Now, the technology of the

a war, fighting for those who

A weekend getaway from New
York City goes awry and
Terrorbelle winds up in Valhalla
where Thor the Norse god of
thunder stands accused of
murder. It's up to the gun-
toting fairy and fellow Nemesis
& Co. agent Rudy to clear the
Valkyrie's father, that is if they
can defeat a biker gang,
outmaneuver a giant serpent,
convince the imprisoned
trickster Loki to help them, cool
down a lust goddess, beat an
evil dwarf, and face down Odin
himself. Will it be enough to
prove Thor's innocence before
Odin's plans to delay the end of the
world are destroyed? Or will they end up qualifying for Valhalla themselves? Only
one thing is certain- The bad guys are about to learn that anything can happen
when FAIRY RIDES THE LIGHTNING. Praise for Terrorbelle: "Thomas certainly
brings the goods to the table when it comes to writing urban fiction...I promise,
you will love... Terrorbelle: Fairy With a Gun. Who doesn't love a well-stacked,
asskicking, gun-toting, woman with bullet-proof, razor-sharp wings that
investigates all manner of supernatural spookiness? I know I do, and Thomas's
humor shows through in every tale. Jim Butcher and Laurell K Hamilton have
nothing on Thomas." The Raven's Barrow "I Love Terrorbelle... She's one badass
fairy gal." -Ida Vega-Landow, The Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society

THE POWER OF LUCK.
Your luck can change in an instant. A flip of a coin can ruin a life, or change it for the
better. But is luck real? A random blip in the space time continuum? The wrath or favor of
a higher power? Is it magic? Is it just a matter of numbers and probability? Can it be
controlled? Luck is elusive, a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Luck is Relative. Good luck.
Bad luck. Hard luck. Your luck can run out, or you can luck out. Is luck truly a lady?

Here There Be Monsters: a Bianca Jones
collection
BIANCA JONES NEVER ASKED FOR HER JOB.
There’s a saying in the Baltimore PD – “Do a job
once and it’s yours.” After finding and fighting a
creature that could not, should not exist, after
saving Baltimore from one monster, Bianca gets
the job of hunting down all the dark things that view
the citizens of Baltimore as either playthings or
cattle. Her allies in this crusade include a gnomish
bookseller who is more than he seems and a crime
scene investigator who wants to be more than just
friends. With their help, Bianca fights monsters
both human and supernatural. But nothing comes
without a price, and the cost of protecting the
people of Baltimore could be Bianca’s life and
maybe her soul. And when the Lord of Hell
threatens to destroy all that she holds dear, Bianca
knows that the only way to save her city may be to
make the ultimate sacrifice.
Baltimore's Paranormal Protector Bianca Jones is back!
Back fighting monsters, demons, and other creatures that
threaten the city and people of Baltimore. But this time the
detective doesn’t have to do it alone. She now has a team
working with her:
Detective Bethany Steele – an experienced homicide detective
who does not like fairies
Lieutenant Tavon Greggs – the head of the BPD’s Quick
Response Team whose answer to supernatural threats is
bigger and more powerful guns
Forensic Specialist Tammy Dolan – a civilian scientist who has
to find new ways to counter ages-old threats
Joe Russo – Bianca’s husband and one true love, Joe is a
bookseller whose relationship with his books even Bianca finds
spooky.
Together Bianca and her team combat witches, genies,
terrorists, would-be gods and a TV Host whose actions might
bring about an interdimensional war of the worlds.
They will have to risk their lives and their souls, overcome
great temptations, and strive to always make the right choices
if they are to avoid destruction and damnation.

For the crimes the police cannot solve For the criminals

One of many brave men and women who have donned

failed, the Nightmare is, in reality, wealthy man about
town Michael Shaw, who hunts the darkness for the
evils, both human and inhuman, that dwell there.

