At what cost victory?

Milo Volkohne, orphan, criminal, conscript, and unwilling warlock could tell you but you might not like the answer.

It is 1936 and the Great War still rages on, with no armistice in 1918 when the Russian Empire crumbled in the fire and blood of stillborn revolution.

The hellish no man’s land has spread like a blight over Europe as grim, unyielding leaders promise a resolve of iron and no mercy, no peace, no hope.

It would take a miracle to save humanity, but as Milo would tell you: be careful what you wish for.

Plunging into a world of sorcery, treachery, and madness the world’s first wizard will bargain with monsters, human or otherwise, fight for his life, and dare to hope that he’s selling his soul for something worthwhile.

But is any price too high to end the War to end all Wars?

Get your copy and enter the darkened world where so far, no one has won World War I and now dark monsters are choosing sides.

Author Bio:
Aaron was born to parents who taught him two very important things: truth matters and imagination is not a crime.

Our protagonist has spent the rest of his life trying to live out those two maxims, much to the chagrin of every unfortunate around him (progenitors included).

As such, by age six or seven, he was writing stories about a dark, reptilian avenger who brought final, painful justice to the guilty- with unsettling illustrations to boot. His beloved and benighted parents realized that budding sociopathy would simply not do, and so they began introducing him to tales of great and good heroes. First the account of a certain carpenter, then a hairy-footed burglar, then a savior lion, and after that point our protagonist was plunging face first and arms out into a world of heroism both real and imagined. While far from a hero himself, he has endeavored to try and capture that same bowed but unbroken spirit that dwells in a dark and ugly world, because that as far as he can tell is what makes it all worth it.

Along this rambling, dreaming way he managed to find a woman he could bamboozle into loving him, and then even have children with, Lord have mercy on them all.

Now Aaron has managed to cram no few exciting jobs and hair-raising experiences into his life so far, and God help him, he hopes for many more. It is these that drive his captured glimpses of something epic. If you have the time you should pull up a chair, grab a beer, light a pipe, or whatever your pre-literary consumption ritual may be and give them a look. It is been said they are truly monstrous, but as any true hero knows, monsters often guard treasure.

More Than This, A Tenets of Truth Book  

About More Than This, A Tenets of Truth Book

There is more than this. There is better than this.

Do you feel caught in your day-to-day activities with a sense that there must be more than this, as though a situation had been forced on you that does not fit with who you really are?

This book is for those who are struggling with self-expression in a world that would deny them. It is a companion to help overcome life’s brick walls and how to move to the next level of self-awareness and creative expression in your own life.

This is a very personal book for me. I have spent decades of writing, thinking and reflection to produce this work. It takes into account all that I have learned in my own growth and development of what it means to be a human being (yes, even before the age of seven when certain people began to see me as unusual).

I give you this work as an antidote to the negative parts of your culture that stifle individual nature, self-awareness and creative expression. By freeing ourselves, we free our society.

In this book I have answers to:
Why we are here
How you are a culture of one
Awareness exercises that help you stay focused on the here and now and which stimulate creativity
How to strengthen your individuality to deal with people who would try to step over your boundaries.

Author Bio:
A.D. Hay is a passionate bibliophile and can usually be found reading a book, and that book will most likely be a thriller. Amelia’s love of reading stems back to when her mother used to bribe her as a small child, with a little golden book for good behaviour during grocery shopping.

At the age of eight, she wrote her first play. She was super secretive about the script and wrote it out by hand in an HB pencil and gave each actor lines to memorise as opposed to a whole script. So, what happened, you ask? Let’s just say she was a little bossy, okay, maybe, very bossy, and had difficulties managing the talent. Thus, an obsession began.

Fast-Forward thirty years, Amelia is the author of Missing which is the first book in the James Lalonde mystery series. Duplicity which is book two in the James Lalonde mystery series will be published in the latter half of 2020.

When not absorbed in a gripping page-turner or writing her James Lalonde series, Amelia loves to travel around Europe, drink tea, rosé, and eat pizza. She is obsessed with journalism, art history, and is a closet religious thriller fan. Amelia was born in Brisbane, Australia and spent the last nine years living in London, where she lives with her husband, Roland.
