The purpose of books written by Val Grian is to charge you with positive energy and to enrich your life with all kinds of emotions.

Tramps, Thieves and IT by Val Grian

The events take place in the United States. Arrogant smuggler Alan and a shy homeless guy called George are the main characters of the book.

At some point, Lady Luck decided that she had paid too much attention to ungrateful Alan, and completely neglected George for no reason. “It looks like now is the high time to correct this injustice,” she thought once. Being very vigorous and determined, Lady Luck put the idea into action immediately. Which meant seismic changes in the lives of both main characters. And one of them didn’t like those changes at all…

So what happened to Alan and George? Well, the answer is in the book. As a bonus you will also find out what happened to Hitler in hell and what the Devil and the English Queen have in common.

The story is almost based on real events. Some of them already took place in real life. Some are about to happen. Who knows, maybe to you.

About the author, Val Grian:

Val Grian is a pseudonym. My real name is Valery Hrykyan.
I have a degree of an English teacher, but have never worked as one. Luckily for schoolchildren, I’ve worked as an iceman, tourist agent, fishing gear salesman, logistics manager, IT project manager, a CEO of an IT company and investor.
As you can see, my career has been very diverse and so has my writing – historical fantasy, contemporary fiction, poetry and so on.
The purpose of my books is to charge you with positive energy and to enrich your life with all kinds of emotions. Sometimes they’ll make you feel sad, quite often they will make you laugh, but never indifferent.
I work hard to make my books as good as I can, because I want you to enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them.

About the author of the Dark Gods series, Arthur King:

I’m an indy Fantasy writer, from Australia now living in London or somewhere like Cambodia or Thailand if the visa office is giving me a hard time. Arthur King is a pen name as i also write some much less bloody stuff under my own name.

My aim as a writer is to create original things. Maybe a new creature or power or look at something like vampires and demons in different ways. The dream would be in 20 years people i don’t know are making movies and writing books about something i originally came up with. Like Bram Stoker for vampires, or Romaro for zombies.

I write grimdark and gritty adventure fantasy. I like a hero with a heart of gold and a blood drenched sword. My favorite authors are Joe Abercrombie, H P Lovecraft and Tanith Lee. I have also clocked around 200 hours on skyrim and like fantasy games, i might write a lit-rpg book one day soon.

I have lot of books. The Dark gods series, Monsters & Man, and vicky vs. Lots of my books are free for review.

Celluloid by Holly Curtis

Jimmy Clifford is a thirty-year-old movie addict and film memorabilia shop owner. He is also very fed up. He is fed up with his best friend Oswald’s stupid, made-up card games, his drug dealer Pluto’s novelty drugs are losing their novelty and his anti-depressants don’t appear to be working anymore.

But when he discovers that the Crypt – a local, independent cinema that he regards as his ‘spiritual home’ – is to be demolished, he feels compelled to act. Getting together with his friends and a fellow shop owner they decide upon an idea – there will be a ‘Save the Crypt’ cabaret night (featuring local performers) to highlight the situation and raise money in the process.

All Jimmy has to do for his part is get out and find seven acts in two months – not so easy when you’re an agoraphobic and you’re up against giant egos and a psychotic property developer.

Silver Mage by CM Debell

In the first age of Andeira, men and dragons brought together the two halves of the elemental magic of the world to create a union through which their magic, and the world, could support and renew itself. When war broke out, that union was destroyed – deliberately severed by the ancient mages in a desperate attempt to stop their enemies. They knew the price of their actions: the dragons would disappear from Andeira until such time as it would be safe for them to return, stripping the world of half the elemental magic it needed to survive.

What the mages did not realise was that their enemies would survive the severing of the bond, threatening the prophecy created by the dragons to ensure their return in a later age. Three thousand years on, the world is slowly dying, and the dragons have been forgotten by all but a few. This is the story of one man’s search across their ancient homeland, and his desperate bid to fulfil the prophecy and bring the dragons back into the world.

About the author, CM Debell:

After completing a degree in Theology, a six month trip to Australia ended up as a four year expedition around Australia, New Zealand and Asia. C.M.Debell has worked as a journalist since her return to the UK and now edits a successful trade publication.
