Book Description

The monster within him is waking quickly, threatening to overtake him. And the monster only knows destruction. Global destruction. Steven Crow's safe reality has been obliterated. He is surrounded by fantasy creatures from other worlds. Secret agents are lusting after his capabilities. And he is supposed to be some sort of demon everyone is terrified of. His bucolic childhood has come to an abrupt end. Despite the abundance of radical changes, it is what is happening within that is giving him pause. A growing darkness that is extending its tendrils into every part of his being. A death of himself giving birth to something dark and catastrophic. Once again, Steven Crow finds himself on the run. Not from psychotic secret agents who persist in tormenting him. Nor from the fantasy creatures who are again trying to terminate him. Not even from a twisted goddess who seems completely infatuated with him. Time is running out for everyone. And he is the threat. How does one outrun an enemy who resides within?

Book Description

Previously published; newly revised by author I like my women like I like my whiskey: liable to kill me. The two parts of being a paranormal private investigator I could really do without are being forced to eat bananas by an animated statue with a potassium fixation, and being put on trial for murder by a self-appointed council of vampire oligarchs. To be fair, I did kind of do it (the murder, not the bananas). But I was kind of saving my girlfriend, who is kind of one of them. On top of this, I’ve also wound up with a primordial queen of the damned trying to strangle me in my dreams. And the conspiracy of undead wizards who tried to sacrifice me fifteen years ago has decided that now is the best possible time to give it another go. Throw in the woman who left me for a tech start-up, the old girlfriend who I might sort of owe eternal mystical fealty to and a werewolf “it girl” who can’t decide if she wants to eat me in the good way or the bad way, and I’m beginning to think life would be easier if I made better choices. Then again, it’d be a whole lot less fun. This book is approximately 98,000 words

Book Description

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
