When powerful siblings discover a terrifying truth, will they embrace a new destiny or turn to darkness?
Ashaya Blacksun has had a weight lifted from her shoulders. Freed by her father's abdication of his crown, the former princess's delight over choosing her own path is barely dimmed by her strange and haunting dreams. But when her beloved twin brother doesn't return home from a ranging expedition, the unconventional young woman fears something has gone terribly wrong.

Still determined to maintain a position of leadership, he sets out to investigate the disturbing news of carnage in the south. But when he crosses paths with a powerful figure straight out of lore, the temptation to ignore his beloved father's bold vision in favor of his own ambition becomes increasingly difficult to resist.
Defying tradition by sneaking off to find her missing twin, Ashaya's travels over deadly terrain are plagued by intensifying visions that point to a dark fate. And as Sirich's strange new companion shows him a new way forward, the frustrated would-be king faces a frightening choice.
As these scions of nobility grapple with a new reality, will their quest for truth end in tragedy?

The Pill Tanakh: Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures, Volume 1 - The Torah
This book comprises the first five books of the Jewish Scriptures, otherwise known as The Torah, The Five Books of Moses, The Chumash. What makes The Pill Tanakh different? The following are some examples:
1) The Hebrew and the English texts are side-by-side, on facing pages, with matching verses; there is no run-over of the more verbose English to another page!
2) Each new book starts with an image from the actual Leningrad Codex on the page that the first verse of the book begins.
3) For this edition, I have altered both the Hebrew and English texts especially to conform to the actual Leningrad Codex (circa year 1009), most notably in the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.
4) I set the Hebrew numbering, which uses Hebrew letters, to follow a natural rendering for numbers 15 and 16, which rabbis insist must be obfuscated to NOT reflect the Divine Name (YHVH). I use yud-he for 15 and yud-vav for 16 instead
of tet-vav and tet-zayin as per 'rabbinic superstition!'
5) Additionally, I have altered some English verses to better represent the Hebrew text in several places. As an example, I changed the over 5,000 instances where the title 'the Lord God' appears, replacing it with 'Yehovah, ' the transliteration of the Hebrew.
6) In the margin of a line in the actual Leningrad Codex, there are words added that rabbis refer to as 'Qere' (what is read). These words were intended to replace a word in the line with the same root, known as 'Ketiv' (what is written). Other Jewish publications force the reading of the 'Qere' in lieu of the 'Ketiv, ' obscuring the originally written text; some versions place the 'Ketiv' in brackets while others place it in the margin outside the line! In The Pill Tanakh, I relegate those 1,110 'Qere additions' to small footnote notations in the Hebrew text, so that the reading is natural just as the Masoretic scribes intended. Moreover, I have found few instances where the 'Qere' is actually correct, but there are many instances that are blatantly wrong!
Again, this is Volume 1 - The Torah, part one of a three volume set of Torah, Prophets and Writings, which make up the entire Jewish Scriptures.

The Haunted Quill contains eight short stories that explore the strange and uncanny corners of history.

Quinn can't sleep! Worries keep intruding. Fred the Bunny teaches Quinn about Remote Control Breathing, a way to notice thought patterns and consciously change the channel away from worries. When children begin to consciously notice what they are thinking about, they become more able to control their thoughts rather than being controlled by them, developing greater self-regulation and resilience. And when children (and adults!) are not consumed with worry, they can fall asleep more easily! (Hardcover; 32 pages).

