Description

New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky, winner of the Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY....<h1>The Children of Darkness by David Litwack</h1>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series The Seekers. [DRM-Free]<h2>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</h2>“But what are we without dreams?”A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”Be sure to read the second book in this series, The Stuff of Stars, due to release November 30, 2015. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky

"Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds is an anthology featuring brief biographical profiles of fifty-two people who made great and lasting achievements after age fifty-five. From Mother Theresa to Alexander Graham Bell, Albert Einstein, Charles de Gaulle, Pablo Picasso, Grandma Moses and many more, Splendid Seniors offers true tales of inspirational deeds as well as memorable quotes from each individual profiled. A source of inspiration for seniors everywhere, and proof that greatness, creativity, passion, and intelligence can bloom their brightest with age and experience." Midwest Book Review September 2007 Small Press Bookwatch "Jack Adler's new book is great! Splendid Seniors should be in every school library, if not on every required reading list. It contains a lot of things I'd forgotten, as well as many new and interesting facts about the selected "senior achievers." It makes me want to walk up to people and say 'Did you know....?' I found this book to be informative as well as delightful -- a good gift for "juniors" and "seniors." My Dad will be getting a copy for Father's Day!" Pam White Skyland Books West Jefferson, NC. "While having a senior moment means you may have forgotten something, reading Splendid Seniors: Great Lives, Great Deeds is the key to remembering something: the amazing accomplishments made by those over the age of 65. Written by North Hollywood author, playwright and screenwriter Jack Adler, the book recognizes 52 achievers who are recognized for their creativity, political and scientific contributions, personal expression and community involvement. Reading about Alexander Graham Bell, Mary Baker Eddy and Benjamin Disraeli, whose lives were rich with purpose in their later years, is an inspiration to all that it's never too late to pursue a passion. As Frank Lloyd Wright said, "The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes." Valley magazine
