Hi all, I'm "Ed," though of course as I write as "M. Edward McNally," here on Goodreads I am ID'd as "M." Despite that, I am not actually a minor character in a James Bond movie.

I'll be putting up a thread for "McNally's Muskets and Magic" dealing with my main fantasy books. Here I will just mention that I also put out sets of my older short stories as "Eddie's Shorts" Volumes 1, 2, and 3 at the moment. As I do not charge for these when able, they are generally billed as "A Free pair of my Old Shorts." Please help yourselves if interested.

Hi everyone,

I'm Summer and I'm happy to join this group!

I am writing a True Romance / Erotica series that I will confess is very closely based on my own adventures since my divorce about 18 months ago or so.

I have learned a lot about myself, my re-awakened sexuality and life in general.

I am a very new indie author that is getting some really great feedback and reviews for my series so far. It is truly humbling to hear some of the feedback and really makes me only want to work harder at my writing craft. (I'll confess as well that it is a little terrifying as well as I want to make perfectly sure that each volume lives up to expectations!!)

Anyway - without further ado -

Volume One of my series is probably 95% background information and character development to setup the series to come. Learn about how Mark and I met, and his unique ways of communication.

Summer's Journey: Volume One - Losing Control

Volume Two is where we find out what happens after my little black dress hit the hotel room floor! Things get very HOT, very quickly. Quite explicit, so be forewarned.

Summer's Journey: Volume Two - Alphabetical Assignation

One beta reader actually sent me an email about Volume Two that in part said: "I wish I had not read this on a bright and sunny afternoon, but rather at night in bed with vibrator in hand to deal with the sexual tension it creates."

Wow!! That is feedback that really can go to a new author's head (among other parts!).

Anyway - that is me and my books to date. I love to hear feedback so please let me know what you think if you get a chance to check them out.

I look forward to interacting and meeting the members of this great group!

The Seamstresses
Death is just a career change.

When Yin opens her eyes at the beginning of the story, she realizes two things. She is in an old abandoned seamstress shop – and she is dead. This afterlife is filled with laughing snowflakes and endless city streets. The only person here to guide her through this world is her older sister, who also happens to be dead.

Yin soon discovers that they must use their abilities to sew together the relationships of the living. Although Yin finds this prospect thrilling at first, not everything in these snow-lined streets is as it seems. She will soon discover that good and evil are woven more tightly together than she could have ever imagined.


The Colors of Qua
This is a story about what it truly means to be punished, and how sometimes redemption can only be found when you forgive yourself.

Sofia exists in a world between the living and dead, where she must help the souls of the deceased transition to their afterlife. Although Sofia takes pride in her work, she still believes she is being punished for the secret she keeps inside. When she meets a man who knows her secret, everything changes. Now she must be willing to give up everything she thinks she knows in order to find the one thing she so desperately seeks – redemption.


The Crecian Experience
This is the first installment in a trilogy of novellas about which species are allowed to become human and how that decision can change the destiny of all who seek it.

Elliot is a Crecian police officer, stationed on earth, in order to monitor the behavior of her own kind. Crecians have been allowed to live their last lifetime as a human, but something is going horribly wrong. Crecians are dying in large numbers, burned to death by their own life force.

Elliot must come to terms with the death of her own partner in order to discover who is killing her people and why. The more she learns about the human race, the more she realizes they have made a terrible mistake.

Patty Jansen has sold short fiction to SF and fantasy genre magazines such as Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Redstone SF and Aurealis. She has a novel coming out in 2013 with Ticornceroga Publications.

Blurb:
She’s not your ordinary country girl, even though she might look like one. She casts webs of power, reading the feelings of living beings and telling them what to do. Nobody knows what causes it, least of all her. Her name is Jessica, but most people call her ‘freak’.
One fateful day, her ‘web’ connects with a stranger, and stray power causes the plane in which she’s travelling to crash in an alien world. An accident? The more she discovers about the world in which she has landed, the more she doubts it. She is a survivor from an ancient race that once travelled the stars. Her ancestors were powerful and dangerous, and it seems at least two people want her: the man who invades her mind, and the man who’s desperate to help her get back home. But Jessica grew up an Earth girl, and isn’t having any of this. She’ll pander to no one, thank you very much, even if her stubbornness enrages the tyrant race who hold the world in their grip.

Blood of Kings

An action-packed new take on Arthurian legend from the eyes of an unexpected protagonist.

Illegitimate Mildred "Mildy" Pendragon wants just one thing: To prove to Camelot that she's as much a warrior as her daddy, King Arthur. With her cowardly Greek squire Ares and metrosexual best friend Lance at her side, she strives to prove her legendary bloodline through knightly deeds. But no matter what she does or who she beats, she cannot seem to win over chivalric society.

On quest to save the fey from destruction by an evil mage, Mildy meets the mother she has never known and learns the bitter truth of her incestuous birth. She continues to fight for good despite her disillusionment, but accidentally kills Arthur's favorite knight and makes a bitter enemy of her father. Can she defy fate and save her family from imploding, or is the saga of the Pendragons destined to end in tragedy?

A full-length novel.

Iron Flower

Action-packed fantasy adventure with a powerhouse female epic warrior in the spirit of Achilles or Beowulf.

Years are only one way to age in this tale of a young warrior whose army-slaying sword belies her kind heart.

One of the greatest fighters in the world, nearly indestructible Rose lets few things strike fear into her--but magic is one of them. Nonetheless, she seeks out the magical dangers left by the ancients alongside warrior partner Finn and curious scholar Derrick in order to protect others from them. Their mission is complicated by Rose and Finn's budding romance, as her choice of lifestyle conflicts with his expectations for the woman he loves. But after their quest pits against such titanic foes as a prince able to slay a thousand men in a day and a draconic archmage, will Rose be forced to embrace the very magic she fears?

Second in the Iron Flower series, but you do not need to have read the first to enjoy this one - either is a great starting point to the adventures of Rose.
