About The Elitist Supremacy (The Elite and the Rogues Book 1):

Alexander Selwood is hiding many secrets. Being the first immortal is only one of them. He is also hunted by the despotic ruler of Cynfor, Cesar Thaxter -the man ruling the galaxy for centuries.

Unknown to Alexander, the group of rebels who had been fighting Thaxter in secret is also seeking to use his company to build a safe haven. He would do anything to keep himself from falling into the clutches of either the Resistance or the Supreme Ruler. When the consequences of his actions cascade into a torrent of events that threatens to engulf him and everyone he cares for in danger, Alexander can’t sit on the sidelines any longer.

Having stayed out of the conflict for this long, he has to make a choice, but can he handle the repercussions of that decision?

About Live Wire: A Novel:

A storm is coming…
In 1993 New Mexico, Black Magic and High Tech find common ground in Medusa Engineering’s Project Dragonfire―and for one endless October night, a fissure opens between here and Elsewhere…

Live Wire, a horror thriller for science fiction fans, begins with four people sequestered in a desert filling station during a freak thunderstorm. Outside, one-hundred-foot electrical towers―miles and miles of them―uproot and stalk the desert. In tandem arrives The Signal, a dissonant machine language that subverts the human mind…harvesting old guilt, shame, and trauma.

Fifty miles down the road at the Very Large Array, the Medusa Engineering Corporation unleashes Project Dragonfire, a bold technological effort that has summoned a ravenous entity from the very fabric of creation—perhaps unwittingly, perhaps not.

Our ensemble includes Pale Brody and his son Caleb, en route to Austin to start a new life; Ken Lightfeather, an Apache trucker with a .44 on his hip; Kwik Gas proprietor Otis Thompson, who assumes the freak electrical storm has spawned the wandering giants; and fast-thinking Nikki Barlowe, who suspects a parallel, sinister operation―led by shadowy Medusa Engineering executive Armand Jenks―is in play.

High stakes and high octane fuel the incendiary action―mass murder and suicide, AC-130 Spectre gunships engaging the VLA in a brutal firefight, electrical towers pulverizing anything in their path, a massive gridwork of steel and feral energy blocking the only route of escape. Old ghosts and unresolved conflicts plague our characters as the signal interferes with their only task: surviving the onslaught.

The night wears on everyone as the electrical towers converge on the Kwik Gas, and only the end of the circuit reveals the nexus of their power. At dawn on Route 60, a final showdown pits human resolve against brute force and inner horror. Will an ancient, shadowless terror find dominion on Earth?

Live Wire is a tight, electrifying novel filled with action at a massive scale, terrors at the intimate level, and revelations of the Universal. If you like your fire hot, your blood red, and your metal mean, then this horror/science fiction hybrid is for you.

About Fall of the Cities: Last Man Standing:

As Caddi’s killers rampage through Orchard Close the usual defenders are helpless, but unlikely heroes make their own stand. As dawn shows the extent of the death and destruction, Harold reaches out to the Barbies. A huge bribe buys medicine and treatment at Beth’s, but that won’t save those too badly hurt to move.

The pyres hold a third of Orchard Close’s residents, many are badly injured, and the General is still out there. Despite the damage refugees still arrive, some of them providing a ray of hope. In death, Caddi gifts the injured a chance at life, but only if the bad girls on the block agree. While eight gangs clash, Harold tries once again to save his love.

Elsewhere the Zoo have a chance to gain allies, but to do so they must risk meeting Conan and his Barbarians. Events around Orchard Close give Sutton Park a respite, while Prof and the SIMS test their new weapons against the Borg. The Cabal launch their final armoured drive to destroy the Reivers, followed by the Specials to process any captives. At the other end of the country, Londoners plan for the day the armour comes for them.

The General is gathering allies, desperate to hit Orchard Close before their wounded can recover. He builds the biggest army seen in the city, nearly a thousand armed men from eight gangs, all determined to crush Orchard Close. The Barbies and GOFS are neutralised, rockets tear holes in the walls, and a saboteur strikes inside Orchard Close, but a depleted Riot Squad step up to face the horde. Outnumbered ten to one they can’t win, but hope the Last Man Standing will pull the General’s Army down with him.

About Till Human Voices Wake Us: A Science Fantasy Novel:

Sometimes the difference between reality and insanity is only a matter of absurdity.

There is nothing Milo Bishop fears more than the thought that he is going insane.

Having grown up hearing his Uncle Jay’s stories about the strange mermaids, Milo never had a reason to believe they were actually true. But when a near-death experience gives Milo a vision of a mermaid calling to him for help, Milo is forced to test his uncle’s claims. And when he winds up in Rasulka, the mermaid community tucked away, deep under the southern California seas, the question of his uncle’s sanity is the least of his concerns.

For in the heart of Rasulka, a growing whirlpool in the ocean-sky and the terrarium’s changing climate — along with a discarded prophecy that says their end will come when humans appear — all suggest that the end is near. Along with his uncle and best friend, Moss, and Eluia, a young mermaid who grew up hearing myths about humans, Milo has only hours to sort through his doubts and insecurities and face down unimaginable terrors if he is going to find his way home — before Rasulka, and everyone in it, is lost forever.

FROM THE BOOK:

“Lani would’ve liked them, you know,” Uncle Jay said, as he slouched back into his chair. “She could appreciate their dedication to their cause.”

“Liked who?” I rubbed my eyes, and then immediately regretted the question.

