Self-promo 2023 (ep. 26): Dan Williams

A reckless murder changes the world forever. An angry ghost is trapped in a crystal prison and an unlucky few are doomed to an eternal torment of maddening shared 
memories.

Now it’s 2096, twelve thousand years later and there’s no magic and no ghosts; everyone knows! There are only little people forever scrambling to stay out of the way of big tech. Everyone knows humanity is beleaguered by drought, flooding and poverty. Everyone sees that society is shot through with corporate corruption. But no one has time to care.

Yet as Nate, Chen and Tina struggle to get by from day to day and pay to pay, hidden deep under the earth, the ancient ghost rages on in the Stone, and the chains of power that bind it weaken and begin to fray. Strange earthquakes gather force off the coast of Akarana Island and when an old house is demolished, something unbreakable is broken and everyone in the world will be drawn into the legacy of the curse of the ghost in the Stone whether they believe in such nonsense or not.

This book is an industrial grade magical realism, with an urban fantasy setting. Hard science fiction is seamlessly blended in a mature epic story with great golden characters in a plot that, for once, is NOT set in the northern hemisphere.

Dan Williams grew up in New Zealand before moving to the United Kingdom where he lived for over two decades, until moving to China months before the COVID 19 outbreak. Just as he planned! (Well, not really…). After a while, he moved back to the UK. Before Google was invented, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and well after punch-cards weren’t a thing anymore, Dan qualified and worked in information technology and, later, psychotherapy, which is like debugging people’s brains. Now he’s learning Mandarin and writing books. A lifelong avid reader of psychology, science fiction and fantasy, Dan looks forward to contributing many more of his works to the world’s store of fascinating and entertaining tomes in these genres.

Self-promo 2023 (ep. 24): MK Schultz

Five fishermen — Max, Sherman, Calvin, Will and John — set out on their thirteenth annual fishing trip together with no idea that their lives are about to be altered forever. Though each of them has his difficulties, they all look forward to camping together and are ready to have a fantastic time.

This year, however, something strange happens during their trip. On one of the islands close to where they choose to camp, they find an altar that holds a map and GPS coordinates. That discovery sets off a chain of events bringing them to the attention of an evil cult, whose members want to use the five men for their own purposes. After the trip, a strange new fate visits them one by one. Only with the help of a mysterious time traveller—Kassius Kanex—will the men be able to overcome trials of great suffering and despair and ultimately meet their destiny.

This is book two of a trilogy. It feels like a stand alone book with all new characters, but then the link to the first is made. The sci-fi and horror in this book make it a thrilling ride, especially once the reader learns that the story is a prequel to the first.

WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?

Kassius Kanex loves his home and family but hates his job and wants to quit. A chance meeting with strange men looking for directions inspires a change in Kass. He is led down a new path that not only rescues him from his perceived career imprisonment, but also leads to the fulfillment of his destiny.
When his family becomes endangered by his new life, Kass’s full identity is revealed. His truth previously existed dormant inside of him, but Kass is now awakened. Following a visit to three doors of mystery, his true essence is discovered and a choice is made.
Danger and suspense build as more truths come to light, and Kass wonders if things will turn out better or worse. He still hides one secret, though, and its admission will change everything.

WHY SHOULD WE READ IT?

This is book one of a trilogy. It starts as a simple and ordinary story about a seemingly simple man but then turns to sci-fi and a wild ride. The ordinary parts of the book near the beginning formed a mechanism of recovery for the author as he discovered his true identity along with the main character in the book. This makes the book highly underrated for what it accomplishes.

That same year I also took other courses focused on creative writing and the profession of writing, as well as marketing, I attended the Barcelona School of Writers where I studied spelling and style proofreading. I am now studying Screenwriting (Film and TV).
I then combined my literary studies with studies of the English language. So far I wrote five novels, including The Enigma of the Lost Labyrinth (English Edition). The Enigmas Trilogy in Spanish Edition is gripping thousands of readers.

WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT?

This delightful sci-fi thriller unfolds from the perspectives of Selene, Joseph and Corey. Selene is a young lady about to embark on her college education journey, Joseph is chasing the next role to make sure his name is forever remembered and Corey is intent on having an impeccable career with the U.S. Navy. It’s a tight, well written, and fast paced, action oriented science fiction from the perspective of three characters whose lives are bound by shared dreams. Add to this mix a bunch of scientists with wild claims that if the trio don’t co-operate multiple universes will be on a collision course with each other. Can three strangers trust each other or will the truth sow the seeds of mistrust? Do the people who hold the answers have their best interests in mind?

WHY SHOULD WE READ IT?

My novel explores the sci-fi genre in a character-centric storyline. Many sci-fi novels focus on the new tech or how futuristic mechanics shape society, yet hardly delve into the ramifications of what it does to an individual. It’s a multi-POV story with three diverse main characters, a mystery, and the science so well researched bordering on eerily believable.

WHY SHOULD WE READ IT?

In writing Echoes of Navarre I have attempted to emulate the books I most enjoy reading. I am a big fan of Ian Fleming and the Bond books and I am sure there are some parallels in the use of characters and locations in the narrative. I have maintained that Echoes’ is a spy thriller in the pulp fiction genre and, as it may not be for everyone, I am sure there is an audience, such as myself, who enjoys this type of escapism filled with action, excitement and peril.
