Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

About Jitsuroku Ju: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi

Told in the context of a life long feud between Musashi and his arch rival, Sasaki Kojiro Ganryu, this epic life story centered around revenge is a version of Miyamoto Musashi’s life story you do not want to miss!

A special full length book and the 10th installment of Justin Hagen’s Jitsuroku series, The Life of Miyamoto Musashi retells Walter Dening’s version of Musashi’s life with updated commentary shedding new light on the life of this influential figure in Japanese and martial arts history.

Since Dening’s time, a great deal more research has been conducted about the life of Miyamoto Musashi, master swordsman turned legend. With such studies it would appear that while a significant portion of Dening’s work at face value appears mainly to be fictional, there still seems to be layers and fragments of true aspects of Musashi’s life intermingled with other personages throughout history. As such, additional commentary, a new Foreword and new Afterword have been added to the original story in an attempt to bridge the gap between fact and fiction to bring historical context to this version of Musashi’s life.

Available for only $0.99 for Kindle!

Only One Death by Alexander M Crow

About Only One Death by Alexander M Crow

A permafree introduction to the dark and dangerous fantasy world of The Lesser Evil.

If he does not find a way to save them, Dhinal knows his people will die. Every single one of them.

The apprentice shaman has travelled for years, searching for the answer, along the way gathering a ragtag band of misfits, each harbouring secrets of their own. The latest member of this group, Strings, is running from something, her dreams haunted by flames and terror.

Together, they arrive in the bustling city of Eastsea, seeking a guide to the legendary and lost Amethyst Mountains.

Kees is tired of the city. She knows it is slowly killing her and longs to seek solitude in wild places, far away from the noise and stench of others.

Dhinal and Kees understand the wilderness does not care about you, it simply exists. Whether you live, or whether you die, is up to you, to your companions and to sheer chance. Winter is whispering in the high places, dangers-unknown abound in the forests, and fractures begin to appear in the group itself.

The truth, Dhinal knows, is that there are many ways to die, but only one death. And this journey will test them all, in ways they could not possibly imagine.

At its heart, Only One Death takes the well-loved trope of a group of adventurers on a quest, then turns this upside down and inside out, demonstrating how danger, secret motives and hidden desires can swiftly tear apart the strongest of groups — and Dhinal’s group is not the strongest. Not by a long way.

This free novella also contains a link to a further free bonus tale, Dust and Death, featuring some of the characters from Only One Death.

The Mists of Arathia by J.N. Ward

About The Mists of Arathia by J.N. Ward

NPCs aren’t supposed to gain skills. They don’t go on monster-slaying adventures. But levelling up is their only chance of escaping the Mists…

Three years ago, the Mists devoured Arathia and killed two-thirds of the population. Those like Rey who survived the mysterious fog were permanently branded and thrown into a new world with monsters, levels, and skills.

Returning to their way of life seems impossible until Arathia’s resident crazy homeless guy proposes a plan that just might get Rey and his friends out of their dead-end village.

When they leave their safe zone, they find that the truth about the Mists is far closer to home than they ever could have believed.

And wait, what do you mean they’re not real people, but non-player characters in a new full-dive role-playing game?

Crossing the Hall: Exposing an American Divide by Lori Wojtowicz

Lori Wojtowicz has spent her life in classrooms, 35 years teaching and now traveling the country as an educational consultant. She writes not of what she taught, but of what she learned. And the lessons were not easy. Her students provided a microcosm of American society, and she was forced to confront the issue of racism in her classroom, her country, and most significantly in herself. A journey in self reflection, she presents the questions she now believes white Americans must ask of themselves if there is ever to be equity. An unusual pair, Plato and Malcolm X, and all the students served as her guides. She writes because of them. The book is discounted from September through October, 2021.

Playing Mum by Elizabeth Coffey

About Playing Mum by Elizabeth Coffey

Young widow, Pamela Jones pulled up outside her wonderful new home – this was going to be a fresh start. Well, that’s how she had described it to her two young sons. Without the rose tinted specs it was a dilapidated grey cottage, in the middle of nowhere, it seemed. Nestling away in its overgrown grass and bedraggled rosebushes, desperately in need of a good paint.

“It’s going to be an adventure boys, the biggest one yet!” She had told them, excitedly.

But, what had started out as an adventure very quickly became a nightmare. No-one could ever have guessed what was about to happen to them – and worse than that, what terrifying things they would have to do, to dig themselves out of the shocking scenario that fate had cruelly dealt them…

Letters to Slaves

About Letters to Slaves

Dear readers and friends,

I am delighted that you have come across to this book and I am very touched that you have shown a great generosity to my work. This book is a collection of thoughts, longings, ideas and sometimes rhyming verses. I do not dare to call it a poetry book, because if I am a writer, then who was Bukowski? I am rather a young man who writes about things (you can define me like that). In this sense, please do not consider “a poetry book” at the cover page as an indication of vanity, but rather to let audience know what to expect.

Finally, I am glad that you are here, and I hope that you will enjoy this book. Please do not cringe to my love “poems” and political ideas.

Your friend,
Gasham
