Sasha
SASHA is the story of a very remarkable dog: a Staffordshire Bull Terrier abandoned close to death at the age of 6 weeks old. Rescued from a street gutter, she had the good fortune to be adopted by author Brian L. Porter and his family.

Including the acclaimed stories Tears of Repentance and Internal Abduction, Moribund Tales is a raw and visceral collection from the master of horror, Erik Hofstatter.
Mudlarks & Meadowlarks
This story, highly fabricated though is, is written around my childhood understanding of a significant, singular incident in the life of my paternal grandfather.
Because of my grandfather’s life in London, on the Canadian prairies and in Toronto, I am here and writing this story about an unsung hero, a most ordinary man. I dedicate this book to him, Harry Westley, a mudlark of sorts who loved meadowlarks… and to the memory of his son, my father, Frank.
The Story That Had No Beginning
Alicia Collinson poses a surprising question to her dinner guests:
“Do you think lying is endemic in society today?”

But when Mary unexpectedly passes away, a new person enters Alice's life - someone who seems to know every detail about her.

Orchids and Neurons
We live on a planet that is a thin place - a place where time and light continually intersect. And yet we are taught to experience life as thick. When we move intentionally through the thickness that surrounds us and perceive Light, we can begin to punch peep-holes into and through Time.
I, as poet, live a solitary 4-P journey with the partners of Prose, Poetry, Photography and Prayer. In my journey of Time and Light, I’ve learned that I can free myself from the ballast of ordinary Time and soar in the Light. This is Time Travel for me. The most redemptive partner of my four is poetry. The process seizes me, and I become consumed by the emerging poem until it is complete. Poetry and prayer are closely related, at times with a loss of boundaries.
Blood Rise
After the murder of a U.S. Senator, Pinkerton Detective Simms is tasked with bringing the killer to justice.
This would be a simple case for someone as determined and experienced as Simms, but shadowing him is someone far more dangerous and deadly than mere hired murderers.
Across the unforgiving Territories comes a spectre of death, and once again Simms finds himself in a struggle for survival against an old enemy who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal: the death of Detective Simms.
Blood Rise is a standalone novel and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.
Praise from readers:
"Loved this entire series... I hope to read more of Detective Simms' adventures in the near future." - Marianne Spitzer, Amazon Review
The War Chamber
David’s trial by fire awaits.
The unwitting hero and captain of the mystical sailing ship, Moon Singer, has yet to learn that his deafness is his greatest gift. This "disability", along with his possession of three sacred artifacts: The Singer Crystal, The Rose Crystal and The Wind Rose Compass, bestow David the power to save the lives of everyone he loves.
Yet he feels that all the miracles he brought home on the Moon Singer have dissipated. He's just as deaf as before, his sister's paralysis has returned, and his anguish over his mother's death is stronger than ever. At his mother’s grave, David unleashes the power of his crystals and is transported to Coronadus, where he encounters a revered woman who wields the power of life and death, and helps David understand his mission.
Chaos Storm
The crystal skulls have been united in Sterling Temple to complete the great spell.
The flow of the seasons has returned, bringing back a life of peace and plenty. This doesn't sit well with Matheus Hawk, who is busy plotting the Realm's destruction, fanning the burning coals of his hatred for the crew of The Griffin.
An approaching storm threatens the Realm. In the north, the warrior Queen Morgasta prepares her barbarians for invasion, and across The Great Expanse marches an even greater threat: the Soul Eaters.
And with them, the Chaos Storm.
The Fifth Commandment
After Christina breaks the Fifth Commandment, strange things begin to happen - and take her away from home in Normal, Illinois.
Now, she’s back and has to tell them the story within a story, but how can she make them believe? So she had made a mistake - but didn’t all teenagers do the same thing?
The Fifth Commandment is a supernatural memoir entwined with a plot drenching with old-fashioned religious guilt, and short enough to finish in a single sitting - perhaps lounging by the pool or sitting in the garden. The novella follows Christina into a confessional and starts at what we would consider our weakest point.
The point when we first admit our sin.

With her foster brother Tuatin somehow linked to it all, she is taken from countryside to the city - to the presence of the very Gods themselves - and driven to follow the path of her dreams.
Praise for The Path of Dreams:
"Matt Harrill is a master not only in creating a vivid world that comes to life and that you want to visit, but in creating characters that you want to visit it with. This gives his work an earthy quality that I both admire and envy." - David Farland, New York Times Bestselling Fantasy Author
