Progeny of the Shrine

 



Progeny of the Shrine
Author: Richard Kellier
SOMETHING NEW WALKS THE EARTH

A scientific mystery on a collision course with occult and religious beliefs.

Geneticist, Tim Leigh, has developed an obsession with a collection of ancient medical charts on his office wall. An obsession that triggers a course of action leading to the revelation of an ancient enigma. Recruiting the help of his friend and colleague, mathematician Rachel Kardo, they embark on a quest to solve the mystery hidden within the ancient medical diagrams.

The ancient code is cracked - revealing something deeply mystifying, unprecedented and bizarre. A discovery that will change everyone's lives – forever. What they have discovered is a prediction of the coming of a new species of evolutionary advanced humans. Leigh and Kardo now know that humanity must take just one more step on its evolutionary journey - we must evolve.

Stimulated by bigotry and intolerance, a group of Fourth Reich scientists attempt to destroy humanity's gift, and replace it with their own genetically engineered creation.

Pursuing the ancient code's revelations, Tim and Rachel find themselves at the centre of the most extraordinary events in human history. Some say it is a New Beginning, some say it is the End of Days. It is both; the Alpha and the Omega.

Events culminate in a dramatic finale, in which the ultimate battle between good and evil is played out at one of humanity’s most sacred locations – and a revelation of Biblical proportions.

Beware: all is not as it seems.

Anonyma

 


ANONYMA


The history of art is littered with Great Men and the Muses they use as stepping stones to brilliance. In this shockingly lyrical, endlessly rich and luxurious nightmare of a novel, the Muse turns. Yet, it is not so much a tale of vengeance or comeuppance as it is a heroine’s journey, as Anonyma survives doomscapes almost beyond imagination and the transgressions of mere men, mere artists, survives the horrors imposed upon the feminine to rediscover her own magic and power. Anonyma, novel and narrator, holds up a dark mirror to our paradigm of art as a kind of device for reducing women to Platonic ideals while staging theophanies for men. But she also holds the mirror to herself, her sisters, even, daring to hope, a daughter. Anonyma is a novel full of blood and love and despair and courage.

Magick From Chaos to Clarity

  


Magick: From Chaos to Clarity


Magick is all around us all the time!

This book is about bringing your magickal knowledge out of chaos and into the clarity, to make sure you know how to use it to the full potential.

Before you start telling me that I spelled Magick wrong, don’t. When you spell Magick with a “k” on the end you speak about magick in the actual correct way. Magic without the “k” refers to acts of illusion, like pulling a rabbit out fo a house or making a car disappear. Magick with a “k” is about creating good in our world and universe.  

Inside the book you will learn how to create, direct, and share magick. You will learn how you can work with magick individually, in small groups, large groups and the possibility of using in a world setting.  

You will learn the connection between love and magick as well as how intelligent magick actually is in our universe. You will tap into the power of magick and how the billions of people on this planet are creating magick all the time and are unaware they are doing.  

After consuming the information in this book your outlook on the energy of magick will be drastically changed. Magick is the most unlimited resource in our world. There is no limit to the magick we as humans can create and with this knowledge you will learn the ease in which you can create it.  

Are you ready to take a journey into the world of Magick? In all history you will find tales of Magickal feats many of which are considered myths. After reading this book you might have a different opinion on those myths.  

As a bonus for getting this book you will also gain access to a free class on creating Happiness Notes. A class showing you how you can brighten the day of the other human beings on this planet one person at a time.

Ask No Questions, Hear No Delusions

 


Ask No Questions, Hear No Delusions


Ten stories.
Ten predicaments.
Ten ‘there’s no going back now’ decisions will be made.

We are all capable of immorality, including murder, whether we want to believe this or not. It just takes the right amount of provocation in the wrong circumstances. It’s what you do next that really defines you and whatever lies it takes to delude yourself from reality.

Sex and lust, with all the finer things in-between.

What would you do?

Hand yourself in? Perhaps pass the blame? Play the victim? Find an excuse? Or even seek revenge?

