LOVE AND WAR: ANGELS AND DEMONS: BROKEN HEARTS AND BATTLE TANKS This is an heroic American tale of love and war: the love of a father for two sons, a woman for two brothers, and a nation for two freedoms; and the Second Civil War that nearly destroyed them all. Its spellbinding narrative skillfully weaves together the colossal forces of good versus evil, patriotism versus treason, and peacemakers versus demagogues. The story draws upon the Book of Revelation and all who read it will find themselves pondering the presence of angels and demons in their own lives. It is the perfect story for our troubled times.

My second collection of short stories, but longer than the works in my Read my Shorts collection. This volume consists of anything more than 1000 words and includes new works, re-writes of a few older pieces and anything else I found on my computer that I'd forgotten to post before. It will contain steampunk, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, sci-fantasy, horror, paranormal, general oddity and anything else that happens to fall out of my ears as ideas formulate into stories. Enjoy. Comments and constructive feedback always welcomed.

******************** ⚠️🔞 This book is a series of SHORT stories. Each chapter is different, different characters, and different scenarios. I think diversity/inclusivity is key so, I have included all kinds of communities which can be found in the description/trigger warnings in the beginning of the story. 18 short stories ✨ Fair warning though none of these scenarios will happen in real life. Men are actually garbage in real life so, if you get high standards from reading my book, I warned you I don't know what to tell you. Not going to lie, these stories are mainly tailored to me, I dream about it and write it down so I can remember and re-read the spicy concoction my mind makes up. If y'all like it, I love it. Thanks for reading!

What will you choose when someone asks you what type of world you want? What will you do if the people you once protected turned against you? What will you do if you get to know the world you once lived in It isn't like what you and others say? A stunning story of a man alone against the whole world, full of conspiracy theories, action, adventure and truth. A gamble that changed the world. When the city is drenched with blood and screams of horror they ask me what I truly wanted if it was the bloodlust or destruction or screams of terror? I said No, But rather to kneel and live in Heaven I will choose to stand up and die in Hell instead. As for your choice I don't care since I'm going to die anyway.

I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.

A young teenage girl, haunted by the memories of her father's execution, attempts to escape a cruel regime by night. A solitary woman, abandoned by her husband, inadvertently plays into the cruel hands of 'the state'. In another totalitarian regime a traffic light fixer is dealt with brutally for admiring a sunset. All these characters capture the essence of what it's like to be disempowered and cruelly dehumanised at the hands of a heinous, corrupt power. This sharp collection of pertinent short stories throws an at times uncomfortable light on cruelty, injustice and persecution that is all too relevant today. But ultimately these stories celebrate the strength and determination to survive at all costs, that exists within all of us.

SYNOPSIS: A boy at a crossroads in his life must find what he'll become, lest he stay unbecoming. When he stumbles upon something that reveals more about him, his family's past, and more, will he choose to go further into the unknown, or stay in the safe mundanity of his familiar prison where all his familiar faces live in bliss? Real life struggles, character driven, forces beyond our control... Thriller, Romance, Humor, and Cosmic Horror - all in one. I hope that you enjoy my book's free prologue and first episode! ABOUT THE BOOK: I'll be finishing the book's first volume (which is what you're currently reading) and releasing it through a publisher some time in the future! Until then, I hope that you enjoy the free prologue and first episode! This project's been a long time in the making! My first true book. If you enjoy existentialism/metaphysics, true romance (and what it means to love), terror, cosmic horror, and action with some humor, this story is for you!
