When the Black Out happens, the Old World is No More

Sam Turnover is a member of a network that’s been prepared for when the power grid goes down.

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

This is the first installment of my Shattered series. I’ve come to call the genre a political drama.

A solar flare knocks out the power grid. There’s a chain reaction in a nuclear facility that blows up the entire northeastern seaboard, sending Washington, D.C., to kingdom come.

In the wake of this devastation, a neighbourhood network asserts its authority over the couple of streets on which its members reside.

Naturally, the military and violent gangs attempt to overrun it, but the people stick together and fend off the invaders.

Samuel Turnover is second-in-command of the network and discusses with his leader plans to form a new nation.

Will it go through? Can there really be new nations, free and independent, on the North American continent?

Is the United States of America gone for good?

This series consists of five short novellas and they were actually sparked from a pseudo-future-history article I wrote.

I wrote the article as if I were a historian in the future relating the events of the Black Out the following North American War. Then, friends told me I should write the actually series.

So I did.

Welcome to volume 1, Collapse. Come join my characters as they play a major role in the history of this western hemisphere.

The Beginning of a Royal Line

This high fantasy is the first novella in an old series about a family’s generations…

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

I wrote and published this book years ago, hard to believe. Since then, I’ll be open, I haven’t given it much promotion. That’s more a problem with my focusing on the next project then the next one after that and not giving each book its needed attention after publication.

I published it and decided, if it does well, I’ll write the next several books and publish them.

Well, it’s only sold a few copies and that’s my fault.

So, I’m trying to make up for that today with the book trailer above and this short discussion.

Wilyon is a Clan Chieftain in the nation of Lykaenia. The nation is a very loose territory with pockets of clans being ruled by their on Chiefs. Lykaenia has no sense of itself at the moment.

But, the question proposed to Wilyon has him stumbling through the wilderness contemplating a future for the young nation.

With an invader on their northern border, the Lykaenian council recognises their need for a strong national government and they want a king.

Can Wilyon accept the new crown? Can he begin a new era for his nation? Can he lead his peoples in defense of the kingdom against the invaders?

Depending on the outcome of this story, a dynasty could be formed for Lykaenia.

This story does not take place on the planet Earth by the way.

Each book is planned to bring a new generation onto the stage. Wilyon’s descendents take on the family name of Restour. If you read this book and like it, maybe you’ll find out why they choose that name.

He is in search of his mate.

By Divine guidance, Tiras is led to Egypt where he meets the Pharaoh Amenemhet. This is before the time of the Hebrews enslavement! Yes, that far back.

A Lost Soul is Found, can He be Saved?

In the Realm of Irkalla, a sort of in-between place for lost souls, the Immortals head to save their friend.

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

This last installment in this Magic-ruled, alternate timeline, historical fantasy, Falling Star’s Rebirth brings us to the edge of a cataclysmic war between the Ancient gods and the rest of the Earth tribes.

Having lost someone very dear to their hearts, the Immortals must force the surviving Ancients to take them to this lost realm.

It was known to the ancient Etruscans as Irkalla. It’s a dimension where souls, who are lost and not necessarily supposed to have died, wander. It also depends on their perspective whether this place is a Paradise of Hell.

Can the Immortals find Irkalla? Can they rescue their friend?

There are several questions this finale will answer as we tie up this ten-book series.

If you’ve been collecting them, I hope you’ve enjoyed them and find this finale satisfying. I hope it is a bittersweet farewell for you as it was for me.

Colin is back and so are They

The world’s history has changed so much, someone has returned, ready to usurp the planet.

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

This is the ninth and second-to-last installment in my flagship series. This is a dark fantasy novella serial that takes us back in time to a Magic-ruled Earth and a different timeline with no Technology, but plenty of mythical monsters and beings.

After the last book’s heart-wrenching episode, this book lets loose a whole new cast of characters on top of our heroes.

Will the Immortals manage to come out of this approaching war with the victory?

Also, I can’t bring it up because it would be a spoiler, if you haven’t read the latest books. But, there is a plot twist at the end of the last book that plays a major role in this book. It was gut-punching when I wrote it.

I even had tears in my eyes when I was editing and rewriting!

So you know it’s good, right?

If you haven’t watched the trailer yet, hop on over to YouTube and watch it. Most of these daily episodes are averaging around two minutes and fifty seconds. Very short!

I don’t believe in wasting people’s time. I think that’s long enough to grab your attention and share what I got and give you the choice to order a copy or sign up or subscribe!

If you haven’t subscribed or signed up, please do. I’d hate for you to miss out on any deals in the near future. You will also be able to keep up to date with everything going on in my author life.

Tune in tomorrow for the final novella in my flagship series. After that, there are plenty more books coming and I get to share them with you!

The Fires are Gone, a New World is Here

The Immortals are now discovering this strange new world, how will the combat the new evils?

By John Irvin

          Today’s trailer can be found through this link to my YouTube channel! Click through to watch the short little reel.

After the hellish conflicts from the last book, are you ready for a break?

Do you think Gael, Jenna, Jessica, and Levi are too? They’re home again, been back for a decade since the conflict with the burning Deadlands and the creation of a new continent.

But, now, upon a chance visit to their Zerzuran Mansion, they discover there’s a new cult in town and, possibly, a new deity.

Who is this false god no one has ever heard of before, but so many are ready to worship him—even kill in his name?

There are two cities on this new continent, named after ancient mythic cities, they’re following in their namesake’s footsteps.

Prosperity and peace are all they’ve known, but naturally, nothing good can last, right?

If you’ve been following along with this series, you’ll know this is the eighth installment to my dark fantasy series set in an alternate historical timeline ruled by Magic instead of Tech.

I hope you’re enjoying these books!
