Summary

A wizard turned private security agent takes on crime in Cleveland in the conclusion to The Monsters and Men urban fantasy trilogy. 
 
Unexpected crucibles, gut-wrenching loss, and time in prison . . . The last few years have not been kind to Janzen Robinson. His tenure as the unelected Champion of Cleveland was rough, but it’s hard not to catch glimpses of hope as tides of change have rippled throughout the city. Now out of prison, the Artificer is surprised to see just how much his mission and influence have taken root. Full Circle Protection grew from being an operation run out of a beatdown truck to needing a fully functional office. Their ragtag crew of castaways are only a uniform away from seeming professional. And all that ugly that went bump in the night? It began to see that there are no easy meals in the land of Clev. This newfound order is put to the test, though, as a new kind of enemy emerges, launching an attack that isn’t motivated by old vendettas or orchestrated by some secret manipulator. This is an assault that threatens to blur the lines between this world and the sleepy mask it wears, and to take not only their lives but the world Balance with it.  
 
The Monsters And Men Trilogy by Lawrence Davis is fast-paced, heart-pounding urban fantasy at its best and no one will see this twist coming. 
 
Praise for Blunt Force Magic, book one of the Monsters and Men trilogy;

    Jane's nightmares are back—and this time, they've unleashed a brutal killer.  
Jane Walker's nightmares aren't imaginary—they're glimpses into the traumatic past; and the past can be dangerous, especially now that Jane's protective birthmarks are gone.  
Worse, she's no longer invisible within her dreams—and learns this the hard way while using her power to incriminate a ruthless killer. Inadvertently revealing her ghost form, she launches him on a relentless hunt to track her down. 
Even more disturbing, Jane knows this man. She once tried to use her power to save him from injury, but instead set him on a path of violent crime. Now, he's targeted the man she loves, and Jane must keep one step ahead of this cold-blooded assassin before he gets rid of Ethan permanently. 
Jane has one last chance to fix the mistake that altered this man's history, but that means taking her most dangerous dream journey yet—one from which she might never awaken. 
Ghost Mark is the second installment of the Dark Dreams Series by JP McLean, an author whose writing the Ottawa Review of Books calls "relentless and original."

    Where Their Fire is Not Quenched...

    Mary Amelia St. Clair was born on the 24th August 1863 in Rock Ferry, Cheshire.  
 
Her father was a Liverpool shipowner who, after being made bankrupt, became an alcoholic and died whilst May was still a child.  The family then moved to Ilford, just outside London and, after a solitary year of education, May was required to stay home and help look after her older brothers, four of whom were suffering from fatal congenital heart disease. 
 
Despite this difficult start May was determined to pursue a literary career. From 1896 May wrote professionally to support herself and her mother.  By the turn of the century she was producing not only poetry volumes but short stories, novels and some non-fiction.  She was an active feminist and supporter of the Suffrage Movement, her literary talents help to shred ideas that the suffragists were driven by sexual frustration because of the shortage of men.  
 
Her 1913 novel ‘The Combined Maze’, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by many, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time. 
 
In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps on the Western Front in Flanders.  Although her time there was short-lived the experience was later reflected in both prose and poetry. 
 
She published several poetry volumes as well as writing early criticism on Imagism and several poets of the movement.  Her novels were now also influenced by modernist techniques and her supernatural short stories are increasingly seen as valuable additions to the genre.  
 
From the late 1920s, she suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and her writing career was effectively over. 
 
May Sinclair died on the 14th November 1946.  She was 83 and buried at St John-at-Hampstead's churchyard, London.

    A high-profile contract in the famed New Orleans Garden District can bring architect Kathleen McCormick’s dream of owning her own home that much closer, but she’ll have to stifle her fiery temper while she’s on location. The senior project manager is a notorious workaholic and the last associate to work with him got fired amid controversy. Still, Kathleen can’t resist the urge to push his buttons. 
Sebastian Brooks’ father likes to remind him that he founded his own firm by the time he was thirty. As Sebastian nears that same milestone, he's checking off the boxes for promotion at a more prestigious architectural firm, including contemplating an engagement with an acceptable socialite. The pursuit feels hollow, especially when his boss lobs an attractive, unpredictable new associate into his path to derail his promotion, a woman who reminds him of all the compromises he’s made in the interest of living up to expectations. 
A mischievous ghost in a NOLA hotel decides to play matchmaker, but with a strict non-fraternization policy at work, getting involved could get both Kathleen and Sebastian fired. Caught up in the city’s steamy atmosphere, their unexpected connection throws all their plans into a tailspin.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this volume our safe and known world becomes intertwined with that of dark and often malevolent forces from the other side to produce stories that shape themselves into narratives that will betray us in a sentence.
