FREE today on Amazon Kindle, Last Days and Times, by Stephan Michael Loy

The age of apocalypse is upon us. Fundamentalists and new age thinkers of all stripes are convinced the world will end within the office of the new — and they think last — Catholic pope.

Leveraging that hysteria, Arthur Davidson, a radio evangelist, rises to prominence while promising salvation through him alone. But Davidson guards a startling secret, one that drives him to force the Bible’s apocalyptic prophesies to fruition. He procures ten tactical nuclear weapons stolen from a Russian Army facility and attempts to use them to bring about the end of all time.

Davidson’s nemesis is Sally Reiser, a Jew disillusioned with God, whom she blames for the handicap of her six-year-old autistic son. She’s the last of a line of seers, a family gifted to witness the work of God, no matter how beautiful or terrible.

Sally allies with an unlikely hodgepodge of Davidson’s enemies including Gary LaMonte, a doctoral candidate who has written a thesis on post-millennialism, the effect of the dawning millennium on the mass psyche.

Rosa Vasquez is the FBI’s lead agent in the government’s fight against Davidson’s terrorist network, code-named Bible Scholar.

Together, these imperfect heroes combat Davidson’s mad plans, risking everything to save the planet, save each other and save the anchors of their souls.

Harmonic resonance: noise into music, words into literature.

From science fiction to satire, from military fiction to romantic comedy, from short stories to long novellas, Harmonic RES speaks with a unified voice on the enduring question of human nature.

Journey to Mars, once in horror of the plumbed depths of despair and again to find magic in the search for identity. Explore the desert battleground of Iraq.

Please forgive me, you’ll probably get a more than a few posts like this from me today. It’s because I am proud of what we have accomplished.

Now more than ever, you have choices when it comes to what media you want to consume. The media mega-corps keep churning out crap designed to appeal to fourteen-year-old girls, because they can get them to all think the same and buy the same thing. It’s not enough for them to sell hundreds or thousands of copies, they have to sell millions.

Thankfully, it’s easier than ever to find independent artists at places like Deviant Art, Bandcamp, and even the book-store-killing behemoth, Amazon. Independent artists don’t need to sell millions. They can produce thought-provoking works aimed at adults, but they need your help. We don’t have the money for huge advertising campaigns and star promotions, we rely on you.

Have I told you about Mid-World Arts? I’ve been running a writer’s group for over four years now. Last December, a couple of us got together with an idea. We were sick of the way traditional publishers treated writers like crap. Plus, we knew there was an audience for our stuff, but maybe not wide enough for a publisher to bother with.

We decided to self-publish, and also help each other out while we did. Mid-World Arts is not a company, it’s not a traditional publisher, we call it an “authors’ studio” where writers can come together and share resources and cross-promote each other’s books.

The great thing about it for you the reader, is that you don’t have to suffer some of the crap often found in self-publishing. You don’t have to worry about buying a book that’s got massive spelling errors and shoddy grammar, because we check and re-check each other’s books before we publish.

I am proud to tell you about my fellow Mid-World Artists because I know they write great books, and they helped make my books better.

Right now, Mid-World consists of myself (James L. Wilber), Stephan Michael Loy, and Dick Thomas.
