The Sceptre: A Jonster the Monster and the Bear Adventure

Mindstir Media Publishing — Sun, 29 Aug 2021 19:11:43 +0000

Did you ever dream of traveling to an alternate universe? I actually did it. I am the Bear, high school kid.

My life-long wish has been to find my mother who disappeared when I was a baby. And Indian medicine man told me it was possible to find her, but I would have to look in the magical kingdom of his ancestors. My friends said they would go with me if I gave it a shot. So I did. Be careful what you wish for. We promptly found ourselves in a fantasy land where we met Uriah, a talking cocker spaniel. He told me my destiny was sealed by an ancient scroll that prophesied an unlikely hero who would come out of nowhere to save his homeland from destruction by an evil king. He said I was that hero. No pressure.

Life in Uriah's world is one big twist. Nothing is what it seems. Both good and evil attempt to trick me at every turn, and I continually struggle to separate illusion from reality. My friends might not b e who I think they are, and I am forced to trust my life to a lovable, but self-centered dog. I could use a little help. Join me. Together we can solve the secret of the Sceptre.

The Paradox of Pain by L.A. Kendrick

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 19:45:29 +0000

As the prophecy was foretold, the fall of a hero, the blood of an innocent, two books of the dead, and the fall of a god. These are the ingredients that are needed to rule this universe, but there was a fail safe put in place long ago to prevent such an act. "The Syndicate of Sin," was the last of the insane groups stopped by Relick and Warcast before they could gather these much needed things. Or so they thought, hiding in the shadows and dark places of the world grew whispers of Osiris putting together a team that would succeed where others had failed. Despite the warnings from Anubis, that a great and powerful force would emerge when a planet where gods once ruled stepped out of the past to reclaim former power. Add to the fact when a civilization lost morals, ethics, and total disregard for its fellow kind. This unstoppable force would manifest and purge all remembrance, knowledge, and space of that timeline out of existence without compromise. All would fall in its path good and evil alike. Will the "Celestial Seven" be able to stop this impending carnage that is to come, or will Osiris's newly formed "Paradox of Pain" prevail and bring about the ruin of us all? Finally "The Celestial Seven" V.S. "The Paradox of Pain" for the fate of our reality and timeline let the battle begin!

The Medelia Chronicles: In The Beginning

admin — Tue, 08 Jan 2019 01:55:44 +0000

The Medelia Chronicles retell the story of the mythological hero. Students of mythology would argue that the hero's journey is everyone's journey, each reader reliving the drama of that ancient story. Hidden in the retelling is the road map for the understanding of our lives, how we treat one another and wish to be treated, our tolerance for the perceived differences in others, and our deep longing to be connected to each other and to something greater than ourselves. In The Beginning, the first of six books in Mundahl's magical adventures, opens with the creation of the ninth world, Medelia, the World of the Humans. After the creation, there is perfect peace for twenty-four generations. The period of harmony ends when one of the seven creators, Orbenos, betrays the humans by whispering his name and role in creation to a young man, Thomas Hunter, from the Kingdom of Moriand. With the breaking of his sacred promise to remain anonymous, Orbenos is banished from the Heart of Heavens. As a result of the betrayal, the eight Laws of Understanding, the cornerstones of the World of the Humans, are weakened and at risk of dying. If their light fades completely, Medelia will slip into darkness from which there may be no return. Thomas' grandson, Charlie, sets off on a quest to safeguard the laws and in so doing retells the ancient story for us all.

admin — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 00:08:39 +0000

Free Spacer, a light-hearted romp, centers on 'spacer' Aaron Maxwell as he explores his end of the galaxy with his ship the Achilles Bane and the less than accommodating AI, Genie. Along the way he meets the blue feathered Zemmings, a polite epicurean species for whom food means much more than mere sustenance but whose tastes definitely leave something to be desired. He renews his friendship with an old Jarmooth platoon mate only to find himself unexpectedly an accomplice to bride stealing and ship theft. He also discovers the small cyclopean race of Hellions whose tragic plight inspires the good-hearted spacer to make every effort to free them. Then there are the brutal and acquisitive, if oh so pious Gar, who seem to always turn up to complicate Aaron's life. But ultimately while attempting to rescue the marooned survivors of a Zeno-archaeological expedition, he finds that there may be things in the universe more dangerous to his way of life than the Gar!
