Chronicles of the High Inquest: Homeworld of the Heart
Chronicles of the High Inquest:
Homeworld of the Heart:
The Fifth Novel in the Inquestor Series
After forty years, S.P. Somtow has produced a fifth novel in the Chronicles of the High Inquest, one of the most lauded galactic empire epics of the 1980s. Critically acclaimed yet never previously in print as a complete set, the series has passionate adherents — and they have finally persuaded the author to enrich the universe with more novels. Homeworld of the Heart is the first of a trilogy within a trilogy.
The songs of Sajit were known and loved through the million worlds of the Dispersal of Man. He was the favorite of Elloran, most powerful, most compassionate of the godlike Inquestors — even, it was rumored, his lover. In his old age, Ton Elloran visits a backwater planet that purports to contain the tomb of Sajit. A nostalgic visit to his childhood companion birth planet, however, reveals that everything he thought he knew about his closest friend was wrong — and that there were at least two Sajits, their stories bifurcating and melding in an ever more complex skein of memory, desire, and loss. Homeworld of the Heart begins in a small village in a backworld — where a microscopic glitch in Inquestral management has caused two contradictory games of majrúgh to be played out. People bins are raining from the sky, a city is devouring another city, and a goddess must learn to become a whore as cultures and worlds clash.
The Inquestor Series is like Game of Thrones — but on a galactic scale. For twenty centuries, the godlike Inquestors have ruled the million worlds of the Dispersal of Man, keeping all its disparate civilizations in precarious balance by playing the star-destroying game of makrúgh.
Theodore Sturgeon said "Somtow deals with the greatest magnitude of concept since Stapledon … I deeply envy anyone who has not read the tale of the Inquestors, for they have before them this transcendent experience."
Orson Scott Card said of this series, "he can create a world with less apparent effort than some writers devote to creating a small room …" and in HOMEWORLD OF THE HEART Somtow revisits and vastly expands the teeming landscape of the Inquestor series.

Royals at War: The Untold Story of Harry and Meghan's Shocking Split with the House of Windsor
Royals at War:
The Untold Story of Harry and Meghan's Shocking Split with the House of Windsor
Reveals Shocking Revelations about Prince Harry, Megan Markle, and the British Royal Family—and the Divisive Rifts Between Them
This explosive exposé, Royals at War, takes readers inside a riven Buckingham Palace to provide the definitive account of the unfolding abdication crisis of 2020—dubbed Megxit—during which the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, became royal outcasts.
Through revealing interviews with royal family insiders, friends, aides, historians, royal watchers, and others with intimate knowledge of The House of Windsor, this tell-all book looks back at the events, motives and crises which led to Harry (sixth in line to the throne) dramatically abandoning his birthright—in a move not seen for nearly a century, when King Edward VIII also gave up the crown for the woman he loved as Europe teetered on the brink of fascism and war. Like Edward and Wallis Simpson, the catalyst for the scandal here is also an ambitious, controversial American woman.
Dylan Howard, bestselling author of Diana: Case Solved and Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales, charts how Meghan’s relationship with Harry was viewed as controversial from the start—and how her brief honeymoon with the British public began to sour shortly after she and Harry announced in November 2018 that they would be leaving Kensington Palace to move to Frogmore Cottage, an hour outside London. As senior royals expressed disapproval, the public at first seemed to enjoy the royal spat, with many still supporting Team Meghan—until it emerged that the bill to renovate Frogmore Cottage to Meghan’s lavish expectations would be $3 million . . . and be picked up by British taxpayers.
Finally, in a move nobody saw coming, Harry announced he was turning his back on the role he had been groomed for since birth—giving up his HRH title, repaying the renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage, abandoning his royal duties, and leaving Britain for good. Buckingham Palace reeled.
Howard’s unique access and insight into this constitutional crisis will not only address the tensions and tantrums behind closed palace doors, but seek to answer the questions many are still asking:
- Has Prince Harry ever really recovered from the death of his mother Diana—and the resentment he feels against the institution that tried to destroy her?
- Why did Meghan, once hailed as a breath of fresh air, rile up the monarchy?
- Why did she refuse to conform to royal conventions in the way that Catherine did before her?
- Did the public and media criticism of Meghan go too far? And just how valid are the accusations of racism?
- How did these modern royals treat the tabloids differently to tradition? And did it backfire?
- What next for Harry and Meghan? And how will they—and the institution they’ve turned their back on—react to their new lives outside the confines of the Palace and free from the strict codes and conventions that bind all members of the Royal Family?
Caught in a trap by virtue of a life entombed in a gilded cage, Royals at War answers these questions and more . . . and reveals how Harry’s infatuation with Meghan and desire to modernize the monarchy could yet end in disaster for the House of Windsor. Played out against the cataclysm of the British tabloid's laser focus on the duchess’ every movement—for good or ill—this is the true story of Harry and Meghan’s split from the Establishment . . . and perhaps just the beginning of a whole new Monarchy, redefined for the modern age.

