Darkness Falls

Legacy of Seven Book 2

by P.J. Flie

Genre: SciFi Fantasy

A world filled with magic, wizards, enchanted beings … and a construction robot?

The mystical world that has risen out of the ashes of science and technology could soon fall.
While the young wizard Ondreeal has her magic safely under control for now, she is plagued with dreams of a nightmarish future that she can’t recall upon waking, dreams that leave her unsettled all the same. A nagging urgency pulls her back to Bastion—a free city of light and a beacon of hope for all peoples.

There, Sir Francis, the wise wizard of the north, will have the answers that she so desperately needs. But if she returns too late, her mentor may fall into the hands of the dark wizard Zairoc, and Ondreeal will forever lose the only one who can unravel the mystery of her past, and help her to become a true wizard of light.

That would also keep robot CD-45 from completing his mission. He carries a dire warning of an ancient threat that looms in orbit above the planet—a message that only Sir Francis can comprehend.
For good or ill, Ondreeal’s fate will be the fate of the world.

But will she become the hero it needs?

In the heat and oilfields, John and his pals believe a rock concert is the answer to their discontent, never realizing the trip will transform them forever—if they survive it.

In 1966, John Pierce and his friends are discontented teens shackled by life in a West Texas oilfield boomtown. As they swelter in summer heat amid thousands of oil wells, desperation creeps in.

When news of an electrifying rock concert captures their hearts, they leave on a quest for music, girls, and self-indulgence. No one warned them about the nightmarish occurrences they could face on their dream trip.

Based on a true adventure in an out-of-the-ordinary setting, THE CONCERT is an unforgettable exploration of friendships and dangers looming along the stepping stones to adulthood.

About the Author

Lawson McDowell was almost born in the backseat of a Buick, but after a wild ride through the wheat fields near Dodge City, Kansas, they arrived at the hospital in the nick of time. That was in 1950. It seems Lawson has been in a hurry ever since.

When he was five, his family moved to Texas, establishing roots in the small town of Andrews, where his father worked in the oil industry. Lawson grew up with rattlesnakes, cowboys, and roustabouts in the rough-and-tumble oil boom years of the 50s and 60s.

After graduation from Texas Tech University, Lawson went to work for Southern Pacific Railroad. He advanced through the ranks, eventually leading operations in Los Angeles, Tucson, and Kansas City. At the corporate level, he served as director of safety in Denver and, for a time, chaired the Association of American Railroads Safety Section in Washington. D. C.

Lawson attended executive classes at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. While MIT upgraded his skills, he developed a love for Boston and the Red Sox.

After serving many years as Director of Network Operations for Union Pacific, Lawson is now enjoying retirement with his greatest passion, his wife, Virginia. You can contact Lawson through his website at http://www.LawsonMcDowell.com

A Memoir by Kathryn Cameron

With love to 10-year-old Kathryn

Memoir

Publication Date:‎ February 23, 2023

Publisher: ‎Mindstir Media

I am eighty-one now and still learning! As I look back over the years, I wonder what ten-year-old Kathryn (me) would think if she could see our life in advance. Kathryn, I think you would have been pleased and I am going to enjoy my conversation with you every step of the way. I want to share my learnings, musings, and stories with you. Kathryn, let me bring you up to date. It is hard to believe seventy-one years have gone by since I was your age.

Kathryn, I don’t mean to imply that life is perfect now or that I no longer have upsets. Being able to ask myself, “Who do I want to be in this situation?” and having some learnings to turn to have been powerful for me. And so at 81 years of age it is important to me to share those learnings hoping they will be found helpful to those between your(my) age at 10 and my age today.

About the Author

Kathryn Cameron spent over thirty years as a teacher and educational professional. She accepted a challenge from her son to share her wisdom in 81 and Still Learning. Her motivation for the project came from a deep desire for her grandchildren, especially, to know her, her values, and her story in this unique way. Kathryn enjoys duplicate bridge with her friends and online. She lives in Virginia with her husband, Jim, and their rescue cat, Simon.
