Book Two of the Chronicles of Aesirium: On the world of Aerthos, the large community of Oldtown-Against-the-Wall has long been the refuge for the former citizens of the city of Aesirium, Utopian citadel of science and magic. But outside the defensive wall, the exiled townspeople have fallen under siege by undead monsters from the wild. Among them, however, a trio of young children seem to be key to the survival and evolution of this town. Can they learn to utilize their individual skills and talents in time? And what is the Morrow stone, what role does it play, and why do so many people seek it?

A collection of observations penned by author and musician Ren Cummins over the past ten years, encompassing a broad span of topics involving the process of growing up (or growing old) in the pop-culture-rich environment of 20th and 21st century America. A self-professed "Geek", Ren's association with comic books, science fiction, saturday morning television and the SCA all come together in a brisk examination of career exploration, philosophy and becoming a Father with a style that is at turns amusing and sober. Ren's love of the English (and Spanish) language bears the part of the passenger, deliberate wordplay evident throughout. A thought-provoking - and at times irreverent - self-examination of one man's struggle to grow up but not entirely grow old.

ANACHRONOLOGY ONE is the first full collection of short stories by author Ren Cummins, with some of his earliest published writings and new never-before-seen works. Genre fiction ranging from the darkly comedic "God's Brownies" to the romantic retelling of the classic Nutcracker in "The Rat King," Cummins shows his range and diversity while showcasing some of his more emotional and thought-provoking work in stories like "Reaper's Breath" and "Kaiju, Blue." These eleven tales of love, loss, adventure and introspection are brought together for the first time in this entertaining and enjoyable collection!

The world of Aerthos stands at the brink of calamity, though there are few who see it. And at the center of the horizon event stands the inexplicable key to its salvation or fall: a dead man. Sjora, captain of the airship Lamprey, must sneak into one of the largest of the technology-focused Steel Cities, locate and liberate this so-called "dead man", even though it is unclear what part he has to play in their world's future. An already complicated mission becomes even moreso when she learns that this dead man is not only not as completely dead as she had suspected, but that he may just have an agenda of his own. Return to the magical and steam-powered world of Aerthos in the latest series by Steampunk/Science Fiction and Fantasy author Ren Cummins, the Tales of the Dead Man, with book one: Steel & Sky!
