My Brother’s Keeper is a thrilling gothic fantasy novel swirling with family curses, megaliths, folk magic, buried demons, sects of one-eyed French werewolf hunters, the werewolves they’re hunting, ruined temples to the goddess Minerva, Minerva herself, ghost dogs, the Yorkshire moors, double-bladed daggers, and haunted churchyards. And the protagonist is Emily Brontë.

Empire of Silence kicks off an epic space fantasy in the style of Gene Wolfe or Frank Herbert.
If you think Dune started well but went off the rails, try Empire of Silence. If you think the Book of the New Sun needed more sword duels and ship to ship space combat, try Empire of Silence.

They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives--even the…
The Fourth Turning is an analysis of why history seems to repeat in cycles.
Strauss and Howe look at the two-beat cycle of Spiritual Awakening following by Political Crisis and root it in a four-generation pattern of youths reacting against their parents and their own circumstances. The analysis suggests that now (2023) we are deep into the Crisis of our saeculum, and can expect a reordering of the fundamental socio-political deal along with a large public sacrifice.
Let us hope that we can avoid the wars that have accompanied some Crises (e.g., the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War II)!
