Hammers of Time: Wood Cow Chronicles: Backlands

by Rick Johnson
4.5 stars – 2 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

What if something you had been awaiting for more than five hundred years happened—and you completely missed it?

When a ragtag band of servants decides “enough is enough” and rises up to overthrow the oppressive Hammers of Time, things don’t go exactly as planned. Defeating deadly Murdertooths and passing out of a realm where time runs backward are only the beginning of the struggle. Bringing to justice the most powerful Time-Hammer of all will require a journey into the forbidden underground realm of the Night Tollers. Is it necessary to destroy what the Tollers hold most dear in order for hate to be defeated, and to bring the Time-Hammers to a final end? The battle must be joined and all must stand and face the enemy they fear most, even if it is within.

The stakes are truly high, and this collection of lunatics, rebels, and power-players, makes the battle hard fought and the outcome unpredictable. The uncommon heroes and villains—as unusual as the landscapes they inhabit—make this a truly memorable tale. Action-packed and filled with gripping suspense, the balance of deadly serious with the delightfully ridiculous creates a fable for our times.

No Middle Ground (Spineward Sectors- Middleton’s Pride Book 1)

by Caleb Wachter
4.5 stars – 71 reviews
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

No Middle Ground is Book One of Seven in the ongoing Middleton’s Pride military space opera series, set in the 14-books-and-counting Spineward Sectors universe written by the Wachter brothers, Luke Sky and Caleb. When the Empire abandoned the Spineward Sectors to their own devices, it was left to an underappreciated few like lifelong military man Tyrone ‘Tim’ Middleton and his crew of misfits aboard the aged Pride of Prometheus to keep their corner of the galaxy safe from forces which would tear it apart. This action-packed, character-driven space opera series is full of ship battles, space marine slugfests, interstellar politics, and at fourteen total books already written in the universe–including four in this particular sub-series–this team of author brothers is just getting started on this epic saga.

Here’s the set-up:

Many take for granted a general meaning of the phrase “do the right thing.” But Dr. Arthur Lauretano, in DO THE RIGHT THING: A SURGEON’S APPROACH TO LIFE, shows the importance of taking into account context, perspective, and our individual strengths and talents in determining what is truly right for each individual and situation. Lauretano learns from expected sources such as teachers and colleagues, but also from unexpected ones—musicians, cranky patients, IV-drug users, and those suffering from terminal cancer—each of whose influence has shaped his unique outlook on career, home life, community and global conditions.

Wood Cow Chronicles (The Complete Series)

by Rick Johnson

Wood Cow Chronicles (The Complete Series)
4.5 stars – 2 Reviews
Kindle Price: 99 cents
On Sale! Everyday price $5.99
Or currently FREE for Amazon Prime Members Via the Kindle Lending Library
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here’s the set-up:

A heroine who never intended to lead a revolution…

A band of offbeat rebels determined to turn age-old tyranny on its head…

The High One at Maev Astuté and his ancient slaving system. Overpowering. Impenetrable. Final…

Normally, this would be a battle to the last beast standing, but not this time. This is a story of eccentric, unexpected rebels who surprise by being wholly different from anything their enemies expect. In this epic saga, victory will go not to the strongest power, but to the first to think differently.

If the High One’s brutal system is to be destroyed, the rebels will need to penetrate impregnable illusions, out-plot the world’s greatest plotters, survive vicious attacks, and confront their own deepest fears. But in the end, the greatest danger to their success will be the alluring power of illusion and unthinking belief to control.

Kings and dragons, warriors and scholars, would-be prophets and rebels, all discover that the question—What is real, and what is not?—is the ultimate question.

This bundled set includes the four full-length novels of the Wood Cow Chronicles fantasy series: Helga: Out of Hedgelands (Book One), The Overending (Book Two), Silversion (Book Three), and Willowers (Book Four).

5-star Amazon review:
“With a keen eye for historical detail and a deft hand at romantic tension, He invites you to a world, where vices and virtues are on full display and love is lying in wait. The memorable characters and solid storytelling abound in Rick Johnson’s outstanding tale. The series will double your reading pleasure, and the twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end. I loved it.”

Here’s the set-up:

VOLUME TWO in the WOOD COW CHRONICLES series.

For untold ages, the Granite Hulks at Tilk Duraow have been the impregnable center of the High One’s slaving system. Overpowering. Impenetrable. Final. The point from which there is no return. But now, fifteen-year-old Helga’s revolution—one she hardly expected to begin—is way bigger than she ever dreamed. Tilk Duraow itself is in danger. Unexpectedly finding common cause with a troupe of oddball characters, Helga and old comrades are reunited in a chain of events that portends the Overending. Now even the High One himself is no longer safe. The Overending opens a crack…

Rick Johnson’s slightly skewed reality brings readers another mind-bending, genre-busting adventure. Fantastic and quirky, exhilarating and addicting, this entertaining adventure takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end. Ridiculous, but deadly serious. Hits you hard in the funnies, while turning your mind inside out.

Helga: Out of Hedgelands (Wood Cow Chronicles)
by Rick Johnson
4.3 stars - 22 reviews
Supports Us with Commissions Earned
Text-to-Speech and Lending: Enabled
Here's the set-up:
Twelve-year-old Helga has more danger in her life than most beasts her age—Wrackshee slavers after her, a vicious attack by bandits that nearly kills her, a race against dragons pursuing her, and leading a daring rebellion to save her life and rescue friends and family from the insidious WooZan. And that is just the beginning. But what do you expect when you are a young beast who just can’t see the stupid rules of the world making any sense? Helga can’t accept things as they are and ends up taking on not just one, but two all-powerful, supreme tyrants in two different realms.

