No Stress Space Express

Buckle up, it’s gonna be a smooth ride.Howdy, friend. I’m Rusty, and so is my big-rig’s engine. When the old girl finally gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere, I wasn’t expecting to get a tow from an alien mothership. But the next thing I knew, me and my buddy Mike were halfway across the galaxy in an oversized hubcap full of the weirdest space creatures you ever did see.Turns out aliens are mighty friendly folks, but they can’t fix their tech to save their lives. Didn’t take long for us to put our know-how to good use, fix a bunch of gizmos, and make a load of friends, but I was still eagerly countin’ the days ’til they’d drop us back in sweet home Alabama. That is until I met Piper Skyflare—a pretty little green-skinned lieutenant in the Martian Sky Force, with knockout curves and a right hook to match.With Piper to hold my hand and Mike to hold my beer, I’m making the most of this cosmic road trip. It’s a wild ride, but one thing’s for sure—a sense of humor and a roll of duct tape can get you through darn near anything. That and coffee. Lots of coffee.No Stress Space Express is a story about finding your true family, told with the common-sense wisdom of Jerry Boyd’s Bob and Nikki series (Bob’s Saucer Repair), and the low-stakes world building of Travis Baldree’s Legends & Lattes. Join Rusty and his crew for a heart-warming, laugh-out-loud adventure with no tension, and no drama. Just good clean fun, great friendships, and a little romance too.

Of Blood Descended

Beautifully written … a unique tale told in a unique voice’ – S.G. Maclean Summer, 1522. In a wave of pomp, Henry VIII’s court welcomes the Imperial emperor, Charles V. Anthony Blanke, the son of the king’s late ‘black trumpet’, John Blanke, is called to Hampton Court by his former employer, Cardinal Wolsey. The cardinal is preparing a gift for King Henry: a masque of King Arthur and the Black Knight. Anthony is to take centre stage. The festive mood, however, quickly sours. Wolsey’s historian, charged with proving the king’s descent from King Arthur, is found murdered, his body posed in a gruesome tableau. A reluctant Anthony is charged with investigating the affair. His mission takes him on the path trod by the historian, through ancient monastic libraries and the back streets of London. On a journey that takes him from Hampton Court to Windsor and Winchester, and which sees him lock horns with secretive monks, historian Polydore Vergil, and a new face at court, Anne Boleyn, he must discover the murderer, secure the great masque, and avoid King Henry’s wrath.
