by Michael Dadich

This Young Adult Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel, an extraordinary
tale of two inter-connected planets fighting evil, is available at
Amazon

~~~~~~~~~~

Shelby Pardow never imagined she could kill someone. All she
wants to do is hide from her troubled father... when she is teleported to
awaiting soldiers on the planet Azimuth. Here she is not a child, but Kin to
one of the six Aulic Assembly members whom Malefic Cacoethes has drugged and
imprisoned. He seeks to become dictator of this world (and then Earth by
proxy).

His father, Biskara, is an evil celestial entity, tracked by
the Assembly with an armillary device, The Silver Sphere. With the Assembly now
deposed, Biskara directs Malefic and the Nightlanders to their strategic
targets. Unless....

Can Shelby find the other Kin, and develop courage and
combat skills? Can the Kin reassemble in time to release or replace the
Assembly, overthrowing Malefic and restraining Biskara?

Praise for
The Silver Sphere
:

"
The Silver Sphere
is an excellent, epic fantasy
novel. The creatures are truly amazing, one of my favorites being Baku the
dream eater. The last few chapters had me rifling through the pages as the build
up to the ending was well paced. This reminded me of
LOTR
meets
The
Hunger Games
. I highly recommend it for fans of the genre!" –

"I love how the author expertly mixes the fantasy and
sci-fi elements together. I felt like I was reading
Star Wars
and
Harry
Potter
all rolled into one. I hope this becomes a series of books because
we are sad we finished it so fast." -
Skaara

"A geek to the core, I surround myself with books in
the Fantasy and Sci-Fi genres. A total
Potter
head,
Hunger Games
fanatic,
Lord of the Rings
fan-girl... These types of collections I must
always have in hard cover. Give me extras!!! Collectors editions, maps,
illustrations, posters, calendars, replicas.... I know, I know. What is the
point of all this hubbub? My point is simply this...
The Silver Sphere
has made the ranks with some of my all time favorite books!" -
Arrienne

"
The Silver Sphere
is a fast-paced, well written
action adventure. I found the characters and creatures to be extraordinary. The
plot is unique and revolves around Shelby and her fellow "Kin," six
teenagers that unknowingly (at first) are called to battle against an ancient
evil. I bought the kindle version after viewing the cool book trailer on the
author's page on Amazon. The cover and artwork inside are well done, and the
glossary was also very helpful. I think fans of
The Hunger Games
as well
as
Star Wars
would enjoy this. My kids are reading it next. They can't
wait based on how much I liked it. A definite Christmas present this
year." -

EULOGY

by D.T. Conklin

This dark, epic fantasy novel is available at
Amazon
.

~~~~~

"They'll stand amongst the corpses of the beloved."
That's what he said at the end, though I never considered myself one of the beloved,
not at the beginning. I was simply a terrified woman then, but now... now I understand.
Maybe I wish I didn't.

Void take me, this is so demon-damned hard.

In the beginning, he loved me. Irony, it twists and twirls
like a lover's song, but this is hardly a lover's tale. It's one of blades and blood.
I wish I could've seen it sooner, but that would've been too easy. I wouldn't have
learned to love him.

~~~~~

Praise for
Eulogy
:

"Conklin writes with a poet's flair, using minimal words
to deliver maximum dramatic impact. Visceral, shocking, and deeply imaginative,
Eulogy
pushes to the edge . . . and then dives right over it. An unapologetic,
no-holds-barred descent into madness--yet there is method in it. Readers with the
fortitude to take the plunge stand to be rewarded with what may go down as one of
the most ambitious, redefining forays into epic fantasy of all time." –
Eldon
Thompson, Author of
The Divine Talisman

"Some epic fantasies are straightforward tales of magic
and adventure, where a band of heroes fights and defeats an evil overlord.
Eulogy
is not such a tale. Conklin's book overflows with magic and adventure, but the book
is a puzzle -- a maze of secrets and wonders, implications and hidden meanings.
A treat for readers who love a challenge!" –
Tom Crosshill,
Nebula-nominated Author

"Conklin manages to write a book that is at once recognizable
as fantasy but at the same time wholly his own. There are the escapists conventions:
swords, battles, beautiful women, and magic, but it's this last one, magic, where
the genre is subverted in the best way possible. In the world of
Eulogy
,
the system of magic is reality-bending, and as such functions on a philosophical
and psychological level, posing existential questions while swords flash in the
foreground. I don't want to scare away readers who are in it for the adventure.
There is always that, too, from personal quests to wars that sweep across the whole
landscape. I just want to point out that there is something beyond the surface,
and for readers like myself, who come to the fantasy genre only rarely, it's pleasant
to find a book that successfully explores the deeper side of things while remaining
thoroughly entertaining." –
Zach Powers "wordist"

"Conklin has written one of those books that gets in to
your brain and whispers to you anytime you aren't reading it. The adventure is very
much your own for with his characters, Conklin draws from the reader the magic they
didn't realize they were bringing with them. Like most stories the overarching battle
is good against evil, the characters each must face the darkness and demons that
lie inside the soul of anyone who loves, hates, strives, and suffers. Some win.
Some lose." –

DEAD RADIANCE

(A Valkyrie Novel – Book 1)

This YA Fantasy Romantic Adventure featuring Valkyries
and Norse Gods is now available at
Amazon
.

~~~~~

...That day I knew for sure. I'd lost control of my tears
then. They fell in huge, mocking drops. I stared at Joshua through those bitter
tears, my heart missing beats as I tried to remember to breathe.

I finally knew what the glow meant.

I was a freak and Joshua was going to die...."

~~~~~~~~~~

Bryn Halbrook had always seen the glow. But it is only when
her best friend dies that she discovers the meaning of those beautiful golden
auras—Death. Alone, lost in the foster system, she struggles to understand who
she is and why she was cursed with the ability to see the soon-to-be-dead.

The new foster kid, Aidan, isn’t helping any. Mr. Perfect
seems to fit in no matter what, making her feel even more pathetic. But when
his affections turn to her, Bryn finds him hard to resist. Impossible,
actually. A mystery himself, Aidan disappears, leaving behind a broken heart
and a mysterious book that suggests Bryn might not be entirely human.

Bryn stands at the threshold of a journey of discovery. Will
destiny help her find herself, find her purpose and her place in a world in
which she’d never belonged?
