	Fourteen Faces	by Garry Linahan Oct. 31, 2011	Free!	7932 words	Read a sample
	This is really a combination novel/poem I put together accidentally somehow. I just kind of typed away and let it unfold. What's it about? Greed, love, lust, mind control, ancient fables, mythology, a sick planet. A man is chosen to save the world from all the evils that hold and threaten that world, that threaten every person and every creature alive. The cover is a painting I did for this story.

	Relive the mystery and the magic of Ancient Egypt. Witness the creation of the Gift of the Nile amid the primeval waters and the struggle of the gods to bring kingship to the land. Follow the triumphs and the tragedies of Pharaohs, priests, and people as they built wonders that dazzle us today -- wonders of which only ruins remain. Relive a life that will dazzle the world as long as humans endure.

This bilingual collection is a cross-section emphasizing the stylistic breadth of the poet's works.

	Storyteller Songs	by G. R. Grove Sep. 25, 2010	$2.99	8130 words	Sample 50%
	This is a collection of poetry taken from the "Young Gwernin" trilogy of the Storyteller series: historical novels about Britain and her bards in the years after King Arthur's death. If you haven't read them yet, you might want to start there, as some of these poems could be considered plot spoilers. On the other hand, you could just plunge in now and see how you like Gwernin's world...
	Pryderi's Pigs and other poems	by G. R. Grove Sep. 08, 2010	$2.99	18791 words	Sample 50%
	This is my second poetry collection. Most of these poems are written in medieval fixed forms – one of my on-going quests being a search for ways of reproducing the sound and feel of medieval Welsh poetry in modern English. And yet, because the bardic art I practice is a performance art, these are in a larger sense not my poems at all, but merely pale imitations – poems preserved on paper.
	King Arthur's Raid on Hell and other poems	by G. R. Grove Sep. 02, 2010	$2.99	15698 words	Sample 50%
	Most of these poems are written in medieval fixed forms, or approximations of medieval forms – one of my on-going quests being a search for ways of reproducing the sound and feel of medieval Welsh poetry in modern English. And yet, because the bardic art I practice is a performance art, these are in a larger sense not my poems at all, but merely pale imitations – poems preserved on paper.
	The Fyrdhwæt Saga	by Patrisha Reece-Davies May 18, 2010	$2.99	3937 words	Sample 15%
	An epic tale of adventure told in verse, with lines in traditional Anglo-Saxon. Discussed and approved by scholars. Includes full introduction and translation notes. Fyrdhwæt is unloved and rejected by his people. Valiantly he slays three terrible monsters, but his bravery goes un-acclaimed. The poem is romantic, sad, exciting and very much open to interpretation.
