Divine Wind
Howard O.A. Jones
About the Book
Cardia, one of the many continents in the realm of Edafos, has remained relatively peaceful after 300 Years of War, a war to conquer the land started by the god-like beings called Divines. Through unimaginable pain and suffering, peace had been achieved, though for only a little more than a century. Now as corrupt Kings and religious struggles arise, one boy rebels. He forges his way across the land, coming at odds with many trials. Will he and his band of friends change the fate of Edafos, or will they simply follow the path that was laid out for them?About the Author
Since I could first form crude pencil marks into words, I has always found myself to be a story teller. Initially it was a hobby, and I only intended to keep it that way. My initial aspirations were of game design, and I kept my writings as a way to chronicle my ideas for the stories of games I would later try to produce. Despite being an avid reader, as time went on I came to value the narrative capabilities of different media and how they change the way a story can be told. -

Grant’s Wish
T.S. Pollard
About the Book
Grant’s Wish is a delightful tale of a very old and historic hotel that’s fallen on hard times and is rundown. The 150- year-old Silver Swan Inn once boasted famous overnight guests, such as authors, US presidents, and noted military leaders like Ulysses S. Grant, who stayed there occasionally during the Civil War years.
Lee Nieman, manager of a posh Atlanta hotel, has been demoted for engaging in local politics and exiled to Plainview, Indiana, where the Swan Inn, the hotel chain’s least profitable property, is located. His job is to ready the hotel to be sold or torn down. Dispirited initially, he grows to cherish the antique-filled hotel’s charms and its rich history and eventually aims to buy and restore it. But there are obstacles: a down payment he can’t afford; the haughty, rich great-granddaughter of the Swan’s founder; and an old Indian, whose tribe has a legendary grudge against the hotel. The story, sprinkled with history, reads like a mystery with surprising turns of events all keeping readers turning pages and perhaps gaining a view of our nation’s 18th President that likely differs from what they learned in school.About the Author
