At First, You Hear The Silence by Mark Fuller Dillon

At thirteen, Philippe can see his father trapped in a world of secrets and silence, a world with no place for honesty or courage. But when the walls of that world fall apart, and something from outside breaks in, the silence becomes a warning shout… and Philippe will be tested in ways his father could never imagine. This is a dark modern fantasy, suitable for Young Adult to Adult readers.

“An enthralling encounter with mysteries from beyond… tearing at the veil between worlds one minute, scratching at our very windows the next. Filled with breathless suspense and cosmic strangeness, it’s a story sure to put the reader in the shoes of the sharply-drawn young protagonist, as his human strengths are put to the test.”
— Jeffrey Thomas, author of PUNKTOWN.

“A new twist on what used to be called science fantasy, it strikes a great balance between horror, sf, and action writing. This is a modern, intelligent story with its roots firmly in the Golden Age pulp tradition.”
— David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES.

“I read ‘At First, You Hear The Silence’ three times; first as a reader, second as a writer, and the third time as an admittedly envious writer.”
— Jason E. Rolfe, author of THE PUPPET-PLAY OF DOCTOR GALL.

“‘At First, You Hear the Silence’ is a fast-moving, compelling read which contains the best that horror, fantasy and science fiction have to offer. Mark Fuller Dillon’s writing constantly evolves. His prose is both expertly crafted and precise, deftly creating an atmosphere of unease and, ultimately, dread.”
— Martin Cosby, author of THE TRAINS DON’T STOP HERE.

About Featured Book: The Stobrimore Chronicles – The Beginning by Matthew Johnson

After losing his parents at an early age, Jack Stobrimore was raised by his grandfather, Artemis.
Artemis loved to tell fantasy stories of a world of magic, filled with heroes and villains, epic quests, dragons, fairies, elves and beastfolk of every sort, almost as much as Jack loved hearing them. As Jack grew up, he never grew out of hearing the seemingly neverending number of stories that Artemis told him.
One fateful day, Jack receives a letter from Artemis, hinting at a new quest for him to take. This quest leads Jack to discover some long hidden family secrets, along with the unexpected accidental discovery of a portal that would take him to the world he thought existed only in the stories he grew up hearing.
With this discovery, Jack soon learns that the fantasy stories he grew up listening to are actually far more real than he ever imagined, and his role in the stories to come is only beginning.

Six Moons, Seven Gods by Robert A. Walker

When the idyllic world of medieval Baelon is fractured by the murderous Takers Guild, a battle for control ensues between the forces of good and evil. The long fingers of the guild reach everywhere. Headquartered deep in the Lawless Lands, its supreme leader, the Magister, weaves a complex web of death and deceit. With an army at his disposal, he enlists the aid of assassins and thieves–masters in the art of illusion and trickery–to kill both monarchs of Baelon and add to his trove of buried treasure. Joining forces to stop him are a prescient woman and her brooding daughter (who turns out to have skills of her own), a retired royal guard still loyal to the crown, and a clever marshal leading the king’s army. Welcome to the world of Baelon, where loyalty and treachery live under the same roof; where friendships are formed and tested, true love is made to wait, and dangerous secrets are held close to allegiant hearts.
Nothing’s as it seems, and everything’s at stake.
Six Moons, Sevens Gods is Book One in the award-winning Legends of Baelon series.

The Eye of Nefertiti: A Pharaoh’s Cat Novel by Maria Luisa Lang

Now a New Yorker, the Pharaoh’s cat–the ancient Egyptian feline with human powers–travels back in time to free Egypt’s legendary Queen Nefertiti from a horrific curse, discovering firsthand why her mummy has never been found and her famous bust is missing one eye.

As in the first Pharaoh’s cat novel, the cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The Eye of Nefertiti also interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It too contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture. Added to all this is an ingenious use of the Tarot and Italian opera.

The cat is living happily in New York City with the High Priest, Elena, daughter of an Egyptologist, and their infant son, the cat’s beloved Pharaoh reincarnated, when the supernatural gradually intrudes in the form of phantasms, the plot of an Italian opera, a Tarot card reading, and an unexpected summons to present-day Bath Spa disguised as an opportunity for Elena.