It was a different time …
A time when mob rule had replaced the
law. A time when justice could be
bought and sold. A time when
the city was governed from the
shadows. It was also a time when one
man could make a difference. A man of
courage and determination, a man
willing to do whatever it took in order
to make things right. Frank Devlin could
save the city. But at what cost?
His life – or his soul?

Imagine a world where surgery is no

ability to analyze and repair damage
to the human brain without making a
single incision. You are imagining a
nanobot, a programmable robot
about the size of a single human
cell." - Dr. Sandi Fletcher, Johns
Hopkins University; June 5, 2045.
Special Agent Trace McKnight
imagines a very different world; a
world in which nanobots implanted in
the human brain can be used to
control the actions and thoughts of
their host, turning any man into the
perfect killing machine, even one who
could assassinate the President of
the United States. This renegade NSA
agent infiltrates the lab of Dr. Fletcher to steal her nanomedicine research in order to
develop his mind-control weapon, but soon arouses her suspicions. Fletcher enlists the
help of Baltimore police detective Richie Kincade, and the pair soon find themselves
caught up in a web of espionage that places them directly in the cross-hairs of the
seditious NSA agent, a man feared even by those within his own organization. As
McKnight's plan unfolds, Kincade realizes that he and the good doctor have just been
pawns in a game that neither of them were prepared to play, but that won't stop them
from playing to win.

where magic ruled, a place known as the Wildsidhe.
Far from home and alone, without electricity or running water,
they must learn to survive against all odds. The iron and steel
that crossed over with them is the only thing that can hurt the
Wildsidhers. They must use it, along with their wits and courage,
to fight back against those who wish them harm.
The kids will never stop searching for a way home, but for
now, they are trapped.
The Wildsidhe will never be the same again.

Sometime in the not so distant future...
John Murphy knows a thing or two about lending a helping hand. As a
bartender at Bulfinche's Pub, he's helped the troubled for years. But now a
mad sea god is going to sink New York City. Nobody's going to believe it,
which means millions will die. But thanks to a time traveling message and a
prophecy, leprechaun Paddy Moran has gathered legends together with brave
men and women to form the Startenders, a group like no other the universe
has ever seen. They have built a space station and a fleet of barships and
dedicated themselves to helping others. Murphy himself becomes the head
honcho of the barship Fools' Glory and its crew of tricksters - Loki, Coyote, the
daughter of Pan, a dragon demi-goddess, a golden melog and a sentient plant.
But will even Murphy and the Startenders be enough to save the people of
New York? Or prevent a genocide? Win a deadly game of spikeball? Help
millions of aliens find their way home in time to spawn? Defend paradise? And
most importantly, find the answer to the age old question - why did the chicken
cross the galaxy?
Praise for Startenders from the cast and crew:
"One small book for my son, one giant leap for all bookkind." -Murphy's Mom
"These Startenders are good eggs." -Manuk Manuk, the blue cosmic chicken
who laid the egg that hatched the universe

justice. And Nemesis, the daughter of night herself, fights both the evil in this
world and her own missing memory. Together and separately, they battle for

back to finish the job and destroy anyone who dares stand in his way.

Together they search for the soul. In the process, Negral unwittingly gains a

power. When an old enemy manages to make Negral disappear into the inside

before the forgotten god fades away to oblivion.

ever after. The fables take over humans and manipulate events to reenact
their stories, each time with new, unwitting players trapped in the story
cycle. If left unchecked, the death and destruction escalates to a worldwide
scale. For over a thousand years the duty of stopping them has fallen on the
agents of Templar Mason, known in the days of old as the Knights Templar.
Witch Jillian Anderson is hunting a sorcerer who has found a way to
summon the stories to the mortal plane. She must stop him before the fables
can get a foothold on the real world and end their stories before they end
hers.
PARTNERS IN CRIME
In which we delve into the medieval histories of Fable Investigations as a
young witch tries to stop the legendary Faust and the birth of a dark Fable; a
psychic must determine if an injured vampire is her enemy or someone who
needs her aide; and in a Blood & Bylines tale, vampire tabloid reporter
Angela has to save a Bigfoot from the men in black and maybe play
matchmaker if she can avoid getting killed and make her deadline

