I am just a little too influenced by Hallmark Original Movies. I was watching a Halloween themed one the other day and I felt compelled to add more decorations to my already decked out home. I couldn’t help myself. I needed more spooky cloth and definitely more spiders. How could I have ever thought I had enough spiders. DUMMY! Now this morning I was watching a Christmas Hallmark Original Movie, and I was highly annoyed by the Halloween decorations and wanted to add a few Santas. I wanted to see red, not icky orange. How do I not have more “As Seen On TV” products with how easily I am influenced? Hallmark should put out programs on how to stop yelling at bad drivers on the road, or perhaps a Hallmark Your Kid’s Math Isn’t As Hard As You Think original Movie Series. They are going to steal that idea from me huh?

Immortown

4.1 Stars (12 Reviews)
Genre:

FREE for a limited time

After a tragic accident on set (which might or might not have been her fault), 18-year-old indie-film actress Freya Aurore flees from home and finds herself in Immortown. She is not entirely sure how she ended up here, but one thing is certain: This town is… unusual. To start with, local buildings have an annoying habit of disappearing right in front of her eyes. Strangers keep attempting to murder her, failing to see how that can be upsetting. Everyone spends an indecent amount of time in this bar called the Drunk Dead (which has some serious customer service problems, if you ask Freya). Among other shady characters, she encounters here: an occasionally deceased waiter; a woman claiming to be dating Freya’s brother, who has been unavailable for such matters — or anything else, really — for a year now; an actual (and bloodthirsty) ghost named Dude; an obsessed fangirl; and a moody young artist, Kai, whose paintings tend to come true — which would be wonderful and not at all creepy, were he not such a vile and selfish manipulator.

In the rare moments when she is not busy trying to survive, Freya is looking for a way to escape from this place, but they say once you’re trapped here, you can never leave Immortown — a town that smells like ashes, where fiery October leaves are forever falling, thick as snow, where art comes to life, and staying alive is an art in itself; where music matters and death doesn’t.

This is an atmospheric and melancholy novel sprinkled with dark humor and harboring an entire ocean inside.

A standalone novel in the Imperium Cicernus Universe

The Imperium is our species’ greatest achievement… … and it’s dying.
The very institution that ties us together, keeps us safe from the Grays, is teetering on the brink. The great senatorial families vie for dwindling scraps, using every trick in their arsenal to gain advantage.
Inspector Paul Grimm’s best friend has been framed for a murder that, technically, he did commit. Paul must follow the trail before it goes cold to find out who’s behind this latest attack on the powerful Nathaniel family.
To clear his friend’s name, Paul heads out to the Rim where Imperial colonies sit uncomfortably close to territory claimed by the Gray Quorum. In his desperate race to unravel the plot, he’s pulled into a web of intrigue along with Colonel Julia Urbica of the Imperial Marines. Julia’s local, irregular troops prefer to enforce the Emperor’s peace by finding trouble before it finds them and they adopt Paul’s task for reasons of their own.
Events escalate at every step, and Paul’s mission to help a friend is dwarfed by a threat to the very fabric of Imperial life. He must walk the knife’s edge between peace and outright war with an advanced alien species.
But then, perhaps war is just what the Imperium needs. The current peace has a stench of decay about it.