  • A couple runs away from their troubles in England to the Scottish Highlands, where they renovate and document a unique cottage on their YouTube channel.
  • A young promising Premier League footballer ends up in the middle of an adopted family triangle.
  • A young man vanishes to Spain, where he befriends his mysterious neighbour. Are both men going to share what they’re hiding from?
  • A teenager’s fear of showing their face in public again after receiving online abuse.
  • A young, naïve man seeks advice from his old womanising landlord, who shares his worldly advice on pursuing one’s fantasies.
  • A dysfunctional couple argues and fights all day as they attempt to prolong the end of something more important than just their relationship.
  • A housewife figures out what her husband’s birthday present will be from her husband, but it’s not the only thing she discovers.
  • A couple opens up a pharmacy in Edinburgh’s Old Town when odd things begin to happen as the couple’s relationship becomes distant.
  • A greedy builder wakes up to discover his hidden, untaxed stash has gone missing.
  • One half of a famous married off-screen couple of a much-loved kid’s TV show goes missing. Is revenge more desirable than love? Even more valuable than fame and fortune?

Escaping Toward Freedom

 



CLARISSA DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN WHILE SHE WAS ON VACATION

This trip to the North Georgia mountains will be unlike the previous trips for Clarissa, a retired Navy specialist. She loves these mountains, the closed woods offering a welcomed mystery, and for good reason. She’d written her last novel, a sci fi romantic bestseller, in these Blue Ridge Mountains. Now facing financial hardship, Clarissa hopes that this vacation will prove magical. She has no idea what awaits.

On her run back to her rental cabin, her feet tapping the narrow dirt road that stretches for miles, she notices a break in the cabin’s basement window. Right away, she pulls her gun, enters the cabin and searches the basement. She sees nothing. Yet, she isn’t safe.

An hour doesn’t pass when she spots a girl hiding at the edge of her cabin. Sight of the girl trembling changes everything, strips Clarissa of the reason that she'd traveled to the cabin. Forget creativity, relaxation and crafting another hit romantic or mystery bestseller. Clarissa’s forced to deal with real hard issues now. She and the girl enter a world of danger, mystery and chase.

They are intent on escaping. But will they? Stakes are high. There's no time for a single mistake. It's impossible for them to turn back. They are not alone. They are being stalked, hunted. On top of that, more girls show up. Does Clarissa have what it takes to save the girls or will she get trapped?

The Hitwoman

 


THE HITWOMAN: A NOVELLA


**A Vigilante Short Story**

The first rule of being a hitwoman: blend in. 
The second rule: is never tell anyone.
The third rule: is never leave any witnesses.

When an innocent woman gets caught up for her crimes, Aries Kane can’t sit idly by…

Aries knows there’s no justice in a corrupt system. So, her only option is to avenge those who can no longer speak for themselves. What else can she do when evil would otherwise get away with crimes? If there’s no one to stand up for those wronged, where’s their justice? She’s their justice.

Aries is determined to be the face for the faceless, the voice for the voiceless, and the vengeance for those wronged.

By punishing the evil people who’d otherwise get away with murder or any number of other dirty deeds, she can almost sleep at night. Almost. Because she’s a criminal too. And it’s only a matter of time before her crimes—and the law—catch up to her or maybe not.

The Rift

 


The Rift:

A Bolingbrook Babbler Story

(The Bolingbrook Babbler Stories Book 2)


What if everything you believed was a lie?

Tom Larsen grew up believing in stories from the Bolingbrook Babbler newspaper: of UFOs, half-human weredeer, and of vampire gangs that roamed the streets at night. Then one day his parents told him the truth—the stories were all a lie.

Fresh out of college, Tom built a reputation as a blogger of the scientific skepticism movement, debunking the reports of paranormal events in his hometown. However, after famous podcast host, Jamie Kyle, posted a video about how Tom's attempts to "hook up" with her at a skeptic's conference made her feel uncomfortable, the blogger was furious.

Now, in his mid-twenties and still angry about his humiliation, Tom has made a career from defending the skeptical movement against "modern feminists", including Humanist Heart, a group of social justice skeptics. And, when he hears that his hometown of Bolingbrook will host Humanist Heart's congress, and Jamie will be their guest, Tom hatches a plan to confront the podcaster.

The only problem is that he must work for the Bolingbrook Babbler to gain access to the congress, and risk ruining his skeptic reputation. But an attack by a weredeer while working on his first assignment for the Babbler leaves Tom's beliefs in pieces. The monsters, the UFOs, everything he tried to debunk—are all real!

Now, there are angry Men's Rights Activists trying to disrupt the congress, weredeer have surrounded the area, and mysterious time rifts appearing throughout the village. Only Jamie and the Babbler can help Tom fix this, but will he be able to get past his anger and distrust before reaching the point of no return?

If you like the X-Files and Stranger Things and the dry humor of Fargo, you will love The Rift.
