Roger crossed the street and walked up to the newsstand, nodding a silent greeting to the dwarfish man behind the rows of magazines and newspapers, watching him finish up with a customer that was asking about a particular magazine’s upcoming issue. As the customer left, Roger sidled up across the magazines from the short proprietor.
“Morning Frank, how’s business?”
Frank gave Roger an easy grin as he put money in his cash drawer, his voice gruff sounding but friendly.
“Could be better, but I’m keeping little Freddie fed.”
Frank was dwarfish to the point that he looked like he should be holding a pick and singing in a mine. He was short and thick and had hair on just about every inch that wasn’t trimmed, right to his knuckles, thick, coarse hair that was curly and wiry. His beard was neatly trimmed, a thick mustache helping it hide Frank’s wizened face. The floor behind the counter of the stand was raised to bring Frank closer to the height of his customers, so he wouldn’t appear quite as short as he actually was.
There was a counter on the back wall of his newsstand, and in the corner at the end of that counter was a cozy-looking little cage with a little hut for sleeping and a little wheel for exercise and a dish with pellets and a water bottle and plenty of comfy chips for a hamster to bury itself in.
But there was no hamster in the cage. Freddie was instead on the counter near the cage, sitting on the opened page of the morning edition, looking almost as if he was reading the article beneath him as he munched on the pellet in his tiny claws.
Roger gave the hamster a grin.
“Hey, Freddie!” Roger’s hand dipped into a pocket and produced a short, thin carrot stick, just Freddie’s size. The hamster looked over and raised his claws as Roger tossed the carrot to sail gently into the stand right in front of the hamster with well-practiced ease, and the hamster caught it with obvious equal training.
“He never misses anymore,” Roger said with a grin.
Frank smirked at the trick. “Yes, be proud; you’ve trained a hamster to catch food,” which Roger dismissed with a soft grunt.
“What’s Freddie reading today?”
Frank glanced over with a deep chuckle.
“I believe he’s reading your story.”
Roger nodded with a smile, knowing it was Frank reading that story.
“So what does he think?”
“A bit gruesome,” making Roger’s eyes roll with a small groan, to which Frank chuckled and continued, “but gruesomely well written.”
Roger grinned. “Thanks; I was proud of my descriptions.”
“Lovecraft couldn’t have been more descriptive,” Frank muttered as he took money from another customer, Roger watching with quiet glee as they grabbed a paper and walked away, making Frank chuckle.
“You just can’t wait for’em all to read that gruesome story of yours.”
Roger leaned closer over the counter, gaze furtively shifting side to side before a low voice queried, “So does it make you nervous that this one was so close?”
Frank just shrugged as he straightened a row of tabloids.
“Cities are dangerous. It’s still more likely that I’ll be mugged and stabbed on my way home than eaten by a maniac.” Then he chuckled. “In fact, I might have been mugged by those two had they not been eaten.”

The Jade Crown, Book I: The Hidden City by Mark J. Donovan
A doomed expedition discovers an ancient secret in the mountains.
Against his better judgment, Garruth – a mercenary – joins a voyage of discovery to try and pass through an unconquered mountain range. The explorers believe they will find the remnants of a long-lost civilization on the other side; Garruth would settle for a few answers.
What they find is a secretive people that prefer their privacy, and are willing to kill to protect it. Yet the ancient sword that the mercenary carries seems to be of interest to this people’s beautiful sorceress, and her promise to help him find the answers he seeks ensnares Garruth in a web of political intrigue, betrayal, and espionage.
Now the mercenary will have to try stay alive in this dangerous place long enough to finally discover what happened to him so many years ago, and what role his invaluable sword played in creating him; and maybe – if he’s unusually lucky – even earn a bit of gold along the way.

The Forbearing Mage: The Adventures of Jack Wartnose by A. S. Norris
They say blood is thicker than water.
Unfortunately, if Jack Wartnose is not careful, it will be his blood proving that axiom!
Still on the trail of the Tome of Time, novice Mage Jack Wartnose is confronted by another spectre of his past – Margaret Stormgale, his estranged and vengeful daughter. When she’s not hounding him with her razor-tongue wit, she’s hunting him with her mother’s razor-sharp spear!
But if grappling with the sins of his past wasn’t perilous enough, the disdainful eye of the Inquisition draws down upon him and his quest. And who should be at the tip of the Inquisition’s spear but yet another of Wartnose’s former “acquaintances.”
With all eyes bearing down upon him, can Jack Wartnose continue his quest for not only the Tome of Time, but for atonement? Or will he fall victim to one of the many foes set against him: his estranged daughter, a jilted Inquisition lover, his suspicious superiors at the Mage Council, a sinister figure now shadowing his quest for the tome… or his none-to-pleased wife?

