     Dr. Heidenhoff's Process

This book is perfectly layout for reading on e-Reader.A novel about a doctor who develops a method of eradicating painful memories from people's brains so that they can feel good about life again. Excerpt from Dr Heidenhoff's Process. Deacon Tuttle had spoken and prayed, Deacon Miller had prayed and spoken, Brother Hunt had amplified a point in last Sunday's sermon, Brother Taylor had called attention to a recent death in the village as a warning to sinners, and Sister Morris had prayed twice, the second time it must be admitted, with a certain perceptible petulance of tone, as if willing to have it understood that she was doing more than ought to be expected of her. But while it was extremely improbable that any others of the twenty or thirty persons assembled would feel called on to break the silence, though it stretched to the crack of doom, yet, on the other hand, to close the meeting before the mill bell had struck nine would have been regarded as a dangerous innovation. Accordingly, it only remained to wait in decorous silence during the remaining ten minutes.

     The Air Pirate

Nearly two years ago a leading London daily newspaper said: "The Government have assured us that all danger from present and future air piracies is now over, and that the recent events which so startled and horrified both this country and the United States of America can never recur. For our own part we accept that assurance, and we do not think that the Commissioner of Air Police for the British Government will be caught napping again.

     The Last Adventure of Dr. Yngve Hogalum

In this first novelette of the Magnetron Chronicles series, eccentric Nineteenth Century inventor Phineas J. Magnetron reveals his association with the secretive Hogalum Society. When his mentor and Society founder Dr. Hogalum dies, Phineas embarks on a daring and improbable caper to bring the good doctor's greatest dream to fruition posthumously, thus unearthing a haunting and compelling mystery.Phineas Magnetron is an eccentric Nineteenth Century inventor and former Union soldier whose war injury has unaccountably bestowed upon him a strange gift he doesn't completely understand. No stranger to peril and derring-do, Phineas is asked to join a secret organization of crime fighting adventurers by none other than Society founder, Dr. Yngve Hogalum.Traveling the globe in their Luftigel electric airship, Phineas Magnetron and his Hogalum brothers encounter mistrustful policemen, mentally ill criminals, wood-craving aliens, a witch doctor, a mad oracle, and a cross-dressing female matador, among many others. However, this "steam dream team" always manages to triumph over impossible odds and improbable obstacles as they preserve order in a disorderly world—with all the Steam Age weird science they can muster.The Magnetron Chronicles is a serialized steampunk tale re-envisioning the future of generations past with all the breathless melodrama and tumult of that Victorian-era pulp fiction staple, the "penny dreadful." The narrative harks back to the grandiose style of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, but gently satirized with a sprinkling of purposeful anachronisms, double entendres, tongue-in-cheek inventions, and droll Twainian humor. Adapted from "The Secret Journals of Phineas J. Magnetron," a web serial characterized by short chapters with cliffhanger endings, the story builds chapter by chapter, volume by volume, as quirky new characters join the fray and perplexing new mysteries and situations arise.The Magnetron Chronicles is a planned 12-volume series of novelette-length volumes. In this first novelette of the series The Magnetron Chronicles, we are introduced to Phineas J. Magnetron, an eccentric Nineteenth Century inventor blessed with a strange gift he doesn't completely understand. As a former soldier and current member of the Hogalum Society, an inscrutable secret organization of crime fighting adventurers, Phineas is no stranger to peril and derring-do. But when the Society founder dies, Phineas embarks on a daring and improbable caper to bring the good doctor's greatest dream to fruition posthumously. In the process, he not only horrifies his Society brothers, but unearths a haunting and compelling mystery.

He is extremely reluctant to become the savior of all humanity.Saving the human race proves to be far more difficult than he could ever have imagined. Mike Hurst, a former Army Sergeant, is thrust into a role that should be handled by someone use to dealing with major military organizations and politicians.His new alien friend, Jonelle, is certain that he is more than capable, especially after he is upgraded with some very unique abilities. He is now able to communicate to other upgraded people, without speaking; and his mind can handle hundreds of complicated tasks simultaneously. Also, there is a great deal of self confidence to be had by possessing three times the strength of a normal human being.Mike knows that he must recruit good people. Jonelle urges him to pursue other old combat vets, who will be upgraded and brought into the warrior class. But Mike realizes, while that is important, perhaps of greater impact would be the recruitment of senior military leaders, such as an old General, whom he hated.He begins to build a staff, by kidnapping the old General, as well as one of his men from Iraq and his badly injured son and daughter-in-law. They would form the first members of his staff. Yet, in spite of small, awkward successes, he fears their progress is far too slow and nothing mankind can do will prevent the complete destruction of the human race.

