Book One of the Fallen Lands Trilogy
by Patrick Park-Tighe
With a single, desperate cut of the knife, naïve and reckless Cat Calhoun finds himself forced into an unfamiliar landscape of intrigue and danger. Caught between a murderous giant and a hardly helpless pirate girl, Cat's split second decision leaves him adrift in the Fallen Land's shadowy world of sea-robbers, madmen and cutthroats--a place where politics and prophecies collide. Now, the further he travels from the mundane comforts of home, the deeper the mystery grows around the untested farm boy and the Shadow staining the land from Sturmgard to the Summer Coast and beyond. The Fallen Lands Trilogy can be described as a coming-of-age story where love and loss shape characters and destinies. Unique to this series is the role of the Archtypes. In the books' mythology, the Archtypes are the physical embodiment of the familiar elements driving modern narratives. The Hero, Shadow, Oracle and Trickster are all at play, struggling to understand their purpose and place, while caught between free will and pre-destination.

FictionAugust 2014Diamond Fields
by Randall Reneau
Geologist Trace Brandon has traded mining in Washington State for the sunshine and warm waters of the Cayman Islands. For the past year, his only encounters with crooks have been social, and no one has tried to kill him.

In the steamy backwater city of Monrovia, Trace and his partner, Will Coffee, team up with expat mining engineer Gordon Watson and an Idaho potato-farmer-turned-diamond-miner known as the “Mormon.” Together, they will make an extraordinary find—what miners call a “First Water Stone.” When rebels attempt a coup, Trace and his partners are caught up in violence and treachery that threaten to engulf them all . . .

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2014Meeting With Aoratos
Revelations of a God
by Howard Baker
Aoratos is an old friend, an illuminating energy which arrives without warning. It can be male or female, if such an impression is necessary, or androgynous when gender is immaterial. These visitations occur during or immediately after meditation, or more usually when least expected, during work or some other relaxed state when the mind is productively occupied. Sometimes it arrives within the body of a fellow human being, distinct and separate from the resident soul, and speaks through that person, and sometimes it makes an appearance during dreams, although the latter is by far the rarest and sometimes incomprehensible. This work has evolved as a result of several visitations experienced during a period of fairly intense work among friends and acquaintances and while writing not only for myself but for national publications specialising in the field of MBS (mind, body, spirit). The message which came through loud and clear was that much on offer to the general public was not only misleading but dangerous insofar as the methods targeting those desirous of spiritual self-improvement could in fact be destabilising to some of the more sensitive types among us. Some claims were outrageously misleading while others were quite simply nonsense. Worth remembering is that meddlers in matters of spirit are subject to the laws of Karmic return, that any ‘work’ they do is ultimately subjective. The messages that subsequently came through from Aoratos were succinct and often surprising, and I was instructed to weave them into a parable, or light-hearted fictional essay of my own invention to make the work eminently readable to the general public while offering a flow of real energy and a raise in frequency to those on a reciprocal wavelength.