By Invocation Only: a Hexcraft novel
THE HEX FACTOR...
The next magí has been found. Someone
with the ability to use every kind of magic has
the potential to be the most powerful person
on Earth. Good, evil, and all points in between
are trying to win the new power player to their
side and not everyone is going to play nice.
The problem is Gary is only a kid.
Hex doesn’t like kids but when a guardian
angel asks the cursed magí and a nun to allow
the powers that be to make pitches to the kid,
they agree to stand between the new magí
and governments, gods, creatures of
nightmare and even the Devil himself. With
his parents missing, Gary will be forced to
make a choice on what kind of person he will
become and it will not only impact the rest of
his life but the world itself.
Hex is going to have his hands full
convincing the powers that be that the only
way they can make their case to the kid is...
By Invocation Only.
Hex In The City…
Hex was born a magi, a mage with the ability to
use every kind of magic, but cursed with pain
and worse for using his powers. Hex dares to
stand between the innocent and the creatures
of darkness – whether they be vampyres,
Aztec gods, elder horrors, flesh-eating babies,
mirror angels or the Devil himself.
When facing those who make you curse the
darkness, sometimes the only way to survive is
to ask for help.
The legend of the man you ask is called
HEXCRAFT.
Cthulhu will one day rise up
to claim the Earth and its inhabitants as his own.
The Great Old One has looked
upon Humankind and found it lacking.
Cthulhu has deemed it necessary
to prepare Humankind for his coming
Thus, Cthulhu now answers humanity’s questions
to help them better themselves.
And now when you are in doubt as to what to do in life, you can ask yourself the most important
question-
WHAT WOULD CTHULHU DO?
In the latest Dear Cthulhu collection, the Great Old One answers letters and gives more good
advice to bad people, tackling topics ranging from after-death love affairs, men who think they are
dogs, women who believe they are witches, adoption, relationships, kitten eating snowmen, how
long children should keep teddy bears, the place of rocket launchers in polite society, and how to
deal with the dread beaver pox.
Here' a sample of Dear Cthulhu's wisdom-
Dear Cthulhu,
My wife and I recently have been getting into trouble with our neighbors and local authorities
because of our decisions on how we raise our children. We’ve decided to go back to a better and
simpler time and raise our offspring as free range children, just like in the good old days.
Apparently, some of our busy-body neighbors object to this and have been having the police
hound us because our children walk to school on their own through our safe suburban
neighborhood. They tell us it’s unsafe, yet there hasn’t been a violent crime reported here in years
and there
has never been a child abduction reported in our town ever.
Do you think we’re doing the right thing raising our children free range?
– Free Rangers In Fredonia
Dear Free Rangers,
Cthulhu is with you one hundred percent. I actually admire what you are doing. In today’s
environment, children are herded in and out of schools and fed all sorts of artificial additives
which really taint their taste. The idea that you are raising free range children is amazing to
Cthulhu. Thank you.
Children are so much tastier when they are free range – I simply cannot tell you how wonderful
this is. And the lack of violent crime helps assure they survive long enough to make it to market.
I’m not sure what age you are planning to sell them off for food, but Cthulhu would like to put an
order in now.
Praise for Dear Cthulhu:
"A crazy fun collection...Great Cthulhu dispenses a sardonic brand of advice that will make you
giggle and snort with horrifi ed glee...some very funny and dark Q & A’s that will have Lovecraft
fans shrieking with laughter."

