    Children of the Sun is the first installment of its self-titled trilogy. This recording is the first portion of the book, and more episodic installments will follow in the near future.  
    In a reimagined precolonial Africa, a powerful king's nephew comes home to find his nation on the brink of war. Unsure of his own next move, he joins his royal warrior cousins on their westward march to stop an invasion. Though he has no plans to fight, other problems find him on the road, pushing him toward an instability of his own. Back in the kingdom, a more distant relative is called upon to keep the peace in a land missing most of its strength. As the overt invasion looms above, she leads the king's defense against an enemy they cannot see, gathering strength right there at home. 
    All the while, old wounds inside the family and out are brought to the surface, threatening to unravel all the players involved. The demons of the past converge with the troubles of the present, giving way to an uncertain future for them all.

    It is possible to be blinded by the light of another human being. Especially one you love. The seemingly happiest people are often hiding the darkest secrets. Smiling through pain many of us could not even fathom, let alone survive. All the while continuing to bring joy to the people around them, blissfully oblivious to the suffering of their loved one. 
    "The ignorant often argue, that if two people really were so connected, in any form of love, they would have noticed something was not right. 
    Well, I will tell you this much… While that is often not the case, a day hasn’t gone by that I haven’t tormented myself with those same gut-wrenching thoughts.” - Ryder 
    Joy Ride is a short story that takes place within the same world as the Saviors MC Series. It is a dark tale about friendship and revenge.

    Complex, fascinating, and fun … Kill All the Judges is a classic crime work, from an author heralded as one of Canada’s best, and with good reason.” — Shelf Life
    		 
    Finalist for the Stephen Leacock Humour Prize
    		 
    Is someone systematically killing the judges called to the British Columbian bar? At least one has been murdered and several have disappeared. Arthur Beauchamp returns from retirement once again to take on the case, this time defending his former nemesis, backwoods poet Cudworth Brown. He finds himself chasing all kinds of leads, including tracking down a mystery novel that Brown’s unreliable former lawyer has been writing, just as Beauchamp’s own wife, Margaret, has announced her candidacy for the Green Party.
    		 
    Complex, madcap, and peopled with some of the most delightfully eccentric characters to be found between two covers, Kill All the Judges proves William Deverell’s mastery of the hilariously comedic crime novel.

    Rook Campbell yearns for a family and stability. With her recent divorce, her dad sitting behind bars for her mom's murder, and her grandma dying of cancer, she can hardly remember what a whole family feels like anymore. 
     
     
     
    However, new details about her mom's case have emerged, giving Rook a reason to hope. She might finally discover who really killed her mom and win her dad's freedom. 
     
     
     
    But a murder at a bourbon release party threatens to derail the investigation. Eerie parallels between both crimes throw Rook into the crosshairs, and she wonders if she's surrounded by killers. 
     
     
     
    In her attempts to uncover the truth, Rook places more than one relationship—and all her dreams—in peril. She can't give up, even if it costs her everything.
