powerful reflections on the meaning of family. Because for Strickland, it's definitely not about the bike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LitPick Top Choice Book Award Winner Firebird Book Series Award Winner - Series Literary Titan Silver Award Winner Readers' Favorite Honorable Mention Award Winner C.A. Nicholas's magnum opus symphony is about to begin and he's reserved a seat for you. So come on in and I'll lead you to your place of honor as the house lights dim. Yes, your spot is beside the maestro as he teleports you and himself to various worlds! Diverse souls will befriend you there as they reveal the beauty of your life through their stories. Organizations which reside within C.A. Nicholas's imagination are here to review Cycles of the Phoenix, his book of short stories! "As subsequent stories drastically recontextualize former ones, the multi-genre Cycles of the Phoenix universe ultimately reveals itself to be an urgently life-affirming, humanizing, and self-empathic tragedy, as well as a bittersweet tale." - The Atlantis Times "Within one thematically brutal and adult oriented tale that's mostly seen through kids' perceptions, there's an original children's story which allegorizes most of the 'real life' narrative." - The Lake Park Times "This book shows that C.A. Nicholas isn't a poetic storyteller. Rather, he is a poet who creates stories; his tales have the bodies of narratives whose souls are poems, cascading with symbolism, rhythm, dreamlike (including nightmarish) sensory descriptions, events which rhyme with one another, and conventionless form." - The Dry Tortugas Courrier "Though there is some slasher level brutality here, the overwhelming majority of the violence is psychologically graphic within this empathic book." - The Pahokee Post "The author's style seems to be inspired by C.S. Lewis, Edgar Allen Poe, Madeleine L'Engle, and...Vincent Van Gough." - The Passionate Painters' Journal "Cycles of the Phoenix dares to find uplifting messages not only at the peaks of optimism and humor, but in the deepest trenches of raw trauma, grief, and despair."- The Twenty-Four-Hour Nights Dispatch "There are plot driven stories and character driven ones yet even the former variety of tales are rooted in the characters' psychology."- The Creativity Within All of Us Organization Cover art by Schweiz (meigru).
