JIMMY STU LIVES!
by Kent McDaniel
Science Fiction Fantasy Futuristic

Jimmy Stu Sloan has lost his faith. He's a pastor facing old age and eventual death, trying to hold things together for the sake of his burgeoning congregation, The Church of the Living Lord. Inspiration strikes on Easter Sunday morning, just as he's about to give his televised sermon. And, instead of speaking only of the resurrection of Christ, he makes a bid for his own resurrection in the future, vowing to move forward with plans for cryogenic preservation of his body. But when he awakens in the future to find himself young again and memories intact, he discovers not everyone's happy to see him back from the dead. In the hands of his second-in-command, his church has grown to become a political behemoth with more power than he thinks is right. Question is, will he live long enough to help change things back to the way they should be, with church and state remaining separate?
An exciting adventure featuring cover art by renowned comic book illustrator Joe Staton, available now in ebook at popular online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble and Smashwords. Coming soon in print!

THE REALMS OF BELIAR
THE SWORD MYNDARIT
Andrew Arrowsmith
Fantasy (quest/epic/high fantasy)

In the world Rigatona, magic rules. It is a world similar to Earth in many ways, though the physics are a little different. This is not just a different world, it is a different plane of existence.

A link between Earth’s Plane and this one has existed off and on for thousands of years, and it has, on several occasions, joined Earth and Rigantona, permitting travel from the lower plane (Earth’s) to the higher one with ease. Usually the passage is by accident, and travel in the other direction happens with great difficulty. Most life forms found on Earth are found on Rigatona as well, but then there are the others...

When the benevolent Empire of old is challenged by the upstart Alliance run by greedy, bloodthirsty tyrants, life, pleasant and prosperous under imperial rule, faces a bitter end as the Alliance closes in. But the gods are not above interfering, and four young, inexperienced people may hold the key to the continued future of the Empire – with a little help from a talking sword.

Official Apex Reviews Rating: 4 stars

When the peace and stability of the longstanding Empire is threatened by the malevolent Alliance, an upstart group of bloodthirsty tyrants, the secure, prosperous life of old faces a tragic, abrupt end; however, four young, courageous heroes may just hold the key to preserving the Empire’s fate – but, in a world ruled by magic, only if they get a little help from a “higher” source...

Profoundly imaginative, The Realms Of Beliar: The Sword Myndarit is an enjoyable read. In the tradition of Tolkien, Herbert, and other Fantasy/Sci-Fi scribes, author Andrew Arrowsmith has crafted a compelling morality tale featuring unique characters and skillfully interwoven plotlines, all designed to captivate the readers’ interest as the all-engrossing suspense of the saga unfolds. By the end, you can’t help finding yourself inexorably drawn to the outcome of the heroes’ fate, as Arrowsmith proves quite adept at prolonging the much-anticipated climax of his winding tale. A recommended fantasy thriller.

DRAGONCON!!!!

Last weekend (Labor Day weekend) a couple of us went to DragonCon in downtown Atlanta.

For those of you who've never heard of DragonCon, it is the ultimate geek convention that serves every stripe or spot of fantasy, science-fiction, or horror fan. With stars and reps from just about every industry franchise imaginable (book, movie, TV series, comic book, gaming, etc.) this is a fantasy/horror/sci-fi lover's dream (or nightmare, depending on what is preferred).

The big Saturday kickoff started with the costume parade, where fans dressed in costumes line the streets downtown and strut their stuff. Believe me, there was everything imaginable from French maids to Star Wars Storm Troopers. I'll post a picture of 'Terminator' with young 'John Conner' as soon as I get a chance. My highlight was attending a Q&A session by Kate Mulgrew, 'Captain Janeway' of the Starship Voyager. She gave a moving and heartfelt performance. She is really a super lady whom I admire - and wish I could be more like her.

Crowded, exhausting, time-consuming, frustrating, and expensive - nevertheless this gathering of over 40,000 genre fans was a fun experience. We're planning to go back next year in costume!
