Book One of the Chronicles of a Higher Calling


A thousand years ago, the art of magic suddenly vanished from the world. No one could explain exactly what had caused this unexpected event. Kingdoms and empires fell apart as their economies and societies collapsed, and only the strongest, richest empires survived this hopeless time, the Age of Chaos, which lasted two hundred years.

Without magic and the power of wizardry, whole generations grew old and died. In the Free Realms, people no longer believed sorcerers had ever existed. One day, however, a glimpse of the past returns.

Kara Primusignis, a princess, lives her everyday life in the Kingdom of Kallahia, traveling from town to town in search of a missing part of her past. Strange news arrives from a neighboring kingdom: a merchant has made an unusual discovery in the Gaenessi Mountains, a range to the far southwest. Kara, with a group of soldiers, immediately sets out to the location to investigate.

Days before the arrival of the strange news, Kara witnessed the sun change colors for a few hours, but then it returned to normal. At that time, she didn’t suspect that this phenomenon would soon change her life forever…

The Swing

 


The Swing:

A Muse's Memoir about Keeping the Artist Alive


"An emotional story of a life of illness and creativity." - Kirkus Reviews

After one heck of a first date with an ill artist, Susan was all in for a wild race against the clock.

She knew what she was getting into...sort of. Charlie was frailer than she realized and only twenty-seven. But it was clear from day one that he was in search of his own brand of perfection. She'd watch his work magically evolve while his body slipped away. She'd summon unfettered wiliness, hope, and forgiveness, while still managing to find raw, wicked humor in almost every dark corner. Decades later, over a million images were shot in the field, thousands were carefully cataloged, and hundreds were printed by the artist before he died. Art won. Love won. Illness lost.

The Swing by Susan Dennis opens in the dangerous days of Detroit's 1980s gang wars, and spans the twenty-four-year marriage of a muse and a photographer - a man with an inexplicable illness, and an equally inexplicable lifelong passion for mastering the union of nature with a lens.

The Secret of Safe Passage: Taking Wonderland Book 1

 


The Secret of Safe Passage:

Taking Wonderland Book 1


Ali is a troubled teenager with a quick wit, a love of science and zero tolerance for bullshit. When she stumbles into Wonderland she refuses to accept it's real - until it starts killing her. Now Ali must decode riddles buried in the original storybooks if she is to survive Wonderland and defeat the dark forces intent on breaching out.

Reviews

Considering the love and reverence Martin Baynton has for the original stories, I was not surprised on reading his first novel in the Taking Wonderland series, that it delivered such a sense of joy and wonder. Drawing on the inspiration of Lewis Carroll, Martin has written a masterful narrative that introduces us to a completely new Alice. Smart, complex, and somewhat fragile, she journeys down her own, very personal, ‘rabbit hole’ and what unfolds is utterly mesmerizing as she untangles connections across time and space to confront her demons. Martin has given us a unique Alice, a girl out of place in her own world, yet extraordinarily connected to another. This is a beautiful novel, a spell binding and intimate glimpse through the looking glass.

I didn’t know what to expect from an adult book inspired by 
Alice in Wonderland. I must say that the author outdid himself with an original storyline. The book begins in a whirlwind manner. Even though I was trying to make sense of what was going on, I was hooked by the time I had finished reading the prologue. The author’s use of language is impressive, I felt all the emotions each character, especially Alice, was feeling intensely. Almost every moment made my heart race, and I could not flip the pages fast enough. I enjoyed the author’s references to science and wordplay. It was the perfect unity of science and art. What is more impressive is that I never felt burdened or impatient with all the action. Martin Baynton effectively sucked me in without even really taking me to Wonderland. This is Book 1 of a series, and with the splendid way it ended, I would love to see more of Wonderland and feisty Alice. If you have any likeness for Alice in Wonderland, you should make room in your heart and library for The Secret of Safe Passage.

Highly recommended. Context is everything and so, in the prologue to the first of this trilogy of young adult novels, Martin Baynton provides the necessary context. Turns out the Alice books were not written by Lewis Carroll at all, but by Alice herself: stories in which are embedded clues that will enable the rescue and repatriation of its characters. Shift to the present day, and we meet 15-year old Ali, great-grandniece to Alice and a troubled young woman who copes with the death of her mother by the regular use of expletives and bouts of violence. The most recent of these episodes sees her suspended from school and sent to relatives living in a manor house on the edge of an English village. It’s there that Ali gets her first intimation that she is being called upon to rescue not only Alice but all those trapped in Wonderland. Ali is a redoubtable character, steeped in science, always spoiling for a fight, but brave and resourceful, too. Even though not all modern-day readers will appreciate the context provided by the Alice books, they’ll love the sparky, sparring dialogue, the rollercoaster action, and the sheer inventiveness of this one, cheering Ali on as the first instalment of the trilogy finishes with her own escape into Wonderland. The cover illustration by the author references the work of John Tenniel, with a delightfully stroppy Ali glaring out at the world and at the reader.

Victor-27

 


Victor-27

(Fate's Inmate Book 1) 


My parents had really skudged up.


The hatred for who they were and what they’d done far outlived them, growing and festering with the passage of time. Who hated them the most? Not the Wardens. Not the Chancellors on The Judgement Board. Not even the people in Khizmit who’d been subjected to their crimes.
The person who hated them most was the sum of all their parts, including, I’d been told, their proclivity for violent crime.
Me. Victor-27.
Khizmit had captured and killed the criminals, my mother included, and we—the lurpers, the offspring of the criminals—were trapped in this cold hell, not for the crimes of our parents, but for the crimes we were sure to commit.
What a load of slag! None of it mattered anyway. All that mattered to me was graduation. But if there was one thing I'd learned in prison, it was this:
Everyone you trust to watch your back will eventually stab it.