Magical New Beginnings by Brenda Trim
When life goes sideways, embracing the adventure is the fastest way to set things right.
One day I was just a widow facing the prospect of an empty nest, living a life that was anything but enchanted. The next, I had discovered my magical roots, and my rightful place as the Guardian of the portal between the Faery and Earth.
There was shock. And there was fear. After all, no one plans to start over at forty-five. I intended to grow old with my husband. I thought we’d live an ordinary life. So I’ll be damned if I’m going to waste this opportunity to live in a world I always thought was imaginary.
I’m half-witch, half-faery, and facing dangers as real as the ache in my bad knee. Ibuprofen and caffeine keep me going, and I could do this for the rest of my life. Whoever thinks my family home is an easy mark better take notice: the new Guardian in town isn’t going down without a fight.
After all, she’s already learned to let go of her simple existence and believe in the extraordinary power inside of her. What could possibly stop her now?

Shadow Caster (The Nightwatch Academy Book 1)
About Shadow Caster (The Nightwatch Academy Book 1):
Murdering humans is a huge no-no and comes with an off-with-your-head sentence. Doesn’t matter if you don’t remember doing the crime.
I killed a human, and no, it wasn’t on purpose, but that shit doesn’t matter to the council. I’m facing death. So, when I’m offered a deal to avoid execution, I’d be a fool not to take it, even if it means leaving the human world and urban life behind to enroll in the Nightwatch Academy – a gothic monstrosity hidden from human eyes, located way too close to the largest tear in the fabric of our reality.
It would be fun if I had any inclination of becoming a member of the Watch or supporting the shadow knights at keeping the Formorian threat at bay. But heck, the monsters beyond the mist aren’t my problem. I have personal demons to deal with.
Once I’m out, the Watch can shove it.
But one sip from the ceremonial goblet and my plans to coast are out of the window as my powers spark to life.
I’m an anomaly, one the Watch won’t be letting walk any time soon.
My only comfort is a man who prides himself on his ability to harness pain. Battle scarred and formidable, he’s my tutor, my mentor, and the object of some super saucy dreams. He’s completely off limits and my only hope of surviving my first test.
I’ll need to harness my powers fast.
There can be no distractions.
But when my fellow cadets start going missing then returning with no memory of who they used to be and my best friend is taken, turning a blind eye is no longer an option.
Allies are limited when you’re a freak. Luckily, I don’t need a cheer squad to get shit done. Whoever is responsible better watch out. I’m coming for them, and I’ll be bringing the pain.
The Vampire Academy meets Game of Thrones in this kick-ass, supernatural academy, Urban Fantasy romance with no choosing required.

What readers are saying:
“I’m happy to say that this novel is one of the best and most complex independently published fantasy novels I’ve had the pleasure of reading (it outshines many other fantasy novels in terms of complexity and worldbuilding). One of the best things about the Emperor of Mu is that it’s a surprisingly fast-paced fantasy novel.
The author takes his time to set things up, but he does it with style and doesn’t let the story become muddled with meaningless events and keeps things in motion (although the pacing is delightfully swift, nothing feels rushed in this novel). The author manages to keep the various events intriguing and maintains the reader’s interest in the story by gradually revealing details about the world and the characters. This novel is one of the best fantasy novels independently available for epic fantasy readers and should be read by those who love complex and intricate stories.” – Risingshadow Review – one of the largest science fiction and fantasy book websites
“New names, new ideas, and Jason manages to involve us to the point of initiating a hunger to turn the page and march into the story. Exceptional writing with interesting and always surprising developments makes this an impressive debut for an author of fine potential.” – Grady Harp – HALL OF FAME Top 100 Amazon Reviewer
“This is a book to become immersed in, with its complicated and astute plot, and killer suspense. Throw in some dragons, romance, and bitter rivalries, and you have a well put together story.” – V.E. Amazon VINE VOICE Top 3,500 Reviewer
“Not afraid to be critical The worldbuilding and character-building in this story were superb. I would compare this author’s worldbuilding to the likes of Brandon Sanderson. I truly enjoyed this story, the intrigue, and the realism drew me into the story and kept me turning pages. The plot was unique, and the story pace was even throughout, which is important in such a long story. A long fantasy epic that is certainly worth your time and attention.” – J.
