This 18,000-word SHORT STORY is a Young Adult retelling of the Shakespearean drama, Othello. The year is 3015, and the planet Earth is no more. Existing on space stations strewn about the galaxy, humans are searching for a new planet to call home. Their explorations have led to war with many alien races, leaving their numbers decimated and their position in the universe unstable. A humanoid alien captured during one of Earth’s many wars, Onyx is given his freedom in return for joining the planet’s army. He is placed in an elite unit, where he quickly proves himself a good soldier and climbs the ranks. Many shun him because even though he looks like a human, they know he isn’t one. However, there is one person who does not fear him. Onyx cannot help but love Dia, and marries her against her father’s will. Yet, their happy union is threatened when Isaias, Onyx’s ensign begins whispering secrets of Dia’s infidelity into his ear. When the web of lies, truths, and half-truths begin to engulf Onyx, he finds himself unable to discern who his real friends and enemies are … which will lead to him making one of the biggest mistakes of his life. *This story was previously published as part of the Perchance to Dream anthology of young adult Shakespeare retellings*

“…we naturally expected to meet a well-equipped soldier, but hardly anybody was prepared to find one who had the grasp, the promptness of decision, and the general administrative capacity which he displayed at the very start…”Horace Porter first met Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in the autumn of 1863, when he was on the staff of Gen. George H. Thomas, commander of the Army of the Cumberland.In the November Porter received orders, posting him to Washington and away from the field, but Thomas and his fellow staff officers turned to Grant to assist in his return.After five months in the capital, Grant’s intercession proved successful and Porter joined his staff in April 1864, setting in motion wheels that would go far beyond the present conflict.Porter spent the remainder of the war at Grant’s side, uniquely placing him to witness a master of the formidable game from the crossing of the Rapidan to Appomattox Court House.Encompassing Porter’s fifteen months as an aide to the General-in-Chief, ‘Campaigning with Grant’ recounts the daily acts of the man in the field, his traits, his habits and his motives, bringing the reader an unparalleled familiarity with Grant.Horace Porter (1837-1921) was a Union soldier and diplomat.

Leadership. Relationship. Faith.Horses are born looking for a herd, dogs for a pack, and people for God. The quality of every horse, dog, or human life is the quality of the relationships enjoyed or endured. The “Amazing Grays” are two gray quarter horses who led the author from a successful career in the horse industry to ministry with horses. As Lynn says, “You can’t fool God and you can’t fool a horse. And, like God, horses treat you precisely as you deserve, unless they give you grace.”The search for love, security, companionship, and fun is universal. Creating relationships that deliver great blessing without excessive baggage isn’t easy in our complex world. Ultimately, the search for security and meaning is the search for a relationship with God. Horses are perfect study partners for anyone willing to work, learn, and practice both followership and leadership.“Amazing Grays” applies simple gospel truths to your relationship with horses. The foundations of commitment, faith, and effective correction are shared in stories from the author’s years as an equine professional. Gratitude, distraction, temptation, willingness, and humility are recurring characters in life with horses and your walk with Christ. Simply put, the only reason you don’t enjoy perfection with your horse, your family, your neighbors, and God is that someone is either unable or unwilling to do what is needed. Quite often, that someone is you. Embark on the joyful path of building new levels of understanding and relationship with your horse. Each revelation and success with your equine partner reveals a deeper truth about your own relationship with God. The author credits her life, her successes, and the priceless gift of life with horses to God’s amazing grace. Through horses, Lynn learned the truth of how deep and complete Jesus’s commitment is to her — because it’s the same one she makes to her horses and knows the cost.

However, his assertion that she’s from this strange parallel realm rings true—especially given the freakish abilities she’s had since childhood.Yet, with that knowledge comes a set of expectations Gretchen isn’t sure she can live up to.

One thing is for sure; when the war between good and evil spills over from one realm into another, disrupting her life and threatening the brother who raised her, Gretchen will not hesitate to unleash the powerful storm brewing inside of her.The Lost Kingdom of Fallada Reading OrderBeyond the Iron Gate (Prequel)Daughter of the Red DawnChild of the Sacred EarthRise of the TideTempest's FuryInterview with the AuthorQ: So, what makes the Lost Kingdom of Fallada series special?A: This series combines some of my all-time favorite things.

A fantasy twist on the tale of Snow White, in which Snow White is a shapeshifting Phoenix! Perfect for fans of the hit television show Once Upon A Time, and lovers of twisted fairy talesPampered and hidden away from the world, Princess Desdemona Ravenmoore was taught to hate and fear the enemies of her mother, Queen Eranna. However, once striking out on her own, she unlocked the power burning deep within—the ability to create and control fire. With her newfound power and strength came the knowledge that her mother did not hide her away to protect her, but rather to prevent her from becoming the powerful being she was meant to transform into. One of the mightiest creatures in the universe. A Phoenix. Confronted with the truth of her mother’s treachery, Desmonda faces a choice: join the other princesses of Fallada to wage war against her mother, and reclaim their kingdom from the forces of darkness, or remain neutral and avoid being used for her power. Uncertain which path to follow, she fears that no matter what she decides, she will not be valued for the person she is, but for the weapon she can become if brought under someone’s control. Bear shapeshifter Malachi Voran lost everything when his mate and son were taken captive by the dark queen. Despite doing what was necessary to free them, his mate was lost to him forever. Since then, he has dedicated his life to the fight against Queen Eranna; an effort that includes helping Desdemona learn to harness and control her power. Yet, the more time he spends in her company, the more entranced he has become—not just by her power, but by the tempestuous feelings that being near her causes deep within him. With the battle lines drawn, Malachi is ready to fight for the liberation of the kingdom of Fallada. Whether or not he has the strength required to fight for the heart of a phoenix, is another matter entirely.
