The Cruelty of Magic

 Book Cover



A warlord seeks the destruction of Runefall, and the end of magic, as a prophecy is met with doubt.

Kyra, a young woman capable of wielding rune magic, is called from her hidden city to a temple no one knows about. As Kyra wrestles with a prophecy, and wanting to save her city, a dwarven king leads his people to carve a new home for themselves but instead finds himself approaching divinity. 

On the other side of the world, a dark sewer hosts a father and son who escaped a tyrannical attack. They now hide and attempt to summon a golem for protection but learn something about magic that might change the world.

Intricate stories and deep lies connect peoples from all across the land. The actions of one may very well condemn the lives of another, even if they never meet.

Such is the cruel way of the world and the unforgiving cost of magic.

Call Numbers (3 book series)

 






Life is a book... and every person is a chapter. Everything's looking up for Robin Walker. It's 1994 in New York City, and he's been transferred downtown to the 58th Street Branch Library. Ready to move up the ladder, Robin is excited about the opportunities that await him. But success, personal or professional, is as elusive as a first-edition rare book. Robin struggles with his strange new work environment as this motley crew of employees generates more drama than a runaway bestseller. He doesn't know who to believe - or who to let in. And as potential romance mingles with devious machinations, there's no telling where Robin's story will go. All he knows is that he must see it through to the very last page. Call Numbers is a captivating and multilayered adult drama. Through realistic dialogue and situations, author Syntell Smith has crafted a modern-day classic about the trials and tribulations of adulthood. Because a library is usually the last place you'd expect high drama, but for these characters...it's long overdue.





“Life is all about turning the page.”

Robin Walker is not used to the quiet life. As a library clerk at the 58th Street Library in Manhattan, the disruptions come from office politics. But when Robin’s grandfather, Jon Walker, is found collapsed on Robin’s living room floor, Robin must brace himself for the worst. As he reaches out to family members, he holds onto slim hope that his grandfather will somehow come through.

Robin tries to find solace in his co-workers. But when his supervisor Sonyai Yi is locked in a private battle with head librarian Augustus Chavez, loyalties are tested. He’ll soon realize its not easy knowing who to trust, especially when his job could be on the line. As the days grow long and his grandfather’s time dwindles, Robin is suddenly energized when he dates Shinju, a beautiful Asian woman he saw months ago. When Shinju becomes a part of his life, Robin tries to find joy wherever he can. But it won’t be so simple, secrets are revealed, causing a great disruption that leaves the branch shattered. When this motley crew of characters finally comes together, a sudden departure leaves the library in a different place.

Book Endings: Loss, Pain, and Revelations is an absorbing slice-of-life look at characters on interlacing paths – trying to discover themselves. In this thoughtful sequel, life is what you make of it. Like books borrowed from the library of the universe, we’re only here until we must be returned to the earth… because our time is borrowed.





In the book of life, the page must always be turned.

Robin Walker is at a crossroads. It’s 1994, and he’s been suspended from his part-time clerical position at the 58th Street Branch Library. His co-workers are overburdened, even with visiting clerks from other libraries.

Still mourning the loss of his grandfather, Robin also pines for Shinju, his former girlfriend and the niece of his supervisor Sonyai Yi. Meanwhile, library page Tonya Brown attempts to reconcile with her cheating boyfriend Andrew Friedman. Information assistant Angie Trueblood is given the cold shoulder by Heywood Learner, still despondent over a breakup. And former 58th Street page Janelle Simms is due to give birth and go on maternity leave, all while feuding with her parents.

But all is not lost. Over time, these co-workers have become much more than that. Joy, anger, love and pain are etched among them like ink on paper. Now they must decide whether to renew their life choices or reserve a new path. And with their due dates fast approaching, one thing becomes clear – everybody wants a happy ending.

Hold Circulation is the latest entry in the Call Numbers series. Author Syntell Smith crafts a layered and thought-provoking novel that examines the drama-filled lives of the people that are best known for keeping quiet. Underneath the surface, these fascinating characters try to break free of life’s burdens… by leaping off the page.

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny (Sci-Fi Galaxy Book 1)

 Book Cover




LOVE AND BETRAYAL IN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER RIDE TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Seven infants, conceived artificially aboard a rotating space habitat as an experiment to populate the solar system. 
A fugitive mother, anointed as an alien Priestess, determined to reunite with her children. 
A greedy mining boss set on conquering the planets and the loner who stands in his way

If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled narrative of romance and redemption.”

Competition for control of the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business triggers a fight for the resources of the Moon and a hunt for an ancient crystal that could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.

The battle embroils seven infants incubated in a lab as part of an experiment to breed inhabitants off-Earth for future space colonies and sparks a race against time to free their desperate mother held captive by the power-hungry head of a global mining consortium and his shady doctor.

Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unscrupulous scientist, and a power-mad general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they've long desired.

In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, "Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny" is a thought-provoking journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of "Interstellar" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.

Pretty Bird Billy

 Book Cover


Pretty Bird Billy


Are you in search of a remarkable gift tailored for a child who either possesses a beloved pet, is on the cusp of acquiring one, or harbors a desire for pet ownership? Look no further than this book. Delving into the realms of anticipation and excitement surrounding the prospect of welcoming a new pet, it serves to ignite a sense of eager anticipation within its young readers.

The sheer delight of awakening to the presence of one's own pet is unparalleled—an experience that fulfills every expectation. "Pretty Bird Billy" stands as a delightful surprise for a young girl, captivating her with its unexpected arrival.

In the journey of pet ownership, invaluable life lessons such as responsibility, trust, respect, and patience are imparted to children. While pets undoubtedly bestow numerous benefits upon their young companions, it's important to recognize the reciprocal nature of this relationship. Children, in turn, contribute significantly to the well-being of their furry or feathered friends.

Central to the rationale behind pet ownership lies the invaluable lesson of responsibility. Nurturing a pet entails the provision of essentials such as food, water, and affection, tasks well-suited for children aged five and above, fostering their development through age-appropriate responsibilities.

Moreover, the bond forged between a child and their pet cultivates a profound sense of trust. Pets serve as unwavering sources of comfort and support, offering solace during moments of distress or turmoil.

Compassion, too, blossoms through the act of caring for a pet. By attending to the needs of their animal companions, children learn the virtue of kindness and empathy towards others, laying the foundation for meaningful relationships.

In the realm of avian companionship, birds emerge as exemplary first pets. Their adaptability to household environments, coupled with their longevity and space-efficient nature, renders them an ideal choice for families. Furthermore, birds possess inherent therapeutic qualities, offering emotional support to individuals with disabilities and enriching the lives of their caregivers.

Conures, in particular, stand out as exemplary therapy pets, renowned for their affectionate demeanor and sociable nature. Whether perched upon a shoulder or engaged in interactive activities, these feathered companions provide steadfast companionship and companionship throughout the day.

Imagine the myriad emotions accompanying the acquisition of one's long-awaited pet—a sentiment further heightened by the prospect of a talking bird. Not only does such an avian companion bolster a child's confidence, but it also facilitates speech development, transforming the pet-owner dynamic into a profound educational journey. Indeed, the depth of knowledge and insight gleaned from pet ownership represents a transformative learning experience for children—one that encompasses far more than mere companionship.