The very first collection of Dear Cthulhu columns as everyone's favorite monsters dishes advice
and tried to help humanity in spite of itself, proving that Cthulhu's advice can brighten even a
dark day!
Dear Cthulhu,
My boyfriend “Jim” and I have been seeing each other for 4 months. Things have been going
great. Jim tells me he loves me and I know I care for him a lot. Our making out has always been
hot and heavy. Jim’s a great kisser, but lately, Jim’s been wanting to go beyond necking and
petting. I’m just not sure I’m ready to give him my virginity. Jim says if I really love him I’ll make
love to him. My mother always told me if a guy truly loved me, he’ll wait until I’m ready and not
pressure me. My friends all think he’s really hot and I should do him. I’m the only one of my
girlfriends still a virgin, although I have one gay guy friend who still is. What should I do?
-Confused Virgin in Vermont
Dear Confused,
Virginity is a sacred, beautiful thing and any man who would pressure you to destroy such a
rare treasure is a cad you would be better off without. As for your so-called girlfriends, they sound
like a bunch of twits. Remember, it is better to be a leader of men than a follower. The only one
you should ever follow is of course Great Cthulhu. Speaking of which some followers... rather
friends of mine are throwing a ritual sacrifice... um, I mean party shortly when the heavens align.
How would you like to be the guest of honor? We would love to have you. Email me at
virgins@dearcthulhu.com. And bring a dish to pass.
Dear Cthulhu,
I’ve slept with my Teddy every night since I was a little boy, even though my parents say I’m too
old. I’m in kindergarten now. The other morning when I woke up, Teddy was gone. I looked
everywhere but he disappeared. I think the monster in my closet ate Teddy, but Daddy says I’m
wrong. Can you help me?
-Five in Freeport
Dear Five,
Yes, Cthulhu can help you. Your father is correct. The monster in your closet did not eat Teddy. It
was the creature under your bed. And he is hungry again.
Cthulhu Grants his wisdom & Advice to All!
The second collection of the dark, twisted, and funny Dear Chtulhu
columns where everyone's favorite monster proves he truly does give good
advice for bad people!
Dear Cthulhu,
I have a job and a boss that I hate. The slime bag treated me like crap, so I
took my revenge by peeing in his coffee pot every morning. It seemed like a
good idea at the time, but it ended up backfiring on me. It turns out he loved
my “special blend” and couldn’t get enough of it. He told the entire office
and they loved it too. I’m not really sure why, but I am diabetic which is
supposed to make the urine sweet. That or they were all just used to really
horrible coffee. Without telling me, my idiot boss entered my brew in a
contest that Spacebucks Coffeehouse was running to find the best new
coffee. I won and they offered me a ton of money to manage one of their
biggest shops and make my special blend for the customers. I’m torn. I could
use the money and it would be a huge relief to get out of this office. What
should I do?
-A Real Pisser In Pittsburgh
Dear Pisser,
Take the job, but insist on your own private office

Dear Cthulhu,
I am constantly being criticized by friends and even strangers for
breastfeeding my son in public. They all try to tell me he’s too old. I think it
is up to the mother when she stops breastfeeding her kids. Besides, he just
won’t take the formula. I’ve tried and he doesn’t like it. If it helps, my little
one turned thirty-six last month.
—Momma Manning the Milk Pumps
Dear Milk,
Traditionally when the child can open up the mother’s shirt and help
himself to a snack, it is time to cut them off And it is quite possible that your
behavior is keeping him from meeting women his own age to play and
procreate with. If you are interested in grandchildren, I suggest stopping the
feeding immediately. But look at it this way. You have kept your mammaries
going for almost four decades. Maintain that with a breast pump for a while
longer and you may be able to feed your grandchildren as well.

