This is a spot where I will list the 50 books for this project as I publish them. I will add the newer books to the top. Before each title will be a number that indicates the number in the project, not the number it may be in a given series (Those are indicated by Book 1, Book 2, etc. after the title where they are needed.) The list of possible books is listed at the end of the page.

(50!!) News from the Front
(Science Fiction)
If you can't help your own people...
Freelance reporter Alyn Naevon has started making a name for himself by covering stories about the oppressed people on different worlds. Vidline News, the top reporting service in the Inner Words, wants to hire him to report on the civil unrest on Tempest. It's the chance of a lifetime. Unfortunately, Tempest is the one world Alyn should avoid. Vidline News doesn't give these chances twice, and the assignment could lead to a coveted permanent position. Just go in, file a few reports, and get out. How difficult could it be?
He might survive ... as long as no one on either side of the trouble looks too closely at him.
(49)Tales from Elsewhere
(Urban Fantasy)
Mark had known his life would change after high school, but he had expected the changes to wait until graduation, at least.
Then he killed the sheriff's son in self-defense. Sheriff Creston wasn't going to believe that his son had turned into a monster with fangs, fur, and claws, so Mark rushed to escape through the gate into Elsewhere and hide for a while. However, from the moment Mark reached the gate things turned worse, and now it seems as though everything in the magical realm is out to get him -- and it has nothing to do with what happened back in the human world.
Originally written as three flash fiction serials on my Joyously Prolific Blog, this new version has been expanded and (I hope) the inconsistencies corrected.
So welcome to the crazy life of Mark Ward, his fae-employed cousin Maggie, and Edmond, the talking cat. They -- and you -- are in for an adventure or two.

Sixteen-year-old Faith St. Aubin -- whose mother is black and father is white -- is about to have her only-child life upset by the arrival of her cousin Logan, a skinhead whose barely polite answers and secretive actions point to a lot of trouble. How is she supposed to deal with someone like him in her own home?
But maybe things aren't as clearcut as they seem....
(47) Rat Pirates
(Science Fiction)
What happens when you introduce the dangerous Port Rat gangs of Caliente (Badlands) to the ingenious Lindy Pirates of the Aquila Fringe (Vita's Vengeance)? You get a whole new level of danger and adventure!

(46) Written in the Sand
(Fantasy)
The Gods are returning and bringing chaos with them.
The only hope of survival the desert tribes have lies with the ancient Standard of the Gods and the mysterious powers it holds. However, getting the Standard to the sacred city of Tiamarta isn't going to be an easy journey, especially for Gareth, a man born in the northern lands of mountains and snow, and now one of the two men who has taken an oath to see the Standard to safety.
With enemies on all sides and chaos closing in, anything can happen. The future is written in the sand, and a change of wind can change -- or erase -- everything.

When the All-Mother lets Circe know that she must help Tiernan, the best she can do is to send her friends to protect him, though they cannot go in their animal forms.

Lord Micalus Raventower is a genius at creating clockwork creatures and tinkering with steampunk engines, but that doesn’t explain why Atiran assassins are suddenly intent on killing him. Lt. Merriweather is assigned to protect Lord Raventower, a role she initially resents since it takes her away from the castle and any chance of advancement to the King's Guard.
Trouble is brewing for the city of Kamere. Atrian warships stand off the coast, and there are enemies even within the ranks of the nobility itself. Merriweather and the eccentric young lord will have quite a job keeping him alive as well as hiding his more unusual secrets.

A curse to destroy the world . . . .
Eons ago powerful mages cursed all magical beings to walk the land only in the dead of the night.

Gradually growing to despise all magic, they have even turned against the mages and outlawed their powerful art.
However, now an evil that will not be stopped by mere locked doors is stalking the humans.

With the final confrontation against the demon Gix looming closer, Aubreyan and Tristan seek a short time of peace to recover from their battles. However, Gix moves too quickly, and now the two, along with their allies, are forced into a running war to save other friends whom Gix has targeted.
But Gix has made a mistake. Abby is gathering an army of believers who will follow him even to Gix’s own hell.
(1) Hope in Hell (Book 8, The Dark Staff Series)
The final battle . . . .
Abby’s attempt to keep the others from the final battle only makes them more determined to join him -- at whatever the risk to themselves. As they face the demon at last, Abby is all too aware that his friends are both his strength and his weakness... and he knows they cannot all survive.
Below is a list of books, in alphabetical order, that are potential candidates for the 50 years of novels that I need. As I produce them, I'll mark them off the list.
