Cradle of Fire by Gail Daley

“Mix a Shoot ‘em-up-Western with Science Fiction and Victorian Steampunk, add a little Mystery and a dash of Romance…”
“A must read, fast-paced Sci-Fi novel of adventure, suspense and romance.”
“A desperate woman takes a perilous gamble to save her family from a brutal murderer.”
They weren’t supposed to see their ‘kindly’ new guardian slaughter three people. But they did see it. Jade knows they can’t go to the police—he owns them. The only choice is to run and hide; but where can a woman and two teenagers go to be safe from a crime lord?
Desperate, she risks taking her family through an illegal Portal to St. Antoni. In the Forbidden Colony they are safe from their former guardian. But she may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire. St. Antoni is a dangerous haven; it’s a planet whose citizens have created a society poles apart from the dystopian earth they fled.
With almost no resources, Jade needs a way to support herself and her siblings in this strange world. When she is offered a job as an illustrator for a book company owned by the elderly Hortense Jones, she jumps at it. Then she meets Hortense’s nephew, the fascinating Levi Jones, a former Enforcer with a dangerous reputation as a gunman. Loyalty to the kindhearted Hortense draws Jade into the deadly feud between the Jones and the Smith families. Can she find happiness on St. Antoni and keep her family safe?

Author Bio:

A writer of Fantasy and Science Fiction stories, Gail has received high praise for her beautifully interlaced, imaginative worlds. She populates her universes with vital and interesting characters, skillfully intertwining their everyday lives with world changing events.
An omnivorous reader, she was inspired by her son, also a writer, to finish some of the incomplete novels she had begun over the years. She is heavily involved in local art groups and fills her time reading, writing, painting in acrylics, and spending time with her husband of 46 plus years.
Gail has a background in business and used this expertise to develop a series of pamphlets (lumped together under the title “The Modern Artist’s Handbook) advising artists and authors about how to improve their bottom line by applying business practices to the development and sale of their work.
Currently her family is owned by two cats, a mischievous young cat called Mab (after the fairy queen of air and darkness) and a mellow Gray Princess named Moonstone. In the past, the family shared their home with many dogs, cats and a Guinea Pig, all of whom have passed over the rainbow bridge. A recent major surgery on her stomach, a bout with breast cancer, and arthritis in her hands have slowed her down a little, but she continues to write and paint.

About Marked

Enter the world of Haven, a world where Camelot, Atlantis, and ancient biblical cities were transplanted to save them from their fates on Earth. A world of myth, dragons, prophesy, magic, and monsters.

Ancient scripture foretells — a child will be born; his coming will bring chaos, ushering the world into an era of blood and fire. He will take the dark throne, and with his might, kill the Sun God, plunging Haven into night.

But there is hope.

The child will be born with markings. Through his marks, the world will know him, so he can be killed to save Haven from his destiny.

When a righteous light mage, Warlock saves a Mayan mother in labor, he finds himself face to face with the marked child. But the innocent life of a child isn’t so easily extinguished. The Warlock makes the impossible choice to hide the marked child from the world and teach him to follow the light. With the direction of the Warlock, maybe then, the prophecies plaguing the Marked can be wrong.

Can the Marked save himself and the world from his grim destiny?

Samuel Gdula is a graduate of SUNY New Paltz with a BA, Summa Cum Laude, in English. He is a member of the Apex Writers Group, an inductee into the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society for two-year Schools, and the Sigma Tau Delta International English Honor Society for four-year schools.

Samuel is a lifelong fan of the fantasy genre, having grown up reading books in the worlds of the Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Elric, Middle Earth, Pathfinder, and more. As early as middle school, he realized that his calling was to pay forward the excitement,
inspiration, and creativity he found in the written word.

A shameless nerd, he has spent much of the last decade playing both tabletop and computer games, in various rules systems, with his close circle of friends. This has provided him with first-hand feedback regarding what fantasy readers look for in a new book or story. Sometimes, they hunger for something unique, which approaches a tale from a fresh perspective. And sometimes a reader might want to kick back, relax, and read, once again, about a band of adventurers exploring a monster-infested dungeon and relieving it of its treasure.

Samuel is Todd Gdula’s son, and they write together in rural Red Hook in upstate New York.

Todd Gdula is a graduate of SUNY Empire State College with a BA, Summa Cum Laude, in creative writing. He is an Alpha Tier inductee of the SALUTE Veterans National Honor Society and a member of the Apex Writers Group.