Dear Cthulhu,
I don’t know if you’re familiar with the new app Pokey-A-Guy Go, but it’s
all the rage. You take your phone and it uses the GPS to capture these
mythical creatures on your phone in order to play a game. This game has
changed my life and I don’t even use it. Unfortunately, the program has put
one of the rarest Pokey-A-Guy creatures in the middle of my living room.
Ever since this got out, I’ve been having people breaking into my house day
and night in order to get this Pokey-A-Guy. I’ve called the company and they
had been less than responsive to my requests to change it. It’s running into
serious money. I’ve had to replace my window broken windows seven times
and have even had to get the locks and even the door when it got knocked in
on the door fixed. The police are getting tired of responding to the break-ins.
It’s driving me nuts. What can I do?
– Pokey-A-Guy Pandemonium Sufferer in Poughkeepsie
Dear Sufferer,
The first thing you need to do is shore up your security and get better doors
and lock. Then install video monitors and put up signs stating that you will
prosecute. I know you said you did not have much money but my next bit of
advice will help you to more than pay for it. If these gamers are so fanatical
that they’d be breaking into your home to get this virtual creature, then offer
them the chance to come in and capture it for a hundred bucks each. This way
you get a chance to control the traffic flow and take in some extra cash and
these people get to play their game. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Lost? Scared? Confused? Don't worry because Cthulhu Explains It All!
Dear Cthulhu,
As far as I’m concerned, I’m one of the most accomplished women – no, people – in the
entire history of the world. Why just in the last month I have cured someone of cancer,
won the Boston Marathon, spent time on the international space station, won Nobel Prizes
for peace and for my chocolate soufflé. And modesty forbids me from going into detail
about my threesome with Tom Cruise and Hugh Jackman, but it was hot! The problem is
most people don’t take my accomplishments seriously and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a
woman or because I did it all in my dreams. That’s right, I’m the ultimate dream warrior.
Yet despite everything I’ve managed to do, when I offer people the benefit of my wisdom
and experience, they often make fun of me and ignore what I’m telling them to do. When I
told my one friend they could get rid of her cancer by using stem cells and a hot glue gun,
she looked at me as if I was mad. But she did ask her doctor. That quack said no one had
ever heard of such a thing. When I called Harvard to have them send me a copy of my
diploma, they said they had no record of it and hung up on me when I explained how I
dreamed I had graduated from there with high honors with a dual major in brain surgery
and philosophy. Then the other night when I was out at a five-star restaurant, I snuck back
into the kitchen to give the chef a couple of pointers, telling him that butterscotch and
curry were the keys to making the best duck l’orange that he’d ever taste. You’d think
someone in his position would be thrilled to get advice from someone like me, but no. He
had security throw me out and wouldn’t even give me my food in a doggie bag. So my dear
Cthulhu, as one of the few on this planet who is accomplished as I am, how do I get people
to take my experiences seriously? (Oh and I have some included some pointers for you as
an attachment on how to terrorize and take over the planet. You’re going to love it.)
– Beautiful Dreamer in Buffalo
Dear Buffalo,
There is a reason why people do not take your claims of skill and experience seriously –
they are utter nonsense. In human, dreams are your minds way of processing the day’s
events and dealing with stress. The events of life influence your dreams, not the other way
around, unlike Cthulhu whose dreams can influence the entire world and universe. In fact.
right now Cthulhu might lie dreaming and when I awake you will find that you have been
nothing but a figment of that dream and I will either make you cease to be or live in horror
and terror, depending on my mood that day.

Private Eye Matthew Grace always
believes his clients, tries to anyway.
That's not easy in a city where
almost everybody lies. Grace
should know, he's told a few himself
- always in a good cause of course.
Which is why Grace is no longer a
crime scene investigator and why
Joshua Parker, the last honest cop
in Baltimore, is keeping an eye on
him. Parker is waiting for Grace to
make one last mistake, for his past
sins to catch up with him. In the end
it will be up to Grace to make the
right choices, ones that will lead
either to a second chance or no
chance at all.