She and the little Pharaoh travel conventionally while the cat and the High Priest take the little boat they use for time travel and are diverted to ancient Stonehenge for a brief stop-over. The figure at the center of their encounter with the Druids has been prefigured in the cat’s phantasms, the Italian opera, and the Tarot reading, all his uncanny experiences being in accord with a single design.

Reunited with Elena and the infant Pharaoh in Bath, the cat and the High Priest discover a secret tomb below the Georgian house where they are staying, and are soon impelled to journey to ancient Egypt in the time of Queen Nefertiti to save her from a horrific curse. They become separated as they search for Nefertiti and the cat has several adventures before finding her on his own.

He undertakes an ingenious deception to stay close to her without revealing his identity. Being so close, he falls in love with her. He succeeds in lifting the horrific curse at great cost to himself. Despite his love, he surrenders Nefertiti to history and, mourning his loss, descends into a psychological abyss so deep only the Pharaoh can save him.

The Pharaoh’s Cat by Maria Luisa Lang

Suddenly talking and walking upright, a stray tomcat in ancient Egypt becomes the young Pharaoh’s intimate and, when accused of his murder, time travels to New York City and learns how to raise him from the dead.

The cat is quick-witted, wisecracking narrator as well as free-spirited, ever-curious protagonist, and the story he tells is an exotic, imaginative, spell-binding tragicomedy. The novel interweaves feline and human, past and present, natural and supernatural. It contains numerous surprises, twists and turns, intriguing characters, both human and animal, fascinating revelations about ancient Egyptian history and culture.

While exploring a looted tomb in ancient Egypt, the cat is kicked in the ass by the Vizier, the Pharaoh’s uncle and the second in power only to him. Able to speak as a result, the cat immediately gives voice to his intelligence and sense of humor and captivates the young Pharaoh, making him laugh for the first time since his parents’ death. The cat becomes the Pharaoh’s constant companion and, at the royal palace and on a tour of Egypt, participates in the festivities, developing an insatiable appetite for good food, wine, and gossip. Gradually, he renews the Pharaoh’s ability to enjoy life and inspires him to become a stronger leader. The bond of selfless love they share will change Egypt’s destiny.

The cat has a good friend in the High Priest of the god Amun-Ra and seeks his help in solving the mystery of his human powers and the supernatural manifestations that plague him. He has a mortal enemy in the cat-kicking Vizier, who hates him for his close relationship with the Pharaoh. The Vizier eventually murders the Pharaoh and accuses the cat, who flees by time-traveling with the High Priest to New York City, where they find an ally in an Egyptologist’s daughter.

In New York, they go to an ancient Egyptian exhibit, end up in Central Park, then at a cathedral, and later retrieve a lost spell to revive the dead. They return to Egypt to revive the Pharaoh, but the spell fails to work till Bastet appears to ask the cat to give his life in return for the Pharaoh’s. He says yes, but Bastet only needed him to agree for the spell to work. The Pharaoh is resurrected, kills the Vizier in battle, then returns to the world above after making the High Priest pharaoh in his place.

The High Priest reigns for seven years with the cat at his side. A rebellion forces them to return to New York City, where they find Elena pregnant with the High Priest’s child. For her, only months have passed. The cat immediately senses that the child she carries is the Pharaoh reincarnated.

Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons

Oaths of Blood is an action-packed grimdark historical fantasy set during the Crusades, in the vein of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne.

In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city.

But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way…

After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose’s lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine. With the aid of a secretive party of warriors, he must track down the man who ripped out his throat in the blink of an eye, for if he does not, his future as a human will be short.

As he crawls deeper into the shadows, it is clear, only oaths made in blood survive.

A war-filled journey through the crusades and into the depths of the ancient Noctis Bellum. Filled with legendary characters both barbaric and gray, driven by valor and treachery alike!

“Bloody, brutal, and brilliantly action-packed. Historical fantasy that will sink its fangs into you!” — Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade

“The characters, the prose, the dialogue and the action all blend perfectly into a heady tale fit for a king’s mead hall. And it’s only just beginning. Well done and five stars.” —Eric Schumacher, bestselling author of God’s Hammer, Hakon’s Saga

“I thought the plot was great. By chapter 2, I was fully invested. By chapter 6 I was engrossed and had to know more right now. The twists and turns it takes you on, plus the well written and beautifully described action/fighting senes – it’s reminiscent of John Gwynne and Joe Abercrombie.” – Stress Reader
