In a futuristic world where all people believe and serve the same creator, a few youngsters discover an inconvenient truth and have an encounter with 'Lucifer'.‘Lucifer, you will never win, because you are just created by me.’ ‘No, we are always equal, because both of us are just imaginary forces inside human minds. You represent comfort, shelter, faith, authority and power; I represent independence, arrogance, rebelliousness and freedom. You know that clearly.’‘Your rebellion will not succeed. Humans are always mentally weak. They need me; they fear me. They all believe that following you will only lead to darkness and despair.’ ‘True, they need your shelter and they fear your power; but you have neglected one thing. You have neglected human’s desire for freedom. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot defeat it. No matter how beautiful your shelter is, you cannot lure them away from it.’‘Freedom? Freewill? True, human treasure this thing a lot. But if I provide them ultimate joy and comfort, if I fear them with unlimited power, they will abandon it and follow me.’ ‘We will see. This battle has just begun and it will last. Every human mind will be our battlefield!’

After Brexit Westminster was further rocked by news Scotland had voted to leave the UK.When a leaked email showed Scotland planned to overrun UK military bases and its oil platforms all hell breaks loose.Italian mobsters, a Swedish hitman and an ex-trapeze-artist-turned-assassin have all been hired to kill one man: Scotland’s new King, Gavin Brewson, (supposedly a descendent of Robert the Bruce). Following Brexit and then the election of Donald Trump, Scotland breaks away from the UK and crowns an English council parking official ‘King of Scotland’. All hell breaks loose. Scotland’s First Minister wanted a stupid king, one she could boss around and control. Instead she gets a headstrong, idealistic monarch. When Gavin is secretly handed an ancient scroll that empowers him to overrule the politicians, he devises a plan to nationalise just about everything. With their careers potentially finished, should the new King be allowed to enact his new laws, Scotland’s First Minister and the UK Prime Minister hire assassins… with orders to kill the King. But instead of focusing on their target, the assassins get caught up in a jealous spat over which of them is the Number 1 hitman and who will get to assassinate the monarch. With the King about to take the short trip from Holyrood Palace to the Scottish Parliament Building, where the world’s media awaits his pronouncement, D.I Frank Guardo and a squad of armed police descend on Holyrood… only to find a body covered with a sheet in the courtyard. Are they too late…?

Its truth forgotten in the mists of time, the old bridge harbors a lethal secret. Neither marble statues awakened for battle nor an ancient roadbed grown hungry, something darker and more primal haunts the stones and the wild river below. Kimmer knows the stories, but she doesn't know why the crumbling span feels so fraught with menace. Her way home lies across the ruin. Dare she take it?Its truth forgotten in the mists of time, the old bridge harbors a lethal secret. Neither marble statues awakened for battle nor an ancient roadbed grown hungry, something darker and more primal haunts the stones and the wild river below. Kimmer knows the stories, but she doesn't know why the crumbling span feels so fraught with menace. Her way home lies across the ruin. Dare she take it? Or will horror from the lost past rise up to claim her, when she does? PRAISE FOR J.M. NEY-GRIMM "...the world depicted is magical, but the people are very real." - Mary Anna Dunn, Smashwords review of Troll-magic "...left me craving more." - Paty Saternye, Amazon review of Sarvet's Wanderyar "She has an ethereal sort of quality to her writing which is extremely effective-all the more so because I can't pin down exactly why. It's almost mystical. This ephemeral tone is what sets her work apart from anything else I've read-it's absolutely unique, and absolutely engaging." - James J. Parsons, Speaking to the Eyes review of Perilous Chance "Her work compares favorably with Robin McKinley and Patricia McKillip ...I'm really pleased to have discovered her!" - Mira, Amazon review of Troll-magic PRAISE FOR CROSSING THE NAIAD "A quick, refreshing piece of literature. Like a cool sip of water after a grueling endurance marathon . . . It's swift and concise, but the prose is eloquent and deft, to the point, yet gracefully articulate . . . again I am enthralled with the completeness of the picture the author is painting. The world comes to life . . ." - Goodreads review EXCERPT FROM CROSSING THE NAIAD She stood looking across the bridge, feeling the cool breeze and . . . something wrong. The bridge was old - the leached stones worn by weather and time, a structure of ancient Silmaren. But that wasn't it. Something - sinister? - rose from its broken paving. A miasma of despair and defeat that had nothing to do with its gap-toothed balustrade, the holes in its surface giving wide views of the forested ravine and fast river below, or the crumbling statue of a toga-draped maiden from the past ages of the world. Kimmer hesitated. The new bridge, upstream and crossing low to the water rather than high from one steep brink to the other, was flooded and unsafe. Oga and Chedli and Deas - the goats - had balked. Likely they knew, and . . . only a fool would risk a span immersed in a swift current. But she had to get home somehow. ABOUT THE AUTHOR J.M. Ney-Grimm lives with her husband and children in Virginia, just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. She's learning about permaculture gardening and debunking popular myths about food. The rest of the time she reads Robin McKinley, Diana Wynne Jones, and Lois McMaster Bujold, plays boardgames like Settlers of Catan, rears her twins, and writes stories set in her troll-infested North-lands.