World Tree:
An RPG of Species
& Civilization
by Bard Bloom
& Victoria Borah Bloom
Genre: Role Playing Game/
Fantasy/Anthropomorphic
ISBN: 978-1890096106
$29.95
World Tree is a tabletop role playing game
(RPG) written by Bard Bloom and Victoria
Borah Bloom. The game is set in a unique
fantasy world, a giant tree peopled by eight
prime species which can be played by
participants in the game, and by numerous
other sentient species, animals, and plants.
The world is an immense tree, its branches
are fifty miles wide and thousands long,
and their flat upper sides are the home of
civilization. The sides of the branches are
tangled and untamed; wilderness is never
far from even the greatest city.
The World Tree rules system is skill-based, and tuned for flexibility and ease of use. The
character creation system gives players the tools they need to build complex characters from
every walk of life--mayors as well as mages, fisherwomen as well as fighters, unconfined by
arbitrary character classes. The structure of the setting allows for campaigns geared to both
the sophistication of cities, and the wildness of the frontier. The magic system includes both a
large arsenal of standard spells, and a full system for spontaneous improvisation of new
spells. The basic combat system can be learned almost instantly, but advanced tactics are
available to the experienced warrior.

"MARRIED'S A JOB FOR EVERYBODY.
LOVE'S THE LUXURY." The last time
Rajel had seen the her husband and
mari was nearly three decades ago,
when they were married as young
children to secure their titles and their
mutual future. An adventurer doesn't
have much time to think about family, or
love, but when a close call puts things in
perspective, Rajel calls her spouses to
her to begin their married life.
Boragette's grown up as a sweet cosi
who only wants to do the things a co-
lover should: cook, sew, and please
everyone. Casamint's become an
arrogant scholar-bug with no respect for
the rustic life, nor for brawny women
wielding three-handed swords. And
Rajel's a hard-bitten adventurer, more
comfortable with her wild Sleeth companion than with her spouses or country home. They
don't get along terribly well, even though they want to and need to. So, when an enchanter
offers Rajel a nice safe job as a bodyguard in his aeronautical mansion for a few months,
Boragette and Casamint come along too. Though with a beautiful agent provocateur on
board and a village full of monsters outside, it's not quite the simple romantic idyll they
were hoping for.

At the dawn of the twenty-sixth century,
man's definition of life is about to
change. It has been nearly three years
since Captain Danny Stryker helped
stave off the Teconean invasion of Earth.
A tenuous peace has been forged in the
galaxy and the centennial celebration of
2500 is about to begin. The festivities
provide the perfect backdrop for
Stryker's enemies to exact their
revenge. He's framed for the theft of a
top-secret military weapon, and is forced
to flee his home world of Kennedy Prime
in search of evidence that will clear his
name. As his quest begins, an artificial
intelligence life form enters the galaxy
and launches a series of covert attacks
against the Empire. The Teconeans
assume that the Federation is
responsible, and galactic peace is about to unravel. As Stryker chases his nemesis into
Teconean space, he finds himself thrown into the middle of the battle. Knowing that Earth
will be the aliens' next target, Stryker must decide whether to let them destroy the Empire,
or to join forces with his Teconean enemies against the invaders. The key to the mysterious
aliens lies buried on the moon of Kennedy Prime, and it's up to Stryker to solve the puzzle
before war begins. The fate of the galaxy is at stake.

WOMB-ERS (noun, plural)
1 : life forms produced by genetic cloning
using human tissue samples: considered sub-
human, on a par with animals; may be bought
or sold and have no rights as per various
state laws which presently have been upheld
by the U.S. Supreme Court; although some
states accord them full human rights (see
Utah); recently produced Wombers are
typically divided by color (done by full body
tattooing) according to specialty: red (sex),
blue (military/police), green (menial labor)
and orange (research);
IN-NU-EN/DOES (noun, plural)
1 : insinuations, hints; 2 : victims of the
immune system destroying TADS virus, forced to live in sterile environments (called “Bubbles”):
victims have three stages followed unequivocally by death, often from something as simple as
the common cold or the flu.
Two groups of victims: one by birth, the other by circumstances. Both separated and barred from
a full life. Innuendoes longed for a return to what they had: Wombers dreamed of a life they
would never lead. Society was content to section them off from the whole, and make a buck in
doing so... capitalism being still alive and well.
But the victims had other plans...

