ABOUT THE BOOK The War of the Western Pagans was over. Mattias Denson has withdrawn to his home in the Compound in the Southern Kingdom and exercises sovereignty over the Seven Realms, including the Memmet Valley and the entirety of the northern plains. His wives and consorts have likewise settled down, and he is once again a father - many times over. Life is peaceful and happy. Yet ... Not all of his wives are content with the quiet life and, like Mattias, seek relief from the boredom of peace and quiet, remembering the thrill of conflict, battle and war. They are still young, and their lives are not yet fulfilled. Like Mattias, they see further adventure. That opportunity comes in the form of a call from a mysterious western queen seeking his help in ending a possible foreign and civil war. She seeks his aid as mediator and more. Though knowing little of her or her kingdom, he readily accepts the invitation to visit Frijia, the kingdom to the west of the defeated Kingdom of Dar Galan. With his wives and children reluctantly following him, he first visits Galana Prima, the capital of Dar Galan, where he encounters the warlock prince, Lord Mestin Marlat. He first encounters wiccan arrogance and betrayal, then treason from his own witches, causing a rift in the family. From that point, Mattias and his family have each made fateful decisions. They part ways in anger, with Mattias moving west to the Kingdom of Frijia to meet its queen, Lady Freyja, while Mattias's family returns to the Compound. Conflict with the warlock east in Mortem, capital of the ancient caste warlock empire, begins with the first issues arising between Mattias Denson and Emperor Q'in. Mattias continues west as new trouble, as yet unknown to Mattias, foments in the east. Treason and betrayal, war and conflict litter the pages of Freyja Thorsdottir, as matters culminate and redefine the direction of the Chronicles of Mattias. The novel twists and turns, ending with the conclusion of another great war: the Wiccan Wars. How will it end?

About the Book Adam St. James is back, this time in a thriller with his old friend from high school, April Mayes, and new friends helping him unwind a disaster of cosmic proportions. The story opens in the timeline of the Cryptid Trilogy. The Cryptid saga is over, and Adam is weary of the fighting, death and destruction, yet it persists and dogs him relentlessly. More bad news is about to be revealed for which Adam will be blamed, but for which he has no responsibility. A powerful immortal offers Adam, and the family of his choosing, the opportunity to depart Adam’s birth universe for an alternate universe where old struggles and battles do not exist. Catastrophic things are about to unfold over which he has no control. One of his old friends, April Mayes and her parents, do not possess the genetic profile that will allow them to survive the coming catastrophe; Adam chooses to invite them to spare their lives in the alternate universe. The rest of his family and friends will survive the catastrophe, as will an “alt” Adam who remains behind. Adam is warned to be careful about the attributes and items he and his fellow traveler wish to take with them; their wish to leave their home world behind will be granted, but do they understand how any minor tweaks may bend and alter the timeline in their new universe? This novel reimagines old characters in new cosmic circumstances telling a tale of what might happen when mortals mess with the very fabric of reality and existence. Adam, and April Mayes, who is now a famous TV and movie star, make the journey to a new universe together, but with unexpected and unintended altered personalities. What follows is disastrous, and in the end, a journey no one wished to make. How will they change, what are the consequences, and how will this adventure pan out? As usual, where goes Adam St. James also goes murder, intrigue, action and betrayal. Buckle up, readers, the adventure is about to begin!

