A Strange Place In Time! What is it? Where is it? Why is it?
"Dear Sir or Madam, would you read my book?
It took me years to write, would you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear,
And I need a job, and I want to be a paperback writer..."

Raised in a motorcycle gang, John Arrowsmith has a bad case of wanderlust.
He's not sure what drives him, but he knows he has to go, and
he has the perfect machine to ride on; the big custom bike he calls Harley.
When he and Harley get run off the road and wake up someplace completely unfamiliar, Arrowsmith knows something has gone pretty darned wrong. |

Mychael Black, popular Torquere Press author writes of Book One:
What's a biker, who--along with his monstrosity of a motorcycle--gets thrown into another world, do?
He rolls with it.
... This is one of the most awesome fantasy stories I have ever read. I stayed up ‘til odd hours of the morning, then jumped back on again to finish. The predicaments John finds himself in are funny, but also intriguing. I was drawn wholeheartedly into his tale and when it was done, well, I admit: I emailed Alyx and begged for book 2!
If you like fantasies, then you will absolutely LOVE this one! It has that lighthearted but serious, sweet and comic fairy tale feel to it, while still managing a romance and a plot that leave you clamoring for more. I've been a fan of Alyx's for a while, and this is, by far, her best work yet.
Well if ya can't trust Mycheal then who can ya trust, a talking rat? It's $5.95, and has a real pretty cover by in-house artist Pluto, and best of all if ya print it out and mail it to me, I'll sign it for you! |
I also have several short stories available through Torquere.

'A Christmas for Vice'
Vice has loved Cage for as long as he can remember, and continues to love him even though the world around them has collapsed to the point where they are no longer certain what city they live in. They do their best to survive by scavenging, and by staying underground, away from the dangers that creep out at night. But when the evil begins stalking their doors, they have no choice but to find a way to fight back.
'Road Trip'
After many long years of slowly watching his ranch go down hill, and seeing the people he cares for die or leave, Jack is left with virtually nothing. His only remaining ranch hand is a young man named Daniel, a man who has also become Jack’s friend. When Daniel offers to use his savings to buy Jack some more live stock, they embark on a long road trip that leads to much more than the Edmonton Stock Yards.
'Sleep Walk With Me'
Wounded and dying in the woods, Mick figures his fate seems sealed after he's been shot by a former friend. However, a mysterious and strikingly handsome stranger comes to his aid, and life for Mick takes a very strange turn. Just when he thinks things can't get worse, something might just turn his world around. 'The Thunder Horse'
It’s not all glory and glamour being the personal assistant of a major rock star, but Andrew does the job as well as he can. And when he's asked to procure a horse for a music video, he finds the most beautiful horse he’s ever seen. However, the mighty black stallion has had a dark and troubled past, much like the man Andrew works for, Nathan Maynard. Now Andrew has a rival for Nathan’s affection; a huge, hairy rival with four feet and a long nose. What’s most frustrating about that is the horse appears to be winning…
