King of the Forest: An Acre of America Backyard Nature Series [Kindle Edition]

Mother Nature bestowed a gift of survival on each of her beloved creatures, whether it be the art of assassination, built in booby traps, body armor, weaponry, camouflage, weather protection, or even a form of Morse code to send messages to one’s brethren.

Caterpillars that can shoot a stream of acid and hit a bull’s-eye, insects that carry their own multi-purpose hunting knife, spiders that drift on the wind for miles dangling from silken parachutes, and wasps that smuggle their babies into another wasp’s nursery, all possess tactics that help guarantee the survival of their species.

Humans aren’t always on board with these wizards of survival, and we’ve delved into the black art of population control using man-made viruses and bacteria. In the case of one invasive sea creature, rather than attempting birth control, the government launched a campaign urging us to eat as many of these creatures as possible to control their spread. According to the government sales pitch, “We can’t possibly eat too many of them.”

While we’re releasing biological agents to control the population of some species, we’re allowing others to go extinct, and some of the animals facing the biggest risk of extinction would surprise you — the big cats.

King of the Forest, which is the third book in the Acre of America Backyard Nature Series, highlights not only the wizards of survival that live on our one acre, it takes you deep inside the world of the big cats, some of which are already extinct — as in gone forever.

Book one of An Acre of America Backyard Nature Series includes Mother Nature’s witches, wizards, dragons, ghosts, magic rings, evil genies, tree blobs, pentagrams, and Halloween. Thus it is titled The Wizard of Awe though I think of it as the Halloween book. Book two takes you into the world of hummingbirds and the dangers that they face from enemies such as praying mantises, cannibalflies and spiders. It also showcases the rainbow of colors from Mother Nature’s palette and is thus titled Over the Hummingbird’s Rainbow. The third volume called King of the Forest plunges you into the lion’s den, comparing creatures we encounter every day to the mighty lion. From the majestic maned lions of Africa and Asia, to the mountain lions of the United States, even the tiny assassin bug has a connection to the king of beasts. Our big cats are in trouble, however, and King of the Forest hopes to spread the word.

Humans were given the gift of intellect and the ability to build virtually anything our imaginations could conjure, but in spite of these gifts, humans are the worst enemy this planet faces, despite thousands of years of collective knowledge, wisdom, and lessons we should have learned.

Yet hope exists as long as there are children who believe in the magic, so be as a child again and experience Mother Nature’s glory. Pass the love down to your children and grandchildren so that they’ll protect our Mother rather than destroy her. Embrace the world in your own back yard. There’s no place like home.

The Human Chronicles Saga (Books One & Two) [Kindle Edition]

Two Books In One!

Now you can get the first two books in The Human Chronicles Saga for one low price in this completely REVISED & EDITED omnibus edition.
Receive both complete books of: The Fringe Worlds and Alien Assassin for $2.00 off the price of both books bought individually!

This is your chance to follow the adventures of Adam Cain, an ex-Navy SEAL who finds himself dropped into a universe of strange alien beings,
where HUMANS ARE THE SUPERMEN in the galaxy!

in The Fringe Worlds…

Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude…

After all, how would you feel if you were abducted by aliens and transported into a strange, new universe away from your home, your family — everything familiar to you? Would it make you happy? Not likely!

Now imagine you’re stronger, faster and more coordinated than every alien you encounter. Would you start kicking some ass? Of course you would!

This is the story of Human superiority in the galaxy, a gritty, realistic profile of a young Navy SEAL who doesn’t like aliens very much — and he makes them pay for disrupting his happy life back on Earth!

Here’s an excerpt:

…Riyad stopped his story and narrowed his eyes at Adam. “You must know by now, my friend, that we Humans have certain advantages over most of the creatures out here. In fact, I understand you bested two Rigorians your first day on Nimor. That is no easy task.”

“I didn’t pick that fight! They challenged me,” Adam said in his defense.

“Oh, I’m not being critical. I’m just pointing out a fact. In the six years I have been out here, I have found creatures who were faster, who were stronger and who were tougher than we are. Some even exhibited remarkable intelligence and coordination. But none combine all these traits into one being like we do. Out here, WE ARE THE SUPERMEN. No, we can’t fly, and we can certainly be killed by the weapons they possess, but none of the creatures I’ve encountered can stand against us in a fair fight.”

Synopsis: Four thousand years ago, the Juireans exterminated the Klin race and then used their technology to forge a galactic empire known as the Juirean Expansion. Now it’s revealed that the Klin still exist — and are in hiding somewhere in The Fringe Worlds. But more than that, the Klin have begun to use the Humans for some secret purpose, a fact that could bring about the total annihilation of the Human race. But only the Klin know Earth’s location, contained in the stolen computer core from a derelict Klin starship. Now Adam must race against the Juireans, as well as the Fringe Pirates, to recover the missing computer core — and find his way home. Adam could care less about the centuries-long feud between the Juireans and the Klin. All he wants to do is get home. And if a galactic empire stands in his way — well too bad for them!

Love him or hate him, Adam Cain is about as REAL as it gets.

in Alien Assassin…

Adam Cain is attempting to survive in the alien universe — as an assassin, when he comes upon a clue that can lead him back home to Earth. But now the Juireans are fast on his trail, so he enlists the help of another alien assassin in his quest for his lost homeworld. Meanwhile, Riyad has problems of his own, as his Fringe Pirates are decimated by the Juireans, leaving him alone and on the run. All the action culminates as Adam builds a tiny army of displaced Humans to fight a pitched battle against the elite Juirean Guards.

With all five books in Part One of the series NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon.com, here is your opportunity to catch up on all the adventure, excitement and just rip-roaring fun of this Best-Selling Hard Science Fiction Series.

Reminiscent of stories from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, The Human Chronicles Saga will have you laughing and fist-pumping all the way through — and always with the underlying message: Don’t Mess With The Humans!

The Galactic Mage (The Galactic Mage Series) [Kindle Edition]

Altin Meade is a sorcerer with a curse. Seeking to avoid a looming doom, he sets his magical sights on the stars–a quest that will likely bring about the very consequence he’s seeking to escape.

Far across the galaxy, Ensign Orli Pewter of planet Earth has a looming doom of her own–one of loneliness, depression and, worse, a race of genocidal aliens known as “Hostiles” seeking to destroy humanity. Trapped aboard a spaceship she never asked to be upon, Orli is in a fight for both her life and her sanity.

Worlds apart, Altin and Orli share a destiny, but neither knows the other is alive. The Hostiles know. And they have other plans.

***
The Galactic Mage is the first book in The Galactic Mage Series. Book 2, Rift in the Races, and book 3, Hostiles, are now available. Book 4, as yet untitled, is underway and expected in 2014.
