Don’t do the crime unless you wanna do the time!
David likes to think he’s a funny guy. He’s good at making people laugh and who doesn’t love a good prank? Turns out a lot of people, especially Chief Grandtooth, the one person Khazak can’t protect him from. As punishment, David is assigned service duty—”taking care” of the entire ranger station.
Of course, it was Nylan who put him up to the prank in the first place. He feels terrible; the only person it was supposed to target was Ragnar. So, in addition to dealing with his own punishment, he’s somehow going to have to make things up to David. And David is not going to make it easy for him.
This is a tale of pranks gone wrong, mending friendships, and lots of different kinds of punishment. Enjoy this short and steamy side-story in the Steel & Thunder universe featuring some of your favorite characters.
We are excited for the release of The “Other” Horsemen by Multiple Authors!
Behold, the four horsemen of the apocalypse and … the other guy.
The cataclysm is said to be heralded by a barrage of hoofbeats, each fearsome rider wielding a mighty weapon. The Horsemen are so ubiquitous that they have been depicted in art, film, television, video games, comic books, literature, and music.
But who didn’t make the cut? Surely, there were other Horsemen that auditioned but missed the mark. Perhaps their horse was just a pony, or they just liked humanity too much to allow the End Times. Maybe their audition ended in tears because the Four Horsemen were too mean, or they simply just couldn’t figure out where on Earth they even were. It could be that they kept encroaching on the Horsemen’s territories, and why would they allow someone who keeps stepping on the others’ toes? The “Other” Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a collection of stories by authors from around the world answering your burning questions.
This anthology includes (in order of appearance): “His Strength Waxes Mighty” by Stephen Clements, “A Slight Misunderstanding” by Michael Rice, “Corrupts Absolutely” by Jay Mendell, “A Fowl Day” by Bevanny Stearman, and “Rebirth” by Kay Hanifen.
Let the Apocalypse begin…

Rion Matthews—AKA Ryan D. Ryder—flew across the country to be with the man he fell in love in London last summer. And Nicholas Highton—AKA #MrDeepStrokez—is ecstatic to have Rion in his city, his life, and his bed every night. The two lovers try to keep it just between them since Nick’s sex tape went viral. With over twenty million social media followers and paparazzi dogging his every move, Rion wants to be sure that their steamy connection had the foundation to go the distance before they became a hashtag.
After Rion is accidentally introduced to Nick’s siblings, he is pulled into the world of the One Percent, where money, sex, and power is at their fingertips. Meanwhile, traumatic events force Rion back to California, leading Nick into the dark and dangerous world that Rion was raised in.
Will their connection grow stronger as they walk through each other’s worlds, or will the journey create doubts about their relationship’s longevity?
It is their job to protect the mortal realm, but are secrets the only way they can protect each other?
Lin Thorene, a beautiful Norse goddess turned private detective, embarks on a new case to locate a missing girl in London. But the fantastical always has a way of finding her. During her investigation, she meets Agna, the goddess Freya’s witch and former protector of King Tutankhamun.

One of the world’s most infamous macabre stories reimagined as queer erotica.

“Erotically wicked! Spellbinding! A unique trans-inclusive retelling of ‘The Fall of the House of Usher.’”
“A wildly inventive labyrinth of dark extravagance with gay otter men and romance at the story’s heart.”
At the edge of a sleepy seaside town stands a mansion nearly as tall as the rumors about its mysterious owner. The house beckons to an out of work sex worker named Alexander who soon finds himself in a whirlwind of strange decadence.
But this sudden luxury comes at a price. Rules must be followed. Secrets kept. There is an order to the seemingly enchanted building that must be appeased.
Hustler turned live-in pet, Alexander must navigate his way through bizarre rituals and BDSM training while he battles his frozen heart. Has he fallen in love with the stoic but forceful man who now rules over him or will a handsome friend from Alexander’s past be the key to unlocking the secrets of Usher’s bizarre world?

Desperate for answers, Maxan is drawn into an eternal war between The Monitors and The Mind, both vying for control of the powerful artifacts hidden deep below and far above their world. While The Minders want only to keep the artifacts safe and dormant, the cult of The Mind wants to use them to take over the world.
Immune to the weapon that he now holds, Maxan must uncover the secrets of his world and find a better path for all animalkind. Will that path reveal him to be a puppet, a puppeteer, or perhaps something more?

