Description:

What do you do when your drastic measures to save your own life result in you becoming a strange, half-undead creature that even other monsters are afraid of? If you’re Jill Hamilton, you start a company dedicated to the study of those monsters—and anything else that looks remotely magical.

What do you do when you lose your best friend when she falls off a bridge in Purgatory? If you’re Clara Nordstern, you try to find the next thing that needs doing. Even if it means confronting your worst fears and your deepest guilt.

What do you do when you get sucked into Hell by the demon Lilith? If you’re Selene Shields, you start walking. One foot in front of the other. Even if it means going right through the center of Hell.

The world of Driving Arcana, always subverted by magic, is becoming openly mythic, and Jill, Clara, and Selene must navigate a landscape increasingly compromised by powers beyond anyone’s expectation—but not, Jill would point out, beyond potential understanding.

This is Wheel 3 of Driving Arcana, Hope in the Forest of Despair. It follows Wheel 2, Paving the Road to Hell, and is comprised of Lightning Does Strike Twice, Moonrise Over Hades, The Hour I First Believed, Hope in the Forest of Despair, Cloth of Man, Blood and Fury, Fear Not, A Cold Day in Hell, and The Great Gate. It also contains a related short story “The Lady in the Gray Suit” which provides a glimpse of the magical mayhem occurring on the opposite side of the globe.

Available in print from: Amazon (paperback), Lulu (hardback) and the Heliopause Webstore

“The Lady in the Gray Suit” is available as a free Audio Special.

  • eBook available from: Amazon Kindle, iTunes, and Kobo

Description:

Professor Odd is a woman with a tentacle-arm growing out of the base of her skull. She likes colorful wigs, fuzzy scarves, pizza, cake, and exploring alternate universes. 

Elo is an anthropomorphic wolf who likes chicken soup, cheese, and following Professor Odd on her adventures. 

Alister Bane was a student at university until he was kidnapped by the sinister Canary Company, and was subsequently rescued by Professor Odd. 

No one really knows what Dave is, but everyone agrees he’s a good tentacle-monster-alien-thing to have on your side when events go haywire, as they are prone to do when, for example, you visit a temporally flexible universe on the verge of implosion, or a magical spaceship that has wandered into the midst of a war, or when the Canary Company finally catches up to you.

Welcome to the multiverse of Professor Odd, where the wildest possibilities are only the beginning of the adventure! The Complete Season Two collects episodes 7-12 of this high-flying science fiction series. It contains:

  • The Dogs of Canary Island
  • Chronostrophe
  • Star Walkers
  • The Thousand Songs
  • Davebot
  • and Cerberus Retired (parts 1 and 2)

It also features exclusive illustrations and the bonus short story “The Rats of Alnitak.”

Available internationally from Amazon Kindle, iTunes, and Kobo

Paperback available from Amazon, Hardback available from Lulu, and signed copies from Heliopause.

Lucena in the House of Madgrin

Heliopause Productions is proud to present:

Lucena in the House of Madgrin

  • FICTION>Fantasy>General
  • FICTION>Fantasy>Historical
  • Author suggests suitability for readers ages 9 and up
  • Compare with Harry Potter, The Chrestomanci Books, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
  • eBook available from: Amazon Kindle, iTunes, and Kobo
  • Paperback available via Amazon, and the Heliopause Webstore
  • Hardback available on Lulu!

Description:

Lucena Clarian Ashmoor has never hatched a feathered serpent from an egg. She has never befriended a sombulus—a monster that looks like a giant spider, eats darkness, and likes reading books. She has never ridden a magic horse. She has spent all her life with relatives who would prefer she were elsewhere, and so sent her away to the nastiest school imaginable. There she has been bullied, and told so many times that she was dumb and fat and useless that she almost came to believe it. She has never been popular, and never done anything remotely heroic.

All this changes the night a vampire attacks her school and Lucena is tumbled into a world wider, darker, more magical and more mysterious than any she could have imagined. Here she will find the forgotten egg, meet the shade-eating spider, ride the black mare with coal-fire eyes, fight vampires, dance with fairies, and find—in time—that she might be a hero after all.
