<p>I have released my next collection of short stories that have appeared right here on this site&#8230; all of them in a cleaner, post-blog state. I typically post the rough versions here, and then later on, circle back, update, smooth, and generally make them better! This is my third short story collection, and eighth book, now available at all major retailers in both oversized paperback and digital editions. It is also available at most Digital Lending Libraries!</p>

<p>Sometimes we write because we need to. Sometimes it is to tell a story, sometimes it is to wrestle with something we don&#8217;t understand. Sometimes it is because we are merely the conduit of something greater than ourselves. Our connections to stories is what makes us human and our stories shape who we are. The story tellers are the reason we survive. In this collection, a young woman discovers a connection to magic through robbing a bank, ghosts and monsters are rarely the evil we make them out to be, time itself is both our greatest enemy and greatest friend, and death may be the one thing that is guaranteed and he only wants to help, and many more!</p>

<p>Like many stories, it all starts with a boy lost in the wilds. A forest, tall and majestic, looms above and surrounds. In the distance, birds call, singing songs that Calvin Mason has never heard before. He has arrived in a strange new world, on the frontier of a silent battle that had raged hundreds of years, and amongst the vibrant clash of life and limb, he has to find his own way in the wide world. &nbsp;A world full of mystery, conflict, and the purest thing of all: the pursuit of something greater. Cal sets out to solve a mystery of how the greatest thinkers of Uan disappeared&#8230; as he is pursued by those that would misuse this knowledge for selfishness. Will he succeed where so many have failed? Or will he be another seeker that found only death and more mystery? This is a sequel to The Lines Are Ours to Follow, telling the story from Cal&#8217;s point of view as he grows into an adult, and strikes out for his own fortune on Uan.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PANTHEON</span> </strong>by Sean Robin Hughes</p>



<p class="has-drop-cap">Emma White is on her gap year, at least that is what she tells the customers that are nosy enough to ask. Her priorities are just getting by with her job at the coffee shop, spending time with her loving aunt, and trying to blossom into a functioning adult, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. Isn&#8217;t that what a gap year is supposed to be for? As she is closing up one night, a beautiful stranger invades her life, bringing an ancient power struggle along in her powerful wake. It will take all of Emma&#8217;s strength, care, and emotional investment to avoid the end of herself, all she has ever known, and every living thing in the cosmos. <em>The Gods have awakened</em>.</p>

<p><strong>The Rear Cover:</strong></p>



<p>My dreams are forgotten most of the time, but when I do remember them, they turn into other things.  They are living creatures, and they come to life on the page, build connections to other stories, and create their own narratives that I am not in control of. In this collection, travel to the unknown with misfits and friends; jump into the life of witch trying to make her way in the big city; monsters and demons interacting with people in ways they never imagined; true love found in the places people rarely look; the far flung future of the human race; and many more!</p>



<p>AVAILABLE ON AMAZON via <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SWJL1JB">Kindle</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1099235332">Paperback</a>!</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Rear Cover:</strong></span></p>
<p>The Shahadim usually travel the world as monks, spreading the religion of their people and bringing others under the love and guidance of their Many Faced Gods. A young Shahadim boy from the great Shahles swamp is put onto a different path when he stumbles across an old Mreshi woman bleeding to death at the edge of his village. The Mreshi shows the boy that the world is far larger than he ever thought&#8230;</p>
<p>Queen Faru Der Chanress of the Mysian State has lead a blessed life, where she bloodlessly conquered her birthright from her despot Uncle and established a golden age for her family&#8217;s empire. As she has been fighting illness, little does she know a sinister threat lies within the heart of her Queendom looking to cause her rule to fail. She will need the help of someone she has never met to save her&#8230;</p>
<p>The right path will be found by the seeking, and the right seeker will always find the way.</p>