The Mug Life: a Murphy's Lore After
Hours collection
Evil walks the Earth in many forms,
but so do those who oppose it.
Protecting the innocent & seeking
justice, they fight to beat back the
darkness. Their names are legend or
soon shall be. Welcome To Murphy’s
Lore After Hours.
Doing what’s right and beating back
the darkness. That’s the Mug Life.
In this latest volume, Murphy tries
to help a father find a better end to his
pain then joins forces with a gremlin to disarm a bomb in a
lingerie shop; the NYPD arrests Hex when he’s framed by a
cannibal granny; hitman Vince Argus plays hide and seek with a
target who’s in jail; Sir Dagonet awaits execution yet still stands
between a town and a dragon that threatens to drown them all;
Daye the Daemor learns that not every assassination is easy; the
Pink Reaper must find if the King of Killers is back or if there is a
deadly new heir apparent; Agent Karver of the DMA has a very
bad Christmas and a deadly New Year; Bambi the succubus is
sent to capture a rogue demon loose on Earth; the Phoenixian
enters into a very unusual relationship with a serial killer; Edgar
Tonic and Tommy the jinn even things up with Edgar’s ex-wife;
Terrorbelle searches for her father during the alternate future of
the Mystacaust then faces off against a bovine C-Rex before
heading to Hollywood to stop a blackmailer; and Moni the
Graveyard Angel confronts an unusual graverobber.
The patrons of Bulfinche’s Pub speak out on THE MUG LIFE:
“THIS BOOK HAS MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. A
VISIONARY AND HILARIOUS ROLLER COASTER THRILL RIDE
FOR
ALL THE WORLD TO REVEL IN.” -Murphy’s Mom.
“I WAS RIVETED. LITERALLY WITH REAL RIVETS TO A CHAIR.
Murphy has a weird sense of humor.” -Bubba Sue, gremlin
“BETTER THAN ACTUALLY BEING MUGGED. But not by much.” -
Edgar Tonic, hot dog vendor
Terrorbelle may be one of the
toughest women in New York City...
But she learned everything she
knows in Faerie.
From her brutalization at eleven at
the hands of soldiers who then killed
her mother in front of her, Terrorbelle
has had a rough life. From a child
who wanted nothing more than
vengeance, Terrorbelle grew and
matured, learning discipline,
sacrifice, and honor. She survived
and fought back, becoming a soldier
then a Daemor, one of Mab’s elite
female warriors. Even in her youth,
Terrorbelle fought to protect the weak and free the oppressed
from the tyrant Thandau. Along the way, she learns that the dead
can still love; to always look a ride offering horse in the mouth,
especially when it can swim; that her heart’s desire isn’t all it’s
cracked up to be; on the battlefield and in a trench in the dark,
people are all the same; a diplomatic mission to an underwater
city is no place for someone whose body is too dense to float;
sometimes it is difficult to pick which is the lesser of two evils;
and even when served cold, revenge can still choke you.
Includes bonus Swords of the Daemor tales featuring the
assassin Daye the Deadly, Kande the warrior from Earth, and
Elon the horse!

When Wonderland’s army

tale heroes must face a

Meanwhile, Queen Alice finds

a deadly plot of checkmate

someone from Alice’s past has a
different endgame in mind.
Danger exists for both sides of the battlefield. Will there ever be a Happily Ever
After? Continuing the events from Book I: Queen Cinder, Roy A. Mauritsen’s thrilling
fantasy adventure fairy tale epic, Shards Of The Glass Slipper continues with Book

How will the common man deal with the apocalypse? And how will displaced
humans - returning home from centuries in space - view that which they left behind?
