The Emissary Bard
Summary
Double, double, bard in trouble. Mob will catch him in a couple... Okay, the mobsters looking for Daniel still hadn't found him. That was the good news. Bad news? The net was tightening - and Daniel was running out of places to hide inside the Dawnlight Forest in the World of Chains. His skills and achievements as a bard did not help avoid attention - quite the opposite, in fact. Maybe, it was time to leave the forest? Or, maybe...maybe take that Council quest and search for a more long-term solution to his predicament?

Supers: Ex Heroes Boxset: Books 1-4 Plus Shorts
Summary
On his way to death row, torn into a galaxy of supers, told the fate of the universe is on his hands. This is the story of Breaker. The first four books included in this boxset, along with a bonus. Who in their right mind tells both his lawyer and the judge presiding over his murder trial, “F--k you!” while still in the courtroom? No one, right? Yeah, you’d be wrong about that. I did. You’d say the same thing if you were just found guilty of a murder you didn’t commit, though. Call me crazy for going off like that in court, but trust me, you don’t know crazy until you see what happened next. I never believed in superheroes. I certainly didn’t believe that I’d become one, or that strategically forming a harem of hot ladies and getting down with them to unlock my superpowers would be the key to my survival. Did I say my survival? I meant the universe’s. No, really...that’s exactly what happened when I was taken to a galaxy of supers, thrown into a prison ship full of villains, and told it was up to me to stop them all. Read on, friend, because it gets a whole hell of a lot crazier from here. This boxset contains the following: Supers: Ex Heroes 1 Supers: Ex Heroes 2 Supers: Ex Heroes 3 Supers: Ex Heroes 4 Plus a bonus! WARNING: This book contains violence and many sexual situations, a harem, heads exploding, and ample blood. You might cringe, you will laugh, and hell, you might even cry. All of that is on purpose, I assure you. Second Edition for even better ball jokes.

Deadline
Summary
Black knights. Dastardly pirates. Bloodthirsty rebels. And those are the good guys. War is coming to the Midlands. Like a kettle ready to bubble over, cities teeter at the brink of boiling, all while a spymaster fans the flames. Witness the rise of the Violet Order. It was always coming to this. Freedom isn't given, it's wrenched from the choking grips of those who would stifle, contain, and control. Legends are rife with noble heroes standing over vanquished enemies, but reality is more grisly. Peace is hard-won with blood and sacrifice, and sometimes the good guys pay the ultimate price. Thus Talon, Izzy, Kyle, and the Black Hats are tasked with raising an army, storming a fortress, and fighting a war on multiple fronts, all on an impossible deadline. In three days, Haven's beta test ends, and in three days, so too might their entire world.

The Wizard Killer: Season Two
Summary
"This is a world with magic and a political situation similar to the world of Stephen King's The Dark Tower.... Wizard Killer contains some of the most well thought out and satisfying magic I have ever read. The magic is subtle, but powerful. The world is harsh but magnificent." - Readers' Favorite, five stars Continuing right where Season One left off, we return to that magical world, once at the height of technology, which has crashed and burned. Levitating cars lay abandoned, floating cities lie in ruin, and the tyrant wizards who ruled with iron fists are nowhere to be seen. In Season One, he awoke from the dead for the third time, his memories scrambled. He survived the terrifying wasteland by his wits, his mana-pistol, and luck, but his luck then ran out. Now, in Season Two, he's got something to say. Kill me with a floating city? You got my attention. But then steal from me and try to burn me alive? You got me thinking. I think I'm going to find your yigging, walking carcass and introduce it to two friends of mine: pain and vengeance. By the way, I borrowed a lightning rifle. Don't worry, I'll return it, empty. See you soon. Season Two kicks everything up a notch. Get yigging ready.

Late to the Ball
Summary
Being a man or a woman in your early 60s is different than it was a generation or two ago, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren't old...yet. But we sense it coming: Careers are winding down, kids are gone, parents are dying (friends, too), and our bodies are no longer youthful or even middle-aged. Learning to play tennis in your 50s is no small feat, but becoming a serious, competitive tennis player at the age of 60 is a whole other matter. It requires training the body to defy age and to methodically build one's game - the strokework, footwork, strategy, and mental toughness. Gerald Marzorati started playing the game seriously in his mid-50s. He had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life, to push his body into the "encore" of middle age. In Late to the Ball, Marzorati writes vividly about the difficulties, frustrations, and triumphs of his becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through, providing a rich, vicarious experience involving the science of aging, his existential battle with time, and the beautiful, mysterious game of tennis.