About the Book Amos Bruckford is the retired President and CEO of a large, multinational biotech firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington. He had settled into a life that no longer included work or most of his friends from work; his firm had been bought, then moved to another city. As he took stock of his life, his mind wandered to his ex-wife who divorced him years ago, and his son, estranged and no longer in contact. He was at a point in his life where he was reassessing his past and what little was left of his future; he was sixty-eight and not getting any younger. There was something going on inside his head, something he hadn’t reckoned with either before he retired or afterward. But now that he was wealthy and alone, he had time to reconsider just what had gone so terribly wrong in his personal life that left him without family and friends in the twilight of his journey. He thought maybe a shock to his existence was what was in order, something to distract him from the everyday humdrum of retired life. He had no hobbies, rarely played golf any longer, and his daily routine was, well, utterly routine. Shake it up he thought, but how? It occurred to him the solution was a cruise, a cruise to Hawaii, or maybe in the Caribbean to get out there, mingle with the ladies and find inspiration in something new. He would find meaning, even if it was just company for an evening then a return to solitude. He didn’t mind solitude. It was quiet. As he was ruminating on his target destination, as the summer was drawing to a close, he went for his daily walk along the bay promenade in the downtown area, and noticed, perhaps not for the first time, a young girl, maybe in her mid-teens, sitting on a park bench, her hat out beside her to catch coins from the passersby, her “clients” who passed by every morning going from home or the bus stop to their place of work. The location was excellent and had no other panhandlers as competition. Amos would occasionally drip some loose pocket change in her hat, say hello, then move on. She was a street kid, that was clear, but as he looked more closely at her, and past her level of personal hygiene, he noticed for the first time just how young she was. He wondered what a young lady, a child, was doing on the streets when she should be in school. He passed by for days, then decided to investigate. He approached her, sat down and said hello. He had no idea why. His reception was chilly.

About The Book It’s now five years after the conclusion of the Wiccan Wars in Freyja Thorsdottir, and peace has broken out all over the Seven Realms. Mattias Denson is now king of seven kingdoms, though he chooses to live at the Kir Oasis in Frijia where he surrounds himself with his wives, consorts and children. He has left rule and governance to others, mostly family, and he does not seek new adventures anywhere. Lord Seth, who helped Mattias end the Battle of Mortem, and his son, Prince Xerxes, have traveled from their kingdom in the Clouds, Nimbus, to live among the Lesti, Bjerne and Pagans of Frijia. Everyone is happy, and the Nimbians, along with the Lesti, Leston, Pagans and Bjerne, have colonized the lands of the Ancient Empire and live there, without an army, in peace and prosperity. The colony has grown from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand. Then things begin to change. Pagans threaten the colony with slavery, breaching the peace of the Covenant, the laws the Nimbians swore to enforce. Oddly, the Nimbian royals, led by the queen-regent, not only fail to enforce the laws of the Covenant, they also refuse to allow the colonists to arm and defend themselves. At the same time, Lord Seth and Prince Xerxes suddenly decide to uproot themselves and leave the Seven Realms to travel west to unknown lands in search of something – or somebody. In the process, Prince Xerxes, now married to Ronja Mattiasdottir, breaks oaths and decides to leave with his father, abandoning his wife and daughter. As the pair make their way west past Boria and Rus-land, they alert Mattias Denson to trouble brewing in the lands known as Terra Mixtum. Warlocks. Immortals. Treachery. The Warlocks of the west are planning to invade, having infiltrated the peaceful enclaves of Terra Mixtum, dominated by peaceful immortals. New conflict awaits Mattias and his family, as he and the Seven Realms are once again swept up in a series of epic battles, wars and intrigues. At the same time, Nimbus is in trouble. More than the kingdom in the clouds awaits him as the story of who and what Lord Seth is begins to unravel. New characters and new peoples are revealed. Ronja Mattiasdottir is Book five in the exciting ten-part series, the Viking series, in which Mattias Denson, after defeating the Warlocks of Mortem in the east, must now travel west to confront new threats and new peoples never before encountered. Fasten your seatbelt, readers. The thrilling ride is about to begin.

Author's Note In my last published novel, Minos, I divided the plot into two parts of one continuous story. Part One of Minos follows the exploits of Adam St. James and his family when he and his brother Rod were thirteen years old and helping their father, Dr. Edward St. James, in solving a murder/kidnap mystery on the island of Crete in Greece. Part Two follows that same storyline after Adam turns eighteen and returns to Crete and the Minos Valley alone after the adventures concluded five years earlier. This novel, a sequel to Minos in an alternate universe, along with Minos, also in an alternative universe, is a prequel to the Cryptid Trilogy written by my son and co-author, Jacob Roff. There are three sequels to the Cryptid Trilogy soon to be available in wide distribution. DER, June, 2023
