Beschreibung

A fishing village at the end of the world. A lake that is drying up and, ominously, pushing out its banks. The men have vodka, the women troubles, the children eczema to scratch at. Born into this unforgiving environment, Nami, a young boy, embarks on a journey with nothing but a bundle of nerves, a coat that was once his grandfather's and the vague idea of searching for his mother, who disappeared from his life at a young age. To uncover the greatest mystery of his life, he must sail across and walk around the lake and finally dive to its bottom.


The Lake is a raw account of life in a devastated land and the harsh, primitive circumstances under which people fight to survive.

    Looking for some humorous Science Fiction? You're going to love this spoofy action and adventure series! 
    Liam admits it. He messed up big time. Book 2 continues the story of estranged alien mates on the starship Liberator. Captain Liam Synar and PeaceKeeper Ania Looren are still trying to make peace with their turbulent pasts.  
    Ambassador Ania Looren was content with how she had lived her very long life. If given the choice, she would have chosen death over becoming the Daemon of Synar’s physical host. But compelled to save her life, her questionable mate, Captain Liam Synar, made the decision for her. Now she is fighting her own inner darkness as well the dark alien spirit she carries inside her.  
    Liam wants Ania to love him again, but how can she? She’s still struggling to forgive what he’s done.  
    ***Just like in space opera TV shows, the characters in my Forced To Serve series reappear from book to book because they are crew members of the same spaceship. Book 1 (64,000 words) and Book 2 (110,000 words) together are the full story of Liam and Ania's adventure. Reading both books is recommended to get a full feel for this series.

    It turns out that the leader of the Authority, the council that decides what can—and can't—be done with magic, is being held hostage.

An undead magic user has possessed one of the prisoners, and he wants his freedom—and then some. Now Allie and Zayvion are the first line of defense against the chaos he's about to unleash on the city of Portland.

    A series of grisly murders coincide with the arrival of a boy’s new neighbor—a strange little girl—in this international bestselling gothic vampire tale. 
     
    It is autumn 1981 when inconceivable horror comes to Blackeberg, a suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenager is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is personally hoping that revenge has come at long last—revenge for the bullying he endures at school, day after day. 
     
    But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl has moved in next door—a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night . . .  
     
    Originally published as Let the Right One In. 
     
    The inspiration for the 2008 Swedish film, the 2022 Showtime streaming series, and the 2010 American film Let Me In.
