Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient times, when Seni’s World was a united, single kingdom, many prophecies were born. One foretold the arrival of a golden-haired woman with the ability to perform powerful and terrible spells that hadn’t been seen for centuries… …and Allison McNeal’s life was changed forever. Sucked into another world through a “rip” in the fabric of reality, Allison awakens with powerful mage abilities she has no idea how to control and discovers she’s fated to fulfill an ancient prophecy where a single decision will ultimately determine not only which of two warring kingdoms will fall, but also the fate of a world moving closer to a prophesied time of possible annihilation. In a world where many see her arrival as a curse and others as a powerful means towards a dark end, Allison’s only guides are a young Mage-general struggling with his own dark past of secrets and betrayals and the Brothers in Divinity, a secretive order of priests and mages whose only loyalties lie with their god.

Book excerpt: Issai's had enough. For over five thousand years, he has been successively reborn with all his previous lives’ memories intact and relentlessly compelled to wander the earth as though drawn to a point that is continuously changing. Over the centuries, whispers of others similar to him began to surface, and his kind became known as Old Souls, revered by some but mostly creatures to be feared. Unable to find answers for his seemingly endless existence and no longer willing to play in what he fears is just a game for the gods’ amusement, Issai abandons his wanderings and questions and settles in an isolated town, determined to resist the strong urge to be on the move that has dictated his entire existence. However, after a brutal attack by the Shi, a secretive group of fanatics that believe consuming an Old Soul will grant them immortality, he is confronted by Hahri, a loud-mouthed Old Soul who offers him his first hint to the mystery behind their compulsion. Issai not only reluctantly finds himself in pursuit of the answers he had once forsaken but also running from a relentless enemy whose unprecedented numbers suggest that immortality may no longer be their only goal.

Then to add insult to injury, the Temple of Seni sends representatives to Lamia to collect her in order that she may swear oaths to Seni as is required by divine law. The party is led by Eban, a Domnae full of an infinite amount of ambition and utterly despised by Aidric for reasons he refuses to confide to anyone.

The wheels of fate are turning ever so quickly, and Allison feels the threads of her life becoming helplessly and dangerously entangled within its spokes, even more so now as she is exposed to the politics of the Temple, itself.

Book excerpt: After waking to find her teenaged sister at her apartment in California begging to be allowed to stay after running away from home, Allison McNeal thought her biggest problem that day would be to keep her former stepfather from finding out before she could talk sense into her sister, not the series of strange, unnerving incidents throughout the morning that suddenly have her second-guessing her sanity, and especially not the brilliant light that abruptly flashes in front of them when the two sisters are walking in a nearby park as a hole is seemingly ripped into the very fabric of reality, sucking a terrified and screaming Allison within and ultimately into another world altogether. Found within the kingdom of Lamia and suddenly manifesting frightening abilities she hasn't the slightest clue how to control, Allison learns that the locals believe that she's the Golden Mage, a figure of legend with the ability to perform powerful and terrible spells that haven't been seen for centuries and destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy where a single decision will ultimately decide the fate of not only two warring kingdoms-one her new home and the other ruled by a cruel mage-king obsessed with Lamia's conquest-but also a world moving closer to a prophesied time of possible annihilation. In a world where many see her arrival as a curse and others as a powerful means towards a dark end, Allison's only guides are a young Mage-general struggling with his own dark past of secrets and betrayals and the Brothers in Divinity, a secretive order of priests and mages whose only loyalties lie with their god and whose divine laws must be followed above all others. War is swiftly approaching, and if the prophecy is to be believed, only she has the power to determine which kingdom will fall.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
