Summary:
Tormalia
If you decide to review, please start from Chapter 1.
At one time, Nerris Palada had been part of the Thrillseekers, an adventuring group legendary throughout the continent of Tormalia. After many years of winning the hearts of the people and being immortalized in song and story, they went their separate ways. Now a mercenary, Nerris has become deeply involved in the civil war gripping the country of Yagolhan, and is in a very dark place within his own soul.
But when evil forces emerge, Nerris is driven out of his army and left to fend for himself. When a chance encounter reunites Nerris with his friends in their home village, the Thrillseekers set off for one last grand adventure. Joined by the mysterious fledgling sorceress Len-Ahl, the fellowship soon finds itself on a mission much bigger than their own desires. What they seek could free the world from a dark threat that has gripped it since antiquity.
When the dust has settled between gods and godlings, kings and commoners, and magic and mystery, Nerris may sink back into darkness or come to relearn the joy, happiness and love he had forgotten.

 | Fight | w. e. turner | Novel | Literary Fiction | 5 | n/a | Jan 19, 2012 |
Summary:This is a story I wrote some time ago (mid-to-late '70s). After I wrote it I attempted to get it published, received rejections each time I submitted it, then shelved it. After joining this site recently, I decided to post it here to see if it has any merit, which I believe, or none, which the editors who rejected it seem to believe.
Note: On attempting to insert the story text, I was informed it was "Over Limit" so it will be published in two parts.Chapters: |
 | The Deserter | w. e. turner | Novel | Historical Fiction | 6 | n/a | Nov 17, 2011 |
Summary:This is not actually a novel but, again, a short story that is too long for the site's word limit, so it will be published in two parts.
The story occurs in December of 1862 in a Confederate Army camp outside the town of Murphreesborough, Tennessee. The town's name is spelled "Murphreesboro" today, but the spelling was not changed, deleting the "ugh" on the end, until the early-to-mid 1870s. Though you see Civil War maps and histories with the shorter spelling, these histories were written and those maps were drawn after the spelling change occurred.Chapters: |

 | White Swan | JHawk | Novel | War and Military | 7 | n/a | Sep 5, 2011 |
Summary:White Swan is a story of intrigue, subterfuge, desperation, hope, and finality launched on an epic front. With the world on the edge, will it be the billions of half-starved zealots that win over the unpredictability of the West, or will it be technical know how that overwhelms an impregnable nation? You will be taken behind the scenes to witness first hand the evil that is wrought by a power hungry few; from the cold desperation of Beijing, to the ruthless reactions in Washington. Great leaders are unveiled, and mediocre bureaucrats become lions as the clock ticks quickly down to mass confrontation; and possible nuclear annihilation.
White Swan takes you inside the workings of the White House as the American President schemes to overcome the Congressional power that is demanding a withdrawal of all American forces from Vietnam, then it transports you inside the inner most sanctum of the Communist world, where old men dictate the future of billions; driven by fear, they force a hand that will upset the balance of power throughout the world. In between the power centers of two nations lay the men and women who will do the dying . . . they who will write their story in blood over a thousand hills and valleys.
White Swan is the Vietnam War the way it should have been fought . . . and won.

 | We Own The President | brucedeitrickprice | Novel | Thrillers | 2 | n/a | Jun 5, 2010 |
Summary:"We Own The President" (set a few years in future; 116,000 words) Why it’s unique: father-daughter buddy story meets 007-type thriller...
Harry Evans works for secret government agencies, sees himself as the last line of defense against the evil people in the world. He’s good at it.
Kate Evans, studying for an MBA at Wharton, is contemptuous of her father and has as little to do with him as possible. After all, he’s nothing but a killer...
Readers get a big swirling thriller--mad-genius twins try to "own the President"--plus entertaining inter-generational conflict.
Harry Evans, daughter Kate, and her friend Carmen are increasingly in the center of the vortex, not sure what is real or where their loyalties should be. The country is coming apart. President Simpson declares war on Mexico, and hints at worst. Kate and Harry, alone against the world, start to function as partners -- but don’t try to tell Kate that. The question is, can these two alphas stop squabbling long enough to save the country from a conspiracy to seize control of the president and to accomplish this in a way that conceals what has happened.
