Raven – The Triballi Incident by Stephen E J Tomporowski

The Tournament is going Alliance wide! Deathmatch and Assault are the stadium events of the future, in simulation, for every planet of the Alliance. Now Central, the planet of the Top Tier competition, is expanding the very best to every planet. All good players head to Central for the money and now the Tournament Committee is sending the 2243 Champions, Iskandar Prime, on a promotional tour of major and minor colony planets even visiting Earth itself! After adventures including bananas on the royalty-rich planet of Mirabelle described in ‘Raven: Mirabelle’, the Iskandar tour visits AC3, the planet of infinite advertisements and lawyers; Earth, now a sparsely settled planet of museums and nature preserves; Orestes, Ancient Greece reborn and then Triballi where everything explodes. The team encounters not just inept local Tournament teams, but thieves, cheats, crime bosses, politicians and mythical elves. All the while, the team members keep their heads and wits about them even if it means flinging somebody into farm equipment.
Raven joined Iskandar Prime as a walk-on in ‘Raven: The Call from Central’. From the moment the Necris walked onto the field, Iskandar Prime turned into a juggernaut, plowing through the competition winning every match for six months, the only team in Tournament history to sweep the playoffs.
Join Iskandar Prime, the most diverse team ever, with Soria, the elf captain, squidiform Skylla, angeliform Calamity Angel, tournament legend Grabby and triple digit scorer, Raven, the Necris, Zinaida, Lara, Gothgirl, Dahija and Chaoschick, as they battle enemies both on the field and off.

Author Bio:
Biography: I was born in the middle of last century (1952) and probably better known for being an Electronics Design Engineer and Electronic Music composer (Syemak) than an author. So I grew up in the ‘Golden Age’ of Sci-Fi when Isaac Asimov was still very active and the stories involved normal people involved with wonders. Sci-Fi would eventually be involved with deeper characterization but would go overboard with every character a candidate for the looney bin and magazines only buying stories that involved gay characters with serious mental issues who became warped heroes.
Rather than stay with the current fashion of dystopian visions, I tried to envision the planetary expanse of mankind as an outgrowth of our current society. Not the headlines, but the typical people you see on the street who are journeying through life without pretensions of grandeur. Although we have had many technological advancements since the 50’s, people have not really changed. They still watch sports, go to the store and drink bottled liquids. Although the clothes might be marginally different from the 50’s, the person inside is still the same with the same needs, wants and opinions. And believe me, marketing will always be there. So will the pretensions like Lara’s exclamation of ‘getting a headache’ when watching 2d movies.
Boy, that was pompous, huh?
And I was supposed to be talking about me. Here I am, still working as a design engineer, having spent 27 years in medical electronics, 10 years in precision measurement and now bearing down on 10 years in designing military equipment. I walk five miles a day, am slightly overweight and am going bald. I’ve worked for companies that Scott Adams has described in the most part, but would still have plenty of material for him for many years.
Now I’m writing something that isn’t test plans or theories of operations. Wow.
The Raven of Iskandar series is sketched out to encompass at least four books. The universe that is described within was imagined long before I ever met Raven, so there is at least one storyline outside of Iskandar that is begging to be done. I snuck a reference to that story in one of the scenes. Maybe you’ll notice it.
My editor, Yvonne Marrs, is a unique and heroic character in her own right, but it was her expertise and constant encouragement that is truly prized. When I mentioned I was writing this story for myself, she asked to see it. After I sent her what you read as chapter 1, she asked for more. After every section was the same request for more. If you get that from your editor, that’s a good thing.
In conclusion, I plan to live to 120. While I might not live longer than Jack Vance, I hope to be writing longer.
God Bless.
P.S. – Oh, you wanted to know more about the Electronic Music? Just dart on over to Soundcloud and search for Syemak. There are two pieces that relate to the book: Call from Central and Raven’s Walk.

