The year is 2022. Spanish teacher Christopher Reyes leads a completely normal life in the city of Eternity Grove. He has a good job at a public school, goes out with his friends, and gets along with his ex-girlfriend. But Chris’ perfect and routine life suffers a dark twist when strange things start happening.

Not knowing whom to trust, Chris will immerse himself in the mysteries surrounding certain Eternity Grove citizens and, in a race to remain sane, will have to discover the motives behind the supernatural events while at the same time trying to escape from them.

Through the Ages by David Miller

About Through the Ages by David Miller

It’s darkest before the dawn, but is it darker than a vampire’s soul?

For 400 Years Saito Izumi Has Struggled with What It Means to be Kyuuketsuki–A Japanese Vampire!

In Feudal Japan, during an attack on Kumamoto Castle from a horde of swarming yōkai— mythical creatures born from the darkest depths of Japanese folklore—the samurai Saito Izumi will be forever changed. By morning’s dawn, Saito will be kyuuketsuki, a Japanese vampire!

Join Saito in Feudal Japan as she confronts an army of thunder-beasts, ogre-like oni, and the seductive spider-whore jorōgumo. Creatures as diverse as they are deadly. Then travel with the former samurai as she battles 18th Century Spanish soldiers and vampires along the Spanish Main. Stand with her as she wages war against shape-shifting Mexican nagual, fighting alongside the likes of Davy Crockett, William Travis, and James Bowie to defend the Alamo.

In this heart-wrenching collection of original stories are four terrifying tales from Saito Izumi’s centuries of existing—she doesn’t consider it living—that explore her dangerous and deep personal journey to understand the blackest darkness of an inhuman soul, to discover what it means to live and not simply survive, and most important of all, to learn if a vampire can triumph over evil and truly love again.

The Irish Cycle Series – A unique urban fantasy adventure with a mix of mythological and supernatural elements set in contemporary and historical America.

The Entrenched and the Eternal: A battle between two rivals — conflict and tensions abound! by TK. WATKINS

About The Entrenched and the Eternal: A battle between two rivals — conflict and tensions abound! by TK. WATKINS

A slow afternoon at Sal’s Tavern ends with a pair of long-time barflies at odds with each other, leading them to reveal a much longer feud that connects them to a mysterious and seemingly dubious past they share. Are their stories to be believed or are they just putting one on?

Merle and Herb have been frequenting Sal’s Tavern for years, mingling and mixing it up with the other regulars who’ve pulled up to the bar, knocked down a cold one, and shot the breeze. But today is no ordinary day — it quickly devolves into a weird and unsettling muddle. As both men erupt in a fiery dust-up with each other, Merle candidly sheds light on an allegedly long, sweeping past they shared, one entangled in arcane mysticism and hidden, far-reaching secrets concealed from the world. But when he mentions their history goes back centuries, it’s enough to write them off as just another couple of windbags spinning folk tales. However, for all the hot air generally spewed at Sal’s, one thing becomes clear: if you think your life is a drag, just listen to the guy sitting next to you. It can be a whole lot worse — even the epitome of hell.

The Entrenched and the Eternal is a story of lost ambitions, egomania, and unquenchable greed.
