👾💀🚪QOTD: What price would you pay to save the people you love?🚪💀👾
“That’s what happens here, Paul. Every power has its price. It always gets worse.”
For Paul Prentice things have gotten much worse. His house was destroyed in the battle with the Koŝmaro. He’s on thin ice at his job, where instead of working he loses himself in the Between’s computer game, trying in vain to find explanations. His best friend Jay has transformed into a shadowy killer. Corinne and Supriya have vanished. And it appears his wife, Julie, has finally had enough and left him.
Alone and near ruin, Paul receives a familiar visitor with a dire message: they are all back in the Between. Hunted, captured, doomed. For Paul, still wearing the serĉilo’s artifact on his wrist, escape was never an option. The game must be played until the end.
In the harrowing conclusion to The Between, Leslie once again invites readers into a mind-twisting world where the most terrifying monsters are the ones let loose inside of us.

Will the pair and their new friend succeed before time runs out?

They are protected by the Life-Giver, the Sun God who talks to them in their dreams. They live away from society and are only seen by their Scribes.
But then someone – or something – begins attacking them.
The Council tries to place the blame on the Life-Giver, but Dreamer Annelie and her Scribe Lyam know better. They learn that danger is buried deep in the heart of the Council itself, threatening their peaceful way of life for good.
Forced to team up with Enoch, a mysterious man who talks in riddles, the trio must race against time to save their underground city from corruption – before their world crumbles around them.

Arthur Crazy is hungover, but the dead don’t care about headaches.
The city of York is teetering on the edge of disaster. During a rare eclipse, the Shadowman casts a spell atop the Minster, trapping the city between the realm of the living and the dead. Ghosts flood the streets, and Arthur, with his best friend Steve, is the only one who can stop the chaos.

Now, with the Shadowman’s spell tearing the veil between worlds, the city’s only hope rests on a washed-up hero, a saint from the Shambles, and a dog who won’t stop talking.
York needs a miracle. Arthur needs another drink.
Or maybe a Panadol and a panini.

🕰️⛓️💀QOTD: How do you handle personal issues when life gets hard?💀⛓️🕰️
Preparing for war may not be the most difficult thing Taryn is facing in the exciting conclusion to E. M. Wright's Children of Erikkson trilogy. After a weeks long coma, she's learning about her past, losing those close to her, and more. On top of that, she now has to face danger from within her own army.
Will everything Taryn has gone through prove worth it? Or is freedom too far out of reach. PETRICHOR is available for pre-order now!
After facing charges of treason and the threat of hanging, Taryn is gravely injured, and the biomatons narrowly escape with their lives. With the biomaton rebellion officially declared, Elmhurst is preparing for war.
Freshly awakened from a weeks-long coma, Taryn must battle not only the outside forces that want to subdue her, but her own internal strife as she realizes the full cost of war. She's learning new things about her past, losing friends, and worst of all, she's afraid she might be losing herself.
Yet more pressing conflicts vie for her attention. While she's trying to run a rebellion and get her strength back, Erikkson insists an important player is missing—his third and most volatile construction: a clockwork assassin known as Petrichor, freshly returned after years in the United States. Taryn not only has to grapple with her own role and tenuous humanity in this war; she'll also have to face a new threat from inside her own army.
Is freedom finally within reach, or will the biomatons find themselves in chains once again?

🍺💀👻QOTD: If you were to be a famous ghost, what would your legend be??👻💀🍺
York is full of ghosts and Arthur Crazy is about to meet each of them in person. After one too many drinks, he discovers he has the power to see and hear ghosts, and now he's the only one who can help them. What will Arthur discover in the shadows of York's cobbled streets?
Find out in A. B. Finlayson's THE BOOK AND THE BLADE! Arthur's story starts here...are you ready?
This is not a metaphor. The dead are walking and talking, and it doesn’t matter that Arthur doesn’t believe in them. They believe in him.
Too drunk to recall how he stumbled upon his nascent power, Arthur is burdened with newfound responsibility: he’s the only one who can hear the unfinished business of every dead guy in York, and he’s the only one who can help.
As forgotten legends and lost demons stir all over the cobbled streets and snickelways, Arthur finds himself at the centre of an unfolding mystery—a light in the desert, a fart at a funeral—and he is about to discover that an unfortunate surname isn’t the only thing that makes him stand out.
Arthur just wants to sober up, have a kebab, and go home, but his conscience is knocking loud and clear, demanding he open the damn door. He may not be the hero the dead need, but he’s the one they’re stuck with. Besides, one of those ghosts seems kind of cute.

At The Parliament House, we believe that pen and ink is as good as magic and spell, and we strive to provide a good home for those stories with a little extra dazzle. We work with our writers every step of the way on their literary journey, helping to bring out the most from their work. From multiple rounds of editing to unique, individualized marketing outreach, The Parliament House helps our authors produce brilliantly bizarre, original, and moving stories with some edge.
Why Parliament House? Though we are new on the block in the publishing community, our team has a combined twenty-plus years experience in editing, marketing, and design. We bring a Manhattan quality aesthetic to small-press, offering author-friendly publishing to both new and seasoned voices.. We specialize in a niche market and are very selective about the sorts of titles we accept, because we want to ensure each of our projects gets the attention it deserves. Every title is selected specifically because we believe in its ability to succeed.
Striving to be the Guillermo del Toro of the indie publishing world, The Parliament House was founded by Shayne Leighton, bestselling author and marketing professional. The Parliament House curates fantasy of every scope with a specific taste for the weird, dark, and quirky. Be it contemporary, steampunk, paranormal, urban, or otherwise, it has to be the sort of magic that captures our attention and leaves a lasting impression.
Our mission is not only to provide the world with fantastic escapes into the impossible, but also to create a publishing home for the author, and more importantly, a family. Navigating through the business of publishing can feel daunting without the right support system and group of knowledgable experts. The Parliament House prides itself on being a supportive place for new and seasoned authors alike to thrive.
Stories contracted by The Parliament House are treated the same (as best we can) as novels produced via the major five houses. Each book goes through extensive rounds of content & line edits, artwork, and packaging to ensure the highest quality possible as well as personalized three-month marketing plans assigned to every project including cover reveals, book trailer production, chapter sneak peeks and more. We help authors post-release too with reviews, physical signings, brick & mortar placement, and the immediate availability of all formats including digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio.
The Parliament House stands out from a sea of small publishers because we approach publishing like each story is an old friend. Created by independent authors for independent authors, we recognize how important it is for your work to feel legitimate and to give it the time it truly deserves by hand-crafting gorgeous covers, trailers, and other marketing materials. Each acquisition is announced on the Publisher's Market Place and we make sure to spread the word to the right reviewers. Some writers spend decades on their novel, so the least we can do is ensure quality to your work.
