Four summers have flown by, since Avelyn and her family won the vicious battle in the unforgettable YA Fantasy novel The Ants of Fire. Now, a mysterious aging sickness is tragically shortening the lives of the tixies everywhere in their forest homes.

When shy but determined 16-year-old Avelyn's beloved mother suddenly ages 100 summers before her eyes, she is paralyzed with sadness. But her more outgoing little brother Killian discovers a way to save their mother and the other tixies suffering from the debilitating disease.

Far into the west, outside of the confines of their massive forest home, a fabled pixie city sits on a barren hilltop. This legendary city is the home of a sacred Magic Dust that is rumored to give creatures unnaturally long life. Desperate to find a cure for her mother, Avelyn agrees to her younger brother's crazy idea, leading to an epic journey across dark and dangerous lands, where three young heroes fight for their lives against mythical creatures, like the stinky Toadskunks, and many other formidable foes.

The Lost City is the immersive 4th volume of the Tixies Chronicles YA Fantasy series, which features heart-stopping sword fighting action scenes, memorable characters with complex relationships, heroic bravery, and vivid world-building. In this memorable coming of age journey, Avelyn must realize her full potential and use the Sword of Light to find her destiny… before it’s too late.

“The king’s fall is imminent, Konskara. The prophesy is true and is coming to fulfillment. They have come.”

The Song of Immaru: Earth's Door


Winner of Literary Titan Gold Book Award: Fiction 2024 and FAPA President's Silver Book Award: Sci-Fi 2024

“But in some way, my goal is the same as your goal. Noble—and eternal. What you must understand is that without the darkness”—he began to lift his phial, and a fiery tumult swirled inside—“there . . . is . . . no . . . light.”

The vast plains of South Dakota offer Tarin solace from both his dreams of an unknown past and the rumblings of a new global war. Yet a haunting melody plays over the stillness of the grasslands, a melody he cannot escape—one that seems hungry to force him to . . . remember.

When a stranger dressed like a medieval traveler enters town, the already nervous community responds with alarm. Is this man there to cause trouble like the other newcomers—those who claim to be part of a government organization observing a new illness in the area? And how does this man know Tarin when Tarin has no recollection of him?

As the threat of war draws closer and strange sightings appear in the sky, Tarin begins to discover that all on the planet is not what it seems. What have his dreams been telling him? Is there more to the universe—to reality—than he could have ever imagined?

Earth’s Door is a brilliant blend of fantasy and sci-fi with masterful world-building and rich character development that will leave readers tearing through the pages. Breakout author PJ Dudek has written a captivating story that fans of Stranger Things, James Islington, and Brandon Sanderson are sure to love!

The Isle of Kin:

A Gripping Mystery Novel Unfolding on an Enigmatic Utopian Island


"A haunting look at the lengths people are willing to go to for self-preservation. Very highly recommended." —Readers' Favorite

A captivating novel where Orwell's dystopia meets Murakami's mystique.


To the outside world, plagued by poverty and death, the Isle of Kin is a paradise—a tantalizing utopia where wealth, beauty, and harmony reign. The Kinsmen, the island’s enigmatic inhabitants, have guarded their prized black opal mines for centuries, never allowing an outsider to set foot on their sacred land.

August, a struggling laundromat bookkeeper from the decaying Mainland, discovers he is a descendant of a defected Kinsman and earns a coveted invitation to the island. To him, it feels like a dream—his one shot at a better life.

Once in paradise, however, August can never leave. Desertion is punishable by death. And, as he learns more about the Isle of Kin and the ways of the Kinsmen, an eerie reality sets in. The rules are absolute. The perfection—a mere façade.

August soon discovers that utopia comes at a price.
