Sinopse

In "Far-away Stories," William John Locke weaves a tapestry of imaginative tales that transport readers to distant lands and explore the complexities of human emotions and relationships. His deft narrative style blends lyrical prose with elements of fantasy and introspection, inviting readers to engage deeply with the characters' journeys. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century societal transformations, Locke's stories reflect an era grappling with change, yet still firmly rooted in the timeless themes of love, loss, and the longing for connection. William John Locke, a celebrated English novelist, was known for his keen insights into human nature and his fascination with the intersections of reality and imagination. His own life experiences, marked by travel and diverse encounters, significantly influenced his storytelling. Locke's works often draw upon his understanding of the intricate relationships between people, making him a compelling voice in the literature of his time, as he sought to capture the essence of the human experience amidst the backdrop of societal shifts. "Far-away Stories" is a must-read for those who appreciate literary fiction that not only entertains but also provokes thought about the human condition. Locke's enchanting narratives will captivate readers and inspire them to reflect upon their own journeys, offering a beautiful escape into the realms of imagination and feeling.

    Viv has been living alongside behindkind and fae in the Historic Renner Tea House in Melbourne for nearly a month now. In that time, she's been almost killed by friends and enemies alike, discovered that the human world is not the only world on the edges of her reality, and become a glorified babysitter for Luca, an unstable assassin of otherworldly creatures who has nightmares that are a bit too . . . real. She has uncovered mysteries and murderers—and discovered just a bit too much about herself into the bargain. 
     
    Now a small selkie has turned up on her windowsill, while a nightmare has begun stalking the floors of the Tea House, and Viv is certain the two things are connected. The selkie's human sponsor has disappeared, as has his pelt, and there's no help to be had from the selkies, who won't interfere with a traditional sojourn of one of their own on solid land. 
     
    Between her boss Jasper's dislike of doing anything he doesn't get paid for, and Luca's disinclination to do anything to help behindkind rather than humans, Viv is finding it hard to get to the bottom of the disappearance. But if she doesn't, the nightmare that has infiltrated the Tea House might burgeon into daylight reality, and the little selkie won't get his pelt back. And without his pelt, it's just a matter of time before Kyma crumbles away into dust . . .

    At 30 years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who struggles to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (when he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge. 
     On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain, which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player. 
    Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they're far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength, and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is predictably gaming. 
    Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life? 
     Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?

    When maintenance technician Triana Moore gets temporarily transferred to a passenger liner, she doesn't expect luxury and relaxation. Bot-minding is the same on a station or a ship.

Together with a retired Marine Corps dance instructor, a socially inept hospitality intern, and her favorite security agent, she must navigate more than just the solar system.

    When you’re a djinn, fixing all your problems can be as simple as snapping your fingers. This isn't one of those times. 
    We all have our crosses to bear. The demons of our past haunt the corners of our minds. More often than not, those demons stay locked away, never to see the light of day. Rosie is not so lucky. 
    Rosie has secrets so dark, that she fears what will happen when they come to light. The ritual that made her what she has become was derived from the purest sources of evil. It bound her to the darkest warlock ever known to man. For centuries, she has tried to outrun that bond, but she just lost the race. 
    With the threat of discovery looming over her and the ones she now considers family, all her carefully guarded secrets will come to light. With those hidden truths exposed, and the bond with darkness strengthening, Rosie may be the one to cause a second coming apocalypse.
