"A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of skullduggery."–Dave Duncan, author of The Great Game When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.

Veraktalis the Dark Sorcerer has discovered a mystic force he believes will unshackle the wrathful demons Christ chained to the bottomless pit. His plan is to annihilate mankind, causing Christ to abandon the earth, thus freeing all evil from the judgment of God. Standing in the way of those wicked schemes is the paladin, Navarro Silvinton; the silver elf prince, Zakili Terishot; and the barons daughter, Candace Veldercrantz. They face an uphill struggle against deceit and prejudice, an assassin warlord and his army, a fictitious curse, and an onslaught of mighty giants and blood-thirsty monsters. A budding romance between Navarro and Candace confuses the already complicated events. With the fate of mankind at stake, they strive to overcome a threat they can only defeat with the power of Jesus Christ. The odds seem insurmountable, but with God all things are possible.

Scattered Shadows tackles the unseen spiritual world around us while bringing together a known psychiatric condition with the alleged reality of supernatural activity. Joshua Gregory Pierce is a forty-nine-year-old, anal-retentive night manager at Walmart. He sees and hears things that others cannot. Although he recognizes this as a gift, he has kept it a secret even from his closest confidants. Now with the advent of a new girlfriend in his life, Sarah Mickey, that may be about to change. Through supernatural means, Joshua knows of the carnal activities that Sarah's thirteen-year-old daughter, Jessica, shares with her older boyfriend, Terrence Beck, and the demonic activities that they have begun to entertain. How can he inform his girlfriend of this gift or oddity and the twisted knowledge that it brings him? Even when the voices commence to tell him that Sarah's life is at risk, he struggles with this inner conflict. Nonetheless, he is truly happy to see that the eyes of Sarah are not that of a Serpent's but soon discovers, unfortunately, that the eyes of her daughter are. How will he inform Sarah of the pending appointment they share with otherworldly entities from another dimension? How can he share with Sarah about the things he sees and hears without being labeled schizophrenic? How will he convince Sarah that her daughter must be done away? Is it all even possible?
