Banned Magic
Good morning and welcome to Tuesday Treat. Today, we’re talking about Banned Magic a quest by three teens to save magic while overcoming their fears.
Three teens must save magic
Blurb
The Edict changes the lives of those gifted with magic. Three teens, once close friends, each have a mission to complete. Can they do what’s right or is magic gone forever?
Cerra, Paul, and Jillian connect through telecommunication, until the night everything changes for Gifted. They are no longer happy children looking forward to a wonderful future. Cerra is on the run to avoid arrest and imprisonment. Paul flees to Haven, a magical enclave, where he is taught to become an infiltrator and put his own freedom on the line by fighting the enemy from within. Jillian remains behind and becomes a Hunter—those seeking to capture and imprison all Gifted.
Will this trio reunite and fight against those determined to destroy magic?

Excerpt
Paul Eberham stared out his bedroom window into darkness blanketed the North Georgia mountains. He shuddered when he felt surges of anger and fear through his magic.
It will happen tonight. I have to warn Jillian and Cerra. They need to hide.
The Edict, a law banning those possessing incredible powers from using them or attending school, driving a car, even having the rights of normal citizenship was going into effect. Even though he was a mere eight years of age, Paul was well aware of the damage this could cause humanity.
Jilly. Cerra-girl, can you hear me?

Paradox Lost Their Path on Spotify
Blurb
The past changed the future
… the future must salvage the past.
DJ, Matt, and Elisa are mostly normal teens. They have their friends, and their squabbles, and their dreams of the future. Yet, they are also very special teens, brought into this world to fulfill a prophecy made by an ancestor 200 years in their past. One of them dies, one receives incredible powers, and one discovers a place no one suspected she would have.
It was meant to be nothing more than a fun and adventurous spring break from the Beaufort School of Visionary Studies for triplets DJ, Matt, and Elisa. Little did they know that the prophecy made about them was about to catch up. When they are warned that Rogues have targeted them and their family, they go into hiding to protect everyone. But the Rogues have other plans. Can they make the right choices even though they know others will be hurt by their decisions? Even when one of those decisions means certain death?
Excerpt
He wakes with a sense of alarm racing through his body. For the fifth time this month, Dennis James Sullivan hears unseen callers in his head, but today is far different from any other.
At seventeen, he is taller than most boys his age. His dark red hair falls over his deep blue eyes. He shoves the hair back and leans his elbows against his knees. His whole body feels as if it belongs to someone else, what with his knees and elbows all knobby, and the way he constantly springs up another inch overnight. Not that that wasn’t normal, but then the voices began speaking to him, and he can’t make sense of it.

Briana Loch O’Calliagh has a choice… follow the wishes of her father or strike out on a path no female elf has taken in the past. She’s conflicted as she approaches the test of her magical abilities but soon finds herself facing danger while working to achieve her dreams.
Can she overcome the obstacles in her path to achieve her dreams?
Excerpt
The sun rose as it always did in her sire’s village. Briana remained in her bed as long as she dared, hoping against hope that she wouldn’t be called upon to display control of her supposed powers.
Why did I tell Father last night that I’d found my magic?
Regret raced through the fourteen summers’ old elf. All her life, she’d been taught that she could never lie, for that would cause her to lose the connection to the magic she desperately needed to become a true part of his village.
Will Father understand if I explain to him?

Protector of the Phoenix
Good morning and welcome to Monday Musing. Today, we’re talking about Protector of the Phoenix where a young man has to decide between his family legacy and his own dreams.
Trank wants to walk a different path…
Protector of the Phoenix on Spotify
Blurb
The Evans family has always been the Protector of the Phoenix. The heavy mantle has passed from father to oldest son for hundreds of years—until an accident in the breederies changes everything.
Trank’s dreams are of Wizard Camp and teaching about his wonderful world to young wizards and witches around the world. He has plans, none of which include working at the family’s legacy. After an accident in two of the breederies, he finds himself with the heavy mantle of Protector shoved on his shoulders, a mere day after his fourteenth birthday.
Not only is he thrust into the drudgery of protecting the Phoenixes, he has to continually fight to prove that he can do the job when the father of his best friend attempts to wrest the position of Protector from the Evans family. Can Trank do what is needed and prevent a reoccurrence of the accident that took so many of his family? Will he succumb to the intense work and quit to escape what he views as something that is making him so unhappy?
Excerpt
Southern pines rose well above the two boys hidden in the wooded area behind the small farmhouse. A gentle breeze blew across the tops of the trees bending them and swaying the upper trunks. Neither boy paid much attention after watching the action for a few moments. Both held sticks about two feet long and grinned at each other. Dust clouds rose from where they stood. At one end of the clearing, rocks lay scattered.
The taller boy’s skin resembled a rich cup of espresso. His companion’s complexion appeared so pale as to redden in the early spring sunshine breaking through the trees surrounding them. Shouts and laughter filled the air.
“I’ve got it,” the fair-skinned one called. “It’s not fair, Gordon. Your last three landed without a problem. You’ve been practicing.”

