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.
And then there are the twenty-four hour interludes. Days when she wakes up and cannot recall where she has been or what she has done.
‘Agatha’s Story’ is a taster, drawn from the three books in the Thea Dora Trilogy. Book One, ‘Beyond The Shining Portals’, will be published in 2023. 'The Half-Life Girl' and 'The Angels Fall' are books two and three of the trilogy..

Arctic Lynx
Arctic Lynx Stephen Reeves
An Arctic Druid Short Story
After a week of hunting, Gil spots an arctic lynx. No one in his village has ever killed one. They believe doing so would bring bad luck.
Gil is determined to challenge their superstitions. Surely returning to the village with a lynx will show them he is ready to join the hunters as an adult.
But when Gil finds his village is not as he left it, he wonders if his lynx is responsible.

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.
Hela, Fenrir and Thor all appear in the story.

The Sailor and the Sea Queen
The Sailor and the Sea Queen Charles N Palmer
If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.
- Albert Einstein
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.
From the book 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor'

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.

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?
