  This acclaimed fantasy classic of men, elves, and gods is at once breathtakingly exciting and heartbreakingly tragic. 
   
   
   
  Poul Anderson's novel The Broken Sword draws on similar Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon sources as The Fellowship of the Ring. In his greed for land and power, Orm the Strong slays the family of a Saxon witch—and for his sins, the Northman must pay with his newborn son. Stolen by elves and replaced by a changeling, Skafloc is raised to manhood unaware of his true heritage and treasured for his ability to handle the iron that the elven dare not touch. Meanwhile, the being who supplanted him as Orm's son grows up angry and embittered by the humanity he has been denied. A pawn in a witch's vengeance, the creature Valgard will never know love, and consumed by rage, he will commit a murderous act of unspeakable vileness. 
   
   
    
  It is their destiny to finally meet on the field of battle—the man-elf and his dark twin, the monster—when the long-simmering war between elves and trolls finally erupts with a devastating fury. And only the mighty sword Tyrfing, broken by Thor and presented to Skafloc in infancy, can turn the tide in a terrible clashing of faerie folk that will ultimately determine the fate of the old gods.

  Joshua could not help it that he was the smallest kid in high school. For Porkey and his buddies though this was unforgivable. They bugged him every chance they got. He was locked in his own locker several times. Once they even put him in upside down. They really loved to do flushies to him in the boys bathroom. They would hold him upside down with his head in the toilet water and flush it. It didn’t matter to them if there was stuff in the toilet or not. If there was? That made their cruelty all the more jovial. If they cornered him outside? You can imagine what they did or tried to do to him if they were not stopped by someone else. 
  As the story goes those bullies would have eventually killed him had not Mr. Fiddles intervened. You see, Joshua lived in an area of the United States where at certain times, time anomalies occurred. If a person got caught in one unaware of what was happening, they could end up being propelled forward or backward in time. Mr. Fiddles had figured out how to manipulate these anomalies. So when a newspaper from the future reported the death of his neighbor from bullying, he set things in motion to prevent it. 
  What will happen to Joshua and will he ever be able to confront those bullies and stop their cruelty before they murder him? Bullying is a real problem not only in the US but worldwide. Every kid that has ever been the recipient of cruel pranks like Joshua endured would love to turn the tables on their tormentors. Perhaps there is a way? This story will allow for a debate on cruel pranks and bullying. It is the author’s purpose in this story to bring awareness to this problem and possible solutions for readers of all ages.

  Lacey Adams lives in the small town of Magic, New Mexico where she devotes herself to the animals at her Touch of Magic Animal Shelter. The strange assortment of animals helps heal the pain and loneliness inside her since the death of her husband three years before. Frost is a Star Ranger. He travels the star systems bringing intergalactic fugitives to justice. When a maximum-security fugitive escapes from the mining prison, he is sent after him. Only this time, the fugitive has violated a major law... he has traveled to a distant forbidden planet inhabited by a race that has not mastered space travel yet. Now, he is in a race to find the fugitive before those on the planet known as Earth discover there are not one, but two aliens on their world. Things become complicated when Frost discovers his heart is not as frozen as he thought when a young human female is taken hostage by the fugitive. What he doesn’t anticipate is her unexpected resistance – both with the fugitive and with him. Frost is forced to make a decision that is guaranteed to put him on the most wanted list when he follows his heart and kidnaps Lacey. He knows that some things are worth the risk. What he doesn’t know is that Lacey has a few secrets of her own.
