“About emb.iwrite@gmail.com:

The former Light-Bringer’s time to rule is coming. And there’s nothing humanity can do about it. Yet the Devil is prophesied to lose everything in the end. Destiny or not, the fallen Archangel has other plans.

Thus the tumultuous last stages of a conflict as old as time. Fought in this world. With the weapons and science of humanity.

But though the time of the Apocalypse is nearing, Heaven waits. And in preparation for the final conflict, the minions of Hell have started infesting the world. Corrupting humanity and stealing the heavenly spark that connects mortals to God. Unless stopped, when the end comes, most of the divine power that exists in every person will belong to the Adversary. The Serpent has no plans of losing again. With enough heavenly power, he believes that even a divine prophecy can be broken.

Against the forces of Hell, it falls to the shoulders of a few good men and women at the side of diminished angels to delay Armageddon. A retrograde action against the forces of darkness.

One of them is Keith A. North, SEAL E-6, left for dead in the sandbox. Recruited by the secretive Khamsa, an organization almost as old as recorded history, he learns how to fight against nightmares made real. Limited by rules as ancient as the struggle against Hell.

“About Planar Wars: Apertures (Book 1):

A disastrous top-secret military experiment. An amateurish foray into the boundaries of cutting-edge physics and dimensional rifts. Now, worlds and dimensions are merging and fantasy bites our reality.

You suddenly wake up to a world merging with other realities. Dimensions where your sense of normalcy and way of life do not mean anything. Finding out that most modern inventions do not work anymore. Where your very flesh and bones are prized by monstrous predators and powerful beings the like you’ve never seen nor heard before. Worlds only whispered of in rare ancient texts and surreal pictographs.

And more realities are being forcibly brought into this plane of existence. What would you do? How will you survive?

Series Prologue

Diary Entry
December 2019

Hello. I am Eric Weber.
I am twenty-six at the time of writing this.
I am with my girlfriend, Jen Stuart, and it’s now December 2019; I have no idea about the date. Running for your life makes you forget those things. Not that digital watches and cell phones are of any help in our situation.
The assault on the town’s defensive grid also brought with it that bizarre energy field which rendered modern gadgets useless.
The weather outside is freezing, so we’re holed up here in this abandoned hunting cabin and I decided to make the most of our time by writing these notes. Or do we call them memoirs? A diary? I really don’t know.
We intend to reach another reported safe area across the border in Saskatchewan, Canada. Other safe zones were mentioned in the last report we heard but they’re all too far away for us. Hopefully, we’ll make it to an existing safe zone.
The list of sites, though, is shrinking day by day. But the report we have is now a week old, dated from the day before the Great Falls Defense Area fell. That’s in Montana, by the way. We’re lucky we got away. I really don’t know if it’s still valid–but what other option did we have?
I am human, by the way (in case some other entity gets hold of this record). We were the dominant species on this planet until what we call the Event happened.
Now, we don’t know who’s the top dog on this planet we call Earth.

Hell, we don’t even know what we’re sharing the place with.

“About The Lover’s Portrait: An Art Mystery:

When a Dutch art dealer hides the stock from his gallery – rather than turn it over to his Nazi blackmailer – he pays with his life, leaving a treasure trove of modern masterpieces buried somewhere in Amsterdam, presumably lost forever. That is, until American art history student Zelda Richardson sticks her nose in.

After studying for a year in the Netherlands, Zelda scores an internship at the prestigious Amsterdam Historical Museum, where she works on an exhibition of paintings and sculptures once stolen by the Nazis, lying unclaimed in Dutch museum depots almost seventy years later.

When two women claim the same painting, the portrait of a young girl entitled Irises, Zelda is tasked with investigating the painting’s history and soon finds evidence that one of the two women must be lying about her past. Before she can figure out which one it is and why, Zelda learns about the Dutch art dealer’s concealed collection. And that Irises is the key to finding it all.

Her discoveries make her a target of someone willing to steal – and even kill – to find the missing paintings. As the list of suspects grows, Zelda realizes she has to track down the lost collection and unmask a killer if she wants to survive.

“About The Accidental Archmage: Book One – Ragnarok Rising:

An epic fantasy on another world. With a modern twist.

What if you fell through a crack in reality? Like those people disappearing in plain sight you have read about.

What if you find yourself in a strangely familiar world? A world full of Earth’s mythological beings, lost civilizations, and people from its primitive and brutal past? Where magical energy still exists. Where gods play games among themselves, with the fate of mortal men as pawns. A land where a sword is deadlier than a five-inch thick contract drawn by a hotshot lawyer. Would you survive?

That’s Tyler West. Alone, lost and bewildered, the three moons in the sky made it clear he wasn’t on Earth anymore. It is not a game. It’s real. And there’s no coffee, pizza, fries, or his favorite show on HBO.

“About Perfectly Matched:

Nikki Eben has had a rough start to her life and learned a few harsh lessons, one of which is about trusting people. Kicked out long ago for a single mistake—she lost her friends, reputation, and family, but gained a loving child and her faith. It took a long time to get on her feet and raise her child by herself, but knowing that there’s always a hand guiding her has kept her strong at her weakest moments—until she met Jakob.

Dr. Jakob Marlin was aghast at the sight of his new car being destroyed by the mischievous toddler running amok, and the fact that he was being reprimanded for it by the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. Between the fierce verbal lashing from the young woman, to the chastising he was getting from his own mother on how he was raised not to yell at a woman, he knew something had to give!

Who says that everyone is happy and jolly during the Christmas season?

But when fate throws them together once again, perhaps it’s a sign from Above that part of being a good Christian was forgiveness and caring for others. Sometimes love comes when you least expect it. Discover a story full of tenderness, laughter, and joy as two lost hearts suddenly find that they are Perfectly Matched.
