About Tarot Sour:

“Chiefly among his tenets is the proclamation that the universe, and to a smaller extent, the Earth itself, is the same as a living animal. And at the end of their lives, in the midst of their death throes, such animals will writhe and convulse, wildly, savagely, with the hopes of staving off death for just a bit longer. And, like an injured animal, this convulsing will lead to unpredictable behaviors. Time will begin to overlap with itself. Individuals and objects might exist as simultaneous duplicates of themselves at different ages. They might disappear altogether for a time before reappearing someplace else, if at all, and might appear as incomplete, fragmented partials of what they should be.”

This is not a story of the end of the world, but rather a story of six individuals in a dying shanty town for whom the world may as well already be over. When Elizabeth Hesse’s husband and children go missing, a chain of events is set in motion that will lead the inhabitants of this town to consider the mistakes of their pasts and the destinies – relevant or not – their futures hold. An immortal woman who has lost all her reasons to live; a mother whose attempts to remain dutiful to her family chases her son into conscription for a confabulated war; a time-ravaged preacher whose last hope is that his greatest sins will become the source of the world’s salvation; a fierce government industrialist who relies on the roll of a die to decide his every move; a cursed stranger who comes to town to reverse the orbit of the world and set things right again. Tarot Sour is a circular tale that revolves around itself in voice, in time, in place, and which will end itself exactly where it began.

THE HARBINGER OF DOOM SAGA

The Harbinger of Doom saga centers around one Lord Angle Theta, an enigmatic warrior of unknown origins and mystical power. No mortal man is his match in battle. No sorcery can contain or confound him. No scholar or sage can outwit him. But for all his skills, he is but one of us; a man, a human, who shares our faults, our dreams, and our ambitions. He boldly strides across the land, fearless, peerless, and cloaked in mystery; all his will bent on righting such wrongs as he deems fit.

Until the day the Gateway opened and turned the world on its head. On that fateful day, Korrgonn came and washed away our dreams. And his outre' realms of chaos set their unholy mark upon our world and claimed it for their own.

Only Theta and his companions see the enemies aligning against us. Only they foresee our end coming -- the end of civilization, the end of the world of man. Only they can hope to turn the tide of madness and preserve all that we hold dear.

But no man, not even our greatest hero, can stand against the Lords of Chaos and the dark armies of Nifleheim at their command. Fiends that infiltrate unseen within our ranks, that tear down our temples and our traditions; that devour us from within, unseen, unknown, unheralded, and unopposed until the hour grows far too late.

Through the murk and mist that hangs before our eyes, one man only sees true. One man pierces the veil of magic that blinds us all and marks the world as it truly is, revealing secrets, secrets of Angle Theta, so horrifying as to shatter a man's mind and call into question the very nature of good and evil.
Join us now on our journey back to the days of high adventure.

Jonah is thrown into a race against the clock to stop a plot designed to eliminate two-thirds of the population. The odds are stacked against him. He soon finds his past is not what he thought it was, those closest to him cannot be trusted, and what he's learned could get him, or worse, his loved ones, killed.

On 15 March 2110, 6.3 billion people will die at the hand of one man.

A man with a twisted vision, to make humans a better, more intelligent race.

Oliver Roberts, author of The Partner-Parent Principle, recently sat down with the South China Morning Post.

Susan Schwartz begins: "Often the most challenging part of becoming a parent can be what other parents don't, or won't, tell you. Oliver Roberts, co-author of newly released e-book The Partner-Parent Principle, says parents talk at mind-numbing length about the gains a child has brought to their lives."

Check out the entire article here.

About The Partner-Parent Principle:

The Partner-Parent Principle is filled with practical and positive relationship advice for parents, to help couples enjoy the great bits of parenthood, brace for the bad and hopefully get through it all with their relationships (and senses of humor) still intact.

The book is based on detailed research and extensive interviews, and gives a unique insight into both the female and male points of view. As once-equal couples often find themselves living very different lives to each other when kids come along, it is essential that they understand more about what each other is going through if they’re to avoid the all-too-common curse of resentment. It means Dads will want Mums to read it just as much as Mums will want Dads.

The book is crammed with quotes from men and women at the frontline of parenting young kids: many funny, many sad, and many that will strike a clear chord with other parents, giving much-needed reassurance that they’re not alone.

The book looks at ways couples can better prepare themselves for the onslaught of parenting, understand each other better and find ways to share the good and bad bits, find help from family, friends and support networks, find time away from the kids so they’ve got more energy when they’re with them, cope with the extra pressures that come from having tough kids or suffering depression and even improve their sex lives.

There is also some expert advice – and warning – about what really happens if parents do part. One in five couples now split by the time their children are 5 years old and often damage their kids in the process.

In short, this book is timely – and necessary – for every couple working towards a healthy relationship with their children and each other.

About Dancing Away:

Aged Henry Lassiter knows well the temporal nature of life because his has ended.

In that moment between life and death, a time when the mind struggles to maintain contact with the physical world as forces from the spiritual realm tug, Henry sees clearly the reason for the overwhelming desire to reach back through the veil - to hold onto the world he's known for seventy-six years-Josephine; his sweet Jojo.

In seemingly the blink of an eye, Henry and Jojo play together as children in the old neighborhood, move beyond the years of prepubescent games to teenage courtship and then to the stormy years of young marriage.

As the arc of life tilts to the downhill side, problems of a different sort test them. It's in these times that the rhythm of life leads to the ultimate dance - of love.

A short story from our Candlelight line.

Vicky Robson of British newspaper The Journal penned a wonderful feature on Oliver Roberts and his new book, The Partner-Parent Principle. From the article:

According to author Oliver Roberts, couples really need to give themselves a break, if they are to overcome and survive the “onslaught” of parenthood together.

“Parenthood’s immediate and overwhelming relentlessness often comes as a huge shock to couples,” says Oliver, a communications consultant and public policy strategist. His new book, The Partner-Parent Principle, aims to serve as a guide for couples working towards a healthy relationship with their children and each other."
