About A Sea of Cinders

In Cellagor—a land segregated between humans and Elves—fear, manipulation and war are inevitable. Nearly one hundred years have passed since the War of the Fallen, a cataclysmic battle between human and Elf which left both races teetering on the brink of extinction. Now, the Age of Tranquility is finally nearing its end, and the northern King of Havelmir is hungry for power and revenge.

The Elven peace of mind remains unchanged—that is, until the Kingdom of Rhan is threatened by unknown forces. Soon it becomes clear that the tranquil Elven existence is once again at risk of crumbling. However, even with the element of surprise, the road to victory is not as smooth as it may seem. Ulterior motives are afoot, ancient magic is resurfacing, and an unlikely friendship between two young men may just pose the biggest threat of them all.

Author Bio:
First time author of a fantasy epic.
Did I always know I wanted to write a book…no. But I couldn’t stop once I started. I’ve always been a fan of the fantasy genre; be it movies, books or videogames. I love them all. But inventing my own world always seemed like more of a dream than reality. Thankfully, I decided to give it a go! After years of being entertained by countless imaginations, I figured it was time to repay the favor. A few years later, my first book was finished. And to be honest, it was the most fun I’ve ever had. Book two is now in the works! I just hope my addition to the grand world of fantasy is both inspiring and enjoyable.

About The Lady in The Red Shawl

Dishonorably discharged from the military, ex-Army Ranger, William Hartmann, has been home now for years, tormented by the daily life of a man who was asked to kill at the expense of his own humanity, to protect everyone else’s. After multiple tours to Iraq and Afghanistan with special operation teams, Will realizes he was one of the few who single handedly kept the wolves from American doors…Only when the nightmares threatened to drive him to swallow a bullet, he lost it all…
the military, the hero status, his wife, now his integrity.
Seeking thrill and retribution, he vows to travel the country finding the undeserving of his sacrifice and taking back the peace he gave up for them. Focusing on women who want him as a showpiece for their arm, Will makes fake aliases to meet and kill the petty and self-centered, those who never earned or appreciated all the things they expected the world to give to them for free, even at the expense of everyone around them.
Highly trained in predatory hunting, Will’s mission to seek pleasure, thrill, and retribution continues without pause until he is drawn to a medic’s group invitation on a bulletin board in a small Pennsylvania town. Desperate to have one night surrounded by other veterans, he attends and finds himself unprepared for the contrast in beliefs he finds living and breathing in the mind of the short female army veteran standing at the coffee station. With her golden hair, scar kissed throat, and broken blue eyes she has earned the same hatred and vengeance harbored in the veins of Will, but instead views it all as a willingly made sacrifice for the good of the many. Instead of throwing anger at their ignorance, she smiles at those who still looked blind on the realities of the world.
After meeting Vivian, Will’s views on life, love and horror will be challenged beyond any measure he dreamt possible in his post-war existence. Would she lift him up into her goodness? Or will he drag her down into his hell?

About OOF: An Online Outrage Fiesta for the Ages

Award-winning novelist and cultural critic Strobe Witherspoon interrogates his own profession. It goes terribly.

“Wildly entertaining …Sometimes sad and sometimes hilarious, Witherspoon’s timely metafictional novel explores the ways (mis)information can shape public discourse in the digital media age.” – Booklife by Publishers Weekly

”Strikingly original …an innovative literary experiment that supplies a thoughtful commentary on the ‘discourse virus’ of our age …Witherspoon tackles a broad spectrum of media, including comically scathing excerpts from tweets, podcasts, blogs, and even academic journals and also keenly exposes the ways in which Strobe, the character, is implicated in his own online assault, due to his obsessive attachment to public life.” – Kirkus Reviews

OOF explores the role of satire in a society lurching from one ridiculous crisis to the next, where media outlets rely on clicks to stay alive and everything is filtered through a lens of anger and misinformation.

————
Strobe Witherspoon just sold his latest satirical novel for a lot of money. The book in question, FLOTUS: A Memoir, is a fictitious autobiography about a former first lady of the United States reflecting on years of misery at the hands of her much older POTUS husband. When a chapter is leaked in advance of the book’s publication, an Online Outrage Fiesta (OOF) ensues via mainstream news outlets, blogs, Twitter, troll farms, and everything in between. Witherspoon has his life placed under a microscope. Family secrets are exposed. Now, an anthology has been put together to document Witherspoon’s downfall—and settle the score.
