Carter J. Thompson presents Book 2 in the Spark of War series.

El has trained all her life to do two things—to fly the skies on wings of roaring flames, and to burn her enemies to the ground. Now, having graduated the academy, she's ready to do both those things. . . . until she's dispatched in the opposite direction of the war effort. To a city named after vegetables of all things. Seriously, who names a place after those? But, despite it being a routine mission, El and her unit find a new enemy waiting for them. One who isn't afraid of a little fire.

Drawing on the writings and wisdom of Henri J. M. Nouwen's themes of caregiving, Marjorie J. Thompson offers a vulnerable exploration of caregiving intertwined with both her own many years of intimate caregiving of family members and collected stories of caregivers in varied settings and stages of life. While not shying away from the demanding physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of caregiving, Courage for Caregivers also celebrates the gifts of caregiving grounded in the belovedness both caregiver and care receiver share in God's eyes.

What really matters to Black Austinites?

Read by the author. Walking through Psalm 23 phrase by phrase, therapist and author K.J. Ramsey explores the landscape of our fear, trauma, and faith. When she stepped through her own wilderness of spiritual abuse and religious trauma, K.J. discovered that courage is not the absence of anxiety...

X is trapped living in the slums of the last remaining city on Earth. He can only venture out beyond the towering walls to scavenge relics of the old world when the sun is up. At night, like everybody else, he hides inside from the monsters of the shadows...until an unexpected death occurs a little too close to home. With the blame on his shoulders, and trigger-happy guards on his trail, X has no choice but to run. But the city was never a safe place to begin with, not really, and his only slim chance of survival lies outside the walls, in a landscape empty of humanity.

Jess and Will thought they saw a ghost in the attic. But did they really see one? The only way to find out was to investigate. They had watched the people on the ghost shows enough to do it. Borrowing an old cassette recorder and a video camera from their parents, the best friends started an adventure that would lead them into a world they hadn't known existed. Something was wrong in the spirit realm and that wrong was causing big trouble in their small town. Enlisting the help of their parents and friends, they work to solve the mystery of the blue orb.

Twelve strangers from different realities are kidnapped and left stranded on an Earth where magic has supplanted technology and ancient empires have prospered for many centuries in this work of dark fantasy. Among some are a deadly assassin from the Canadian Armed Forces, a brilliant Irish trauma surgeon, a "nuclear winter" survivor, and a medical marvel whose augmented strength does little to compensate for his irreversible brain damage.

After Vexx White and his fellow dungeoneers survive their latest brush with death, a chance encounter with a woman at the market leads them on their next wild adventure. The mission she describes is dangerous, and all she has to offer is a mysterious amulet in exchange for the rescue of her missing husband. But something about the amulet intrigues Vexx, and against his better judgment, he accepts her quest and vows to reunite the lovers at any cost.

Despite their dubious successes in the past, Vexx and his two companions find themselves back where they had started: penniless and scrounging the streets of Cloudbury for menial work. When they chance upon what seems to be a simple delivery quest to Golden Streams Landing, Vexx accepts it with no hesitation. But what Vexx doesn’t realize is that the roads leading to the city are treacherous, and that there are powerful enemies basic fire magic and rudimentary necromancy can’t defeat.

This is the story of Connor Murray, a young hooligan from England who finds out that he is a direct descendant of the Legendary King Arthur. He is taken to a school where other lineal descendants of the Court of Camelot gather to be taught by the progeny of Merlin. Lineage brings the names of the Knights of the Round Table from the dust of the old tales and gives them new life. Most importantly, it brings back the ideals of Arthur’s Camelot: that might is not right and mercy is not weakness.

Vexx White is a down on his luck apprentice mage, recently expelled from Fallanden Magical Academy for experimenting with necromancy. With nothing to lose, he becomes a dungeoneer for hire — taking odd jobs in his home town of Cloudbury for pocket change. Nine out of 10 dungeoneers die in their first 10 quests, and to survive Vexx finds himself teaming up with a clumsy elf and a crazed succubus. When they’re not busy trying to kill each other, the dungeoneers drum up all the work they can get, from raiding dungeons to hunting down thieves.
