About the book:

A battle against the forces of Those That Stand in Shadow brings an end to an old hero and a beginning for a new one. Together with a half-orcne thief named Glaive, a young warrior named Qualtan must battle through undead hordes, shape-shifting maugs, hungry trolls, and more on his journey to become a knight. Along the way, he learns the world isn’t as simple as he first thought. Good and evil are not always what they seem, close friends can be deadly enemies, and loyalty can sometimes be rewarded with treachery. Even if Qualtan can grow from these lessons, a greater one will need to be faced: can an unexpected friendship with a thief of orcne blood, despised by all, support his chance for knighthood, or ruin it altogether?

Barefoot in the Parking Lot by Vineet Verma
 

When a dead body is discovered lying barefoot in a restaurant parking lot, detectives Angela White and Paul Conley are called in to investigate the strange and disturbing crime. The victim turns out to be Jay Sharma, the hotshot CEO of a famed AI company and tech powerhouse. Jay’s distraught wife can’t imagine who could want to kill him. But the deeper White and Conley wade into the evidence, the longer the suspect list grows.

The detectives soon come face-to-face with the dark and sordid world that lies just under Silicon Valley’s polished and pristine exterior. From jealous ex-lovers to rival tech giants, Jay has created powerful enemies, all of whom would be happy to see him dead–and all of whom have solid alibis.

White and Conley hit dead end after dead end. And when blackmail schemes and copycat murders come into play, finding Jay’s killer becomes increasingly more urgent. Can they catch a break, or will a murderer go free in Silicon Valley?

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I love reading mysteries and have also enjoyed writing from a very young age. There are always some ideas floating around in my head. This particular one took hold very strongly and before I knew it, I was writing a novel. 🙂

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
I spent considerable time to build and define my characters. They are based on a combination of experience, personal as well as of people I know, or inspired by news stories or just a figment of my imagination.

Book Sample
Maya was brought back to the present when she saw lights outside. The cops were here. She picked up a pair of scissors, in case the intruder was still in the house. She put her ear to the bedroom door and listened for a few seconds. Once she was sure no one was on the other side, she crept down the stairs, careful not to make a sound. She stopped at the last step and tried to listen, while scanning the darkness for any signs of life. Convinced that no one was present, she sneaked towards the front door, weapon ready for attack if the need arose.

About the book:

Jeremy Ceremony is a normal sort of young man. He wants to do well and he wants to earn a living. Why not? He thinks he’s found the cure for cancer. Surely someone is going to give him some cash along the way?
Amelia Hartliss meanwhile, Secret Agent, has been given a routine mission, to go undercover and find a new arrival in Britain, someone who might have been sent here with murder in mind. Her investigations take her to an unlikely destination – a suburban church, providing support and beds for the Homeless. While there she is told about a regular member of the church congregation, a man called Jeremy. She is shocked to hear he might be able to cure cancer. It would be so useful!
Jeremy’s boss has the disease. Melia’s lover’s father had been taken ill. The Vicar at the church too. They are all suffering. They all need treatment – fast. And then, the greatest surprise. Melia’s oldest adversary, her nemesis, arrives in Manchester. To kill her? No, to say goodbye. He too is afflicted. His time is limited. He is trying to make amends, he says, but dare she trust him, after everything that has happened between them?
Melia finds herself conflicted, her emotions ravaged by people she used to think of as friends – they’re not – and people she used to think of as enemies – they’ve changed. If only her boyfriend Mickey was there, but he is abroad, on a secret mission. No, Melia is going to have to tackle this pressure alone, finding support where she can, but drawing on her own inner resources. After all, they call her ‘Heartless’. Surely she is tough enough to cope!

Dragon’s Egg by S. R. LANGLEY
 

WHAT IF THE WORLD IS NOT AS IT’S SAID TO BE?

13-year-old Roger Briggs has been trained to believe there is no such thing as Magic and has only ever shown interest in his own scientific pursuits, mainly that of studying bugs.

