About this ebook

Discovery is a collection of three short stories or flash fiction pieces where each focus on the theme of discovery. Two of the three installments are fantasy pieces of exploring new places and new situations, both wondrous and horrid. The other piece follows a young, everyday man caught up in a horrible accident that changes his life forever.

Havel's Demise is the first story, following a little boy in the town of Havel within a fantastical world known as Aethros. In this boy's life, he is only hours from it being turned upside-down by an army of raiding barbarians. Will the boy be able to survive this encounter and find his father before it's too late?

Blindsided is the story of a young man caught in heavy traffic on the way to visit his wife's parents. An accident in the distance appears to be the source of the backed up highway, and Brandon steps out to see what the commotion is all about. As he takes steps closer and closer towards the commotion, a flipped SUV comes into vision. Brandon crawls inside to see if anybody is still trapped and the car begins to bank towards the edge of a cliff. Will Brandon be able to get himself out of this situation?

The Thomas History Chronicles, Book One: City of Companion follows a journalist in the same world as the previous story, Havel's Demise. The journalist, Thomas, writes entries in his history books as he travels the fantastical world for myths, monsters, and adventure. His first story is the discovery and origination of the mysterious city of Companion, a town built and managed my both man and man's best friend.
