Enter Matthew Slade. Formerly the Pinkerton Detective Agency’s best gun-hand, investigator, and tracker. No sooner does he arrive at San Francisco’s stockyard than he rescues Mai Lee, a little Chinese girl, from a pair of thugs intent on kidnapping her.
Slade finds out that the girl is wanted by Huang Sun, the leader of the dominant tong – a Chinese crime syndicate that runs opium dens, fan-tan parlors, and prostitution in the city. And Slade can’t walk away, even if he wanted to. His first paid job as a free agent is to keep Mai Lee out of Sun’s hands – no matter the cost!
Can a gunslinger used to the open plains and prairies of the West deal with the criminal underworld of a crowded metropolis? Even with the help of his friend, sea-captain Amos Harding and the backing of a pair of bawdy-house madams, the odds are long at best!
In Episode Four, Lieutenant MacWilliams must lead the way back to Glenpool Springs. Their way is blocked by the now-roused steelies, vision-shrouding sand storms, and nightmare plains turned to radioactive slag by nuclear fallout.
On top of that, a startling revelation about the ZPE unit threatens to change the very nature of the war MacWilliams is fighting. And at the end of it all looms the final confrontation with the horde of steelies descending upon Glenpool…
Samantha's heart belongs to the blonde Southern belle, Charlotte. But her father, the grasping textile tycoon McKinley Williams, is determined to plant her in the wedding bed of a man forty years her senior! And as the debutante of one of Chicago's wealthiest families in the 1870's, Samantha's supposed to be quiet, ladylike, and do what she's told.
In a world where the very word 'lesbian' is forbidden, Samantha makes a desperate bid for freedom. She proposes to her lover that they elope, stealing a pair of horses and trusting to their skills with buggy whip and trick shooting to see them through to San Francisco! Scared but swept away by her lover's passionate plea, Charlotte joins Samantha and they're off into the backroads of the Old West in 1876 America.
Adventure abounds as the two must elude Pinkerton detectives, local lawmen, and a vicious gang of bandits. Along the way, they're helped or hindered by whorehouse madams, famous journalists and infamous gunfighters as they make their way toward the Sierra Nevada Mountains. But with prairie snowstorms, hostile Native American tribes, and a pitched battle with Confederate cavalry leader Clarke Quantrill looming in their future, it's anyone's guess if they'll make it.
All Samantha and Charlotte can do is hone their skills, stick together, and fight for their love against all odds!
The smashed derelict ship they're exploring holds a deadly secret from the last Interstellar War. And there are some who will kill in order to keep the past buried.
Spanish doubloons, Black Ops conspiracies, and a squadron of corrupt mercenary ships are all part of the race to claim the galaxy's ultimate treasure trove!
The ruthless Caranthine Empire invades the peaceful land of Melusia. Led by their ruthless warlord general, Lord-Captain Arakan, the Caranthine hordes descend upon the tiny kingdom. Only the wizard of the Island of Darkfell stands ready to repel the would-be conquerors.
Until something goes terribly wrong... But when a horrific accident knocks the wizard out of action, the mage's younger sister Muriel must desperately call for help. She sends her pleas to a powerful heroine she's read about via her magical scrying mirror: Leetah, the legendary Mage of the Rose.
Leetah can't help, because she's not flesh and blood. She exists only between the ears of California-based fiction writer Jason Summer. Jason's based Leetah on his longtime girlfriend, Sonja.
It's up to Jason Summer to come to the rescue. But he's got more troubles than he cares to count: he's wanted by the police, hunted by a shadowy government figure, and only has two days to figure out a way to get to the magic world of Melusia.
Even with Sonja's surprising talents and the help of a wizard's kid sister, it's going to be one bumpy ride.
Three years ago, the President welcomed a pegasus, a dryad, and a pair of griffins to the White House. Their arrival became a cultural touchstone like the Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, or 9-11. Between the somber blue-black suits of the President's cabinet and the Renaissance Faire medievalism of the creatures from the 'Morning Land', it was Norman Rockwell meets the cast of Narnia.
All creatures from the Morning Land seem peaceful enough... Until an evil wizard from that magical realm murders Ridder's friend in cold blood right before the police detective's eyes. Devastated, Ridder thinks he'll be taken off the LAPD's Homicide detail until he's given unexpected news. He's put on the wizard's trail and given a new partner: a brash, driven unicorn filly named Tavia, the Daughter of the Warder of Cavilad
The unicorn's on a desperate mission of her own. Tavia identifies Ridder's murderer as the wizard who nearly destroyed the realms of the unicorns, dryads, and pegasi in a horrific act of war: Sir William Teach. And she's pledged her very life to capture or kill this magic-using war criminal at all cost!
Together, Derek and Tavia race to stop the wizard's demonic plans. Their path takes them through the gritty underside of Los Angeles and deep into the fantasy realm of Tavia's magical homeworld. Along the way, they encounter the wizard's world-destroying allies, learn how a police detective can learn magic, and discover whether one really needs to be virgin-pure in order to touch a unicorn mare.
Warlord and wizard, ally to demon and hellhound... William Teach isn't about to be taken down without a fight. But even with the help of a diplomat pegasus, an Amazonian tribe of dryads, and a SWAT-team's worth of cops and agents from the Secret Service, the odds are long at best.
And both detective and unicorn know that if they fail, both of their worlds will be destroyed!
Cats with human intellect… A laboratory that has created super-intelligent cats has been shut down and deemed a failure. But unbeknownst to the scientists, several of these cats have escaped to the nearby garbage dump and carved out their own societies in the shadow of humanity.
A mission of rescue or vengeance… The genes for human-level intelligence show up in one out of every ten kittens. As one of these ‘dekka’ cats, Longshanks discovers that his brother is missing and likely taken by the leader of one of the neighbouring glarings – the power-mad and insane Sinh!
Along with the help of his mentor and grandsire, can the newly christened hunter Longshanks find his brother before Sinh’s minions capture and kill him?
Josie’s embroiled in conflict with the town council over the End of the Line, a shabby bar with a shadowy past and clientèle who swill beer for breakfast.
Mystified by Josie’s loyalty to the Line and the stand-offish town dwellers, Kate is nevertheless persuaded to stay and help tend bar. But when she finds Josie’s bludgeoned body one dark night in the back office, the town’s citizens and local police force seem a little too eager to write off the killing as a random burglary gone bad.
Remembering how Josie once stuck to her guns to prove Kate’s innocence in a long-ago crime, Kate refuses to let the murder get swept aside. She’s not leaving Del Sueño until the truth comes out.
But small towns and long-buried secrets have a very nasty way of coming back to bite...
