In his quest, Caspar stumbles across a hidden cottage in the woods, and a different sort of treasure altogether.Scarlett, living with her sister and grandmother, belongs nowhere. Her father’s mistakes led to their exile from England and their banishment into the forest. The cold winter months have taken their toll on Scarlett’s spirits and her grandmother’s health. The Englishman who arrives at Scarlett’s door, looking more like a bear than a captain of the British army, reminds her of all she lost to the war.With winter drawing to a close, Caspar must find the missing gold, but his quest to right the wrongs of war has changed. Can Scarlett let him rescue her, too?The Captain and Miss Winter is based on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, as recorded by the Brothers Grimm.

    eBook (Red Leaf Press, Aug. 8, 2016)
    NOW ON SALE - In the first five minutes over a million people will die… that’s just the beginning of the nightmare.The super solar-storm wasn’t supposed to hit Earth—the odds were against it. And yet with barely a warning it did, and everything changed. In a remote oceanfront town, life begins to spiral downward after the storm causes a global electrical blackout. As planes begin falling from the sky, Scott Montgomery watches helplessly as pandemonium consumes the world around him. But the loss of electrical power is just the first of the problems facing the survivors in the chaos that follows.Social order crumbles as a steadily growing number of people realize that there are no longer any consequences for their actions. Soon Scott discovers the truth: Not just about the extent of damage to the world's infrastructure, but also the draconian plans one group has for regaining control and ensuring their own vision for the new world .Catalyst is a shockingly realistic and largely fact-based tale about how society copes when the world is thrust back to a time before technology. If you are a fan of Steve Konkoly, Tom Abrahams or A. American, —you will love this book.
