Book excerpt: He, the dim morning star will return, In full blackness of night, When body, power, mind, and soul, Under the fifth moon unite. Years have passed since the Dragon Wars almost annihilated the entire dragon race, and the dark creatures have all but died out, scattered throughout the realm, never to unite as one again. All they have left to cling to is a promise made by Haren ages ago, a prophecy that through a Chosen One the world would once again belong to darkness. Now, this Chosen One has been born in an unlikely, inconceivable form: a unicorn. Gifted with the ability to control darkness through his voice alone, Moonbeam joins an emp called Feo, preparing to defeat and gain one of the dragon hearts, the heart of Azul, the magic dragon. The only thing standing in his way is a Japanese Chin, a small dog who sees the future and knows of his one weakness hidden away. Now this dog, along with two human companions, an elf princess, a lox, and Moonbeam's twin brother, Lionheart, begin an unimaginably difficult journey to stop the unicorn prince before he can fulfill the Prophecy, returning Elath to shadow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amongst the Chinese exists great cultural variety and diversity. The Cantonese care more for profit than face and are good businessmen, whereas Fujian R(r)n are frank, blunt and outspoken but daring and generous. Beijing R(r)n are more aristocratic and well-mannered, having stayed in a city ruled by emperors of different dynasties. Shanghai R(r)n are more enterprising, adventurous and materialistic but less aristocratic, having been at the center of pre-war gangsterism. Hainan R(r)n are straightforward, blunt and stubborn. Hunan R(r)n are more warlike and have produced more marshals and generals than any other province. Pioneers of Modern China is a fascinating book that paints a vivid picture of the unique cultural characteristics and behavior of the Chinese in the various provinces. Using leaders in the modern history of China, such as Sun Yat Sen, Chiang Kai Shek, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao as representatives, it offers an in-depth look into the psyche of the Chinese people. It also pays tribute to writers, painters and kungfu experts, who have helped to develop the country socially and artistically."

The Fifth Moon's Wolf Humanity left Earth several hundreds of years ago. Shifters were among the first to board the space stations escaping from the dying planet. During the long voyage in deep space, mutations changed the paranormal passengers altering their lives forever. As a result, shifters lost their ability to reproduce and enrolled geneticists to ensure their survival. Valentine Lobo is the last werewolf left in all the Coral System. The undisputed leader of planet Lupine, he has been waiting for his genetically engineered bride for centuries. He has no time to court Mirella Canalis, the young woman whom he only sees as a means to an end. After all, her only reason to exist is to give the alpha werewolf an heir.

As he faces demons from his past and enemies from his present, he must fight his most difficult battle yet. Valentine will stop at nothing to save his beloved Mirella, but can love conquer all?
