DOWNLOAD EBOOKLife is an experience where we must emerge victorious over what prevents us from manifesting our reality. In this collection of eight volumes, the author defines us, as human beings, our psyche and the connection that exists between our body, soul, and Mind. He answers fundamental questions that trouble us deep down inside. Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? He shows us how to remain objective about our subjective experience. The author covers the origin of creation of the universe, the emergence of man, and the end of our world that progressively fades away. He goes beyond the limits of psychology which restrain our attempt to grasp our real consciousness. He shows us that the imperfection of our ego is at the origin of the wide array of emotions that afflicts us and enslaves humanity. He explains the phenomenon of the degeneration of our physical body, leading to death. He shows us how to slow it down, to finally reveal how to overcome it. His research helps us understand our presence in the universe. He demystifies the process of reincarnation and lifts the veil from the reality of paranormal phenomena. He teaches us how to wake up the wizard that sleeps within us and how to set him free. The author’s vision constitutes an overview of the human adventure and of our destiny if we have the power and we manifest the Will to triumph from the burden which was imposed on us. The only limits that we possess are the one which we cannot refute. The author explores the scenarios of the end of this world, in relation to the law of cycles which will lead to the birth of a new civilization where science will amaze and assist us into our exploration of life. He shares his personal experiences with us, as well as his comprehension of the lessons learned from them. He gives us all the necessary tools that will finally enable us to deliver ourselves from the forces of decay in order to be able to escape from our terrestrial prison. The first page of this collection opens the door to infinity and to our inner wizard.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRift in the Races (Book 2 of The Galactic Mage series) follows the continuing story of powerful Prosperion sorcerer Altin Meade and feisty Earth-fleet officer Orli Pewter in the fight against the mysterious alien Hostiles. The Earth fleet is now moving to take advantage of its recent victory. With better combat strategies and Prosperion wizards only a blink away, the time has come to finish the job they set out to do: destroying the Hostiles. But complications arise. Altin's discovery of space-traveling humans from distant Earth has threatened ancient and foundational beliefs for the people of his world. The shockwaves from this revelation begin to unravel a long-standing but precarious balance of power. With her eyes to the sky and all its galactic possibilities, Prosperion's War Queen soon finds her realm on the brink of chaos. Together, Altin and Orli must once again find a way to mediate the forces of pride, frustration and fear between their two peoples, or both planets will be destroyed. What ensues is an action-packed, laser-blasting magic ride through space, war, romance and conspiracy--a thrilling tale of alliances and alien hostility. Unfortunately, sometimes "alien hostility" is a matter of perspective. *** Rift in the Races is the second book in The Galactic Mage series. Book 1, The Galactic Mage, and Book 3, Hostiles, are now available. Book 4, Alien Arrivals, is underway and expected in summer 2014 and a prequel, Ilbei Spadebreaker and the Harpy's Wild, is expected in March 2014.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt's impossible to outrun your past, no matter how deep you drop in the astral. With the weight of his conscience growing by the mission and a fiancee who makes him want to be a better man, Carl Ramsey decides to try his hand at being one of the good guys. But there's a long line of enemies who won't forget so easily. Mission 13: Mission Inadvisable The Mobius crew gets a job offer so vile they not only turn it down, they set out to stop the secretive crime lord doing the hiring. Along the way, they manage to accidentally double-cross an old friend. Sometimes, no matter what you try, you're destined to be on the wrong side of the law. Mission 14: Moral and Orbital Decay Mort's son is on the run from the Convocation. He's fled to a remote mining station and looking for a quick ride from his father's old crew. But when magic gets out of hand, suddenly everyone's more concerned about stopping the space station from crashing into a planet than finding a fugitive. Mission 15: Planet Hustlers Pirates capture the stunnji homeworld, and Rai Kub's people turn to Carl Ramsey to find a way to convince them to leave. Carl's plan? A lot of fast talking, subterfuge, and the crookedest game of poker ever played. The stakes: the fate of a refugee planet. Mission 16: Eternity or Bust When your bride-to-be makes a simple request, a smart man makes it happen. When your outlaw fiancee wants her wedding on Earth, where most of the galaxy's top law enforcement agencies are headquartered, it's going to take bribery, back room deals, and ratting out some old associates. But Carl won't be able to live with himself unless he gets his friends out of the jam he puts them in. Bonus Short Story: For Old Time's Sake With retirement in full force, the crew of the Mobius take on a decidedly low-key villain: the interlopers who're looking to ruin their gig hustling simulator combat for free meals. Black Ocean is a science fantasy series set in the 26th century. Do you wish there had been a second season of Firefly? Do you love the irreverent fun of Guardians of the Galaxy?
