A Chronicle of the Roman Twilight: A Novel
Price range: $3.99 through $33.99The story begins in A.D. 364 when the author of this memoir, Marcus Cedranus, is born into a middle class landowner’s family in western Britain. While his material prospects are promising, his deteriorating relationship with his parents causes him to leave home for the continent. In Gaul he becomes a teamster for a freight hauling company, meets an older woman who will eventually play a major role in his life and is drafted into the Roman army in 382.
He is assigned to Legion XXII in Mainz and in 383 is temporarily transferred to Belgrade on the Danube. A revolt in the west makes this transfer permanent. He participates in several military campaigns and takes part in a triumph in Constantinople in 386. In 388 his regiment takes part in the eastern offensive against the revolt in the west that has by now spread to Italy. With the revolt suppressed, he is assigned to a new imperial guard regiment for the restored western emperor, Valentinian II. During another transfer to the east Marcus suffers a terrible personal tragedy from which it is impossible to recover. Another civil war breaks out in the west and is suppressed with terrible casualties.
Marcus is appointed tribune and made a member of the personal staff of Stilicho, the new generalissimo of the west. Further military adventures take place in Greece, Britain and Italy. A massive barbarian invasion of the west on December 31, 406 triggers political instability leading to revolts in both Britain and Italy. This inevitably leads to the sack of Rome by Alaric and his Visigoths in 410.

The Max Faraday Chronicles
$14.99Who am I and why should you read my story? My name is Max Faraday. Nobody is going to believe me, but here I am putting it all down on paper. I am a man of two time periods. Forgive me, this sci-fi stuff is new to me.
A week or more ago, in July 2002, I came home for my 1982 high school class reunion. I was staying with my friend Jamie Scott and his family. On the way home from the reunion, we picked up his kids at the babysitter. Their little girl comes out and bounces a ball that tumbles out of her hands into the street.
Just as we arrived, a car speeds up and my instincts take over. I pick her up and get her out of the way, but I was then hit by the speeding car! Stunned, I wake up in September 1978! I am a thirty-eight-year-old man in a fourteen-year-old’s body! I can’t tell anyone, or they would lock me up, thinking I’m crazy! I know I would.
So here I am in the eighth grade all over again. When I went to bed in 1978, I woke up in a coma in 2002, wondering about the driver who ran me over.

Yareli and The Dynamite Girls
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99Our country was founded on religious principles, which were given to us by the Hebrews! Early on, Moses led the people from Egypt and gave them the laws to follow. God kept them protected with a column of fire each night that stretched far into the sky! No other nation would dare to draw near them, for they feared the column of fire. God led them to the ‘Promised Lands’ when they reached the banks of the Jordan River, forty years later, this was where the pillar of fire went out! But the spirit of the fire burned in the hearts of the girls, as they were cast out of their homes and separated from their families. This is the story is told by the Hebrew girl who traveled our country in the eighteen hundreds. She was given the name of “Yareli” She was protected by a column of fire, and this was her Sister Numees, she was Arapaho and she was the leader like Joshua was, and they battled their way to the promised lands. During their journey they battled with evil, and this was where they found ‘Rebekah’ This was a dynamic group of girls that had discovered the miracle of ‘Dynamite’ thus the name of the “Dynamite Girls” Yareli, who is the Hebrew girl, tells you the story of their travels. Her name Yareli comes from her Sister, in Arapaho, or ‘Algonquian’ it means “Water Lady” She kept the other two girls tempers cooled with the ‘Mikvah’ or the ‘Sacred Water’.
This story was told to me by my Grandmother, who came to the west in the eighteen hundreds. She lived to be near a hundred years old, and her eyes were clear and bright as the sun, right to the end of her life. She and my Grandfather are buried at ‘Myers Falls’ in Washington State, which is called ‘Kettle Falls’ now since the building of the Coulee Dam. My Grandmother was named ‘Annie’ and she was very special to me. She saved my life when I was around nine years old, and this is where her stories began. She had a talent for telling a tale; with her eyes she made me feel her spirit, she still lives in my Soul to this day. I still feel her Love wrap around me whenever I think of her. She is the force behind the story of Yareli. Grandmother would be furious when she spoke of antisemitism, because Yareli was Jewish! Grandmother loved all the people around her and kept them gathered together with her Faith. She never passed judgment on anyone because of the color of their skin. She adopted two NezPierce women who taught her of ‘Healing’ She lived near the Wild Horse trail on a homestead back in those days, and she was the closest thing to a doctor at that time, because Colville was way back down the trail. She was special to everyone that met her. I still feel her Spirit moving with my blood, as I write my stories for Annie, so her Spirit is never forgotten.

Jennifer’s Destiny
Price range: $3.99 through $14.99Dear Readers,
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I’d be writing this to you, but here goes. I always assumed someone else would write about the author, but this time I decided to do it myself. I’m not much of a reader, mostly for research, but I love to write, poetry, newspaper articles, short stories, and that’s what sort of got this project started. More years ago than I’d like to admit my mom, knowing I like to write, sent me a magazine she subscribed to with a note on the front to look on a certain page where I found a full page describing an amateur writing contest they have every year. It’s been so long ago that I don’t remember what the prize amount was, but it was five figures I do remember that and it could only be up to 25,000 words, I think. Gee, I thought that was an awful lot of words. Had no idea what I might write about, but agreed I’d give it some thought.
Then one day on the USPS rural one hundred and nine miles mail route I used to run an incident that happened to one of the girls in our high school years ago crossed my mind. I was never sure how the unfortunate situation was handled, but while I drove the rest of the route I began to imagine what I’d would do if I was in the same situation. That was the beginning of my short story. I’d think of something out on one of those lonely roads, like it and couldn’t wait until I could get home and put it on paper. When I finished that idea the story contained too many words to enter their contest.
And besides that it didn’t feel finished to me anyway. That’s when my vivid imagination really began to work overtime. As it happened at the time I was going through a divorce and had an abundance of time on my hands, so just let my mind wander. Where would the story go from there? And why? What motivation would that girl have? Really! But fate had in for her something she, like me, could never have imagined. I hope you like what she did, experienced, learned and enjoyed along the way. I think she did!
