In the sweltering heart of Juba, South Sudan, three spies—Jamal, Budge, and Howe—arrive from Egypt, charged with a clandestine mission to uncover plans for a proposed dam along the sacred Nile—no matter what the cost. Though shrouded in initial apprehension in the face of the poverty and lawlessness of South Sudan’s capital, the three men find themselves unexpectedly welcomed by warmth and hospitality. Despite cultural and language barriers, brutal heat, and the possibility of their cover being blown after a night of alcohol-fueled bravado, the men are more determined than ever to complete their mission. Howe enlists the help of two orphaned children: Patrick, who is deaf, and Garang, both of whom possess an intimate knowledge of the Nile's winding secrets. Caught between increasingly dangerous forces—anticipatory anxiety, treacherous environments, and deadly wildlife—the three spies, along with Patrick and Garang, must decide what to sacrifice, what to salvage, and what secrets to leave behind among Nile foliage. Fast-paced, thought-provoking, and lyrically written, Among Nile Foliage is a spy thriller with a deeply human conflict at its heart.
Word hit a child as hard as a fist. I know because I lived with a wicked witch, whom I called mother, for nearly twenty years. The hurt, pain and suffering caused by constant criticism, belittling and insulting behavior takes many years to get over. I did not know until many years later, that she was sexually abused. Could this be what caused her behavior or the way she treated us? I don't know. My brother and I suffered from such horrors; it is a wonder we made it through. Many folks turn to drugs or alcohol to ease the pain, including myself. However, there is hope, I am proof of that. These are not all my stories; some were told to me by acquaintances and people in AA.

It’s your choice,” says Donovan, and The Path to Fulfillment is her way of leading you on a journey that will bring purpose, joy, love, and gratification.

From the creator of The Dragon Mage Trilogy comes a whole new trilogy that pits technology against magic. Peace had reigned for many generations, and the War of Ages, a battle between mech forces and living beings, had largely been forgotten, as had the use of magic. But through an accidental discovery of an ancient mech ship, Halic, a gnome dedicated to the study of technology, discovers the presence of mech forces on the nearby planets. With some newfound friends, Halic gets drawn into a mission to make others aware of the resurging threat. The races must unite and revive their magical skills to combat the mechs before they take control of all living beings, and potentially annihilate them completely. With records virtually nonexistent, and verbal stories that few believe, can Halic and his companions devise a method of defeating the mechs in time? One thing is certain; magic had prevailed in the past, and magic will desperately be needed again.
