​

The world of Terra-Quenlist is in a perilous situation. 

 

After a thousand years of peace and goodness, an eerie eclipse has produced a threat to Terra – a world of darkness called Chaos, ruled by an even darker man named Helius Rue.

 

With the stability of Terra and its people now in jeopardy, it is up to the good emperor, Gavin Moonstone, to stop the evil that threatens Terra’s very existence.

 

The race is on to stop a fated prophecy and to prevent Helius from fulfilling his insatiable quest for power.  Armed with immense magic, courage, and undying faith in the Light, can Gavin and some newfound friends stop Helius’s plans of conquest before it is too late?

 

Or has the fate of Terra-Quenlist already been sealed?

​

After twenty years of fragile peace on the world of Chaos, the minions of darkness still loyal to Helius Rue are preparing for a desperate attempt to seize power in an all-out war against Chaos’s new ruler, Queen Ginger Molloy.

 

A darkness is once more rising, one that perhaps no one on Chaos has ever before seen...an evil force that could potentially undo all of the good that Ginger has created and choke out the growing white magic on Chaos.

 

Has Helius Rue somehow returned? Or is this rising evil a new, even greater threat?

 

Can they stop the evil? Or is it already too late?

The Chronicles of Terra: Traces of Darkness

FIRST EDITION [SOFTCOVER]

ISBN-13: N/A

ISBN-10: N/A

​

Disaster has stricken the once-peaceful planet of Terra-Quenlist.  For now, ten years after the defeat of Cole Altair and the Army of Destruction, darkness has descended once again.

 

With Terra-Quenlist in shambles and Luminox’s royals on a leave of absence, the balance between peace and destruction is beginning to waver dangerously.  The question that everyone seems to have is “What happens now?”

 

Can either Dyne or Antigone replace the great rule of their mother and father in a manner that will save Terra?  Or will they be unable to fulfill their destinies in the eyes of the people? 

 

What’s more…a new entity has appeared on Terra.  An entity, in fact, who holds the key to the past, the key that has been missing.  And somehow, some way…is the final link to show the children and their friends where Gavin is truly from.  She will show them…home.

The Longing Road (James L. Adamczyk)

FIRST EDITION [SOFTCOVER]

INTRODUCTION BY PHILLIP J. ADAMCZYK / WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY SHERI JO POSSELT

ISBN-13: 978-1453717844

ISBN-10: 1453717846

​

​

From the back cover:

​

"What does the poet say about a world as temporary as the one we seem to have here and now?

 

Observe: I am not a human "being" but a human "becoming"; for life—the entire universe, perhaps—is a process rather than a definition.

 

This collection of poems is one attempt to consider my personal travels through our present existence; from "innocence to experience," as they say; or perhaps from magical and mysterious to the realization that there are some really sharp edges out there.

 

Mostly, though, these poems were created for enjoyment—mine and yours.  Hopefully, you will agree."

We Only Wanted to Help and Awakening Stories (James L. Adamczyk)

FIRST EDITION [SOFTCOVER]

INTRODUCTION BY PHILLIP J. ADAMCZYK / WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY SHERI JO POSSELT

ISBN-13: 978-1097445875

ISBN-10: 1097445879

​

​

From the back cover:

​

"A good short story delivers the details of a meaningful experience all at once and in everyday language. We Only Wanted to Help and Awakening Stories is a collection of short stories, from the believable, to the surreal, to the fantastical.

 

Part One of this collection, We Only Wanted to Help, consists of stories about a protracted military conflict in the late Republic of South Vietnam and considers some of the things which happen to nice, ordinary people who find themselves lost in a war.

 

Part Two, Awakening Stories, is a gathering of present-day tales which might be confused with science fiction - though the author would contend that they are so much more than that."
