Books

 Hello. C J here. Here you can find a complete listing of all the books and downloads for the Astral series and the Legend series of games set in it. If you're looking for something to read then you're in the right pace. More will be added to this page over time. All of these downloads are free. You can find a link to the Patreon to donate to this project in the Pages menu. Enjoy!

 All of these books will also be in print. To save on the ludicrously expensive printing, shipping and retail costs of a book I’m doing the whole job myself. I own an industrial quality home printer, an hp 5101 laser ink tank printer to be exact. It can print 2000 pages on one in refill. I’m getting paper and high quality report covers off Amazon and Staples and then hand binding the books. Expect a game manual to retail directly from me for $75 and a novel directly from me for $35. The printing and binding costs are about $2.50 per book.

The digital versions will always be free. Also I never put a book out of print and once I have the system set up I will be taking direct and bulk orders for books. I am planning on selling these at conventions and hosting outdoor book readings and signings later on this or next year. I accept cash and can take cards through a Square. 

Novels 

Here's a link to my free novels and novel samples.

The Astral Chronicle

Imagine you have lived all your life in a nation. A normal nation with sky above, land below and sea on all sides. But some errand takes you beyond the borders of what you've known and so you hitch a ride on a ship going there. You sail past the place where you can no longer see land, past the boundaries of the world you know, past the place where the sky curves down and touches the horizon. Then you go through the sky and onto what lies on the other side. The vast expanse of mist and light known as the Astral. And, if you're a brave kind of soul, you'll find your place there amid the darkness and light. The Astral is home to only the brave, and the bravest of them are the Captain and his crew. This series of nine novels follows the Captain and his journeys through the Place Between Places.

Impossible Skyline

Zephyr is a teenage wind mage with a troubled home life. At night he blows off steam by flying around the buildings of downtown Ascala, where the wind is always blowing. Carbon is the leader of an all mage special task force in the city's police department. He's intelligent, capable and utterly, utterly alone. These two seemingly unrelated lives are thrust on a collision course one night when Zephyr sees one mage brutally kill another in downtown Ascala. Obsessed with finding the killer, he and Carbon both try to solve the case from opposite sides of the law. But the murders are only the beginning and soon the entire city may be at stake.

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Recipe - Lemon-Lime Soda

 Hello. C J here. I have here a recipe for homemade lemon-lime soda. This beverage is just as sweet as the original brand it’s based on but has actual lemon juice and lime juice in it. It tastes similar but not as acidic. Strangely this recipe worked the first time I made it. It’s mostly glucose syrup, which any chemist with my knowledge of food could make in a home kitchen. The recipe makes four cups, each one to be served over ice. One cup is mostly enough for one person. Ingredients One Cup Sugar One Half Cup Water One Tablespoon Lemon Juice Three Tablespoons Lime Juice Two and a Half Cups Soda Water For the Glucose Syrup Mix the sugar and the water in a medium saucepan. Put over medium heat and stir frequently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear. It should still be thicker than water. For the Soda Measure out two and a half cups of soda water. Pour into this the glucose syrup in a heat proof one quart measuring cup or other heat proof vessel. Add the lemon juic...

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
