The Hand You're Dealt: A Urban College #Romance by Quan Williams

Quan Williams was born and raised in Flint, MI, and has always had a love for stories. His earliest inspirations come from having his 2nd-grade teacher read classic stories like The Hobbit, Charlotte’s Web, and Winnie The Pooh to him in class. Around that time, his parents supported his appetite for fiction by subscribing him to the Star Wars comic book series. A chance encounter with a ripped up Batman comic book on the way home from school (of which he collected all of the loose pages, took them home, and put them together in order) prompted Quan to shift from consuming stories to creating them.

Quan honed his writing craft at the University of Michigan, where he studied creative writing under the tutelage of novelists Jonis Agee (Strange Angels, South of Resurrection) and Tish O’Dowd Ezekiel (Floaters). He also found time to write and illustrate three comic books and work as an entertainment journalist for the Michigan Daily Newspaper for three years. It is while in college that Quan gained a passion for gaming, and sought to ply his talents co-creating the rules and design for Transformers Battlecards, a trading card game based on the popular toy franchise. This game was eventually opted by Hasbro and turned into Beast Wars: The Mutating Card Game.

Since graduating, Quan has jumped at every opportunity to bring his wild ideas to life. He wrote the short story “That Weird Kid” which was published by The web magazine Storiesthatlift.com, before writing the young adult novel The Leopard Man. He created, designed and self-published the Organized Crime-based card game Syndicate: The Underworld and took third place in a worldwide online fantasy short story contest. He wrote, illustrated and programmed two webcomics, one of which (The Seizure) was collected and published as a trade paperback. He wrote the business/family melodrama Double Entry which was published by Red Rose Publishing. His sci-fi horror novel, Godmode, was recently picked up by Necro Publications. and King Jewel Publications has published The Hand You're Dealt, a literary love story set between his Alma Mater in Ann Arbor and the city of Detroit.

Quan is currently seeking representation for two fantasy novels he has just completed; one being an Urban "Indiana Jones"-styled Fantasy Thriller, and the other the first entry of a High Fantasy Epic trilogy.

When he is not creating, he enjoys the company of his loved ones, whether it be playing card games with his wife, or playing Magic: the Gathering with his brother, or talking about the craft of writing with his Godsister, or discussing Comic Books, Sports and Pro Wrestling with friends. He loves working with children and strives to teach them and encourage them to express themselves creatively and pursue their dreams, no matter how far-fetched others might think they are.


About the Book


Jay is an ambitious, charismatic college student actively looking for love in Ann Arbor, MI. He is undeterred by past failures, and eventually finds Tika, a tough but beautiful coed with a big heart and an explosive temper. They meet, bond and grow their relationship over monthly games of spades with their eclectic circle of friends. Their love is put to the test early and often during their college years, and the tests get even tougher after they graduate. Jay lives in Detroit, and deals with the disillusionment and disappointment of dreams deferred while selling vacuum cleaners – and his blood – to pay escalating bills. Tika supports his now fragile ego as he desperately searches for a better job, but she has problems of her own: namely, coming to terms with the sudden appearance of a father who had been absent for her entire life, along with the dark family secrets his return dredges up. Tika's father makes Jay an offer he can't refuse, but Jay turns it down and infuriates Tika by not telling her why. This could be the one obstacle their time-tested love can't overcome and may send Tika moving back to her beloved Chicago without her soon-to-be EX-boyfriend.

About the Book


“...it’s about Mount Olympus-sized family expectations. But it’s also about love and respect and profound human connections.”
— Superhero Novels ("Twilight of the Gods")

“Gritty, bloody and altogether emotionally charged.”
— Amazon Review

Supervillain. Popstar.

Sometimes the life we’re given isn’t the life we’d choose for ourselves.

For the past five years, Dan Galkin has been lying to everyone about just how ordinary he is. But Dan’s the grandson of The Mad Russian: one of the world’s most powerful (and insane) supervillains. And Dan has powers too. He’s a living battery, able to absorb and discharge electricity with his mind. Normally he keeps his powers hidden, but when the old man returns with an offer to make his grandson heir apparent, any chance at an ordinary life is blown apart.

Miranda Brody thought she wanted to be a pop star, but now she’s got the international profile and the entourage, she doesn’t recognise the Miranda she has become. After getting caught up in the cross-fire between Dan and his grandfather, Miranda realises there’s more to life than being famous. Staying alive, for example, becomes a high priority. And not falling in love with the pizza boy comes a close second.

Labelled by society, trapped by expectation.

Dan and Miranda might actually be able to change everything.

As long as they don’t kill each other first.

Black Wolf: The Binding of Loki - A #Mythological Epic #Fantasy by Una Verdandi

Una Verdandi is a writer of science fiction and fantasy novels. When she is not exorcising her muses into a Word document, she is probably painting, embroidering, or pondering the meaning of life. (Just kidding—life is meaningless.) As a professional editor, she helps other fiction authors mold their demons into a marketable form and tidies up legalese and financial babble for corporate clients.

Una lives in Toronto with a very vocal tabby cat and at most one potted plant. She would like to keep more greenery, but the only thing she can successfully grow is her to-be-read pile because the cat eats her plants when she’s not looking. She has concluded that she should just get more cats and be done with it.


About the Book


Odin has established absolute dominion over the Nine Worlds, but he knows that one day a Jötun named Loki will destroy everything he has created. To avert a bloody war, he adopts the peculiar child and forges a bond of kinship with him. However, when a powerful seeress foretells the coming of Ragnarök, Odin and Frigg begin to redirect the course of their foster son’s life. As the future’s shadow grows longer, their measures grow more desperate.

Embittered by Odin's manipulations, Loki becomes ever more sly and secretive; when he discovers that his brothers have betrayed him at Odin’s command, he spirals into madness. Soon, Loki and Odin are circling one another, and the fate of the worlds depends on two men who will sacrifice everything to get what they want.

The Secrets of Hawthorne House: A #YA #Paranormal #Mystery by Donald Firesmith

A geek by day, Donald Firesmith works as a system and software engineer helping the US Government acquire large, complex software-intensive systems. In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember. He's also proud to have been named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, although his pride is tempered somewhat by his fear that the term "distinguished" makes him sound like a graybeard academic rather than an active engineer whose beard is still slightly more red than gray.

By night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action, and adventure novels and relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his wife Becky, and his son Dane, and varying numbers of dogs, cats, and birds.
