    About this ebook

    The Clements Academy was established, somewhere around the year 2045, to train the best and brightest orphans from around the world into the perfect agents. Weapons training, martial arts training, and small unit tactics are just a few of the classes for Clements students. Melanie 'marshmallow' Marsh has been plagued by two bullies. What can she do to break free?

    *Contains adult themes and language. Not for the faint of heart or the narrow of mind.

    'The Elf and the Ogre' is one of many self-contained tales of growing up hard. Find more in 'Breaking Benjamin', available in print or e-book. Also keep an eye out for 'The Long Road Home', a short novel from the desk of Col. Garrett Ross, coming soon.

    Author

    Brent Meske

    Brent is a husband, father, teacher, writer, and sometimes artist living in Seoul Korea, originally from Detroit, Michigan. Brent reads Stephen King, Brandon Mull, Jim Butcher, and a hundred others. You should too. Lately Brent's been all over the place: designing book covers both E and print, editing up books, and reviewing for AIA (awesome indies, look them up). It's an exciting time to be a writer. *If you're like me and you don't like to be cheated, please don't use Authorhouse.com. In fact, since finding Smashwords I intend to republish 'Breaking Benjamin' in its entirety here soon enough, and I'm also looking for a print publisher, if you'd like to have one on an actual bookshelf.
