Two Heads, Two Spikes  

a1About Two Heads, Two Spikes:

Treachery and Deceit Run Rampant in The Kingdom of Donegal.

A high stakes game of life and death erupts in a land of murder and manipulation. A triggering event in northern Donegal sets off a series of events with consequences to be faced around the world. Some seek a throne but most hunt the elusive Pearl of Wisdom for its magical powers and ability to summon dragons.

The story is told by multiple points of view that sweep you around a realm and beyond. The King’s son, a Queen, a Princess, members of rival families, several knights and a rogue warrior tell the tales of a lost kingdom, omitted from history. Good versus evil can appear transparent or blurred as motivations of revenge and soul inspired redemption entangle in a forgotten world of deception and drama.

Author Bio:
Jason Paul Rice enjoyed reading books like The Hobbit from a young age. That turned into story telling which later spurred a love of writing . One day while hiking in the woods he found an extremely old chest that contained books, records and maps that told an unbelievable story of a long-forgotten land. Jason studied these materials and created a fantasy world centered around the Kingdom of Donegal to escape everyday life. Now he humbly invites you to see that vision in his epic fantasy series called the Pearl of Wisdom Saga. Jason wants to take you on a mental vacation to a land of honor and intrigue. He will whisk you off to a place of murder and manipulation that somehow escaped the history books. On the lighter side, he enjoys fantasy and historical fiction which may explain a great deal. Jason has also worked extensively as a chef in the restaurant business. He currently resides in Pittsburgh where he was born and raised with a blue-collar ethic.

“Falling Water: Stories & Poetry” takes a incisive, penetrating look at life!
This collection offers an insightful look at the realities we all face- the highs and the lows, hope, happiness, joy and the inevitable grief and suffering that must accompany the good. Most of the stories and poems in this were compiled from handwritten notes in journals I’ve been keeping for several years. These are tales of love, and loss, hope, strength, acceptance and the courage to carry on in the face of adversity. There is sadness in these vignettes, but also hope in the redeeming goodness of life.

“I’m actually reading this as slowly as I can because I don’t want it to end! I feel as though each tale should be savored and thought about.”
By1D82 Many

“The vivid descriptions are captivating, and I found myself immersed in the rich imagery.”
Estela Vazquez Perez- author of “Light & Shadows”

“The tales will swirl around the edges of your consciousness, striking in their familiarity yet fresh and evocative. From the first well-crafted word to the end of every thought provoking tale, I remained bemused and seduced. I think you will too.”
J Kelly Accinni Author of the “Alien Intervention” series.

Author Bio:
A lifelong resident of Virginia, I grew up in the rural southeastern part of the state with a large extended family. I majored in Religious Studies and minored in Creative Writing-fiction at Virginia Commonwealth University. I now live in a rural area near Richmond where five year old beagle, Leah, has room to run, as beagles like to do. I spend my free time with my favorite activity, gardening, participate in Midlothian Wordsmith’s Workshop, and read and write as often as possible. At university, I was fortunate to have many incredible writing teachers, the most recent being authors Clint McGown, and Sheri Reynolds, bestselling author of “Rapture of Canaan”, among other books. I learned from Clint McGown that prose can be as beautiful as poetry and I gained a love of southern fiction from Sheri Reynolds.
In 2012 I began writing stories about a boy growing up in the south in the 1960’s. Those stories became the collection “The Adventures of Roland McCray”. All three volumes are also in print and audiobook. Some of my books are available in or can be requested at many Public libraries and paperback versions can be ordered from several major offline book retailers.
My latest release, “Falling Water: Stories & Poetry”, was compiled from stories and poems from journals I’ve kept for many years and is a radical change from the “Roland McCray” series. It is a well-received collection of unusual short stories & poetry that is also available in print and an expertly narrated audiobook (narrated by Charles Kahlenberg). Among other projects, I’m currently working on a science fiction novel that I hope to complete in early 2016.

Look out New York City! Ms. Rayanne “Annie” McCauley from little old Mesa View, Texas has set her sights on being a high fashion model. Despite her humble beginnings in the Mesa View Mobile Home Park, hot tempered Annie thinks she can make it all the way to the cover of Women’s Wear Daily (as long as she follows her own rules). But she won’t be able to do it without a lot of trouble from her arch rival, Brittany Carstairs, another alumnus of the trailer park and a woman who never met a nasty trick she didn’t use. Brittany is brilliant and ruthless. She tries to get Annie fired from every job she starts and also tries to steal every man.

Annie thinks she may finally be getting her big break in the modeling world. She has aced her first interview with handsome, Tomi Di Ponti and is ready for her second interview where she expects to be given the job as spokesmodel for the new Czarina line of Di Ponti cosmetics and fashions.

But things rarely go smoothly for Annie and before she knows it, Brittany has pulled one of her dirty tricks and it looks like Annie may not get the job after all. However, with the help of Luis and the understanding of Tomi things seem to be working out. Brittany isn’t easily beaten and through an elaborate plan, it appears she’s working against Annie behind the scenes. Comical mishaps, the Rigatoni, a vertically challenged gang of old world mobsters, and Nonni, the grandmother from hell all make Annie’s dream seem just out of reach.

Enter Ida and her son, Luther Grolsch, a man that Annie feels might be the sexiest, but most annoying man she’s ever met. Together they try to keep Annie alive and find out who is really behind the sabotage that seems to be aimed at the Di Ponti Company and Annie in particular. Will Annie and Tomi ever get together? Who Hired the Rigatoni Gang? Find out in Annie’s 1st Break, a hilarious, laugh out loud, romantic mystery. Book one of a four book series with book 5 on the way.
