A fate-reading dancer struggles to make her most important vision come true. Everyone in Dzune had always assumed Tay could tell fortunes, that her milky eyes let her see what others couldn't. Villagers brought gifts in exchange for her wisdom and treated it as the ironclad word of the Sun Father. There was only one problem: Tay couldn't actually see the future. Not at all initially, and only a little after her awakening. She'd had a true vision once, though, an image of her—armed and angry—safeguarding a strange man on a green hill. And now that man had come to Dzune. Please note: - The Battle Dancer won an Honorable Mention from the Writers of the Future Contest in 2014. - This novella doesn’t fully resolve on its own—it’s meant as a lead-in to The Red Wraith.
A rabble-rouser with burn scars marring his neck and face. A runaway slave who limps and mutters to himself. Another exile, this one riddled with pockmarks and accompanied by a dirty seagull. A dowser who braids her hair in elaborate patterns threaded with blue flowers. What do these outcasts—these reluctant witches and warlocks and shamans—have in common? They're about to find out. And the truth will cause them to love, fight, and kill each other. Please note: - An earlier version of this novella won an Honorable Mention from the Writers of the Future Contest in 2015. - The current iteration doesn't fully resolve on its own—it's meant as a lead-in to The Red Wraith (a full-length novel set in an alternate Early America).

Magic awakens in Early America.

But the nature of those talents is both light and dark.And so the legend of the Red Wraith begins.On the island of Bimshire, Naysin inspires a slave rebellion before abandoning it; near his former home, he marches European settlers to their deaths; and in the forests of Edgeland, he ends a battle by massacring both sides.

The infamy is well-earned, but when Naysin encounters a group of fellow magic-users, he realizes he may yet have a chance to set things right.He just has to conquer the only thing that ensures his survival: the dual facets of his father.

Charles wasn't ready for this. He knew working at a group home for mentally handicapped residents--many of whom have additional diagnoses like Down syndrome, Tourette's, and paranoid schizophrenia--would be hard. The hours would be long, the pay would be low, the food would suck. But he had no idea how much he'd like it. Or how much he'd grow up while he worked there.

A riveting and unexpected novel that questions whether a peaceful and non- violent community can survive when civilization falls apart. Again, all are asleep, but I am not. I need sleep, but though I read and I pray, I feel too awake. My mind paces the floor. There are shots now and again, bursts here and there, far away, and I cannot sleep. I think of this man in his hunger, shot like a rabbit raiding a garden. For what, Lord? For stealing corn intended for pigs and cattle, like the hungry prodigal helpless in a strange land. I can hear his voice. When a catastrophic solar storm brings about the collapse of modern civilization, an Amish community is caught up in the devastating aftermath. With their stocked larders and stores of supplies, the Amish are unaffected at first. But as the English (the Amish name for all non-Amish people) in the cities become increasingly desperate, they begin to invade nearby farms, taking whatever they want and unleashing unthinkable violence on the gentle communities. Written as the diary of an Amish farmer named Jacob who tries to protect his family and his way of life, When the English Fall examines the idea of peace in the face of deadly chaos. Should members of a nonviolent society defy their beliefs and take up arms to defend themselves? And if they do, can they survive? David Williams’s debut novel is a thoroughly engrossing look into the closed world of the Amish, as well as a thought-provoking examination of how we live today and what remains if the center cannot hold.