“The mermaids, of course.”

I shook my head, panic suddenly suffocating me. “Oh, God, not this. Please stop with this.”

“They are calling for us, Milo.” His voice was steady with conviction of the worst sort. Uncle Jay always seemed quite lucid to me, even after I’d grown up enough to know his stories about the mermaid community that lived under the sea bordered on alien abduction levels of insanity.

I covered my face with my hands and shook my head.

Not this. Not again. Not now.

FROM THE AUTHOR:

Fans of Dune, Empire of Lies, Fahrenheit 451, and Till We Have Faces will enjoy this science fantasy thriller with a dark psychological twist.

About Lilith and the Psychopath:

The modern, healthy psychopath (referred to by some as psychosapien) is not the stereotypical, mindless, and often violent criminal sensationalized in folklore and the media. He is more typically intelligent with a character matrix that makes him exceptionally suited to function successfully in today’s multifaceted social environment. He is hard-wired against the often personally enslaving and destructive social pressures of conformity, doublethink, self-doubt, docility, and guilt. He is adventurous, self-confident, often charming, an aggressive calculating risk-taker, and is willing to challenge the status quo. He is the guy you want to be with in a fight and, if he is on the other side, the guy that causes you to give up and go home. The psychosapien is a gift of social evolution to his friends, family, phartry and to free-minded people everywhere. But he is a curse on the mindless, communalist demagogues that populate the upper echelons of every society throughout all of history, spouting exaggerated political promises and mindless slogans to dishonestly solicit loyalty, support, and compliance from the duped masses of underlings. The modern psychosapien has thrown off the shackles of social stereotyping and prejudice that have marked him as a mentally ill societal misfit, and has emerged as an authentic, happy, healthy, self-actualized individual.

Who is Johnny Picaro? If you ask his brother, the prison psychiatrist, and the beach psychologist, Johnny is an incorrigible psychopath, sociopath, or both; his college psychology professor agrees, but adds that he is also the epitome of a healthy psychopath: a psychosapien; his sister sees him as an anti-Christian heathen; his dad confesses Johnny’s delinquent childhood behavior kept them from bonding but he still is very proud of the successful businessman Johnny became; his ex-fiancée who dumped him as a convicted felon and the superior court judge both agree he will always be a loser; but his surfing buddies acknowledge him as the leader of the pack and as tough as a junkyard dog; the soup kitchen nun sees Johnny as a shifty, social chameleon but also as a charming, resourceful, compassionate guy; the enslaved Ukrainian orphan girl knows him as the hero who helped when no one else would; the ruthless Barrio 13 drug honcho and his autistic brother hate Johnny and see him as an impediment to their business model who they intend to brutalize again and then eliminate; his wealthy, aging social-lite employer recognizes him as the tough, smart paladin she clearly needs right now; his renegade girlfriend sees Johnny as the perfect mate who is highly intelligent, self-confident, and an energetic, fearless risk taker who ignores arbitrary authority, and she knows he is enthralled by a girl who, along with her military grade computer hacking skills, really knows her way around a penis. And what would Johnny say? “Kind’a stupid question to ask someone. Who cares what other people think?”

About The Executioners (Four Horsemen Sagas Book 8):

Death comes for us all. Enforcers simply expedite the process.

The Alpha Contracts was the turning point in modern Human history. Of the one hundred companies who accepted the first mercenary contracts, only four returned. These four—collectively known as the Four Horsemen—would go on to become the largest and most successful Human mercenary companies in existence.

But what happened to the people who survived the Alpha Contracts when the rest of their friends and their companies died? Some were subsequently killed by merciless aliens, while others were enslaved. Still more tried to find their way through an unforgiving universe, eking out a living with the hope of one day returning home. Some became legends, while others faded into obscurity.

Juwan Washington, on the other hand, was recruited into something bigger—and more important—than anything he could have dreamed of. Thrust into a clandestine operation to discover the truth about a Peacemaker Candidate’s long-forgotten murder, Juwan and his newfound allies will have their resolve tested in ways unimaginable.

The only question is, can any of them survive it?

When an Enforcer or two can’t do the job, it’s time for the Executioners.

Our government must have a scapegoat and the Oberllyn’s are accused of being traitors. Can we and they survive ecological disaster?

Readers have written:
“I really enjoyed reading this book. I will miss the Oberllyn clan. Perhaps J Traveler Pelton can write another series of books on the Oberllyn clan Hint, hint.�� I thought the book was terrific. It’s a book for those from about 6th grade to the elderly. The Brotherhood rears its ugly head again and endangers the Oberllyn family in a heartbreaking and scary way. Where’s the real US President when you need him? There’s so much danger and suspense. Violet and Noah are getting older and preparing to really retire as the heads of the family this time. When they pass the reign to the next generation they know they won’t be going on the next big adventure. Is there room on the planet for the family or will they look to a future in outer space?”

“:This series is excellent. Each book has the same basic characters .
But, a new twist. Leading to the final book.
Love this author.”
Yet again: “This was a really exciting and fun read! J. Traveler Pelton tells the majority of their story through dialogue, rather than narration, which I think is really unique. It’s not something you come across in most books. The characters are relatable, and they each have their own personality traits and quirks. Once you get reading you really don’t want to put it down. This is an excellent read for anybody whose looking for something different and fun.”

See what everyone is talking about! Newly re-edited, rewritten and given a new cover, Kin and Kin Together Again is a must read for the season.