Author Bio:
Luisa Marietta Gold was born in Pennsylvania where she spent a large part of her adult life. She moved to North Carolina after the birth of her only daughter. She published her debut novel, Escape to Osprey Cove, which is Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge series in September 2016. The Osprey Cove Series was born from Luisa’s love of the Rideau Lake region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. She spent many years enjoying the Rideau region while staying in lodges reminiscent of the lodge in her first novel. She currently resides on eleven acres in her North Carolina home near an idyllic lake with her husband and several mixed labs. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the beauty of the lake. Luisa also does acrylic painting. The cover of her debut book which features The Lady Droxell on a Canadian lake was painted by her. It was very satisfying to Luisa to know that she created the entire project. There is a tea room not far from her home where one selects a hat to wear while dining as did Libby and Rosalind in the book. And sometimes they are silly. Luisa’s bio picture was taken there.

About Sharing Rose

Rose has always wanted them, but she could never have them. Not both of them… at the same time. It wouldn’t be right… it would be naughty.

Three friends; two men and one delicate Rose.

Jacob and Alex have known Rose for ten years, and they’ve loved her since the day they all met, but three years ago she ran away. Now she’s back and they’re not letting her go… even if it means having to share.

The boys are inseparable, and that’s exactly how Rose wants them. But after seven years being seen as nothing more than a friend, Rose couldn’t take it anymore and ran away.

When a wild camping adventure in the Alps brings them back together again three years later, Rose begins to wonder if her fantasy of the pair having their way with her could come true after all.

Or could the reunion reignite old rivalries, and drive them all apart for good? If it’s worth having… is it worth sharing?

Featuring awe inspiring mountain ranges, ice blue glacial lakes, stunning rainbow filled waterfalls, passionate wild camping, dangerous river crossings, skinny dipping in secret lagoons, deadly lightning storms, dark and revealing caves and the treacherous slopes of the Alps, and of course… a very, very naughty, ridiculously hot, romantic and sweet happily ever after between two rugged men and a very lucky girl.

A Rose between two thorns… beneath a blanket of stars.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

A novella length (approximately 38,000 words) mountainous and romantic hiking adventure set in the Swiss Alps from the bestselling author of Be With Us. Sharing Rose has a long slow build-up, some mild peril, and a number of risqué and racy scenes, finally culminating in the long awaited fulfilment of everyone’s fantasy ménage.

About Paranormal Misfits Box Set 1-4 by C.J. Anaya

It’s not every day your fated mate targets you for assassination

A lonely foster teen meets a Fae warrior on assignment.

Crysta is freakishly different, never quite fitting in with her various foster families. Her shocking looks and creepy powers scare off potential friends, and her otherworldly presence tends to attract unwelcome and dangerous admirers. Now that she is finally on her own, her plan is to focus on dance, trust absolutely no one, and avoid the rest of humanity.

Her plans are shattered when a handsome man breaks into her apartment and declares he’s there to kill her.

But Crysta isn’t afraid she’ll lose her life.
She’s far more terrified she’ll lose her heart.

As a highly skilled assassin and future heir to the Seelie throne, Prince Jareth carries the weight of the Fae realm on his shoulders. When he’s given the assignment to take out one of the biggest threats the Seelie Court has ever known, he’s not expecting said threat to come in the form of a petite teenager who can barely afford to feed her cat let alone mastermind the destruction of an entire world.

He’s duty-bound to see this assignment through, until he realizes he’s been sent to kill his fated mate.

He must follow through with his assignment or risk the wrath of his father, but killing Crysta means losing the most precious gift a Fae warrior could ever hope to receive.

The love of a fated mate.

About Who is Ida Thorne? by Gem Solity

“Kids were told to be scared of the bogey-man, when they should be
afraid of the wolf in grandma’s clothes.”

Ida senses wolves from across the street, stinking like rotting garbage and fuelling her
uncontrollable anger and ‘supposed’ vigilante behaviour. So when her Grandfather relocates
them to her dead Mother’s childhood home, in a sleepy, rural village, Ida figures it can’t be
worse than London. Nothing ever happened out in the sticks.

Turns out, she was wrong.

Plunged into a dark and mysterious world, Ida questions her sanity as she discovers that neither
she, nor her Mother, are who she thought they were. But if she refuses to embrace her destiny
and harness her anger, a deadly nemesis might just wipe out humanity from the face of the
earth… and time is ticking.