Caught in the fray of treachery and deceit, Dia Thorpe must unravel the mysteries of her past before her past unintentionally stabs her in the back. She is hurled into a peril fraught journey of incredible discoveries and evil twists. An interplanetary adventure to learn who she is, all the while avoiding the wrath of a God; a logic-bound being, driven by the will to end all suffering. Quickly.Who saved her from imprisonment on Earth? Why? What explained her ability to heal? Did answers to Dia's questions lie in the beautiful city of Avalon?This is a fiction novella of 23,000 words and is part 1 in the Silvaera’s Spire series.Extract:“It’s ready.” Said Kant, who had been busying himself behind a panel in the far corner. “Are you ready?” Dia hadn’t even considered this. The importance of seeing Daniel again was paramount. She looked down at her sword in its sheath and her almost impenetrable outfit, then across to the gun which was now hanging from a loop on her skirt. “I am ready.” She finally replied, her voice calm but serious.Kant wordlessly shifted closer to Dia and clasped her hand. A moment later the room and everything in existence had simply gone, including Dia herself. She could neither feel nor sense.Then Kant was there, she could feel him. Then she could see green light. It was overwhelming at first, but after a few seconds, Dia’s eyes adjusted to the brightness and the green focused into individual objects. There were great trees, vines, bushes and long grasses in all directions but one; to Dia’s side there was a path cutting its way through the jungle. She knew where this led. She remembered it now. It was a path created by herself and Daniel long ago, before peace had become war. Before Ssus. She felt comforted somewhat by the sights before her and the familiar smells of foliage. Beckoning Kant to follow, she began to follow the path through the undergrowth.They walked onwards for some time. It wasn’t a difficult walk as the path somehow prevented itself from becoming overgrown. When they came to rivers or great chasms, there were bridges which seemed far too sophisticated for the area. Once, the path took them directly through a mountain, the underground passageway lit by white-flamed torches which apparently never burned out.

     Tracy's Escape

For a long time I didn’t even want to talk about it, or think about it. Then Dr. Denay said if I wrote down the whole story, I might recover better. Then I could make sense of the fire, and the city disaster, and all those men who were after me.This is how Tracy begins her story, and how her special power labeled her as one of the gifted.When youthful wanderlust causes a naive couple from Ottawa Canada to get on a motorcycle, and head to British Columbia, they had no way of knowing just what a life changing adventure they were embarking on. Monica is only one week from her eighteenth birthday and leaving behind her family, and a cat that she adores. While Jeff is taking with him the only thing of any value that he feels he has, his one true love, Monica.Meeting a slightly older and wiser American couple along the way in an old Mustang, Pete and Issy, turns out to be the best thing that happens to them, but also the worst. Will Pete convince Jeff to smoke some of his weed with him, even if Monica is threatening to leave if he does? Or will their new found quest to save the world empower them all to stay together no matter what? And just what trouble does Monica cause when she convinces Jeff yet again to let her take a turn at the controls of the motorcycle? They all enjoy the simple pleasure of roasting marshmallows over a campfire, and are all enchanted by an unexpected encounter with some large wildlife in the Badlands. They even take time to contemplate over a famous battlefield. All of this occurs while on their way to the Rocky Mountains. And once in the Rockies they come face to face with their biggest and most unexpected foe. The outcome is uncertain, but the excitement and passion they all experience is definite. And while all this is happening to the two couples on the highways of North America, Monica’s cat Juniper is back in Ottawa trying to figure out the answers to the universe on her own.

     Communists in Outer Space

The Buzludzha Files: De-classified! An ‘Atom’ is 99.999999% (recurring) empty space. if we removed all of the empty space from within the human body, our entire species, that is to say, every person on earth would now be no bigger in size than that of a single sugar cube Isabella Davies PhD is a pseudonym of British singer/songwriter: Jonathan R, P. Taylor.An ‘Atom’ is 99.999999% (recurring) empty space… if we removed all of the empty space from within the human body, our entire species, that is to say every person on earth, would now be no bigger in size than that of a single sugar cubeIsabella’s madness, her decent into chaos, has, as many a mortal genius would agree, given us a work of wonder. For Communists in Outer Space is so much more than a generic study of quantum or astrophysics. It is a work of pure genius, of absolute splendour, the truth is examined in magnitude. Produced whilst held in captivity, who are we to say what is fiction or what is fact? What matters is that for Isabella, here lies ‘her’ truth. A truth that has inevitably cost her dearly. History is filled with those who give accounts of divine experience, a Holiness unexplained. The Prophets Mohammed (peace be upon him), Jesus and Moses, and countless others have all heard the Divine word of instruction, as I Gabriela too. But here, in Isabella’s own account we learn for the first time of new, undiscovered Prophets - those of the Socialists.Having completed her Ph.D, ‘Pyschopic Husbandry’, it may be argued that further studies into time and space travel, or telepathy and telekinesis was inevitable? Constraints and restrictions cannot be put onto the young enquiring scientists mind – for her mind was opened and it received – But what had it received? For here within her text, the history of Socialism is now completely re-written, the Godless Communist is now given faith – a faith and belief that their own determination to conquer destroyed. Are there Communists out there in outer-space? Are their dead souls trapped within the walls of Buzludzha? Here Isabella answers that question.
