As the world is consumed by massive floods, one Texas family chooses to build their own survival raft in this climate disaster novel. Before the Big Flood, Liz Green worried more about getting in trouble at school than global climate change. She lives on the Texas Coastal Plain with her single mother, brilliant older brother, and awkward younger brother. But as the water keeps rising, her family—along with billions of people all over the world—are stuck between the rising seas and snarled escape routes. The military is overwhelmed and the wealthy are rushing to their secret ocean habitats. But a website called RaftPeople.com is helping ordinary people construct homemade crafts to float out of the disaster. Now Liz and her family must work together with their neighbors—a female special forces officer, and a retired naval engineer—to build their craft before their Houston suburb floods.
A supernatural journey through China reveals a haunting vision of humanity in this epic horror novel inspired by the King Solomon legends.

Now he and his wife Li Na are embarking on a dangerous trip south with some peculiar company: an old friend from Georgia who may or may not be clairvoyant; a tattooed sociopath with glowing red eyes; and a tall man in black who loves waxing philosophic when he’s not transforming into a spiral. When Li Na goes missing in the bamboo forests of Sichuan, Solomon conjures dark forces to help him get her back—a decision that may cost numerous lives, including his own. On their journey west to find her, Solomon and the others will encounter villainous doppelgangers, whorehouse succubae, satanic congregations, secret government installations, forgotten ruins, and countless cities reduced to rubble.

A UFO investigator presents a provocative theory about how the moon got here, who brought it here, and why—with fascinating historical evidence! Was the moon always in our skies? UFO investigator Rob Shelsky doesn’t think so. In Invader Moon he reveals the secret history of a time before the moon, its dramatic arrival, and its momentous impact on Earth’s civilizations. Shelsky contends that there were two distinct civilizations on our planet—ours, and one before ours. He goes on to suggest that the earlier civilization did not originate on Earth. When it arrived here, it brought the moon along with it. Offering more than mere conjecture, Shelsky supports his theory with physical and archeological evidence, historical records, and oral histories from around the world.
Wreathed in the ashes of betrayal, forced to come of age in the dungeons of her stolen inheritance, Kallie Brynn Soren died so that Dirge might be born . . . In the midst of an undead invasion, Kallie is gifted powers by a dying priest. His last wish is for her to use them against the Necrolords in a way his faith would not allow. Reborn as Dirge and free of the priest’s conscience, she is more than happy to do so. But when fate brings Dirge into the employ of the emperor—the same man whose machinations brought about the murder of her father—the opportunity for revenge becomes too much to ignore. Torn between vengeance and the need to protect the only people she dare call family, Dirge learns there is a much deeper purpose to the Necrolord’s advance. Should it come to light, it might destroy everyone. “A gritty, tale of an female assassin that has no equal. Highly recommended.” —Speculative Book Review
