Jonathan Parker came to the new world to fight demons. He was charged with protecting the settlers and eradicating the new world from evil.

Einyne’s Tale | Dartanyan Johnson

Einyne was a solitary boy. But, he had the same desires for fun, friends, and adventures that most boys did. He sought friends in the forest as well as woodland creatures to share in his adventures. Making friends wasn’t so successful, but losing track of time in his explorations, he found adventure. Or, perhaps, misadventure. Unfortunately, he was too young to know the high cost of his wayward wonderings. From Dartanyan Johnson comes Einyne’s Tale!

Reclaiming the Moon | Michael Hiebert

It should have been a simple shot of the moon on live tv. An easy PR stunt for NASA. Something to silence the conspiracy theorists that claim we were never there. But the images that the Hubble Space Telescope send back, have everyone questioning what we know about the Universe and our place in it. From award winning author Michael Hiebert, comes Reclaiming the Moon.
