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.

eBooks available internationally from: Amazon Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo

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.

Paving the Road to Hell – Driving Arcana Wheel 2

Heliopause Productions is proud to present:

PAVING THE ROAD TO HELL: Driving Arcana, Wheel 2

  • FICTION>Fantasy>General
  • FICTION>Fantasy>Urban Fantasy
  • Author suggests suitability for readers ages 12 and up
  • Compare with American Gods and Supernatural
  • eBook available from:  Amazon Kindle, iTunes iBooks and Kobo
  • Paperback available from: Amazon and the Heliopause Webstore (periodically)
  • NEW: Hardback available from Lulu

Description:

What do you do when the supernatural world crashes—suddenly, violently, devastatingly—into yours? If you are Jill Hamilton, you drop out of UC Santa Cruz, use your inherited savings to hire a couple monster hunters as bodyguards, get in your dead boyfriend’s truck, and you go out and study it. Of course. Even if your bodyguards tell you some things are better left un-studied. Even if unicorns are real and bloodthirsty. Even if summoning old, forgotten gods has detrimental effects on the state of reality. Because beyond killing monsters and helping people, Jill Hamilton wants to understand why the world she thought she knew is actually so much deeper, darker, and downright magical than it has any right to be.

Welcome to the world of Driving Arcana, where even the painfully boring and mundane aspects of everyday life are underlaid by a subtle current of inexplicable magic, and three women are on a mission to find out how it all works. Even if two of them would really rather not.

Wheel 2 of Driving Arcana, Paving the Road to Hell follows Wheel 1, By Moon and Star. It collects all the stories from Rotations Four, Five and Six, and adds “The Five Bodies of Tamerlain Pierce” at the end, which serves as a link between this Wheel and the next.

By Moon and Star – Driving Arcana Wheel 1

Heliopause Productions is proud to present:

BY MOON AND STAR: Driving Arcana, Wheel 1

  • FICTION>Fantasy>Contempory
  • FICTION>Fantasy>Dark Fantasy
  • Author suggests suitability for readers ages 12 and up

  • eBook available from:  Amazon Kindle, Kobo, iTunes and NOOK
  • Paperback available from: Amazon and Barnes and Noble
  • NEW: Hardback available from Lulu!

Description:

Welcome to a world where the natural and the supernatural mingle—sometimes with devastating results. Selene Shields and Clara Nordstern know this world, have seen everything from werewolves to witches, ghosts, ghouls, and even an angel. But they’ve never seen anything quite like Jill Hamilton, a grad student from UC Santa Cruz, whose reaction to losing her boyfriend in a rabid chimera attack is to go out and study the very things normal humans are supposed to ignore.

So begins the saga of Driving Arcana: three women in a big truck, chasing unicorns, interviewing vampires, and hunting monsters—to fight evil, protect humanity, but mostly, for science.

BY MOON AND STAR contains all the stories from Rotations One, Two and Three, plus a tie-in short story that further illuminates the subversively magical world of Driving Arcana.