Haven’t you ever wondered how your parents met?
Orlun and Rurig have been married for a long time. Things may have gotten a little less exciting after having three children together, but it’s their life, and they wouldn’t trade it for anything else. So when a civil war threatens to tear apart their home and has them both working with the city’s militia, they’re not exactly happy about it.
Jarek is a new recruit. Young and maybe a little naïve, he’s a lover, not a fighter—but he’ll do what he has to if it means protecting the people he cares about. Which might include Orlun and Rurig. There’s something brewing between the three of them, but is it strong enough to survive when tragedy strikes?

Set in the times and places of magic, these fantastic tales contain dragons, fairies, trolls, and warriors. Kings and queens rule, while knights do whatever they can to protect their kingdom and its people. Sacrifices are made and deals are struck. There might even be a demon or two. Revenge will be sought, but it may not always come to fruition.

Dreams don’t always come true for the heroes of our tales, but maybe they were never the good guys to begin with. Let your imagination run wild with these eleven short stories of magic and mayhem from authors around the world.
A warning before you enter: be careful of the killer bunny on the loose…
There is a price to magic, even if bottled for consumption.
Magic has exploded back into the world, bringing with it creatures of myth and legend. After the initial shock, corporations found a way to turn magic into profit. The occult “gold rush” at the forefront of magically imbued politics built a world of wealth inequality, greed, and innovation.
Bartender Jane Auburn is an early adopter of a new drug sponsored by Pelican Pharmaceuticals that allows her to move at the speed of vampires and match the strength of demons. How bad could the side effects possibly be? After all, as it says in all their commercials, “Elcoll: it keeps you going even when you’re dead!”
Jane finds herself embroiled in occult corporate warfare, and to save her own life, she will need to uncover what other skeletons these new magical companies are hiding.
In the epic battle of Good versus Evil, there can be only one victor.
To free herself from her relentless nightmares, Aestra, the fallen angel, makes a deal with the devil. But Lucifer’s deals have dire consequences; robbed of the knowledge of what cast her out of heaven, Aestra cannot escape Lucifer’s domain. The only way out is through.
With no one left to turn to, Aestrangel reunites with her former adversary, Malek, to complete another Calling that would solidify her position in the devil’s domain. But when her power—and her feelings for Malek—intensify, this mission could end up altering the balance between Heaven, Hell, and the human world forever.
One parent is a superhero. One parent is a supervillain. Aqua Marine is a work in progress.
Despite Aqua Marine’s super lineage, the wannabe superhero can only control a cup of water at a time—which is not very effective as far as superpowers go. She has no chance at stopping the new nefarious villain, the Overlord of the Dance, from taking over part of the city. That is until she accidentally discovers there is a cup of water in the human heart when she blows his out.
Now her villainous mother wants her to join the League of Extraordinary Evil. Aqua Marine would like to hide under a rock. And her new nemesis, the Overlord of the Dance, is apparently not quite dead yet and would like to have a word with her.
If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, Aqua Marine’s is a slip and slide … with capes.
“You cannot command a demon unless you have struck a deal with it, and we have not yet struck such a deal.”
Elaine was meant to be the light for her people—the last of the Scions of Isa. But her goddess died long ago, and she is hunted for the inherent magic in her silver blood. After being condemned as a human sacrifice by Lord Dakin, a demon makes her a tempting counteroffer. If Elaine frees him from his prison, he will be hers to command.
Demonlord Acies wants revenge just as much as he wants to escape from his prison cell. Elaine could be the key, and she’s a pretty one. But Acies’ past haunts his present and the consequences of the war he once fought between gods and demons is never too far away.
Wielding the power of demons can mean the difference between salvation and damnation … for both of them.

What’s that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about?
“Peak oil” is the phrase used to describe the point where the world’s oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It’s the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it’s all downhill, production-wise.
Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that’s not quite right. The oil will not run out. Not ever. It will, over time, get increasingly rare and probably expensive (before it’s worthless), but there will always be at least a little bit of oil for us to use. Well, for someone to use. Probably not you and me, unless I sell a whole shipload of books. No pressure.
Work sucks … then you die!
We’ve all had a boss or coworker we swore was evil incarnate. The chime of our email inbox makes our blood run cold. Sometimes, the flickering fluorescent lights send unnerving tingles down our spine. Was Jim in accounting or a ghostly voice from the other side warning you that the coffee machine is out of order?
Luckily, you can read about these spooky encounters from the safety of your favorite chair rather than your haunted house of a cubicle. Use that sick day you’ve been holding onto and save your soul from eternal damnation with Demonic Workplace (Safer to Call in Sick).
