    ‘Squire Ryanus’ follows the tale of a young man who’s been a member of the Order of Majestic Truth most of his life in pursuit of the dream of becoming a Paladin. There he has given up childhood, friendships, and family in pursuit of the dream to gain a title in the order. After years of strife, he finally receives an invitation from the council to finally gain his title. Becoming a Paladin will consist of more than a mere knighting ceremony, however. 
    Instead he will embark on a journey alone in order to obtain the Shield of Light, a powerful artifact that has been stolen by the forces of evil. Initially alone, he must track the beasts to their lair and fight to retrieve the shield, possibly shedding his blood in the process. Along the way however, he will meet a cast of quirky and colorful heroes to aid him in the quest. An unlikely bunch to follow a Paladin around, the mad wizard, shifty ranger, and sneaky rogue will join him at the fortress of the gnolls. If he survives, he will achieve his dream of becoming a Paladin and no longer go by the name of ‘Squire Ryanus’. 
    Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

    When thirty-five-year-old office worker Avery Brocus set up a profile on an adult hook-up site, he never dreamed a twenty-two-year-old hottie would contact him. Nor did he imagine she'd want to meet him in person. After agreeing, he immediately has second thoughts. He's expecting someone to rob him of his money or identity. He's not expecting to encounter creatures that want his very soul. 
    Eve of Light is a dark metaphysical fantasy series chronicling the surreal events leading up to the Apocalypse--the Death of God. The setting is a contemporary, alternate Earth on the verge of a cataclysm that will warp space, time, and minds. The main narrative of those plotting and battling to save humanity is told in the Eve of Light series of novels. The short stories are simply flashes on the fringe--episodes told from the perspective of everyday men and women living in a world turned weird.
