I was happy living my simple human life, but--as a Halfling--I can only pretend to be normal for so long.

I've discovered that I'm destined to end the longest fae war in history, and in order to do that I'm required to train with each of the insufferable academy masters.

Especially when each facet of my magic draws me to a specific man--to the element's perfect match.

I'm about to set off on a dangerous and sexy ride that is supposed to bring peace to a war-ravaged world all while maintaining a decent grade point average.

The Bystander

 

The Bystander

A woman and her son prepare to start a new life…

A homeless failed stockbroker walks the streets of New York City, just waiting for another chance…

A C.I.A. operative lies comatose in a hospital bed…

Their lives, and many more, are destined to cross when the world is struck by an incredible global phenomenon…

When time itself inexplicably stops, mankind is trapped in an eternal moment, never ageing and effectively immortal. But still just as ruthlessly ambitious.  

As people fight to survive the perpetual evening of a new America, murderous leaders and dictatorial oppressors rise. The brutality of man is brought into focus more clearly than ever before.

Thousands of miles away, on another continent, a different threat is emerging – and the connection between these distant events just might hold the answer to the mystery of time…

Dystopian sci-fi fantasy on an epic scale, The Bystander is a metaphorical allegory of humanity, power-hunger and the ambiguity of war.

Dotland

 

DotLand: the Politics of America

This new illustrated children's book about "DotLand" calls for a better educated and more informed electorate in America with a plan that's targeted to help grades three through six, starting with a simplified and factual explanation of the core policy perspectives of both the Democratic (BlueDot) and Republican (RedDot) parties, and their consequences for its citizens. Children now have an opportunity to learn about the two major American political parties' basics and why informed voting is so important, without skewed viewpoints, misreported information, or social influence. It also explains how misleading media -- fake news -- became a thing in America and resulted in a more polarized political landscape. The book closes with a solution that calls for students to take an early role in being part of the solution by becoming better educated and more politically informed now so they will be ready to take on the important role as a voting citizen when their time comes.

The whimsical minimalist illustrations of the 'Dots' in DotLand by American graphic artist Mauro Semedo range in color on the spectrum from Blue to Red, illustrating how VioletDots and PurpleDots have become more polarized to extremes of Red and Blue, showing the consequences of the parties' platform choices, the polarization resulting from conservative media's race for ratings, and the hopeful solution education provides. Author C. L. Buchanan studied Public Relations under Col. Arlyn Powell, a legend in the field, at the University of Alabama's School of Communications and interned with Viewpoint Communications on political campaigns in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana during the 1970s.

The Rings of Hesaurun

   

Book One In The Hesaurun Ring Series
 

Hesaurun’s once rich biosphere was stolen by a ruthless enemy, ripped away leaving only deep gouges and devastation as evidence that there had once been something more. Now it and its previously inhabited moons lay barren, devoid of the raw materials that fuel life. Still, the devastated planet holds a mysterious secret, The Five Rings of Hesaurun, the Preservers, ancient sentient mechanoids. Other worlds will suffer a similar fate unless the Preservers act, but they need a worthy organic vassal, a ring bearer. They find what they seek in an unexpected place—Earth.

 

Follow the starship Dreamer, her commander Valerie Dunne, and crew as they navigate the past, present, and distant futures. Earth’s fate now rests on this strange woman’s ability to harness five Hesaurun rings — rings with the power to destroy, heal, manipulate time, and somehow help her find a way to alter her own destiny.

 

The Rings of Hesaurun is a fast-paced but easy-to-follow adventure with a myriad of characters, settings, and surprises. Peter Harrett has crafted a thrilling page-turner with character development akin to the brilliance of King or Koontz.
