## Book Blurb

Before world war two could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.
Now, Yosemite city stands as the gateway between two worlds. The empire of humanity to the west, and the wild wastes to the east.

Standing at the helm for Yosemite is Vince, a Ranger turned city state ruler. Supporting him in his endeavors is his inner circle.

Vince has begun to maneuver through the intricacies of ruling. At the same time he must balance his expanding foundation and fend off external threats.

Thankfully, every single citizen of Yosemite is united to the cause. To make their home, permanent. To dig out their place in the world and make a stand.

Things are starting to spiral out of control. Almost as quickly as he can put it all back together something else falls apart.

And with Yosemite rapidly rising into prominence, Vince finds that it really means just putting a bulls-eye on your back.

After her failure during the tournament, Mei was cast out of the Deng family and would have been killed without the intervention of Ash and his friends.
At Ash's invitation, she joined his alliance against the Deng family and proved to be a valuable addition.
From an early point, it is clear that Mei has an interest in Ash beyond just being a friend or ally.

Like most of Ash's inner-circle she swears herself to Ash at the same time as Jia; however, Mei is unusual among his inner circle in that she has somehow convinced Ash to take her to bed.
As his First, Mei is a central figure in the the Sheng Alliance. She takes responsibility for many of the day to day operations, and filtering out unsuitable recruits. Ash recognizes her commitment to him by pledging himself back to her with a similar oath to what she swore to him.

Janelle

## Background Information-

Wanting to prove herself, Janelle joined the military despite it causing a rift with her parents. She achieved the rank of Captain and served in the Para commandos.

## Description

Ash-blonde hair cut very short, ghostly purple eyes, face that looks like it was cut from marble. Her ears are slim and delicate with a nice point.

## Plot-

She accompanied Gus to the shipyard, and took the opportunity to ask him what happened with his team. She seemed taken aback that it was simply a matter of Gus' team wanting to go home, and the elven clans not being willing to let that happen. Of minor note, Janelle demonstrated a basic competency with magic during this time.
Janelle is kidnapped from the base and is moved via planar lord portals to the Para Prison where Chloe was imprisoned. Gus rescued her from the prison and negotiated with Mark, Fin, and Bennett, for her to be promoted and assigned to his team permanently.
Janelle is forced into a crisis when she is ordered by her family to kill Gus (The Hunter.) She does not want to betray the man who rescued her from the Prison, but she knows if she doesn't she will be ostracized by her family. She is conflicted about what to do until she is face to face with Gus at his door. She made a snap decision to just kill herself instead of Gus, but Gus was able to intervene. After a long discussion with Gus, she decided that Gus' team is a reasonable replacement for the rather limited family she had. This had an unintended consequence of Melody contracting her as Blue although she is not part of the "marriage" .....yet. It also had the expected consequence of her being disowned and disinherited.
After the Newbin incident, Janelle moved in with Gus and Melody as one of the contracts, and Melody submitted papers to get her honorably discharged from the military.
Janelle's fear scent is freshly mowed grass.

After events reveal the involvement of Zeus, and the decision is made to withdraw from direct participation in the conflict, Janelle notifies the Elven clans of the danger so they can prepare to support the Originator.

## Quotable Quotes

FAQ

## Is X, Y, or Z over now that it's got book 3?

Probably not. I write in trilogies. Doesn't mean the story is over.

## Why the second pen name?

Far more complicated than I want to admit, but a simpler answer is "Randi Darren is explicit books".

## What book are you working on?

The Writing Calendar should list what i'm currently writing.

## Will there be a sequel to?

Really depends. If there is a book one, then there will be a book two, and three.

## Is x series over?

I'm not sure. There's always the possibility that i'll write another trilogy into the series.

## Can I get a signed copy?

Maybe? They're not given out without a reason. Feel free to look at the Signed Copies list if you would like to see how many are out there.

Before world war two could reach its conclusion, the world suffered what could only be defined as a cataclysm.

In The Waste, every fantasy creature, fairy tale demon, or mythological monster exists. From Orcs, to Neriads, Ogres, Trolls, Wratihs, Elves, Harpies, and even Beastmen. They all exist, and all despise humankind.

In the ruins of the west and east coasts new governments have arisen. With new jobs.

Vince is a Ranger, a profession whose sole job duty is surviving in the waste, and taking missions from the Ranger Guild. Be it courier services, escorts, or simply exploring tombs and cities.

Taking up an escort mission, Vince encounters a situation that will shape his life forever onward.

As well as the lives of everyone in North America.

## Book Blurb-

Ash led a very normal life by his own standards. It had its ups and downs, much like anyone else’s.

Being a talented martial artist had definitely been an up, while high-school as a whole was a down. His own father not being a great role model, and his uncle being everything he wanted to be.

To Ash it felt like a very normal life.

Right up until he was literally pulled into a portal that spat him out into another world.

One that was full of martial arts. Martial arts that the practitioners of such used magic to employ. To set the very air on fire with a punch, or to turn their skin hard as diamonds.

To fly through the air, if they had enough power.

A world where the strong ruled, and the weak died.

Three years of living his life as one of the citizens, those without power, and Ash has figured out how to survive. With his adoptive family and a lot of persistence.

His goals in life have become to give back to those who gave to him. And he’d do whatever he had to, to do that.

