He spent months as a prisoner of war and plaything to the Tyrannical Elf King Wodanaz. When he was returned home, his physical and mental health greatly degenerated. Twenty years after this trauma, Cimarron is finally taking tentative steps to regain his independence. One day, he begins to develop feelings for his young roommate, the pianist Joshua. Cimarron doesn't want to suffer, and he doesn't want Joshua to suffer because of him. Cimarron feels that he is better off alone. Due to this baggage, Cimarron keeps shying away from the prospect of falling in love again. Joshua doesn't know if Cimarron likes him or not. Joshua is used to lovers who are vocal about their feelings. He needs Cimarron to tell him that he likes him. Otherwise, he will continue to be blissfully unaware of Cimarron's unrequited love for him. With both men not inclined to make the first move, outside intervention is needed for their love to blossom. Watching the two from the shadows is Cimarron's only daughter Astorgas. She thinks that Joshua is nothing, but bad news. She worries that the immature Joshua will make her father suffer. She is the one who must decide whether to trust Joshua with her father's fragile heart.

Saturnastra: Melina by Teresita Blanco (1 Review)    Price verified 45 minutes ago

Preface Melina is the fifth book in the series. Then again, she is technically the 4th, but I decided to split Ahi in two. As of now, you may have noticed the order I take with my books. The Melina story has some magical elements here and there. The dragons only play a bit role in this story. The book focuses on Melina's adventures as a courtesan. She was bought as a slave, by the figurehead of Sassari to play court politics. This book also focuses on the religion of the people of Saturnastra. Most fantasy books tend to avoid the whole God situation. Then again, everyone in this part of the Solar System believes in a God. Godliness was more common during the time when magic was practice in planet Earth. Since magic is common in Saturnastra, the worship of the Gods is also commonplace. I delineate somewhat the theology of the world, and the relationship between the people and the Gods. Aside from the theology, I also established how the slavery system works in Saturnastra. IntroductionThe book Melina is the first book in the series not told in first person. For this book, I created a fake writer to tell the story. He is a character belonging to the world of Saturnastra. He is trying to make sense of all the wild stories told about the protagonist, Melina. This is something that is not commonly done in the English world. It is a bit of a fantastic pseudo biography or an anecdotal book. It was an interesting gimmick to say the least. The story follows the moment that Melina first appeared in Saturnastra recorded history. We know from the narrator, that Melina was a war hero. He is trying to piece together the truth about Melina, for better of for worse. He takes a bit of a Journalism method of writing. He forges his story based on numerous interviews, and physical evidence. By all extents, the narrator thinks that he is getting the truth about Melina's life. You will only see Melina, when there is a human type of person observing her. You will never seen the point of ...

CREEP: A Short Psychological Thriller by William Cook (King Billy Publications) (85 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

A dark story of a young woman's date with death! CREEP is a short psychological thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Serial Killers don't always get away with murder, no matter how hard they try. Includes bonus short story - Legacy. From CREEP: "Cassandra pounded on the window and frantically tried to push the rear doors open, first with her shoulders and then with her heels, to no avail. She peered into the dark confines of the garage and saw nothing except her frightened reflection looking back at her in the window, bathed in the dim yellow interior light of the cab. She cupped her neatly manicured hand across her brow and looked out the window again, her button nose touching the smeared glass as she did so. She thought she heard a deep growling noise somewhere nearby outside the cab and then her window was filled with bared teeth and the blackest, evil eyes, she'd ever seen. The huge head of the Rottweiler retreated into the shadows before launching itself back at the vehicle, the razor sharp canines crunching against the window and sending a trail of cracks across the glass. Steaming froth and saliva dripped down the webbed glass as the dog began to bark and thud its massive head against the side of the cab. Cassandra scuttled across the back seat as she wet herself, waves of fear shrinking her into a ball, as the crazed dog leaped at the cab again... " "William Cook tells a gruesome story with a sense of authenticity that makes you question with considerable unease if it really is fiction, after all." - Graham Masterton, author of The Manitou and Descendant "This man is simply scary. There is both a clinical thoroughness and a heartfelt emotional thoroughness to his writing. He manages to shock as well as empathize, to scare as well as acclimatize, yet beneath it all is a well read intelligence that demands to be engaged. I loved Blood Related. Ordinarily I hate serial killer stories, but William Cook won me over. He is a unique and ...