Todd is a veteran of the US Army, where he served as an infantryman (MOS 11H and 11B) during the Cold War. During his four-year enlistment, he deployed to Central America, Egypt (on Operation Bright Star with the 101st Airborne Division), South Korea (in Pan Mun Jom with the Joint Security Force), To Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Mannheim in West Germany (for Reforger with the 1st Cavalry Division).

Todd retired as a major from the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office in 2012, where he began as a correction officer in 1984. During his twenty-eight-year career, he learned people aren’t always what they seem—and that most are capable of redemption if given the right
tools—and perhaps a hand up.

His exposure to this amazing planet’s incredible people cultivated his interest in language, religion, ethnicity, customs, and food. These interests, along with his creative heroes and mentors, drive his imagination.

Todd is an avid consumer of words—especially fantasy, horror, and science fiction. A
nerd of the highest order, he plays tabletop RPGs (Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Starfinder) twice per week.

Todd is Sam Gdula’s father, and they write together in rural Red Hook in upstate New York.

A high point of his sailing days was crewing on CARYL, winner of the 1929 Seawanhaka International Challenge Cup. He hauled sails, took the wheel, and glimpsed the possibilities of ocean racing. On land in St. Thomas, he climbed rocks along the rough coast, stepped on sea urchins, and watched shooting stars on dark Caribbean nights. Years later, after service in the Navy, he laid his mother to rest in the Caribbean Sea outside of St. Thomas Harbor.

About Portuguese History: A Captivating Guide to the History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire by Captivating History

Two manuscripts in one book:
• History of Portugal: A Captivating Guide to Portuguese History from Ancient Times to the Present
• The Portuguese Empire: A Captivating Guide to the History of Portugal as a Colonial Power and Its Colonies in Asia, North and South America, and Oceania

Portugal, which is located in the Iberian Peninsula, has a rich history that dates to prehistoric times. The first settlers left amazing art behind in the form of rock carvings and rock monoliths. These first peoples never left their country but were integrated into the many societies that came to Portugal over time. There were Phoenician traders, Romans, Germanic tribes, Muslims from North Africa, and Hispanic peoples. This mix of ethnicities resulted in a unique language and culture of the medieval Kingdom of Portugal, and one might even say of the modern-day Portuguese Republic as well.

Even though Portugal is probably best known for exploring the world during the Age of Discovery, the history of mainland Portugal is rarely described outside of the country. This is why the Age of Discovery is only briefly touched upon, as there are many other fascinating things to talk about instead that might be lesser known to readers. The purpose of this book is to familiarize English speakers with the events and personas that built the Portuguese kingdom, its overseas empire, and the state that Portugal is today.

Some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book include:
• Who were the first people that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula?
• What was the early culture and religion of the peninsula?
• Which civilization first discovered the shores of Portugal?
• How did trade with the Phoenicians develop the culture of the indigenous people?
• How did the Carthaginian and Roman wars shape the Iberian Peninsula?
• Why did the Germanic tribes invade the peninsula?
• Did the Iberian Peninsula thrive under Islamic rule?
• Why did the Christian kings of the north launch the Iberian Reconquista?
• How did Afonso I form the medieval Kingdom of Portugal?
• How did the House of Avis rise to power and start the golden age of Portugal?
• Why has Portugal always struggled to preserve its independence?
• What role did the House of Braganza play in the restoration of Portuguese independence?
• How did the empire end, and how did Portugal become a republic?

Some of the topics covered in part 2 of this book include:
• The various wars of conquest
• How the Portuguese navigated around Africa
• Portuguese relations with India
• The establishment of colonies all over the world
• And much more!

Being dyslexic, reading came hard to me. In fact I was put in remedial classes for the first few years of school. It was just a bit of luck that got me tested and put into a special class that got me caught up.

And then boy did I make up for lost time!

I have had more different kinds of jobs than I care to remember but essentially blue collar stuff. Even when I did private sector undercover work it was warehouse type gigs.

But something in me was always pushing me to write.

The problem was there were a lot of other somethings pushing back…until the last few years.

Around 2018 something in my brain shifted. I was able to finish, actually finish, a book. Then a screenplay, then two more books. None of them were passable reading but finishing is not nothing.

Then late one night dark and dreary, while I pondered weak and weary the name Bryce McDaniels flashed through my mind and even before I could write the name down the basic outline of the story was there, and even before I could write that down I “discovered” that Bryce was a black female Marine.

And thus it began.

Books have been a gift and a saving grace for me, I hope I am passing this gift forward.

Please enjoy,

~ V.
