Homo intelligens—intelligent man—was now the master of the world. Danny was only a left-over, the last normal man in a world of supermen, hating the fact that he had been born, and that his mother had died at his birth to leave him only loneliness as his heritage.
When it comes to complicated families, werewolves lead the pack. After toeing the line around humans for most of my life, I thought mate-bonding with an alpha werewolf meant I'd finally found my place. But when a friend falls gravely ill and a magical bracelet latches onto my wrist, I'm thrust into a deadly game I never agreed to play. The bracelet holds the power to heal, but unlocking that magic means surviving a series of grueling tests laid out by two father figures. One is the adopted parent who taught me that all werewolves are evil. The other is my estranged grandfather, who serves a ruthless alpha from a rival pack. Both want something from me. Neither can be trusted. With my friend’s life hanging in the balance and my fragile position in my mate’s pack at risk, can I confront the shadows of my past in time to protect the future I’ve fought so hard to create? Packbound is the third book in the slow-burn urban fantasy Rune Wolf series, brimming with fated mates, found family, and ancient desert magic.Show book
"The Cove: Walking the Plank" A Pirate Sci-Fi Adventure Rooted in Blackbeard's Legacy In the year 2024, at Christopher Newport University in Virginia, a state steeped in colonial history and maritime lore, renowned history professor Dr. Otto Leroy Maynard uncovers a hidden connection that could change everything we know about the past—and the future. His discovery? A mysterious link between his own family lineage and the legendary pirate Edward Teach, more infamously known as Blackbeard. Set against the backdrop of Virginia's historic coastline, where the slogan "Virginia is for Lovers" belies tales of shipwrecks, buried treasure, and supernatural whispers, this story dives into the murky depths of both history and speculative science fiction. Otto’s obsession with Blackbeard’s reign of terror (1716–1718)—a time when the pirate king seized up to 40 ships—leads him down a time-warped rabbit hole where past and present collide. At the heart of this pirate sci-fi saga lies "The Cove"—not just a place, but a portal. What is a cove? In pirate mythology and nautical history, a cove is a secluded, natural harbor often hidden behind towering cliffs. These secret inlets served as pirate hideouts—fortresses where stolen treasure was buried, ships were repaired, and fugitives from the British Navy could vanish without a trace.Show book
