The forces of Heaven and Hell prepare to meet on a sacred battlefield in Mark Carver's "Black Sun"

A NEW LEADER WILL EMERGE...
A NEW TERROR WILL RISE...
A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS WILL BEGIN.

The Church of Satan is leaderless, and the Christian church seizes this opportunity to rise up and reclaim that which was taken from them. From the ashes of despair, a bright star rises to lead them into glory. But even the darkness can wear a mask made of light...

After the nightmare at the Temple of the Dragon, Patric Bourdon finds himself a prisoner of the very people he despises. His courage and his faith are battered as he discovers that no one can be trusted. His heart is also torn between the anguish of betrayal and the possibility of a fresh start, although a horrific secret threatens any happiness he hopes to find. In his struggle against the world and against himself, he must learn that every choice has its price, and that every sin must be punished...

The forces of Heaven and Hell prepare meet on a sacred battlefield, and an unquenchable darkness spreads throughout mankind. The world will know that righteousness can be infected with corruption and ruin, and that even the strongest hearts can fail. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess: He who wields the power of the sun is Lord.

Mark Carver is an American who currently lives in China with his wife and son. He teaches spoken English and writing at a Chinese university. He enjoys art, tattoos, heavy metal music, cathedrals, and the beach.

Just released: Big Daddy Abel narrates "The Defective Amish Detecive - Volume 1 - The Whoopie Pie Affair"!

I have had the good fortune to be brought into a project by Mark Miller & Big Daddy Abel. Both are incredibly talented and very kind individuals. The Best-Selling “The Defective Amish Detective” series is filled with many things, the main one being heart & soul. I suggest that you give the series a try, listen to the audio sample either on my blogtalk show, right on Audible.com or in the Apple store. Big Daddy Abel knows how to bring the characters to life.
The audio book can be sampled/ purchased at the Apple store as well as Audible.com! Here is the Audible link:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Whoopie-Pie-Affair-Defective/dp/B00BLA1XLI/ref=sr_1_4?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1361884127&sr=1-4&keywords=mark+miller+the+defective+amish+detective

Warning: Before you even consider listening to this, understand that this is a story about a guy that is large, feels he is in charge, and is ready to kick some butt. In truth, he is essentially deaf, almost blind, socially handicapped, and has little sense of smell to boot. Add to that his basic disregard for proper attire and you have one humorous, heartfelt, and, at times, moving story. Okay maybe not that heartfelt or moving, but it may all depend on how you look at things. If you can get past the loud Hawaiian shirts, shorts, and glaring white knee socks and sandals, then you can get to the meat and potatoes of what is coming at you.

It is a diverse and respectful viewpoint of life, both in and out of the Amish community, and how the Plain Folk and English view each other.

In the first volume, The Whoopie Affair, listeners will meet G, the erstwhile suburban hit man, and Eli, the Amish blacksmith.

Two totally different men. Two totally different families. Two entirely separate worlds.

One destiny.

What happens when this unlikely dynamic duo go about solving the mystery of the missing whoopie pies? Plenty of mirth, merriment, malevolence, and muck, but above all, good clean family fun. This is a story that can be listened to by anyone of any age, from 9 to 99. So saddle up, get in the SUV or horse and buggy, put on your wrap around shades, tighten up those suspenders, fix your ball cap or straw hat on top of your head, and get your sandals - or boots - on! It is time to roll and party with Eli the blacksmith and G the hit man in an adventure you are not soon to forget.

You will never look at a horse and buggy the same way again.