This is a poetic compilation which includes some prose and is somewhat autobiographical in nature. It spans from childhood to present day so has some mature themes, making it suitable from young teens up. It is a journey which I invite you to embark on. There is a definite spiritual context running through it. It is best read in HTML and PDF format for the foreseeable future. ThanksWell time has come again to let you know that Nick Klaus is still struggling to find his way out of the Grand Library of Books United. This new adventure takes him straight to the heart of the Incurable jumblelium. Now, I know what you are going to say, what on earth could an incurable jumblelium be? The answer is easy. An incurable jumblelium is basically a jumblelium that cannot be cured. Here to whet your appetite, and don't go thinking that you can eat a jumblelium, especially if it is incurable, he is willing to give you a couple of sample chapters. A little wink of sort, he sends your way. Have fun. Perhaps you can find the way out for him, and if you do, please write to me at once, because more than anyone in the universe, I cannot wait to meet him. Nick Klaus also asks me to warn you that he will not be held responsible if you feel confused during the reading of this new adventure. In order to prevent such a tragic fate, which would certainly happen if you got trapped in the jumblelium, he recommends that you read some of his previous attempts to escape, at least read “Nick Klaus and the Room of the Lost Footsteps.” This is only way, he tells me, to prevent such a dreadful and unwelcome state from seizing you (or so he gracefully confided in me) . . .

Betrayal, the dreams inspired by popular culture and a slippery slope of debt propel a fashionable working family towards a ruthless criminal's grip. Can the estranged Randalls recover their unity and avert disaster? What Goes and Comes Around adapts and modernises the realist-cum-naturalistic novel, producing a sharp, poignant and sometimes acerbically funny study of contemporary living.The Randalls are the fashionable, aspirant, working family to be found on every street. Until their relationships' frailties are brutally laid bare by explosive revelations. Amid the toxic fallout from the household's spiralling debt, there's the destructive affair of beautiful Cathy - wife and mother-of-two - with her urbane boss.What Goes and Comes Around follows the journeys of four estranged individuals, slowly, painfully grasping that they have constructed their own little worlds on treacherously shaky foundations.

The abrupt, cruel end of his wife's romance with wealthy, ruinous Michael leads her on a parallel, lonely route to self-discovery. But in the austere modern world, the price of enlightenment could become unbearably high.While their parents struggle to find their feet, young Davie Randall's cheeky entrepreneurialism and his sister Alicia's embryonic musical career attract the unhealthy interest of the local hood, Liam Briggs. His reckless interference puts the kids' lives on the line. Only by pulling together and finding strength in each other again can their stricken parents hope to avert disaster... Isn't it clear that reconciliation and some tough decisions might just help them through their financial crisis to recover, better and wiser human beings?Set in the post-industrial North in the great financial crash's aftermath, What Goes and Comes Around adapts and modernises the realist-cum-naturalistic novel, producing a sharp, poignant and sometimes acerbically funny study of twenty-first century life.

We always try to have a variety of genres represented on our site, but this month represents the best collection yet of epic fantasy with a personal touch, far-reaching science fiction with a practical bent, truly haunting psychological horror, and a few more speculative stories that don't fit well into a certain category.Fiction Vortex, let’s see …A fiction vortex is a tornado of stories that pick you up and hurl you through a barn to find enlightenment on the other side. It’s a whirlpool of fascinating tales so compelling that they suck you in, drag you down to the bottom of your mind, and drown you with incessant waves of glorious imagery and believable characters.Nope.A fiction vortex is an online speculative fiction magazine focused on publishing great science fiction and fantasy, and is run by incredibly attractive and intelligent people with great taste in literature and formidable writing prowess.Not that either.

It sprang fully formed from the elbow of TWOS, retaining none of TWOS’s form but most of its spirit. And the patron god of writers, the insecure, the depressed, and the mentally ill regarded Fiction Vortex in his magic mirror of self-loathing and declared it good, insofar as something that gives writer’s undue hope can be declared good.

A tragic love story of a young couple with different outlooks.It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.
