WARNING: Please do not read this novel unless you have an open mind about religion. Whatever your beliefs, it will challenge them.

Evil exists. Its name is Satan. Can he be stopped?

December 21, 2012. The world did not end. But it changed forever. For better or worse?

FACT: The alignment of the Earth, the Sun, and the galactic equator on the winter solstice of 2012 was one that occurs only once every 26,000 years. That made it the first such conjunction in the history of civilization. In a calendar that runs for five thousand years, the Mayans chose it as the end of days. They called it Creation Day. But creation of what? What lies beyond this cosmic threshold? Apocalypse or Salvation?

Find the stunning answer in 2013: Beyond Armageddon as it takes us on the ultimate archaeological dig: the dig for Hell.

October 1947. Two ancient scrolls are discovered that give proof:

HEAVEN AND HELL ARE REAL. THERE IS A GOD. THERE IS A SATAN.

BEFORE THE BEGINNING…

Their war began in the untime. Long before the universe existed, God’s beloved archangel and his legion rebelled and were cast into Hell. And Lucifer became Satan. Now the day of reckoning has come. Can the forces of Good defeat a seemingly unstoppable Evil?

2013: Beyond Armageddon takes Zeke Sloan on a demon-stalked quest to confront the root of all evil. From Satanic murders in Washington, D.C. to a necropolis deep beneath Jerusalem–where a man believing he is John the Baptist communes with God, and the dead await their Messiah. Then deeper, to the lowest point on earth: the Dead Sea. Then deeper still. For it is far below the mysterious body of water the Greeks called the Devil’s Sea that the final battle will take place.

ARMAGEDDON.

THE WAR THAT BEGAN IN HEAVEN
MUST END IN HELL.

A male witch in a world where witches are burned at the stake. A goddess trapped in a circle of stone. A girl searching to find where she belongs. All will come together in the Heart of a Witch.

Amazon reviewer: “The world created in this book is extraordinary, and very three-dimensional. Nicely written, and some of everything; romance, suspense, action, and even its own religion. A great read from a great and imaginative mind! “

Warning: This is intended for a mature audience. These stories contain many slang words that may offend delicate ears.

THIS IS A BUNDLE OF THE FOLLOWING 4 TITLES:

  • Curious Jim: An amateur mad scientist, an experiment, a curious brother, an enlarged appendage, and a very angry mother.
  • Mommas been taken by a cult: A virtual world, a missing mother, an excursion, and a very hungry husband.
  • What does the early worm get?: A worm, an aunt, a secret romance, a revolving door of boyfriends, and a very ugly social stigma.
  • Multicolored Boogs: An itchy nose, multicolored boogs, an offering, a sticky situation, and a very picky finger.

What does this all mean?

Immerse your imagination into these silly stories that will tickle your funny bone.
Quick, yummy, and probably not too good for you.
Grab some nacho chips and relax. There is some cheesy fun waiting inside.
Less than the price of a bacon double cheeseburger and just as yummy. Also zero calories.
Four out of five pretentious people roll their eyes at my stories.
A quick fix. The fast food equivalent of storytelling. (No MSG Added)
Lowbrow loveliness at its finest.

Enjoy this very ugly bundle.

In 2011 the world population hit seven billion. Fourteen thousand babies are born every hour. By 2045 the population is predicted to hit nine billion. Can our planet cope?

In 1798 Economist Reverend Thomas Malthus thought not. His work ‘An Essay on the Principal of Population’ predicted that population growth would outpace our ability to obtain resources, resulting in a global epidemic of famine that would destroy society unless curbed.

Fast forward to 2012. College students Dean Adams and his best friend Felix Pye, unwittingly stumble across the greatest conspiracy in history, and by doing so sign a death warrant. They are forced to run as powerful, high society members of a 200 year old secret Malthusian League attempt to silence them.

The league will stop at nothing to continue its Malthusian cause. Their purpose? To curb population growth and ensure Malthus’ predictions for economic ruin do not come true.

With the aide of detective Isabella Mercena, Dean and Felix go head to head against the evil forces as they attempt to expose the league’s sinister plans to control population. Will they survive to tell the tale and tell it before the next wave of disaster is unleashed on mankind?

The apocalypse is over…but the REAL horror is yet to come!

Lionel Morton and his sister, Claire are alone and in danger in a world frozen by nuclear winter. Survivors of a cataclysmic event that brought human civilization to its end, they’re forced to face starvation, rabid animals and the savage remnants of humanity just to stay alive. When a fading radio broadcast calls to them and hints of sanctuary, they’re forced to make a difficult decision: keep fighting through the wasteland in search of something that may not be real, or give up hope and wait to die in the terrible cold.

Sun Bleached Winter is a dark, violent story of survival, desperation and loss that explores the truly terrifying reality of the apocalypse in a world where good and evil are meaningless and everybody is driven by raw instinct. It’s part The Road and part The Walking Dead, with equal parts of The Stand thrown in for good measure.
