The Underdogs by Isaac Kan

 

Contemporary Fiction

Date Published: 9/26/24






















 

 

The Underdogs was inspired by my time building a tech startup during the golden era of San Francisco, when Uber and Lyft were just getting started and battling it out. It’s a coming-of-age, immigrant story following a set of characters who are all trying to create a better future for themselves, for society, and escape their pasts.

Readers have shared that this story reminds them of The Prestige. Two geniuses, who came from nothing, competing against each other in a market that preys upon those who also come from nothing. Others have reflected on the story as a cautionary tale that stands the test of time — How “the few, the chosen” may end up taking advantage of the very same people who they grew up with.

While recovering from Mordred's reign of terror and the departure of King Arthur, Pip foresees a new enemy breaching the shores of Britain: a fleet of Northmen led by the ruthless Halfdan Ragnarsson.

The Mage

Merlin’s Apprentice Book 1  

Twelve-year-old Pip must embrace his magical powers to rescue his family from slavery—or help the king save the realm—a decision that will tear his world apart.

Desperate to keep his family together, Pip hides his power so he can be sold with them. But when his father and brother are sold to different mages and the slavers attempt to separate his mother and sister, Pip loses control and injures a slaver with magic. The uproar catches the attention of the southern king’s druid advisor, Merlin, who quickly offers a place to Pip, his sister, and his mother. On the road to King Arthur’s court, bandits attack their camp, and his family is further torn apart. Pip has no choice but to work with Merlin—who may not be the evil mage Pip assumes him to be—to learn to harness his powers so he can help King Arthur stop Mordred. Only then might Pip have a chance to see his family together again.

A Not So Merry Ex-Mas by Abby Greyson

 

 

 Romance, Romantic Comedy, Clean & Wholesome

Date Published: October 2, 2024

 






















 

This is a Dual POV kisses only, sweet holiday romantic comedy.

 

 

For years I've been dreaming of a real Christmas back home. Tree trimming, decorating, Christmas carols. What I wasn't expecting was Cole.

 

If I was to dream up the perfect man even my wildest imagination would have fallen short compared to Cole Nichols.

Tall, broad shoulders, smile to die for and dreamy green eyes that held a mischievous glint.

Add in a heart of gold, always helping others in need.

We had planned out every detail of our lives together…including his dream of becoming a major league pitcher.

So when my gran got sick and I needed to take care of her, I gave him the push he needed, breaking my heart, and his, in the process.

A decade, and a divorce later, I'm heading back home to start my life over.

That new start begins with Christmas at my best friend’s cabin…and the man I’ve done everything to leave behind.

 

 

Is Christmas past here to haunt me, or to bring a future I stopped letting myself dream of?

 

 

This is a sweet, kisses only, holiday romantic comedy with a second chance, close proximity, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, slow burn, and happily ever after.

The Memory Chest by Robert Leventhal

 


Poetry

Date Published: May 23, 2024

Publisher: Mindstir Media





















 

With an unmistakable voice and a depth of presence, Leventhal's work zooms out and back inward, taking stock of it all. His poems survey the surrounding landscapes: be it historical, natural, political, or emotional. They reflect on love and loss with vulnerability, and on the prospect of aging with optimism and gratitude. They travel centuries back in time and simultaneously ask the question of what it means to be alive in the world today. Years of leadership in the Jewish community provides him access to Biblical language and wisdom. The artwork that accompanies the poems creates and elegant conversation between visual art and poetry. There is a deep reverence within many of these works that is balanced out by Leventhal's refusal to take himself too seriously, his zest for life, beaming in words and brushstrokes from these pages. (Dakota Read- Editor)

EXCERPT

The urge to measure your worth against others is ever-present, especially today, with the heavy influence of social media. Unfortunately, this constant comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Instead of falling into this trap, embrace self-love and celebrate your uniqueness. Remember, each of you is unique, with your own strengths, passions, and quirks. When you compare yourself to others, you're often comparing your behind-the-scenes with their highlight reel. This comparison is unfair and unrealistic. Everyone has their struggles, even if they don’t openly share them. 

The key is to embrace what makes you different and celebrate your individuality instead of trying to conform to others' expectations. Change your mindset: Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own journey.
