Announcing the forthcoming publication of Shattered 1: The Impact by Thompson Charlie.

ByNeela Tudurí-Kłepfisch

Displaced and running away from political persecution in Zimbabwe, Bloggs shares his macabre experiences of the regime that forced him into exile.

Depressed by his raw, squalid life, the threat of an ignominious death on the streets of Johannesburg and shame of failing his family, the equilibrium between his inner self and the outside world descends into chaos and mental anguish. In near despair and degradation, his blighted spirit collides with the dark forces of his extremity which triggers an amazing transformation that not only saves him but also touches the broken lives of other people around him.

Bloggs, refusing to pity himself, finds philosophical humour in his life situation. For him it is the enduring spirit of freedom and honesty rallied with courageous responses to forces of dehumanization that constitutes nobility and hope.

Now available—Autumn by Melissa Nash, a new fantasy novel

ByCassandra Anderson

After an unexplainable incident at the Carnival of Games, Sara is forced to flee to the neighbouring region of Merrywater with her mother and seek shelter with an uncle and cousin she has never met before. Here, Sara learns of a secret kept hidden from her all her life, that her newfound family are amongst a select few people in the whole country who can use Magic.

Sara learns from her cousin, Shumuti, that Magic is an energy found in the natural environment, allowing nature to bloom and flourish. But take too much from the landscape, and the land begins to wilt and die, meaning that with the ability to use Magic there also comes the responsibility to protect this energy, to prevent exploitation of the natural world.

Following several attacks from an unknown enemy, Sara’s uncle, Seaglen, establishes that Magic is being misused to the north. Wanting to help, but unable to wield Magic herself, Sara accompanies Shumuti and her friend, Aurielle, to investigate the situation. Warning them that there are people there who may wish to take advantage of their power, Seaglen advises them to undertake their task discretely.

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by Daragh Fleming

Glowing review for The Book of Revelations by Daragh Fleming

ByCassandra Anderson

This is the first publication from the young Cork author and it is an impressive debut. The most striking element is the voice. It goes without saying that any novel or short story or any piece of fiction really needs to have an original voice. Sometimes, it can take a while to establish a voice. Sometimes, it is a matter of finding it and having the confidence to recognize your voice. In the case of Daragh Fleming he brings us a strong new voice right from the first page. The stories are also written in a very distinct style which Flemming refers to as conversational.

ByCassandra Anderson

Fiona Taylor enjoys staying out late with her friends. She hates her mother. She’s  bored by her high school, and tired of her day-to-day life. A typical teenager, perhaps. 

Except, in some ways, Fiona is not typical. Her mother has forbidden her to enter the basement. A man jogs past their house every day trying hard not to look like a cop. And her mother’s cello case seems to get heavier every time she brings it home.