This book is a commentary on Daniel 9 in the Hebrew-language based Jewish Scriptures. The first part of the book is focussed on verse 25. I provide detailed definitions of key Hebrew words, but also discuss verse structure and Hebrew cantillation marks, both of which designate two distinct, independent parts. For a long time I had subscribed to the idea that this verse referred to the coming of the person known as The Messiah. In my youth, at the request of my atheist mother, I had read the book 'The Late Great Planet Earth, ' by Hal Lindsey, which introduced many to the idea of the Messiah and a Christian premillennial end-times view. Last summer (2024) I felt driven to better understand Daniel 9. I decided to look at the Hebrew more thoroughly, wanting to know the purpose of cantillation marks having to do with grammar. To my surprise, I learned that an Ethnacta Emperor accent, which separates longer verses into two distinct sections, occurs in the seven weeks of Daniel 9:25: Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to return to and to build Yerushalam unto Mashiach nagid shall be seven weeks; and for sixty-two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times. Thus, contrary to the teaching of Christian premillennialists where they teach that Messiah comes after the end of the sixty-two weeks, at the Ethnacta cantillation mark the Messiah (Mashiach Nagid) is found at the point in time of the seven weeks (49 years) at the beginning of the timeline from the order to return to and build Yerushalam! This, as well as other supporting information is well documented in this book, Ad Mashiach Nagid: The Messiah In Daniel 9. I have a chapter on The Ten Commandments from the Leningrad Codex, and also include basic information for the study of the ancient Hebrew language in my chapter Seek Yehovah.
Eribelle
After my brother's death at the hands of merfolk, I have grown up terrified of the species that lurk in the Below. When a merman abandons my friend to a doomed fate, the plans for my future change, becoming far more complicated than I ever imagined. Now that same wretched merman and I are trapped on an island where unexpected mysteries unfold. This merman is full of magic and secrets that I plan to unlock. Until then, I despise every nightmare invaded by the endless swirling color of Axton's eyes- wicked blue.
Axton
My duty is to protect the throne from all humans Above, but everything changes when a beautiful woman falls into our waters. Stupidly, I save her. That damning choice strips me of my title as royal guard and sets a bounty on my head. Desperate to clear my name, I bargain my sight with the Sea Witch but never anticipated what else was included in the deal. Now, forced to work with the woman I rescued, I must somehow find a way to regain my sight and exonerate myself so I can earn back my title. How am I supposed to do that when Eribelle's enchanting nature keeps drawing me back to her side?
The author of Ebenezer, Myke Phoenix, Dejah & Summer in the Time of Magic and The Imaginary Bomb presents this collection of short-short stories full of intrigue, love, action and, well, whimsy.

Kyra
I'm Linked with not one but two Mystier men: Jadox-my rock-and Isaac-the enemy who threatens my new Magik. I'd give up my left drumstick to sever this forced bond with Isaac. But the president's army ambushed us, creating chaos and forcing us into different plans. Since Isaac led them to us, I'll make him suffer more than he could possibly imagine.
Isaac
This Magikal Link will be the end of me. Kyra's power has me wrapped around her finger. Are these feelings real or is the Link responsible for a phantom love? Because she wants me gone, I don't feel guilty for using her powers to save my son. Especially when all Kyra can focus on is reuniting with my nemesis, Jadox Griffin.
Kyra
Darkness is gnawing at my soul. The shadows swallow me a little more each day. But someone needs to destroy Elana Elidi. And I may be the only one who can. There's a spell to stop her from destroying the remaining Ordulls. But it requires a sacrifice from my true love. The problem is-who does my heart belong to-Jadox or Isaac?
History doesn't repeat itself, but you can hear its echoes every day. The same wind that brings echoes of past foolishness also brings echoes of lost freedoms, echoes that are never quite stilled.
This is a little book about what used to be, what is, and what could be if we wish to reclaim it.
There is a section about freedom and the Bill of Rights. There is a section about what has been happening in the last several years, and how everything changed, almost in a blink. And there is a section of hope for the future, because most of us want to be free, want to be left alone to live our personal vision of our best life, and want to respect everyone's right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, as long as they don't infringe on other people's equal rights to those things.
From the author of Refuse to be Afraid and It's Going to Be All Right, the second edition of this collection of essays about freedom includes the poignant short story Letters from Camp.
The Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures, Volume 1 - The Torah.
This book comprises the first five books of the Jewish Scriptures, otherwise known as The Torah, The Five Books of Moses, and The Chumash.
What makes The Pill Tanakh different? The following are some examples.
1) The Hebrew and the English are side-by-side, on facing pages, with matching verses; there is no run-over of the more verbose English to another page!
2) Each new book starts with an image from the photo-facsimile Leningrad Codex on the page that the first verse of the book begins. Underneath each page image, the column and position of the first verse of the book is provided, and the page file number from the Leningrad Codex pdf is provided.
3) For this edition, I have altered both the Hebrew and English especially to conform to the actual Leningrad Codex (circa year 1009), most notably in the Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5.
4) I set the Hebrew numbering, represented by Hebrew letters, to follow a natural rendering for numbers 15 and 16, which rabbis insist must be obfuscated to NOT reflect the Divine Name (YHVH). I use yud-he for 15 and yud-vav for 16 instead of tet-vav and tet-zayin as per 'rabbinic superstition!'

