Alarums of Reality    - Published February 29, 2012    ISBN 978-82-91693-13-2    The end is the beginning. The beginning is the end…    The once so great Caine Manor has become a ruin, one only fit for carrion birds and revenants. No one but daring children and crazed souls dare breach its confines.    The proud and shiny Caine Manor is an outstanding example of renovated architecture at the heart of the city.    Looking at the building, the house, resembling a castle, hidden in a strange, illuminated mist, squinting your eyes, it’s often hard to tell what’s illusion and what’s real. Reality shifts and burns around the Caine Manor, either ruin or proud house, reaching out with strands of night and fire to the surrounding areas and to existence at large. It is the center, or at least one center, in an ever-shifting world.    Is Chloe Webster dead or alive? Is Marion Dexter? Is Marlon Caine? Or David Fallon Somby? Are they perhaps both? Or neither? What is the world? Is it a brick, a hard, impenetrable wall or closer to something akin to mist and shadow? Existence might make sense, to us, to them, but only in glimpses, only in passing, beyond a corner somewhere ahead. They may wonder. They may die clueless. Because they don’t know, don’t know why terror strikes them and makes their heart beat like a sledgehammer in their chest.    From a place unbound by time and space alarums of reality are reaching out to touch and ultimately engulf them all.       More about Alarums of Reality

ShadowWalk    - Published October 31, 2011    ISBN 978-82-91693-12-5    The world is changing. They know this, in their core of cores, where everything moves and shifts. Night and fire have followed them all the days of their lives.    What they carry inside has always scared them, always intrigued them...    They have always felt different, apart from the crowd. And here, now, they get the confirmation they have always wanted, always yearned for, that they are truly different, a breed apart. The metamorphosis begins. Their minds, their bodies are changing in shocking and unpredictable ways, as what's on the inside is brought to the outside. And as they themselves are changing they are also changing the world.    Danger awaits them, Life awaits them, in the small, backward New England town. Magick and Mystery may be found beneath unturned stones.    People, young and old are descending on the small, insignificant town of Northfield, New England.    Boys and girls, students at the school of Life, Seekers, yearning for what's different, what's hidden.    They're seeking within and without, high and low.    And here, in this dusty, remote place they're finding it, turning the stone, finding the strength within themselves to be themselves, to break out of confines, to the world beyond. And in time, after the initial, tentative steps, pushing down paths new and undreamed of.    And the present day order sees them for what they are... Agents of Change, a threat to any establishment, any imposed reality. The heatwave, the worst in living memory is nothing compared to the boiling within the human heart. The Indian Summer heralds the twilight of mankind.       More about ShadowWalk

The Janus Clan Book One: The Defenseless - Published July 21, 2010    ISBN 978-82-91693-08-8    The two rivers meet and join in the city of Denver, becoming one...    The two dark brothers, growing up with their sister Linda in a mundane, average suburb, a place well entrenched in modern United States and the world, have since their moment of birth been at odds with the world... and with each other.    Mike and Ted Cousin are not who they are. There is a mystery here, one of birth and upbringing, one of fate. Violence and death, blood and fire follow them all the days of their lives. The fire is resting somewhere inside... waiting for the Spark.    Their parents know something, but are not telling. The policeman Mark Stewart and their aunt Trudy do, too. Everybody knows something, pieces of the whole, but nobody knows the whole truth, nobody telling it.    The ancient power is returning to the world, a world massively suffering from physical and spiritual poison, on the brink of collapse and a collective tailspin suicide run without peer in human history. Magick is returning from its long exile. Thus begins the story of the wild beasts rising from their ashes.    The Spark is struck, horrible and terrifying.       More about The Janus Clan

Your Own Fate - Published August 21, 2010    ISBN 978-82-91693-05-7    From The Book of Fate:    In the Book of Fate there is everything. Every incident, all times, everything that has been, that is, that will ever be, everything that might be, everything that could have been.    But who is writing it? Who is penning it? Who is turning page by page, too many to be counted, blowing in the wind? Does it perhaps write itself, with a pen moving across the yellow sheets? Or is it a hand moving the pen, one unseen, one stretching back into the past, back to the time before everything was created, creating itself from nothing?    Timothy Joyce is an enigma, a man without a past, appearing from nowhere, to go on a rampage in an astonished world.    Jeremy Zahn is hunting Timothy Joyce. It seems like he has always been hunting him, from old London, from the island of angels, where it is said they met for the first time, to the city of angels, California, the new world.    Here, on this shaky ground, following confrontations spanning the world, its time and space the two will fight for the last time.    And the world is watching, its people shivering in their frozen hearts.    It isn't what you think. It never is.       More about Your Own Fate

The Janus Clan Book Two: The Slaves - Published November 11, 2010    ISBN 978-82-91693-09-5    Civilization needs slaves, needs cogs in the machine, a braindead population in a world filled with shame, for the machinery to keep working. Everybody is defenseless in a certain sense in present day society, bred to be servants, to be victims, to be slaves.    A group of youths was kidnapped, broken and brainwashed to fit the needs of the Cabal of people calling themselves Abraxas Omega, a clandestine organization working behind the throne, the seats of power on present day Earth.    On the passenger liner M/S Aphrodite, a playground for the rich and powerful. The streets and houses of London. In the American desert. In the highest political and executive offices around the world.    A ghost is hunting the slavers, a specter from the past thought long dead, slowly gaining substance, gaining life. In the city of London the spark is struck, the Burning begins, one that in time will engulf everything, from the deepest sewer to the highest tower.    Ted Warren is born in that seething cauldron.       More about The Janus Clan

Their eyes are open, wide open. They see the world. They see it in every street, every house, see it for what it is, not the fairy tale they have been told, told from birth it is. And the world sees them. It reaches for them with its machinery and its dull claws. The past will not let them go, and neither will the future.    Elizabeth is growing up. She sees the falseness of it all, the reality behind the façade, the illusion. She is looking, looking for the truth of the world and also for the truth behind the mystery that is her life.

Her body is changing, but most of all she is changing inside… into what she has always been.    The Janus Clan has been dormant for decades, but now it is once again, finally, asserting itself in the world, and they… and the world will never be the same.       More about The Janus Clan
