Hell Can Wait Hell Can Wait 240 Pages $12.95 978-1-894063-23-4 5.5' x 8.5'   Hell Can Wait by Theodore Judson Release date: March 2010. Maternus, a brute of a Roman soldier who has spent the past eighteen centuries in hell, wants freedom. Upon reviewing his misplaced records, the bureaucracy that governs the universe has decided that Maternus deserves a second chance at redemption because the brutal soldier also was capable of offering friendship, of appreciating beauty, and even of loving a virtuous woman. A demon and an angel must take him back to earth, where human passions, virtues and failings have been downsized, and there Maternus, this lion of a man, must pass a series of tests before he can earn a place in paradise with a girl he saw only once but who is nonetheless the focus of his existence.   Evolve Evolve Pages $ 978-1-894063-33-3 5.5' x 8.5'   Evolve by Edited by Nancy Kilpatrick Release date: March 2010.

A. Cullum Release date: April 2010. Tamar is a world inhabited by nine humanoid races, plagued by racial and religious hatreds, and steadily moving towards an epic war. But war is not new to Cibata, the largest continent in the Southern Hemisphere, where only one human nation, Cassinga, survives when once there were three, and the Senangan Empire, ruled by the tiger folk, has vowed to see its destruction. Saranith Kamrasi, a member of Senanga’s royal family and an officer in its navy, is summoned by Cinkarion, one of eight living crystals. It brings her great power, but destroys her lifelong companion. Yet the Wizard Nathan, also born a Kamrasi but abandoned by his parents for lack of weresight, defends Cassinga despite his tiger blood. When the Wizard Elgan’s apprentice is taken by the Senangans, Nathan and Elgan must turn to Jerevan Rayne, the man who hadn't wanted to be a wizard, and enter the heart of Senanga to rescue her, with the ultimate fate of Cassinga at stake. Cinkarion is the second book of the Chronicles of the Karionin trilogy.   Avim's Oath: Part 6 of the Okal Rel Saga Avim's Oath Pages $ 978-1-894063-35-7 6' x 9'   Avim's Oath: Part 6 of the Okal Rel Saga by Lynda Williams Release date: April 2010. Love and titles are lost and won as brothers struggle to attain power, recognition, and acceptance in a world filled with treachery, hatred, and vengeful princesses. After a lifetime of getting knocked around by tougher Sevolites, Amel is looking forward to taking a back seat to his impressive younger brother, Erien, until a series of rejections catapult him onto center stage of the competition for love and power in the wake of their mother’s death. Amel is finding it hard to measure up as a Demish prince while besieged by demands from his Vrellish vassals to child-gift to them. Trapped in a tangle of torment, Erien must choose between starting an academy to resurrect respect for the sciences on his superstitious, emotional home world of Gelion, and Vretla's plans to get pregnant by a 17 year old man more Sevolite than herself. Thrust into the mix is fearsomely beautiful and alarmingly dangerous Alivda, daughter of Ayrium and Ameron, pressuring Amel to gain power while being touted as a 'loose canon' by her father. Will Amel be torn in two while trying to be a Demish prince and win over the love of his life? Will Erien choose between loving a lesser Sevolite or pursue his love of intellect? Find out in Avim's Oath
