DOWNLOAD EBOOKSet in an alternate Europe where bloody conflicts rage, the third book of the Crown of Stars epic fantasy series continues the world-shaking conflict for the survival of humanity It is a crucial time in the war-torn kingdoms of Wendar and Varre, a moment when even one wrong decision can tilt the balance of events into total disaster. For Sanglant—King Henry’s son—and Liath—the woman he loves—the offer of both a haven from their enemies and the chance for Liath to study the ancient lore with those who claim her as their own, seems like the answer they have been seeking. But no place can truly be safe for them. Both their lives and their love will be at risk when they are forced to choose which pathway each will follow—lured by the equally strong demands of politics, forbidden knowledge, and family. Liath, born with a dangerous power beyond her control, is torn between her longing for Sanglant and the child they are about to have and the call of sorcery, which can open the way into the land of the Aoi, the Lost Ones. And even as Liath struggles with magic’s seductive spell, Sanglant’s Aoi mother returns to the mortal world, seeking the son she abandoned as a babe. As the fates of kingdoms shift with the changing fortunes of those caught up in the dangers of both civil war and continuing attacks by the nonhuman Eika and the Quman invaders, time is running out for Liath, Sanglant, King Henry, and the people of Wendar and Varre. For the time of cataclysm is fast approaching—and no one can foretell who will survive—or rule—when it is over….

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a companion to Educating Stone. It is not a volume two or a sequel but a companion. Both works of fiction stand-alone but if you first read Educating Stone this companion book will make a little more sense to you, particularly the sequels. A few of Bettis favorite blogs from Educating Stone are re-presented for further enjoyment. In this second book of novel poetry I am using strike through as a means to display an alternative thought to a poem. Perhaps the stricken line is presented as a subjectively better line or perhaps the stricken line may be the first thought but not the best thought. Maybe the stricken line is the best way to write a second meaning to the poem so that the reader benefits from both meanings. This is a novel poetry idea. not a mainstream idea. The use of parentheses does not create the subtleness of meaning that I wish to convey to the reader. There is one poem called Beige Love where the strike through conveys past, gone, removed: deleted. I also use emoticons J sparingly in just a few poems where I think it helps convey a thought. The first set of books that I have written contains the novel: Gunplay: Beauty Redeemed and the companion book of poetry: Bettis Blog: Beyond Beauty Redeemed. All four books feature Betti in her garden in Phoenix. Please note that all characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. All references to street addresses, phone numbers and websites are fictitious. Any resemblances to any of these are purely coincidental. In addition to Bettis Blog, there are other poems of a wide range of subjects. I hope that you enjoy Bettis Blog Beyond Stone.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat if praying became a curse instead of a blessing? Former Army Ranger Jagger Baird thought he had his hands full with the Tribe—the band of immortal vigilantes fighting to regain God’s grace by killing those opposed to Him. But that was before he encountered the ruthless group of immortals called the Clan. The Clan is after a prize that would give them unimaginable power—a piece of the Ten Commandments known as the Judgment Stone. Those who touch the Stone can see into the spiritual world: angelic warriors, treacherous demons, and the blue threads of light that signal the presence of believers in communion with God. By following the blue beam radiating from those closest to God, the Clan plans to locate His most passionate followers and destroy them. Jagger quickly realizes his high-tech gadgetry and training are no match for these merciless immortals. But how can he defeat an enemy who hunts believers through their prayers . . . and won’t stop until they’ve annihilated all those close to Him?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Huautla in Mexico is the deepest cave in the Western Hemisphere, possibly the world. Shafts reach skyscraper-depths, caverns are stadium-sized, and sudden floods can drown divers in an instant. With a two-decade obsession, William Stone and his 44-member team entered the sinkhole at Sotano de San Augustin. The first camp settled 2,328 feet below ground in a cavern where headlamps couldn't even illuminate the walls and ceiling. The second camp teetered precariously above an underground canyon where two subterranean rivers collided. But beyond that lay the unknown territory -- a flooded corridor that had blocked all previous comers, claimed a diver's life, and drove the rest of the team back. Except for William Stone and Barbara am Ende, who forged on for 18 more days, with no hope of rescue, to set the record for the deepest cave dive in the Western Hemisphere.
