BLURB: Mendacium: Book 1: Project Morpheus

In a world where fathers are not only absent, but often ridiculed, it is refreshing to find a man who will stand up, despite his failures, to protect and save his children. Such is the case with John Randall, a broken man trying to put the pieces of his shattered family back together.

With John’s marriage torn apart by his own self-indulgence, his teenage son, Matthew, is left to find refuge in the online world of fantasy – his mind becoming so entangled in the duality between what is real and what is fiction that his soul becomes united with delusion and falsehood.

Is didacticism a separate genre now?

BLURB: Hoggrills End: The Little Red Engine and Other Trite Homilies

Schrdingers cat was an infamous and cruel thought experiment dreamt up in the last century to expose one of the mistaken ideas current in science at that time. Now the cat is out of the bag and, in revenge, he has written up his own ideas on the false trails that modern science has followed. With time to spare he has worked with a number of strange authors to collate this varied and thought-provoking anthology with themes varying from the Falklands War, LGBT, Eastern religion and even Russian spies in the Sub Continent.

Double typos in the first word of the description? Edgy.

BLURB: Take Me With You, My Love: A Time Travel Fantasy

IT ALL STARTED BECAUSE OF A BOOK COVER

Just the cover of a cheap, mass market, paperback novel.

Started what, you ask?

Ally lives in Los Angeles and is a very inhibited woman who lives a very dull life. Her life revolves around her dead-end job and a bleak apartment. She has no love life or comfort. Then one day something incredible happens to change everything. Her boring existence explodes as she passes by her favorite bookstore and is drawn to a book display in the window. The image of a medieval man on the cover grabs her, and she is compelled to buy it.

As she reads, she becomes mesmerized and falls hopelessly in love with the hero. But soon he gets into serious trouble, and she becomes desperate to help him. Well, it is the year 1277 in medieval England, and he is a fictional character. Not only that, everyone knows that time travel is impossible.

A historical romance reminiscent of Diane Gabaldon’s Outlander.

…only not as good, obviously.
