  • Return of the Extinct

    Dan Harmer

    eBook
    Wooly mammoths, of course, were extinct. At least that was the case until a brilliant geneticist named Professor Corbin extracted their DNA and cloned them. Many more species followed: sabertooth cats, dodos, dire wolves, and others. At first the world was thrilled, but when he began bringing mythical creatures to life, everyone assumed he had lost his mind. Jay Wilder, a veterinarian, has the daunting responsibility to capture, study, and manage the de-extinct species. He is aided by a thirteen year old, precocious girl named Morgan Pierce, who will discover that her own past is not what she thought.

    Darren Trott is living the dream. It just isn't the dream he applied for. Darren has a job, a girlfriend and a house with potential. But the job is one he hates, his girlfriend has plans that exclude him, and the house hides secrets that he's done his best to forget. When his past comes back to haunt him, he's forced to confront the possibility that he's lived his whole life as a lie. Someone wants his help. To give it, Darren must step away from his cozy existence to an alien world where tyrants rule and where he and his newfound companions are the only ones that can destroy the monster's murderous stranglehold. But there are those, in both worlds, who don't want him to succeed. Psychopathic relatives, aboriginal demons, warrior queens, and a Brownie called George (with claws, a pork-pie hat and an attitude bigger than a banker's wage), all want a piece of Darren. But they'll have to form an orderly queue. Because first, if he so chooses, there's the small matter of stopping an impending apocalypse...Frivolous Pursuits is an urban fantasy crime novel full of intrigue, adventure and dry, sardonic humour.

  • The 400lb Gorilla

    DC Farmer

    (Spence City, June 24, 2014)
    Matt Danmor thinks he's lucky. Not many people survive a near death accident with nothing more than a bout of amnesia, a touch of clumsiness and the conviction that the technician who did the MRI had grey skin and hooves. Still, it takes time to recover from trauma like that, especially when the girl who was in the accident with you disappears into thin air. Especially when the shrinks keep telling you she's just a figment of your imagination. So when the girl turns up months later looking ravishing, and wanting to carry on where they left off, Matt's troubled life starts looking up. But he hasn't bargained for the baggage that comes with Silvy, like the fact she isn't really an English language student, or even a girl. Underneath her traffic stopping exterior is something else altogether, something involving raving fanatics bent on human sacrifice, dimensionally challenged baked bean tins, a vulture with a penchant for profanity, and a security agent for the Dept of Fimmigration (that's Fae immigration for those of you not in the know) called Kylah with the most amazing gold-flecked eyes The 400 Lb Gorilla is caustic, (vampire-free) introduction to the Hipposync Archives: Contemporary fantasy at its sparkling best.
