Waking Chaos

Lia Davies – I’m something their world has been waiting for. When my placid small-town life is ripped apart, I enter the Paldimori Games to save the one thing that brings me solace from my painful past. But I didn’t sign up for this; being dragged behind a chariot and ordered around by his Holy Hotness—the arrogant leader of the House of Chaos. When I’m marked as a Chosen—one of six powerful descendants of the primordial gods—a prophecy is triggered that could mean the end of this ancient hidden society. Can I work with their arrogant ruler to piece together the clues of the prophecy, or will we kill each other before the Paldimori’s enemies get the chance?

Growing Up Fae in America: Sean’s Story Book One

You probably believe homo sapiens are the only sentient species of life now living on planet Earth. You are wrong. Until recently, the Fae have lived apart from Homo Sapiens for uncounted centuries. World War II and the threat of the Nazis forced them to confront the possibility they needed to join forces with mankind, so the Fae gave limited help to the British Government. Sean’s parents, Robert and his wife Brenda, were among those who had helped the British during the war. Now, as a member of this Fae family living discreetly in the United States, Sean attended high school with his two closest friends, a wolf-shifter named Tom and normal, human Luke. Friends since before they could walk, after high school they start college in a normal suburban environment. Follow Sean Brennan, a young noble Fae growing up in modern day America, as he and his community of Fae and Shifters face the unique consequences of growing up different while hiding in plain sight. From attempted shakedowns and an arson attack by the Mafia to crooked town cops, an attempted kidnapping, human trafficking, and finally a deadly confrontation with a Coven of Vampires sent to Philadelphia by Russia, Sean and his friends face these threats as they also navigate high school, girls, and everything else young men have to deal with in this day and age. Will they meet adversity head on and triumph or are the challenges too weighty for even this special group of friends to overcome? Find out when you purchase Growing up Fae in America!

Meet J.D Ruffin

J.D. Ruffin is the author of multiple bestselling novels, including the epic fantasy series, the Kingdom War.

Ironically, J.D. never really enjoyed reading until a friend loaned him a dog-eared copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Fellowship of the Ring. From that day, he was hooked, discovering fantasy authors Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Robin Hobb, Terry Goodkind and many, many others.

Becoming an author was never part of the master plan, but…

As a fourteen-year-old nerdy boy, J.D. and his friends would gather around the D&D dice for hours on end, trading reality for fantasy, if only in their minds. In his quest to “stump his friends” with an impossible campaign, he dreamed up a storyline that captured his imagination.

Then… well… nothing happened. He grew up and went to work in a completely different world.

Too many years later, that story pulled at the corner of his mind, demanding to be heard… to be written.

Hence, an author was born.
