Charley is worried! Her archaeologist parents have been marooned on a sinking island and, when an antique mirror becomes a gateway to another world, she too faces many dangers. But she is helped by Charles, a boy version of herself she meets there, with whom she is unknowingly linked to a great source of magic. They must now flee through further magic mirrors to other worlds, pursued by horrific magical creatures sent by a sinister wizard who wants to tear this secret from them. Charley’s magical aunt accompanies them – at least her spirit does in the body of the cat, Selena. They travel through worlds that are both similar yet unlike their own in different times. They must journey from Charles’ Victorian home, through a future world where magic and science are in harmony, and finally in an ancient Britain where they meet versions of Merlin and Arthur. Finally, on the island of Lyonesse, they face the wizard himself within a magical maze in a desperate battle to rescue her parents and return them safely to their own world and time.

The end of times appears to be close for America and, for that matter, the world. The year is 2027, and things are out of control. Human trafficking is virtually ignored, while racial division is fueled by the media and the great influencers. Even churches have fallen asleep while trying to stay relevant in a woke world. The United Revival Party is a specialized group, wanting to save the world, but can they really be trusted? "America, the melting pot, is about to boil over," and you, the reader, have to decide who can possibly save it if anyone. If you think for one minute that this book can be depicted in two paragraphs, you're wrong. This book is woven together with many stories, one or more, that will touch you personally. Put away your bookmark, you're not going to need it. If you're looking for a book to read a little here, and a little there, this is not it. You won't be able to put it down. Behind the Gates of Scrape Ridge Shores is a riveting tale of mistakes, secret societies, and redemption. Mary Simpson - Educator This story is power packed! I have seldom read a book so gripping that brought me to tears in an instant and laughter in the next moment. This brought light to so many topics I was formerly in the dark on. A definite read for those whose strive for truth. Artistic Collections LLC

Maya San Lucas had been lost in her dreamworld for the better part of five years. Desparia was just a fantasy world for her to explore during stretches of boredom at school and at home. Going to that world let her have adventures, exploring secret locations, and searching through towns and cities for loot to come away with. The life of a thief was so much more exciting than high school, especially with no friends to speak of. After the battle at the museum, Maya returns to her dreamworld, this time in person. But was she really ready for the world of Desparia? Still stuck within the emperor's stronghold, the group continues in their quest to defeat the enemy that threatens the lives of everyone in the world. Everyone that doesn't conform to his idea of normal. But as they go deeper within the magical maze, they're sent straight to the heart of the afterlife. Surrounded by powerful beings, they must confront their own internal demons that rival those that surround them in the flesh. When you're stuck in hell, the only way out is through. When Heather first came into her powers, it wasn't the smoothest of transitions into the role of a mage initiate. Her magic destroyed her childhood home, with her parents along with it. As her powers continued to rage beyond her control, only the help of her new teacher could possibly let her go back to the normal life she so longed for. But when the emperor comes knocking, her choices are stripped from her, and her future is no longer her own.

This book is mostly a collection of true stories about demonic beings frightening, torturing, and creating chaos among humans. The first reason I authored this book was because I simply enjoy this topic. Yes, I am a bit odd. I find topics that are strange, mysterious, and diabolical to be interesting. The second reason is because we are in a spiritual battle, and I find many Christians that I know seem to be almost oblivious to this fact. My hope in this book is to make you more aware of the battle going on around us and that we can and should be ready to defend and battle Satan and his demonic army. “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Ephesians 6:12.

Whatever one does throughout his or her life is hard to be defined as good or bad as it appears to be, or how much impact it had on anything, in a sense that it will be remembered and appreciated. It has been said that whatever one’s life had left behind is worthwhile, but ironically most people don’t leave anything behind themselves. Therefore are they less valuable than others? There are also people that leave too much behind themselves, and that is not necessary in a good way. History is full of manmade disasters, pain, and suff ering. Most people that sacrifice everything in life for a moment of happiness for themselves or others do not even think of fame or gratitude, they just think that was the right thing to do. This book is about my life experience; it is also about the human sacrifice, the life as we know it, and about the tens of thousands of people that lived similar experiences but not necessarily with the same outcome.

Together in one volume, the first two novellas in the Daniel Gates Adventures. THE LUCIFER GLASS "It may cost you your soul." Daniel Gates is a fixer. Whatever his client wants, he can get for a price. But the price of his latest assignment is a high one indeed. He is to travel to Scotland to exchange a rare demonic text, a grimoire, for a consignment of even rarer whiskey. Reading the grimoire, Gates learns of the legend of Lucifer s Glass and the unholy trinity of green-eyed demons who protect it. As he does battle with the demons, Daniel realizes too late that there is much more to his assignment than meets the eye. He is locked in a struggle to save his very soul from damnation. THE LEPER WINDOW "Do not gaze into its secrets." Daniel Gates’s last assignment involving a rare demonic book left him plagued by hideous nightmares, which are about to get even worse. When a page is stolen from Choronzon’s Grimoire, Daniel is sent to the wilds of North Wales to retrieve it for his mysterious client. But the stolen page contains dark, occult secrets, and he finds to his peril that he is not the only one desperate to find it. Daniel’s journey takes him to the very brink of madness and to the demons that await—beyond the Leper Window.

Recent years have seen rapid strides in the level of sophistication of VLSI circuits. On the performance front, there is a vital need for techniques to design fast, low-power chips with minimum area for increasingly complex systems, while on the economic side there is the vastly increased pressure of time-to-market. These pressures have made the use of CAD tools mandatory in designing complex systems. Timing Analysis and Optimization of Sequential Circuits describes CAD algorithms for analyzing and optimizing the timing behavior of sequential circuits with special reference to performance parameters such as power and area. A unified approach to performance analysis and optimization of sequential circuits is presented. The state of the art in timing analysis and optimization techniques is described for circuits using edge-triggered or level-sensitive memory elements. Specific emphasis is placed on two methods that are true sequential timing optimizations techniques: retiming and clock skew optimization. Timing Analysis and Optimization of Sequential Circuits covers the following topics: Algorithms for sequential timing analysis Fast algorithms for clock skew optimization and their applications Efficient techniques for retiming large sequential circuits Coupling sequential and combinational optimizations. Timing Analysis and Optimization of Sequential Circuits is written for graduate students, researchers and professionals in the area of CAD for VLSI and VLSI circuit design.
