Wild Brujeria is a poetry collection on the magick of living between the lines of identity.
What does being Mexican American mestizo, hard-of-hearing, narcoleptic, sapphic, and gender-queer have in common? That there is no suitable box in society for me to live in. I am unknowable. Yet, Nature knows me, and accepts me as I am.
Wild Brujeria is a collection of poems written for the people who live everyday under the weight of labels they know can never contain their entire souls.
Peek into my reality, and you might find a glimpse of your own. We are the indeterminable threads that weave the universe.
As we peer into the universe, surely She looks back.
There's a homestead deep in the mountains called Merkel Valley and werewolves den there. They're a peaceful clan, focused on hunting game animals and preserving the traditions of Mother Moon from one generation to the next.
But there's unrest in the pack, and it comes in the form of a rogue wolf named Merrill Sade. Banished long ago from Merkel Valley, Merrill has made his mark in the cities below with tooth and claw. He is a zealot obsessed with stories about an old feral god lost to time, and now commands a ragtag band of cannibals that serve at his heel. Merrill's thoughts are rabid, and he has no qualms about wetting his fangs with innocent blood.
He seeks the remnants of a powerful relic known as the Crown of Carrion. If found, they open a doorway to a ravenous force that howls across space and time. All that stands against him is his former lover Ivy, and a few brave wolves from Merkel Valley who are willing to take a stand against Merrill's unrepentant bloodshed.
Will peace prevail in Merkel Valley, or will Merrill and his cannibals feast on this world until nothing is left but gristle and dust?

Five years have passed since Avalon returned to the real world and faced both the loss of magic and a full-scale invasion. Through great effort and sacrifice, Avalon disappeared once again, a solemn victory with a high price. Torn asunder from a giant landmass into an archipelago of islands, Avalon's throne is usurped by Mordred, the immortal bastard child of Morgana le Fay. With an army of undead wraith knights at his command and the children of the Lords of Avalon at his side, Mordred threatens the entirety of Avalon's existence.
Standing in his way are the children of the Gil-Gamesh: Hunter, Rose, and Ashley. Since their father's death during Avalon's Reclamation, these three have resisted Mordred's reign at every turn from their new home in the ruined Elven city of Alfheimer. Along with the Holy Order of Shield Maidens and the Hîldrägo Boquè, an elite corps of Elven warriors, they fight back to reclaim the throne for the rightful heir, King Bowen, and to restore Avalon to the people. But even now, Mordred schemes to bring down the resistance by constructing an ancient magical artifact...The Prometheus Engine. Only the immortal king knows its secrets and the power it will bring him, no matter the cost. Hunter and his siblings must race across the archipelago to uncover the engine's secrets and discover the truth behind Avalon's Reclamation.
The story continues in THE PROMETHEUS ENGINE: Book 4 of the FOREVER AVALON Series!

There are people and events which we need to forget; there are others we ought to remember. Thomas Cranmer is definitely in the second category and as the years pass, we must remind each generation of the depth of his theological legacy and the power of his writings. The depth and a power was sealed by his martyr's death. The present book of meditations on the Easter collects from the Book of Common Prayer 2019 fulfills this need. Not surprisingly, the collects themselves continue to minister to our souls and give us the words with which we may address the Lord God. They represent the Biblical piety which flows so naturally from the insights of the Protestant Reformation. Their brevity (part of their genius) can hide the riches of their insights. That is what this book by Dr. Ashley Null accomplishes. Dr. Null is in the very front rank of contemporary Cranmer scholars. But, as those who have heard him speak will know, his erudition is matched by his huge enthusiasm for the same biblical gospel which Cramner preached. Dr. Null's meditations on the collects are thus full of the wisdom and the challenges which shape our relationship with God himself. We need to read his book slowly, accepting its challenge to study and savor the collects, and being aided by an author who himself stands as close to the teaching of Cranmer as possible and brings its meaning home to our hearts.

It is the nature of nighttime to be temporary. To be a period of darkness that both begins and ends with the changing of light. And while there are reasons to fear the dark, it can also be a time of deep reflection. A time to study the distance between our arms and the stars. Inevitably, dawn will have its way, and our view of things will shift. This is the nature of night. To show the world a type of beauty that can only be found in darker times.