But then a chance collision with the nature loving, Mary Madam, occurs. This rapidly leads him into adventures he could never have believed possible. And soon, these two seemingly mismatched loners are drawn into a daring rescue and an incredible escape, from the most unbelievable and deadliest forces of evil existing on, or under, Planet Erf: The Psychonomy and the Worm Lords of the Core.

“Science & Law & Nothing More!”

This is the Psychonomy’s mantra that Roger and all children are taught in this alternative 1950’s Inglande, where even Science itself is being manipulated by these unseen powers, who are secretly plotting to rule all the hidden Worlds of Planet Erf. Now, Roger must free his mind and wake up – and not only believe in himself – but from here on out – he must – Believe in the Unbelievable!

Does he have the courage and ability to survive and so save the last Dragon’s Egg and its unhatched Dragon Prince? If not, the world, as it truly is – inside and out – will be destroyed!

Dragons Egg is the beginning of an epic adventure story, full of action, intrigue, compelling characters, and fantastical imagery. If you’ve enjoyed classic fantasy, ranging from Alice to Aslan, or Pullman to Potter, then you’ll love SR Langley’s incredible journey into the deep unknown of the last bastions of Magic on Planet Erf!

Hi, Jed Langley here.

I'm helping my father, Steve Langley. He is an author currently battling cancer, but fighting the good old fight!

I'm currently at home in Manchester, England with my dad and family.

My dad is a writer & poet which has been his passion for more than 30 years.

Before his cancer hit, he was flat out writing the fantasy epic, the "Dragon's Erf" series.

He wrote 4 books and published the first, "Dragon's Egg" on Amazon! But little to no promotion was done.

My family & I are helping him with this while he fights & recovers.

The book is available on ebook and paperback.

My family & I would truly appreciate you get the book, read and do a review!

In the unlikely event any profit is made, this will go to any medical costs.

If you, friends and family like to read fantasy, then help me,
help our dad,
continue his legacy!

Best, Jed

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Please see above. I cannot answer thus question on behalf of my father. He's been a poet for 30 years and a huge fan of Tolkien etc. I'm sure that was his inspiration.

Book Sample
Only twelve of the Royal Guard had survived. The smoking corpses of their fallen comrades lay scattered in discarded ruin amongst the rubble of the outer court. The once one hundred strong cohort of proud Warrior-dragons had been decimated. Captain Strebor gave the command to fall back to defend the inner sanctum where their Lord, Divad Sivad, High King of the True-Dragons, sat curled and slumped on his royal couch-throne, awaiting with no great concern the unfolding of his supposedly fearsome fate. The High King Sivad had lost too much already. Long gone was his and the True-Dragons’ Golden Age. His slow slide into insanity and indifference had begun over a thousand years ago, when he had lost his wife and Soulmate, in the Battle of the Black Cavern. He could now no longer face the past, let alone the future. And the latest news of the loss of his only son and the present, de facto, ruling King of the True-Dragons, was too much to bear. The slow death of his all-consuming apathy was now nearing completion. The loyal One Hundred, however, had refused to desert their posts. They had now paid the ultimate price. The Fire-Worm Lords of the Core had surprised the Dragon Kingdom with their attack on the High King’s Palace. The kingdom had been left much weakened with the new King-Regent, the Lord Nevets Yram, now reportedly lost on a mission to aid a distant Under-Erf Cavern-World. “Form a ring around the High King!” Captain Strebor cried out urgently to his Warriors. “Let no Creature of the Core come near him. We will keep our oaths and defend the High King to our last flicker of red battle-flame!” The Guards obediently surrounded the unseeing and uncaring High King; each Dragon Warrior facing resolutely outwards, ready for the next vicious onslaught. As they waited, the teeming Minion Army of the Core filled the Inner Court from all directions. Every inch of the blue-marble flooring was now covered with the writhing, loathsome worms; the sickly-red and yellow, foot-long grubs, with wide, pincer-like maws and drooling, toxic fangs. The floor was a heaving sea of acid-spitting death. “I know we are beyond all hope, our reserves of protective blue flame are now near-exhausted, but we still have our red battle-flame and we will stand and do our duty!” Strebor grimly telepathed, knowing indeed, that each of his twelve brothers would hold firm, no matter the odds against them.
