Just Published: THE HUNTER OF THE DEAD (And The Kiss Of Persephone) a new Fantasy drama about fateful consequences that occupies the same fantasy realm as Deus Ex Machina: A Divine Comedy. It is a MATURE exploration of the famous myth about Hades and Persephone.
Most of my work is acceptable for teenagers on up, with very little foul language but there tend to be in the Flanion series of epics non-explicit, but serious adult situations. Compassion lies at the heart of most of my work.
As I said, there are some decidedly adult situations in the fantasy series that starts with Flanion and runs through to Marlorat, but again, nothing explicit. I tend to imply situations or discuss them without being overtly prurient.
Deus Ex Machina and The Jinniyah take place in this world and time.
The other fantasy books form a series that does not take place here. Their events unfold in this order:
FLANION, PTS. 1 & 2
A GOOD VILLAIN
THE BOOK OF PRINCELINGS
NUNEAU
GATHLON
CAERMON
and
MARLORAT, which is the last and is different in that it is decidedly more romantic in purpose,
and lastly, the fantasy comic adventure
ROCKWELL AND SPURLOCK.

Print: $18.95 Stewart Dunk's humble life takes an unexpected turn for the better when six very strange strangers move into the derelict house next door one Friday morning and begin renovations. The house next door is not the only thing they are there to renovate though. Stewart Dunk getting the life he deserves is their main goal, but to accomplish this they must make sure he gets back together with his long lost sweetheart Juliet, drive off his selfish, maneating mother Udela, his equally selfish, womanizing older brother Aiken, and at least throw his smarter than thou middle brother Erian off-kilter. In the meantime, these strangers, who go by the names of Apollo, Athena, Mars, Venus, Medusa, and Hermes, are grappling with their own baggage, which they've been carrying around since well before a certain war in the Aegean a very long time ago. The trick is to help Stewart get a good life at last without throttling each other in the process.
This is the global distribution edition that can be purchased anywhere.

Print: $19.95 An intensely erotic, epic love story that goes into and beyond the original Greek myths - THE HUNTER OF THE DEAD ... and The Kiss of Persephone - returns to the classical tale of Hades and Persephone for a fresh look from a thoughtfully considered perspective. What begins as an act of petty malice by Zeus changes the whole world when he instigates the fateful encounter between the fearsome hunter Eros and the Lord of the Underworld Hades that leads to the abduction of Kore. Unable to change her fate, Kore becomes Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, arbitrator between the realms of the Living and the Dead, and the Consort of Hades. Their union is tested by the fateful consequences when a foul entity - UPIR LIKHYI - escapes the Underworld and becomes Vampyr, one who is determined to remain free even if it means usurping the Underworld and seizing Persephone for himself. This is a darker, companion novel to the comedy DEUS EX MACHINA: A DIVINE COMEDY.
