About My Inflatable Friend (Rollo Hemphill #1)

Trying to make your girlfriend jealous with a rubber doll might not be a good idea. A reformed hacker-turned-slacker, twentysomething Rollo Hemphill fantasizes about becoming a top-forty deejay but has more talent than ambition. He’s settled for a menial job as a car jockey at The Wuthering Palms, a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills. Proximity to all that glitter and glamour soon stirs his longings for Felicia Ferrulo, the Sicilian hottie who slavers the stars with mudpacks in the hotel beauty shop. When Felicia won’t give him a nod, much less a tumble, Rollo devises a desperate plan. It involves dressing up a life-sized sex doll to look like one of the hotel’s reclusive megastar residents and conspicuously driving the pseudo-babe around town in borrowed vehicles. Inspiring jealousy is his simple-minded goal, but it quickly gets waaaaaaay out of hand. Rollo’s clever scheme backfires with stunning success, causing him to fall upward with dizzying speed – as he rockets toward the stars but away from the girl of his dreams. Rollo’s fumbling attempts to undo this tangled web is, by turns, pathetic and hysterically funny – to everyone but him. My Inflatable Friend is a witty, cautionary tale about the perils of pretending to be someone you’re not – and the hazards of stroking every male’s most private and vulnerable part – his swelling ego!

Recognized for two Distinguished Favorites by 2020 Independent Press Awards in categories Mystery (Preacher Finds a Corpse) and Literary Fiction (Clifford’s Spiral).

“When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher approached me and asked with a sly grin, ‘You interested in mining?’

I told him absolutely not. I was going to be a writer.

Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City.

Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, “Well, you’re interested in mining your own business, aren’t you?”

And he sent me anyway.

Now I realize I should’ve listened more carefully to everything he said.”

About Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange

*Free September 10 through September 14*

Two Flytrap fans had a plan. But unfortunately for them, they kidnapped the wrong guy. Or did they?

In the near future, the invention of the Io Mega-Zip Drive has allowed humanity to spread throughout the Solar System. This new age of discovery brought with it a bold new sport: craterball. Played in low gravity on massive domed craters, craterball has taken the System by storm and made all other Terran sports all but obsolete.

Slab Steele was once the hottest craterback prospect coming out of Texas Space University, but a series of self-engineered screw ups have left him without the hope of joining the greatest craterback to ever play the game, Mirt “The Whip” Ballfeather, in the Craterball Hall of Fame.

Once reduced to playing backup for the worst team in the league, the Venus Flytrap, Slab has finally got his life back on track. Slab Steele—through no significant achievement of his own—is on the verge of winning the Crater Bowl. On the eve of the biggest match of his life, the deciding Match Seven of the Solar Craterball Finals, Slab Steele is knocked out and taken captive by two die-hard fans of the rival team. There’s only one problem: Slab isn’t even the starter.

Suddenly, Slab Steele is thrust into an adventure that forces him to confront a ghost from his past, meet a hero from his present, and ultimately come to terms with a future unlike any he has ever known, all while trying to make it to Venus in time for the Crater Bowl.

Featuring copious amounts of dad jokes, shameless puns, a sentient slice of cheese, and a bipedal urinal, Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange is a perfect read for fans of Guardians of the Galaxy, the Galactic Football League, Space Team and the greatest sports films of the 80s and 90s.

This book is not serious. Well, not exactly serious. Read and find out.

About MANUS DEI: Harbinger

2nd Edition. September 2020.

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. 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.

(A novel of around 40,000 words).

About The Opium Wars: A Captivating Guide to the First and Second Opium War and Their Impact on the History of the United Kingdom and China by Captivating History

Victorian Great Britain was the most technologically and economically developed country in the world at the time. As such, it had the power to protect its interests. With the discovery of new trade routes in the East, and with the foundation of the East India Company, Britain became addicted to the luxurious and exotic items from China. Silk, porcelain, and tea were in high demand among the rich. Britain was so economically strong at the time that even the middle and lower classes could afford to enjoy high-quality items imported from China, especially tea.
Britain imported everything its society desired, but it was costly. The main problem was that China only accepted payments in silver, creating a huge imbalance in trade. To avoid losing money on imported goods, Britain had to sell something back to China. However, this Eastern empire liked to boast that it was self-sufficient. The Chinese didn’t need to import anything, as their industry was developed enough to supply the whole country with what it needed. Britain had to come up with something the Chinese needed, and in desperation, the decision was made for Britain to sell opium.
When diplomatic efforts to introduce opium to the Chinese market failed, the British Parliament approved an alternative: war. There were two wars, one from 1839 to 1842 and another from 1856 to 1860. They are collectively known as the Opium Wars. The British, who were joined by French and supported by the Americans and Russians, clashed with Imperial China, which was ruled by the Qing dynasty. These conflicts are largely forgotten in the Western world, perhaps out of a sense of collective shame. But in China, the Opium Wars are still symbols of national humiliation at the hands of the Western powers.

My life is a simple one. I live with my two dogs, Ace and Rielly, in Canada and I got to say that it's pretty awesome. Those two buggers make it difficult to stay down for too long and I love them for that. When I'm not writing I'm usually watching hockey (Go Leafs!), spending time behind my camera, enjoying a good video game or just relaxing with my good pal called Netflix.

I'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings; I even own a foam version of Andruil, Aragorn's sword. The book series and the films both drew me into fantasy and led me to wishing to create my own worlds. Authors that inspired me are Jonathan Stroud, Tom Lloyd, Christopher Paolini, Mark Lawrence, George RR Martin, and of course good old JRR Tolkein.

These brilliant fantasy writers each displayed styles that I would slowly come to try to reflect in my own writing and world building, with ideas leading to short stories, which eventually led to my very first novel. However, I should say that I wouldn't be where I am today without my best friend, Mackenzie, and my therapist, Natasha. Those two wonderful women helped give me the confidence to go for this career path and I will forever be thankful for their support.

I write my books in the hopes that they provide the solace and escape for someone that fantasy novels give me. The idea that someone could possibly read my books and be inspired to write their own is exhilarating too. Most of all, I write because I know what a good story can do. It can make people feel not so alone, it can inspire and encourage creativity. It can give that tiny bit of peace that's needed to get through the day. If I can provide that for even just one person during my career, then I know this will all be worth it.

Here's hoping you enjoy my books! Happy reading!