The Trip to Redden Lake
Allison Fellman dreams of rabbits. Not the cuddly kind—the kind that kill. Her nightmares reveal fragments of a childhood memory which took place on the family farm. She remembers her parents were arguing; she ran outside into the darkness and there they were—watching her—laughing at her. Rabbits. Or were they men? Or demons? And to make matters worse, her dad went missing shortly after. Is there a connection?
To put together the broken pieces of her past, she travels to the location where her dad was last seen, a scenic vacation spot called “Redden Lake.” A gambler and ruthless thug, few people of the isolated town have anything nice to say about him. Undaunted, she keeps asking around but only manages to get the attention of a masked man, who despite his odd appearance, is popular among the other cabin owners.
A member of a mysterious underground club of people who wear animal masks, the intriguing stranger distracts her from the search for the truth as they explore his secret world, a world her dad once occupied. After a mutilated body is found in the forest, the masked man reveals his true violent nature and a need for revenge for his own troubled past. Will she be held to blame for her father’s misdeeds?
Darkly humorous, unnerving, and tragic—The Trip to Redden Lake is an ominous tale that pushes the boundary between reality and self-deception.

The Uncomfortable Truth: Hard Facts Plus Tips and Techniques For Advancing in God and Life!
The Uncomfortable Truth:
Hard Facts Plus Tips and Techniques
For Advancing in God and Life!
Telling the truth verses a comfortable lie has always been my motto. In this book I delve into the harsh realities of being black and a believer of the Bible. The uncomfortable truth is even though I'm a human being, a believer in God, I'm still a black man in America. The rulers of this world are trying their best to indoctrinate us all with types of lies jammed down our throats via television and social media. From toxic masculinity to the feminization of the black man. To using music and celebrities to inadvertently make our children clones of a negative stereotypical image, that if not corrected could lead to our ultimate downfall. This book is admittedly bold, a bit controversial to some and that's ok. Sometimes you have to stir the pot to get much needed conversations going on in the church and the world at large. In this book I'm raising the bar from your typical sugarcoated "Christian" literature you maybe used to. Today, everyone is overly concerned with being politically correct even as a believer. This is not the time to be passive when lives are literally being snatched away in the black community daily. Someone has to tell it like it is and I believe I was chosen to be that voice. To hear most scholars tell it black people weren't even significant in the Bible outside of being slaves in there too. And people wonder why some black people are not open to hearing the "Good News". To me the answer is simple if you can't relate, you can't participate. In addition to exposing some uncomfortable truths this book is filled with solutions. I've included tips, tricks and techniques to help you eliminate self defeating thoughts that hinder your progress. The purpose of this book is not to give you a reason to give up but a reason to get up! In spite of the obstacles you face just for being black we serve a mighty God who can and will tip the scales in your favor so you too can be a winner!

Fuck'em Writing what you really want to say before, after, and during a breakup.
This book is not meant to bash men but simply to empower other women as I
learn to take my power back.
So many times we give so much of ourselves in a relationship only to leave with nothing left.
I wrote this book of poetry to inspire you as life has inspired me.
We have to start expecting more out of the relationships that we choose to be in.
No matter what we deserve to be respected as a woman, a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, and even as a girlfriend.
You deserve so much more,
You are worth so much more,
You deserve to experience a love like never before and you should know that until that love finds you it’s ok to walkaway from anything less than what your heart desires.
