  1. I Bring the Fire Part I: Wolves (A Loki Story)

    Bring fire bookAbout I Bring the Fire Part I: Wolves (A Loki Story):

    When all hope is lost, pray for Chaos. In the middle of America, on Route 44, Amy Lewis has a plan — to get to her grandma’s house in time for dinner. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

    In this tale that is equal parts “Another Fine Myth,” “American Gods,” and “Once Upon a Time,” a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, still very mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, her boobs, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

    This first volume of “I Bring the Fire” is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

    Author Bio:
    C. Gockel got her start writing fanfiction, and she is not ashamed! Much. She received emails, messages and reviews from her fans telling her she should ‘do this professionally’. She didn’t; because she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband’s nagging wore her down: “You could be the next ’50 Shades of Gray’ and I could retire!” Unfortunately, the author isn’t much for writing smut. She is sad about this; she’d love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.

    At the moment, Ms. Gockel is working on the next installment of “I Bring the Fire”.

    RT-TINYAbout Rolling Thunder:

    They were America’s bravest men – seasoned veterans and young daredevil pilots with dreams of glory in the air…Court Bannister, an Air Force captain overshadowed by his famous movie star father who fought in WWII, driven to prove his worth to his comrades – and himself…Toby Parker, the brash first lieutenant who gambled his innocence in the flames of war…and Wolf Lochert, the Special Forces major who ventured deep into the jungle to rescue a downed pilot – only to discover a face of the enemy for which he was unprepared.

    Rolling Thunder is an explosive portrait of men at war, so authentic and powerful, only a veteran pilot could have written it.

    Author Bio:
    I was born in California to two hard working parents, Bob and Ann. My mom was a housewife and my dad worked for Whirlpool. With luck on my side, I was the second of four girls. Some people hated being the middle child, but I loved it. I didn’t have the responsibilities of the oldest nor coddled like the youngest. Anyway, my father’s job moved us all over the US, and finally we ended up back to our roots—Oklahoma. We settled in Tulsa, and I went to Daniel Webster High School through my junior year. Unfortunately my parents divorced, and I went my last year of high school to Spiro High, the home of the Bulldogs. Even though my parents divorced, and even though I moved my senior year, I didn’t mind. I had returned home. All the family lived in the area, so I always had someone to hang out with. Besides, I spent many summers visiting my grandmother, so her home became my second home. My memories of visiting my granny is where the idea of The Party Line originated. Once I graduated from High School I wanted to move to a to a gigantic continent. So I ended up in Texas. Hey… it’s big. Settling in Huntsville, I went to Sam Houston State University and got my MBA. I met my husband and had two children, Cody and Victoria. Many years later I got divorced and moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I love it here but still travel when I get the chance. Cape Cod, Oklahoma, and Europe are a few places I enjoy. Sitting on the mountain top is where most of my ideas develop. There’s nothing more romantic than viewing the range of mountains with light snow falling.
