Child of the Sword
Child of the Sword J. L. Doty
Rat is no ordinary Thief
A small feral child, he steals what he can to feed the gnawing hunger in his gut, though nothing can satisfy the hunger in his soul.
But he has a special talent that the wizards and witches of the clans covet, so Clan Elhiyne abducts him and gives him the name Morgin.
Can he escape the scheming of the clan's calculating and manipulative leader, the matriarchal old witch Olivia?
And as he grows into manhood, can he survive the inter-clan rivalries, and the hatred that smolders between Olivia and her arch-enemy Valso, leader of Clan Decouix?

Agatha's Story
Agatha's Story Charles N Palmer
Meet Agatha.
Agatha is different. Even she doesn’t know how different she is. Agatha has an aversion to water. She carries an oilskin umbrella under her arm. She spends her meagre savings on waterproof shoes.

‘Agatha’s Story’ is a taster, drawn from the three books of the Portals Trilogy. Book One, ‘Beyond The Shining Portals’, is now published.

Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon...
Code of Rainbow: Soaring Flame and the Dragon-transcending Magimal Weiqi Wang
This is the first book of a teen fantasy book series that nurtures the bloom of MAGIC in the soil of SCIENCE - something rarely attempted. The transition from magic to science will be bit by bit, so the early books do read like a "mainstream" magic fantasy.
Soarame has a pair of special eyes. He can see magic elements in this world, which are supposed to be invisible. This enviable gift of his could reveal the truth of the world, but it also puts him in danger.
Many animals in this world possess magic power, so they are called “magimals” - dragons as examples. Soarame fortunately got a baby magimal as his best friend, but they got into troubles together - troubles that were a lot bigger than dragons.
Could they survive?

Loki and the Frost Giant
Loki and the Frost Giant Charles N Palmer
Odin volunteers Loki to assist a mountain village plagued by creatures out of Jotunheim.
Not a challenging assignment until Loki realises that the cause of the trouble is the Frost Giant, Vetar.
And now Loki has a problem, because Vetar's father is Skrymir, Lord of Jotunheim. Loki has long had one foot in Asgard and the other in Jotunheim and has always avoided declaring allegiance.
Worse still, a stranger turns up, and he certainly isn't the lost traveller he claims to be.
And for fans of Norse mythology, Hela, Fenrir and Thor also appear in the story.
This is a complete story.
If you enjoy it, follow the author on Amazon and check out his other books.

When Dead Ain't Dead Enough
When Dead Ain't Dead Enough J. L. Doty
Praise for The Dead Among Us:
--"I loved the humor and the emotions from each of the characters…a fast paced action filled story line" —A.C.
Paul knows wizards, witches, demons and ghosts don't really exist, except in fantasy books.
He's sharing his San Francisco apartment with the ghosts of his dead wife and daughter. But of course they're really just hallucinations, and Paul has concluded that he's just plain nuts.
Then there's Katherine McGowan. She thinks she's a witch. Yah, right!
Boy, does he have a thing or two to learn.
Can he escape the Primus Caste demon from the Netherworld that covets his soul? And what of the Secundus Caste that wants to enslave him?
He's going to have to take a crash course in killing big, bad hoodoo demons, or lose his soul for all eternity.

The Sailor and the Sea Queen
The Sailor and the Sea Queen Charles N Palmer
A mystical tale set in Devon UK.
A powerful female spirit is angered by a father's lack of care for his daughter and determines to make or break him.
- A weather-beaten road ran the length of the moor. In fine weather, Jago and his daughter would take a shortcut along a sheep run, but they never left the road after dark, for it was said.
"Those who stray by night will forever dwell in night."
Then there were the moor-folk. Outlandish people who, it was whispered, stole uncared-for children. The children were never seen again, except in dreams where they wept always.
