You can download a free novel that is Part 1 of our Saga, Azure Sea Gold.

It is April 1945 when U-boat U-2072 heads out of Hamburg for the last time. In its hold, the torpedoes have been replaced by gold and Nazi loot. The destination is Argentina. On board, ruthless Kapitanleutnant Falk Friedrich has brought his fiancée, Kristin Dassmer.

The U-boat is attacked by American torpedo bombers off the Bahamas and sunk. Kristin finds herself in a lifeboat with three others including Bern Munkelt, the man she is to spend the rest of her life with. They are rescued by Danardo Rolle and taken to Little Toe Cay, a remote island where Kristin’s adventures begin.

Xentrix the Dragon

So you finally got here. It's about time. Here we are, spending hours trying to get everything set up and you finally decide you'll grace us with your presence. Well, now you're here, you're better stay and find out about us. My name is Xentrix and I'm a dragon. Don't ask me why I'm usually just a tiny dot in the sky. Now, wouldn't you rather see a full sized dragon than a bunch of skinny humans with nothing better to do than swing their arms around?

You wouldn't? Now listen here you snivelling little human these Emerald Eyes stories are not for a namby-pamby snotty nosed pale excuse of a human...

What's that you say?

You aren't...

Well, okay I believe you but if you're one of those weak knee damsels in distress expecting some prince to gather you up on his white horse, this is the wrong place for you. Our gals are tough, I tell yah. They have to be if they want to ride on my back or fight off the horrible creepy creatures we've got between our pages.

The Emerald Eyes Wizards are gals, but if you think they're big softies, you got that wrong too. Can't you get anything right?

There's a war on in our first story, pretty nasty one, I'd say. Of course, I haven't arrived to help them yet so things look pretty bad, the castle is surrounded,  the archwizard is at his wits end and it's winter. I told you it was tough, but oh no you don't believe me. You humans can be so ignorant. The next thing you'll believe is that trees are dumb things that just grow and birds don't know how to talk.

You want to find our more?

Why didn't you say instead of just letting me ramble on?  Lucky for you, Pal is that our November theme is about fantasy

Fantasy! What a laugh. We're real Buddy so watch out for us. Look at the photo above to prove it. That's Cindy riding on my back. No! No! It's Sylvia.  Well it's hard to tell humans apart, you know!

Yours in haste

Xentrix

(P.S. If you think I'm annoying, wait until you meet my big sister, Charmaine She's ... Opps, she's coming; I'd better go. I wasn't even meant to write this blurb.)

Affinity And Trust

Ross Richdale

Zuzana Milenkova, rescued from her fate as a sex slave of a rebel militia group in war-torn Bosnia, finds herself alone in a strange new country. She has emigrated to New Zealand and has Anglicised her name to  Susan but is that sufficent? There are many obstacles to overcome, a new language to learn, different customs, and a new career, but she also has to come to terms with the horror of the past before she can move on and create a new future.

She befriends Frazer Winton who breaks through her reserve and fear of men. Their friendliness becomes more intense as she begins to trust humanity again. Her composure is, however, ruptured when, on a back country walking trip she has to walk through a disused railway tunnel.

When the darkness inside envelops her, terrible memories of another tunnel back in her homeland seize her in a panic attack.

What are these terrible memories and will they haunt her new life in a new land? And can Frazer help or is the hurdle too deep and soul destroying for her to conquer?
