Night Goblins: A Memoirby JT Gregory

‘Someone Please Come Adopt This A**hole!’

So begins the 2016 Craigslist ad that introduced the internet to The Ditch Kitty, a maniacal orange kitten saved from a roadside ditch only to turn his rescuer’s life into a living hell.

The post went viral. And the internet fell in love with the tiny, orange monster. But it would have been impossible at the time for almost anyone to know the story behind the ad.

They couldn’t know about The Kid- the one so desperate to escape his abusive home that he attempted suicide at the age of 10, the one who grew up to be a soldier, because what else is such a directionless kid supposed to do? And they definitely couldn’t know about the drinking. The despair. And how all of it- the PTSD, the alcoholism, and above all his reckless stupidity- would put him behind the wheel of a ticking time bomb and cost the life of a man he never met.

When JT Gregory meets The Ditch Kitty, he’s completely lost- out of prison and out of work, failing to write a book he’ll never finish- and awaiting news on the birth of a child he’s in no way qualified to have. A child that would be so much better off without a screw-up ex-con in her life.

So who’s the real asshole? And who, in the end, saves whom?

Night Goblins: A Memoir is the striking true story of one man’s trauma, his guilt and self-loathing- and the tiny, orange night goblin who saved him from it all.

The Blood of the Lamb: A Novelby Peter De Vries

This autobiographical novel of family tragedy by the author of Slouching Towards Kalamazoo “moves deftly from manic hilarity to manic fury, and back again” (Newsday).

The most poignant of Peter De Vries’s novels, The Blood of the Lamb is also his most personal. It follows the life of Don Wanderhop from his childhood in an immigrant Calvinist family living in Chicago in the 1950s through the loss of a brother, his faith, his wife, and finally his daughter–a tragedy drawn directly from De Vries’s own life.

Despite its basis in personal tragedy, The Blood of the Lamb offers glimpses of the comic sensibility for which De Vries was famous. Written with a powerful blend of grief, love, wit, and fury, De Vries’s “sensitive treatment of the death of a beloved child it has scarcely a superior in contemporary fiction" (Chicago Tribune).

Gates of Eden: The Druid Legacy (Books 1-3)by Theophilus Monroe

More than 1000 pages of druids, dragons, demigods, and danger fill this modern Arthurian epic boxed set.*

Legacies are forged through sacrifice.

Book 1: Druid’s Dance (newly revised/edited edition)

Elijah Wadsworth lost his parents and twin sister in what he thought was little more than a tragic accident. But five years later, when Elijah begins manifesting strange abilities–which he neither understands nor can control–he discovers his family has been at the center of a cosmic battle for centuries… and his family’s death was likely no accident at all. A mysterious “girl in black” with dark, magical abilities pursues him, hoping to lure him to her cause.  After coming into possession of a mystical stone, which transports Elijah into his deceased father’s ancient memories, Elijah and his closest friends must discover the source of his power together lest his newfound abilities drain his very soul, and open up our world to the blight of Samhuinn. When a girl he loves, however, is threatened he must make a choice to either save her by joining the sorceress, the “girl in black,”  or save the world. 

Book 2: Bard’s Tale

The Tree of Life–the source of Elijah’s power–is failing. Creatures from Samhuinn are breaking through the veil and terrorizing St. Louis. As the Tree weakens, Elijah’s abilities are failing. Will Elijah be able to stop the incursions before his powers fade completely?

Book 3: Ovate’s Call

Elijah’s Ovate–Tyler–is visited by a strange, but alluring, princess from Annwn. He’s immediately captivated by her–but Elijah fears the princess has ulterior motives. Is the princess who she claims to be, or is she another pawn in the Morrigan’s scheme? The cosmic struggle between Elijah, his Order, and the Morrigan and her legions comes to a head in the final installment of the Gates of Eden: the Druid Legacy Trilogy.

Readers of Theophilus Monroe’s Voodoo Academy from the Gates of Eden: The Voodoo Legacy will naturally adore the Druid Legacy. Combined with Celtic mythology and Arthurian lore, this druid urban fantasy is a compelling installment in the Gates of Eden world. With magical fantasy adventure romance, a snarky male hero, and a plethora of characters taken straight from Arthurain lore and the Celtic world of myth, this time travel epic fantasy will keep readers enthralled from start to finish.