Except Ash is about to get his life turned around again. Turned around and altered completely. He’s about to discover a treasure from a time long lost. Forgotten.

A treasure that is going to change his destiny and give him another direction to go. If he wants it.

A Cultivator.

Ash’s life is anything but normal these days.

Having unlocked his Dantian, he’s grown in power. Grown to the point where he has others that depend on him for that power.

In this world of martial arts, only the strong and the ruthless survive.

Everyone else is merely a stepping stone on their path of Cultivation, or an obstacle to be overcome.

Or knocked down.

A world where the strong rule, and the weak die.

Utilizing the Hall, the voice in his head that calls itself Locke, and all the powers available to him, Ash has begun his own journey of Cultivation.

Except that as a Fated One, his journey is a narrow and winding path between two cosmic forces. Each one vying for dominance.

And that has nothing to do with what Locke has planned for him.

This is his second step in his life as a Cultivator. Overcoming his first tribulation, and solidifying his Dantian.

Monster's Mercy on Audible

## Book Blurb-

An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster.

Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe.

Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene.

It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster.

That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that.

A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

Except the verdict is already long since passed and needs no deliberation.

His sentence was being sent hundreds of years into the past, into a different world even, where he must live a life for the betterment of others. Every action judged as it happens and weighed out against him.

But even this new idyllic life he’s been living in for eighteen years is about to go off the rails and Rene will be forced back into a life lived in the underworld.

Armed with a few gifts granted to him by the one who judged him, gifts better suited to a fantasy about living in a video game, Rene has to maneuver his way back to his new life while using all the things he’d learned in his old one.

Except using those skills is a double-edged sword. If he’s not careful, he’ll end up right back where he started.

Dead and on his way to hell.

"Once upon a time a group of thirteen colonies tried to break off from one of the kingdoms that eventually became a founder of the Sovereign.”

Runner grinned at her.

“They failed miserably. The burden of taxes after that revolutionary war prevented them from ever trying again. What if I made a world where they had actually succeeded? Could be interesting to watch.”

“Maybe.”

“Either way. I think I’ll start there. Let them win the war, through some really improbable odds and circumstances. Then they’ll live out their lives. Reading books, watching movies, having children. Never realizingthat they’re just a gigantic what  if scenario.”

“What if they figure it out?”

“Doubt it. Humans in general wouldn’t accept it. They’d probably call them crazy. Dunno. Maybe I bring them here? I’m sure I’ll figure something out.”

Ying Yue

## Background Information-

Paper seller in Xing City

First appearance, CC 1, Ch 11

## Plot-

She uses that money to expand her business and send her brother to a training sect.
After Ash's return from training, he needs more paper and seeks her out again for more supplies. He contracts her to dispose of his empty spirit stones for the price of 1/6th of the total. Considering he had over 700,000 stones, this share was considerable, easily making Ying Yue a very wealthy young woman.
Convinced Ash is a Fated one, Ying Yue follows him to the Jade Fist sect with the intention of setting up a store. Rapidly running afoul of the Deng family merchant cartel, Yue is pulled into the Deng-Sheng family conflict.
When offered, Yue readily accepts Ash's offer to open her Dantian, which makes her a cultivator. Ash thinks that she would make a great alchemist, so he includes master level alchemy as one of her skills. This proves key as she is able to make a pill that heals Master Gen's dantian, and restores his strength.
After becoming a cultivator, Yue joins the Jade Fist sect by bribing an official and becomes one of Ash's alliance.
Ying Yue is firmly convinced Ash is a Fated one, and practically worships the ground he walks on, which causes Ash great consternation.

She is targeted by Bartek's alliance for her value to Ash and her relative weakness in combat, which proves to be a fatal error as it leads Ash to swear vengeance.
Yue maintains her merchant contacts despite having to delegate the operation of her store to a manager. This proves valuable when the Sheng Alliance needed supplies for the Veil overlap expedition.
As the Sheng Alliance expands, Yue inspires Ash to begin training his alliance members in martial arts, with Yue being one of his most dedicated students. It is after one of their training sessions that Yue reveals that the cultivator (Jie) that killed her parents is in the Jade Fist city. Being unable to defeat Jie himself, Ash convinces Master Li-Yong to mete out justice.
Despite her obvious feelings, Yue remains unable to openly express them to Ash. Unbeknownst to Yue, Locke is of the opinion that once Yue decides she wants to be First among Ash's circle, the others will not stand a chance against her.

The problem is that whoever loaded them into the game, loaded their minds completely. If they die, their brain gets wiped.

This is the second book in the Dungeon Deposed series

Dungeon Deposed 2 on Amazon

Dungeon Deposed 2 on Audible

## Book Blurb-

Ryker only had one goal in his life right now:
Turn a certain adventuring guild into a flaming wreck while dancing merrily through the smoldering ruins. All for the chance to get back at a handful of people.

It didn’t work out that way though.

At all.

He’d become the Count of Dungeon, made a hostage, married off to the false queen’s daughter against his will, and had his county made ground zero for a religious war.

To top all that off, the Dark Lord of the North wants to see Ryker personally.
The smoldering ruins of Dungeon have been cleared, the patterns reset, and Ryker has a task that is more than likely too much for him.

Hold Dungeon, and give Lauren, the rightful queen, breathing room.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.
