Book Description
SCIENCE / FANTASY set in the far future's distant past...with a thread of ROMANCE running throughout: Three planets doomed to extinction, and only a handful of heroes are equipped to save them from time paradoxes and nasty aliens. WEBS OF PARADOX is a complete story-arc, HIGH ACTION / ADVENTURE you will find difficult to put down. Amazon Reviews on Part One [previously published as Reins of Time]: - The world is complete, and the characters vivid. Obviously, a lot of effort was put into making this world work, and the mesh of the two worlds blends completely. The action is nonstop as the characters are tumbled from one precarious situation to another, and the ending comes together nicely. This was an enjoyable read, well worth the greater story depth and thoughts required to follow the story. TiggerKat

Book Description
“Power Without the Price.” Every Atari fan remembers that slogan from the 1980s as the rallying cry for 16-bit computing in the form of the Atari ST. This groundbreaking computer brought previously unimagined power to the home user for the first time—and transformed an industry or two along the way. Author Jamie Lendino offers a fresh, vital look at the history of the Atari ST, guiding you from its inauspicious genesis at the center of a company known for its gaming consoles to its category-defining triumphs in music, desktop publishing, and video gaming. And he doesn’t stop there: He then leaps to the present to pull back the veil on the thriving software and mod communities that aren’t just keeping it alive today, but taking it to places its creators never could have imagined. Whether you’re a longtime devotee who wants to relive the magic of the machine that unleashed the wonders of Dungeon Master, Time Bandit, and Starglider, an intrepid DIYer on the hunt for new ideas and resources to take your homebrew system to the next level, or a newcomer hungry to learn the ins and outs of one of the most important computers ever created, this book will get you there just as the ST did its long-ago digital pioneers: Faster Than Light.

Book Description
“If you didn’t grow up with an SNES and are curious to know about games like Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid and more, then this is the book for you.” —Got Game Following on from the previously released NES Encyclopedia, The SNES Encyclopedia is the ultimate resource for fans of Nintendo’s second home video game console, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Containing detailed information on all 780 games released for the SNES in the west, this enormous book is full of screenshots, trivia and charmingly bad jokes. It also includes a bonus section covering the entire twenty-two-game library of the Virtual Boy, Nintendo’s ill-fated 3D system which was released at the end of the SNES’s life. “Without question, The SNES Encyclopedia: Every Game Released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System makes for an excellent video game library addition. It’s an economical and well-crafted book of Nintendo’s 16-bit history, and it’s sure to leave you yearning for the days of Super Mario World’s vibrant colors, Super Metroid’s intoxicating atmosphere, and Super Punch Out!!’s incredible tension. If you already own The NES Encyclopedia, you’ll know what to expect, but if you’re just starting a collection of video game-themed books, you can’t go wrong with this condense and informative offering.” —Nintendo World Report

Book Description
It is 150 years in a future that looks vastly different, yet somehow so achingly similar to today’s world. Set against this futuristic version of Atlanta in a world as damaged and tainted as Abigail sees herself, it is a hard place to survive. She knows that all too well, but there are tougher obstacles than just the world around her. Can she find the strength to trust again? Gloria Kitchens writes her stories to explore a futuristic setting in a place that she knows well: Atlanta. Writing stories of trust and identity is her way of solidifying the setting and grounding readers in the essence that humanity never changes — our wants and desires stay the same no matter where we are thrust. Abigail is a fiction book that speaks to young adults and sci-fi lovers. It delves into the darkness and light in all of us; the fragile strength of humanity to rise against all odds. Gloria hopes that, through this story, readers will see how starting to trust people again can help us continue moving forward in finding ourselves.
