    With Lance leading the way, the Knights of the Round Table have set out to convince the American people that amending the Constitution to protect children is long overdue.

  • There Is No Fear

    Michael J. Bowler

    Paperback (Michael Bowler, July 16, 2014)
    The most famous boy in the world is a prisoner. He’s been charged with a crime that could send him to prison for the rest of his life. Languishing within the most secure juvenile facility in California—with the district attorney vowing to make an example of him—Lance must endure the daily indignities of incarcerated youth. New Camelot is fractured without him. Ricky is bereft, while Arthur feels the loss of his son with a despondency that can’t be quelled. Then there’s Michael, the volatile teen who helped write the proposition that will change California forever. His instability may well threaten the lives of everyone at New Camelot. As the election looms closer, Proposition 51 takes on an even greater significance in light of the pending trial. The more harshly Lance is treated within the broken justice system, the more he contemplates the wisdom of children having more adult rights. If The Child Voter Act becomes law, and fourteen-year-olds become “legal adults,” might it simply allow real adults to throw more kids into prison? Whichever way the voters decide, Lance’s greatest fear remains the same: will he ever rejoin the people he loves?

  • And The Children Shall Lead

    Michael J. Bowler

    Paperback (Michael Bowler, Sept. 22, 2014)
    The campaign to save California’s children was only the beginning. Now Lance and Ricky target America’s most sacred document – The Constitution. Native American teens Kai and Dakota—harboring secrets of their own—join the crusade and swear undying loyalty to Lance. They carry the hope of their people that the movement will better the lives of Indian children, who are inexcusably neglected by government. This new campaign will take the young people to The White House, the halls of Congress, and beyond in their quest to change the prevailing opinion that children are property, rather than human beings in their own right. But an unseen nemesis stalks Lance and ratchets up the attacks on New Camelot, promising to destroy all that Arthur has put in place. “You were right, little boy, death is coming for you, but slowly, and only after it takes out the people you love.” These chilling words haunt Lance, but also strengthen his resolve to protect the people he loves. Or die trying.

Reminiscent of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, not as steampunk as most steampunk stories I've read, none the less a highly entertaining enjoyable read that I will revisit in the ensuing Guild Chronicles stories. Memorable, likable main characters. – Roger FFirst time reading a steampunk style occult alternative thriller. Lol I loved it, and the author takes you into their world and makes you think and wonder about what's happening. Looking forward to reading more of the adventures of this author. – Linda WI really enjoyed the characters and the refreshing new look at 19th century London as a steampunk setting. I can see this as a potential movie plot with Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Rachel Wietz, and Angela Bassett. – Chris A.It's time for you to cross the aether and become immersed in the adventure and thrills.