Again, this is Volume 1 - The Torah, part of a three volume set of Torah, Prophets and Writings, which make up the entire Jewish Scriptures.
A new edition of Edwin Green's 1932 boy's novel about the world's largest dirigible and the mysterious conspiracy to prevent its completion. The original cover describes the action this way:
Lines away!
This is a story of the world's greatest dirigible and of the dangers in the frozen wastes of the Arctic - a combination sure to provide thrills for every reader.
The Goliath, largest dirigible in the world, is to meet the submarine Neptune at the North Pole. The Neptune encounters one mishap after another in the drifting ice of the Arctic and Harry Curtis, its radio operator, sends an S.O.S. to Andy High, assistant commander of the Goliath. The dirigible starts north, Captain Hawkins, the commander, is stricken, and Andy takes charge of the rescue attempt.
What befalls the Goliath on the Arctic trip is only a part of the smashing action of this great book for boys. It's alive and up-to-the-minute in every detail.
Essentially, this book is a commentary on the man responsible for being the architect of the main doctrines of Christianity, Saul of Tarsus, commonly known as The Apostle Paul. I have included commentaries about Jesus of Nazareth, and the resurrection, near the end of the book.
I also comment on Talmudism, the Jewish religion whose doctrine revolves around rabbinic oral tradition. When Talmudists mention 'Torah' they mean the 'Oral Torah' - oral tradition! When I mention Torah, I mean the written Torah of Moses!
All passages from the Hebrew-language based Jewish Scriptures, herein, are taken from 'The Pill Tanakh: Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures, ' self-published as a three volume book, Volume 1: Torah (the 5 books of Moses), Volume 2: Neviim (Prophets) and Volume 3: Ketuvim (Writings).
All passages for the Christian Scriptures, also known as The New Testament, are taken from the King James Version (KJV).
When I reference a passage of Scripture, my intention is to show enough surrounding verses to provide the contextual relevance. Points and arguments require the context of a reference for an accurate assessment. Thus, including enough surrounding verses to express the given context is important to intelligently discern what a passage says.I am aware that the subjects at hand may be controversial.
I am of the opinion that our beliefs should always hold up to outside scrutiny, especially if we wish them to be considered valid by others!
If our tenets and beliefs cannot be shown to be founded upon sound principles, which can be backed up with relevant documentation, then what we attribute to be faith may rather, instead, be a certain fanaticism or just plain zeal!
Fanaticism may be founded upon sincere and strongly held beliefs, or just on our feelings! In My Humble Opinion (IMHO), strongly held beliefs and feelings do not equal or substitute for a profound knowledge and understanding, nor should we expect them to!
It is with these sentiments that I hope you will find the reading enjoyable, and even more so that you may find it instructive and even challenging.
The call of God often breaks a man before it makes him.
At seventeen, Joseph hears the voice of El-Shaddai for himself in a dual dream of harvest and heavens. But the very visions that set him apart from his brothers also fuel their disdain into a raging hatred that threatens to destroy him.
Amid the ruins of his life in Egyptian slavery, the young dreamer's strength is tested by daily darkness that obscures the stars he was promised. Nevertheless, Joseph is stunned to recognize the unfailing grip of the Most High God drawing him into a relationship as personal as it is powerful-a covenant of the heart that will change the nations of Egypt and Israel forever.
Join one of the most famous biblical heroes in the heart-wrenching middle of his story and witness how God's presence carried him through, bearing faithful fruit that prepared him not only for more testing but for glory.