Amazon eBook
Excerpt
I can’t believe I’m still stuck in the asteroid belt near Mars, searching for what I now firmly believe is one of my kid brother BD’s space ghouls. It’s been a month since we rescued the people from Starship Lyreand reunited the families of those who were aboard Mother Ship when she exploded. My team and I are fast running out of supplies to sustain our search and we’ve all been stuck on this mid-sized ship so long that we’re ready to mutiny just for the chance to have a meal that doesn’t come out of a packet or a sonic shower that lasts more than forty-five seconds.
“Bradford.” Ames glances over his shoulder from his position at the communications board. “Chief Pelham needs to speak to you on a private channel.”
“I’ll take it in my quarters.” I stalk off the command deck.

Until…
An explosion on Sub-1 turns a happy day into one fraught with danger and disaster. Can the team rally and save the station?
Amazon eBook
Excerpt
This station is so amazing. Even though my friends and I have only been living here for a short time, we’re treated as if we’ve been here forever. No one mentions that we were once part of Believers, for which we are very thankful.
“Sure wish we could be more a part of the team,” Kathe says. “It’s like they brought us here and we have to pretend like we never took care of those Believers on Starship Lyre.”
Kathe, LaTisha, and I have often commented on how the Canoples Investigations team seems to have a lot of adventures without us. Why, just two months ago, when Believers attempted to take over the station, BD, Carl, Cassie, and Terry, along with Jack and Mick, took off to Poseidon to deal with the Believers in charge there. They went nearly to the end of the galaxy, close to Pluto, and had a lot of fun before they came back to save the station.

There’s a carnival on the station, with all kinds of “legally” cloned animals, more than a few zero-G acrobats, and miniature clowns. BD’s ever present suspicious mind latches onto one thing when the advance team for Galactic Carnival arrives to begin preparations for a weeklong visit. The ringmaster looks familiar, but the man swears that he has never been to Canoples Station before. Even worse, children five and under are disappearing. A bit of investigating on BD’s part clues him in to the fact this has happened on every station Space Dodger Space Circus has visited so far. He’s determined to uncover the true identity of the ringmaster and solve the mystery of the missing children, but at what cost. Is BD willing to lose his lifelong friends to solve this case? Will they prove Jenna Rock, Wade’s girlfriend, isn’t involved?
Amazon eBook
Excerpt
The normal sounds of the promenade seem wrong. I have a sensation of impending doom, much like the moments before the space pirates showed up. The desire to leap into action is very strong, so much so that I’m literally leaning forward with my fists clenched at my side.
“Easy,” Carl murmurs. “You don’t know for sure it’s him.”
Of course, I know this man we’re watching is our quarry. How can I not know that? Not that his appearance is anywhere close to his daughter, who right now is aboard Fomalhaut for a very long stay. Erin Markus did lead Spacers Rule, a galaxy wide ring of splifters, but she wasn’t in charge.
Oh, no, she was far from in charge of those thieves. The person with that responsibility has just entered Canoples Station and is talking with none other than our less than ethical governor, but I have no definitive way of proving that.

Corina Amberchuck refuses to believe her parents are responsible for the loss of Mother Ship. When no one will help her prove that she’s right, she reaches out on a memorized band width, connecting with the infamous BD Bradford for help.
Excerpt
We left Earth long after the evacuation. No one would come ever again to save those left on the severely polluted planet. The original departure had happened so long ago that I had not yet been born, even though Believers tried to make all of us think that it was only a decade earlier.
Eleven years have passed since the day Mother Ship and her escorts escaped Earth. I am now sixteen, ready to step up for my training, but still a year or so exists before I can do that. All that is my responsibility these days is to do the best job possible furnishing sustenance for those who live on the ships, and keep an eye out for Believers.

An announcement at breakfast hatches an idea in his ever-active brain – space pirates might be in the vicinity. Visions of creds tumbling around him after he captures the miscreants war with thoughts of what he did to torque off his girlfriend.

Excerpt
My life changed on an impossibly ordinary day. No warnings came my way, nothing to indicate that all I believe in is about to change—for the worst.
As I think back on it after all the space dust settled, I wish someone had given me a warning that I was about to embark on the biggest adventure of my life. Then again, I'm BD Bradford, intrepid investigator. No case is too big, no problem too monumental. Nothing would make me change a second of that very exciting day.

A whole week has passed since the volcano on Io erupted. My crew and I are chillin’ on the promenade. Absolutely nothing will disturb us today. Nope. Not a thing that has a chance of interrupting the planned exploration of the latest set of test scores for the pilot’s license that will be posted within the hour.
“What do you think?” Terry asks. “Did we pass?”
Cassie snorts. Even though we’re now officially a couple, I give her a sideways crooked look. So what if she passed that test the first time without breaking a sweat? We guys have to keep up our reputation of not being able to land with those silly rules in place.
