Sen. Roger Wicker on Hegseth: “He made a rookie mistake in Brussels. I don’t know who wrote the speech — it is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool."

eBook cover for Black River by M Turville Heitz shows moonlit waters flanked by pine forest with scudding moonlit clouds on the horizon. About Black River, published by Mystique Press, and imprint of Crossroad Press, available December 17, 2024: Sent to Earth in the midst of war as an infant, the traveling stone gripped in his tiny hand, Kyle Nelson grew up feeling like a fish out of water, despite his family’s deep Wisconsin roots. His strange Uncle Rupert filled his head with fanciful tales of world-hopping wizards, but it wasn't until he turned 21 that a deeper truth emerged. When Rupert uses magic to send him to another world, Metatha, which has bypassed technological evolution by scavenging from other worlds, he learns he is the last of a ruling caste with the power to use a magical stone and travel between worlds, and a catalyst that re-ignites and ancience civil war. The Metathans have dreamed of the return of the Traveler, so they could access the hidden magic and power of other worlds. What Kyle doesn’t know is that it’s his drunken “Uncle” Rupert that Metathans most fear will swim home. And Rupert hopes Kyle will be his key to do just that. Black River is available in eBook or print https://books2read.com/b/38lkgd https://www.amazon.com/Black-River-M-Turville-Heitz/dp/1637891342 More information about the author at https://oaklandhillsfarm.com
