Coming Soon!
 
Tarenek Brye Annis lives as a rogue, hidden from everyone but his drako friend Elek and a distant relative, Marana, who owns a tavern in the lower land and keeps him informed of things happening at home and people who may benefit from the type of help he can offer.
 
When Marana begs him to take a job for a friend of hers, a job that requires he interact with people, he reluctantly agrees. Then he meets the woman from his nightmares, a woman his clairvoyant mind has shown in torment because of his curse.
 
Circumstances pull him into the job and make it impossible for him to avoid the beautiful and unaware woman. As the journey passes, Tarenek realizes Fate is being so very cruel but he is determined to avoid the events his dream has shown him. Yet, each thing he does to avoid the terrible outcome seems to take him ever closer.

The Freedom Wars

"LOVE how T.C. Makes you feel like you are in the book. Nothing better than thinking you are one of the characters or at least their close friend. Thank you, T.C., for letting me ride a dragon, even if only in my imagination." —Deborah Biter, avid reader.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~
 
"The familiar characters from the first three Disilluisonment books reach a crisis point in this one, with Kira and Tarenek alternating viewpoints as they struggle both against the Pure Ones and against Tarenek's growing (and apparently justified) fear of himself. It's fast paced and exciting, with heroic yet believably flawed characters, and the author does a fine job of bringing this story to a conclusion while setting up the next one. For which I must now eagerly wait! It's such a pleasure to watch an author grow as T.C. McMullen has while writing this series."   — Reviewed by Nina M. Osier, author of 2005 science fiction EPPIE winner "Regs"

260 pages/$15.95

 

 

The battles of the mortal people of Earth, under the new Monarch, against the Pure Ones of Niribar rage vicious over the lands. Madai cities are razed, burning. With the help of the Inaut, some Madai forces are able to fend off those still alligned with the Pure Ones, but when face to face with fighting a Pure One, they have no hope—until Kira and Tarenek Brye Annis arrive.
 
The sibling duo, with their drako friend Elek, is able to do more than fend off a Pure One. Tarenek, often thought of as a gift of the savior gods, is able to fight a Pure One head on, and he never loses.
 
It's not long before Kira sees changes in her brother and Tarenek knows the darkness too. What he was warned about so many years before is surfacing and not waning to his will. He knows what a danger he is becoming, not only to his enemies, but also to everyone he loves.

"I cannot wait for the 4th book. I am so obsessed... T.C. should definately be a New York best seller with this series. Her writing style flows so nicely you feel like you are the characters, if not a character, then watching a 3D movie." Deborah Biter, avid reader.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~

"Another character-driven, action-packed tale that carries the series forward and gives resolution to some of its threads. It leaves plenty, though, for the next book to pick up; and I can't imagine anyone reading this one without wanting to read the next. I certainly do!"

Revenge of the Gods

"Didn't think T.C. could top the first one. I was sooooo wrong! Could not put it down. Her characters were so vivid and alive, I felt like I was there!" Deborah Biter, avid reader from Pennsylvania
 
~~~~~~~~~
 
"This is the second installment in a sweeping story, one that spans an altered planet and reaches out across space. It deals with not just simple good vs. evil, but with how good people can find themselves caught in situations that change them for the worse. Its characters, both those brought forward from the first book and those introduced during this one, come to life and respond realistically (although by no means predictably) to what they encounter as well as to each other. These are complex people who are neither perfect nor always admirable, but they are people the reader can't help caring about. Intriguing, imaginative, and exciting reading, with more books to come before the story ends!"

What Readers Are Saying:
 
"There are no words to describe T.C.'s writing style. Absolutely fantastic, couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next book!" Deborah Biter, avid reader from Pennsylvania
 
~~~~~
 
"This first book in a new series makes a satisfying read on its own, but it promises a great deal more as the Inaut and the Madai continue their stories. Tryn is just the sort of heroine I love to read about: smart, competent, self-confident, with conflicts stemming from her sense of honor and from an on-going battle between her need to trust and her hard-learned unwillingness to do so. Cedrik's secrets come out at just the right time as the plot unfolds, and the universe author McMullen creates grows more believable - more "real" to the reader - with each detail and each new revelation. I hated to put it down, and didn't except when forced to do so."

The Realm Beyond the Triangles

When construction worker Bryce Kendlar is cornered into a vacation sailing from Miami to the Bimini Islands, he expects the worst of the adventure will be the days spent in close quarters with his ex-girlfriend and his brother’s new in-laws on their yacht. Then he witnesses the strange phenomena of the Bermuda Triangle. On the other side, beneath a sky with three moons, some on board are murdered, others kidnapped, and Bryce faces a surreal adversary who then leaves him to fend off death in an alien forest.

Despite the dangers surrounding him, he’s determined to rescue his brother from the captives and somehow return home. He soon meets a woman lost to the Bermuda Triangle twenty years before, one who reveals the world he now lives in has an easily accessed magical realm and that he and his brother were taken because of their skills. To find his brother, he must ally himself with those called the Nalus Knights and battle against their foes.

The Knights and the adventure Bryce finds himself tangled within on the other side of the Triangle will provide answers to the long lived mysteries of the ancient stone masons of Earth and leave him changed forever…

Rise of the Arcadians

"In Desire (otherwise known as Scout), {T.C. McMullen} created a memorable yet believable action heroine on whose coming of age struggle a continent's fate depends. The people surrounding her are just as real, and the best thing about Desire - in this reader's opinion - is how her developing relationship with one special man enhances instead of changes her. There's warning here, of what our own world's future may hold if we continue on our current pathway; but there's also hope." --Reviewed by Nina M. Osier, author of the Farthinghome series from eBooksOnThe.Net (first volume now available in paperback from Cambridge Books)

It's the year 2122, seventy-two years after the Upheaval that changed the world.

The Earth is nothing like it once was -- rivers became oceans, waters washed away sands and soil to leave jagged cliffs, earthquakes reformed mountain chains, northern lands froze, and technology was lost or without resources to continue.

Humanity struggles on. Protecting the wall guarding civilized borders from cannibalistic Oceaners is the main priority. One stone citadel full of armed forces stands outside the wall’s center. Two more stand at the northern and southern borders. But good men to fill them are scarce.

Desire, trusted scout to the citadel leader, sees to thewelfare of the east citadel men while remaining a mystery to all. She knows much about humanity's past, and things of the future before they happen. She also knows secrets of the haunted outer lands everyone else fears.

When Oceaners band their forces to unconquerable numbers, she must fight to help save the people of the civilized lands, but her home village and its citizens, ghosts of the wilds, may be the world's only remaining formidable force if they can escape their own demise from within.