Helga never intended to lead a revolution. It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the “rules of normal” that keep tyrants in power and entire societies enslaved. Beginning on a dangerous quest to solve some mysteries in her own past, Helga leads her quirky comrades on a journey that will not only forever change them, but upset ancient civilizations.

As an author, I’m drawn to eccentric, unexpected characters: those who surprise because they hear a distant galaxy, see a different music, create their own fragrance rather than get hooked on a soundtrack; the child who has her own ideas about how the emperor is dressed; the lunatics and rebels who tell stories on the boundaries. Helga’s unusual story will take readers to worlds they never imagined—definitely a whole new ride.

Time and again, the unconventional heroine and her eccentric comrades overcome ominous tyrants and black-hearted slavers, not by battling to the last beast standing, but by being the first beast to think differently.

Helga: Out of Hedgelands is divided into three books which introduce the epic saga of the Wood Cow clan and their role in overturning centuries of slavery and tyranny. This story will continue in additional volumes of the Wood Cow Chronicles now in development. Over the series of current and future volumes, the entire history of the Wood Cow clan, the fall of Maev Astuté, and the coming of Lord Farseeker to the Outer Rings, will be told.

Typically, the awesomely diverse and the awesomely stark are much the same, even as they are different. Although I have lived in Michigan, North Carolina, and British Columbia, the western plains, mountains, and desert are in my heart.

Rick Johnson’s Award-Winning Fantasy Helga: Out of Hedgelands (Wood Cow Chronicles) – Just $0.99 on Kindle

4.4 stars – 16 Reviews

Here’s the set-up:

Awarded the Mom’s Choice Award, in the Ages 9-12 category, Fantasy, Myths & Legends

Twelve-year-old Helga has more danger in her life than most beasts her age—Wrackshee slavers after her, a vicious attack by bandits that nearly kills her, a race against dragons pursuing her, and leading a daring rebellion to save her life and rescue friends and family from the insidious WooZan. And that is just the beginning. But what do you expect when you are a young beast who just can’t see the stupid rules of the world making any sense? Helga can’t accept things as they are and ends up taking on not just one, but two all-powerful, supreme tyrants in two different realms.

Helga never intended to lead a revolution. It just sort of happened because she wouldn’t go along with the “rules of normal” that keep tyrants in power and entire societies enslaved. Beginning on a dangerous quest to solve some mysteries in her own past, Helga leads her quirky comrades on a journey that will not only forever change them, but upset ancient civilizations.

As an author, I’m drawn to eccentric, unexpected characters: those who surprise because they hear a distant galaxy, see a different music, create their own fragrance rather than get hooked on a soundtrack; the child who has her own ideas about how the emperor is dressed; the lunatics and rebels who tell stories on the boundaries. Helga’s unusual story will take readers to worlds they never imagined—definitely a whole new ride.

Time and again, the unconventional heroine and her eccentric comrades overcome ominous tyrants and black-hearted slavers, not by battling to the last beast standing, but by being the first beast to think differently.

Helga: Out of Hedgelands is divided into three books which introduce the epic saga of the Wood Cow clan and their role in overturning centuries of slavery and tyranny. This story will continue in additional volumes of the Wood Cow Chronicles now in development. Over the series of current and future volumes, the entire history of the Wood Cow clan, the fall of Maev Astuté, and the coming of Lord Farseeker to the Outer Rings, will be told.

Reviews

“…it was the author’s writing that grabbed my attention…I definitely recommend this book just for its writing alone. The author takes you from one scene to another as if you are floating on a magic carpet looking down.” – Aspiring Book Reviews blog

“…the book just blows you away…You feel every emotion that she feels, and that is what I call excellent writing skills…whether you are 8 or 80, this book will hold your attention and I definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking to escape into a faraway land.” – The Reading Cat blog

“My book club members and I were completely taken in by the world the author had created. In some ways, it felt like reading Narnia by C.S. Lewis.” – Author’s Friend blog

About The Author

I am a native of the Great Plains, having grown up on a farm in the Platte River Valley of western Nebraska. I love the wild beauty of the Plains and nearby Rocky Mountains–the too hot, too cold, too empty, too full of life extremes. Typically, the awesomely diverse and the awesomely stark are much the same, even as they are different. Although I have lived in Michigan, North Carolina, and British Columbia, the western plains, mountains, and desert are in my heart.

As my day job, for over thirty years I have been a faculty member and administrator in higher education. Teaching broadly in the liberal arts, including creative writing, my professional publications include educational materials, poems, and 28 stories for young readers. During my spare hours, I have also collected and carefully studied the records of former times upon which the Wood Cow Chronicles are based. It is my privilege to bring this astonishing saga to light.

The Wood Cow Chronicles have been researched and written with the irreplaceable assistance of Barbara, my beloved wife of more than thirty-five years, and our children. Indeed, the essential research into the history of the Wood Cows has been conducted during the odd hours of family reading and storytelling “around the campfire” as we say–even when there is no campfire! This research continues and grows richer as our family expands across generations and continents.
