Speaking With Shugaan: Book One of the Hinothian Crystal Series
Fantasy
Aaiden had been raised to believe that magic existed and was to be respected, but he would probably never see any of it. He had been taught that the stories that crazy Pluritan told the village children, stories of Dragons, Dwarves and warrior women with angel wings, were just a product of a feeble old mind.
Until the day came, much to his surprise, that he showed the entire village that he had powerful magic of his own. This would send him away from the only home he had ever known; with a person he did not fully know or trust, to learn how to control it.
And with the discovery of his magic there would come danger and death. The young Wizard would have to follow the path his dreams would lay before him and search out the magical creatures that before had only existed in the imagination of a very old man.

Space Brigade
Sci-Fi

Network Command exploits this opportunity to send a strike force against the Ormacronis shipyards, the suppliers of warships to the Quat-tar—a move that nearly causes political collapse within the Coalition Assembly—while silently in the background the Directorate of Covert Operations manoeuvres things along to suit their own deceptive needs and ultimate design. They require the Quat-tar’s secondary planet for their own.
The pressure is on; Pierce Force must gain control of the volatile situation, battle against overwhelming odds and retrieve the Ambassador before Tanteee is invaded and galactic confrontation erupts.
