Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow

“You can’t make this stuff up.”

So says American writer, Imperial Russia enthusiast, Romanov junkie, and veteran expatriate, Jennifer Eremeeva, who has lived for the last twenty years in Russia after she fell in love with, and married HRH, her Handsome Russian Husband (occasionally a.k.a. Horrible Russian Husband). Luckily for Eremeeva, she didn’t need to make up most of the events that inspired this, her first novel. When she (and her alter-ego heroine, coincidentally named Jennifer) quit her job to write full time, she became enthralled with the dingy gray building across the courtyard from her apartment, where, it turned out, Vladimir Lenin’s embalmed corpse was routinely freshened up and preserved. The result is Lenin Lives Next Door: Marriage, Martinis, and Mayhem in Moscow.

Based on Eremeeva’s two decades in Russia, Lenin Lives Next Door knits together vignettes of cross-cultural marriage and expatriate life with sharp observation, colorful historical background, and engaging humor. Each thematic chapter is an anecdotal exploration of an aspect of life in today’s Russia, told with the help of a recurring cast of eccentric Russian and expat characters.

Lenin Lives Next Door introduces readers to Russians in their everyday milieu: at their dachas, in three-day traffic jams, and celebrating their 300-plus public and professional holidays with mayonnaise-based salads. For anyone who has ever long to visit Russia, this witty and engaging novel is the perfect tour guide. Short listed for a total of ten prestigious publishing awards Lenin Lives Next Door is a delightfully fresh inside look at Russia by a recovering Russophile.

ONLY WHEN YOU DIE TO YOUR FEARS WILL YOU RISE WITH YOUR TRUE POWER

One Boy. One Lord. One Sign

In the not so distant future, when the earth is wasted and unable to sustain the human population, astronaut teams are selected to colonize seventeen potentially habitable planets. However, out of those seventeen, only four colonies are successfully established. Soon, after this, all life on earth is destroyed, under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind the people on those colonies as the last of all mankind. Over the course of the next fifty thousand years, these people evolve into four distinct races, called the Keplers, the Albeins, the Elveden and the Aureans. At the pinnacle of their civilizations, these four colonies are one day attacked and laid to waste by the most advanced and powerful alien race in the universe, known as the Volski, under the command of their Imperial Lord, Olscuro. As the last of the human survivors flee for their lives from the Volski, a mysterious sign starts appearing to a Kepler boy, Troy Zander, guarding him and helping him fight back against the enemy, whilst holding magical secrets and the key to the boy’s past, his present and the future of the universe.

The ancients believed that once in a Blue Moon a child with Peacetaker powers is born. Such child, when grown to maturity, can seed murderous madness in people’s minds by merely walking amongst them. A simple amulet activates the Peacetaker’s powers.

Stella Hunter is a disgraced academic, hiding in a small town-nowhere Montana. She is bitter, filled with self-doubt and can’t face the world or herself in the mirror. Then one snowy evening, a stranger with a horribly scarred face stomps on the porch of her bright-yellow-siding house, holding her controversial book. Then he shows her the bloody fingerprints left by the book’s now-deceased owner, marking a passage that claims Peacetaker myths and legends are anything but. The product of mythological revenge has survived to threaten modern-day humanity. And suddenly, not just Stella’s fate but the fate of humanity depends on whether she was right or wrong when she wrote her infamous book.

Book One of The Nebril Riverland Chronicles

Seventeen year old Emerin Gareth has always known that something is unusual about her. She knows that she will never be able to live the life that’s expected in her small village. But only when she steps outside of her community and heads toward the mountains that have been beckoning her, does she finally understand just how very different she is and how different the world is from the sheltered life she has always known.

The world outside of Emerin’s farming community is full of fantastic creatures, diverse communities, unexpected friends and unimaginable horrors–horrors which Emerin has the power to stop, if only she can follow through with the quest that she has been given. On the other side of the Riverlands lies Nebril City, a sprawling metropolis that is taking over the lands that surround it. But this growing city has a dark secret which threatens the security of everyone around them, and only a select few are able to right the wrongs that have been committed.

Now Emerin and her best friend Jalya, two naïve farm girls, must leave home for the first time and embark on an epic journey over dangerous terrain. They must restore balance to the spirit world of their land in order to save the physical world in which they live. To complete their mission, Jalya must find her missing brother and Emerin must find a part of herself that she never knew existed.
