Of Human Misery is for the most part, a romance, sprinkled with several love triangles, flavored by a few tabooed subjects and laced with the quest for undying passion that is yearned for in every life. The book revolves around one main heroine and the many struggles she faces in her lifetime. She is someone who desperately searches for happiness, however constant obstacles seem to always impede her path. Like many of the greatest love stories throughout history, all legendary romances need tragedy and separation, heartache and pain, and of course love, to fully capture a readers attention. The lead character, Shanna Somers, seeks affection and acceptance above all else and strives to find it in everyone she meets. This novel is set in many locales, from Nashville, Tennessee to New York City and Los Angeles. The character also ventures to Canada, The Orient, The Caribbean, Europe and Africa to make the story complete. Our saga envelopes all that is expected of a modern-day romance novel and produces a paramount of true love and a faithful love that challenges all time. The story provides the most useful insights into the human conditionthe anguish of loneliness and the agonizing ecstacy of heartbreak. If nothing else can be said about this piece of work it would be that it is a rare, yet dignified passionate portrait of a woman and her many challenges. These are challenges which encompass grief, heartache and a willingness to survive that is incomparable. I would like to introduce you to the first novel in a seriesOf Human Misery.

Galleon is a fantasy, steampunk novel, which questions an individual’s role within society and where those without power are looking to get it in any way they can. Set in Gallow, in the world of Eera, the population is facing a tumultuous change and nowhere is that more apparent than in its capital, Cerrano. A city made up of immigrants and inventors, those without magic are beginning to question their low status in society, railing against their position as lesser. Played out through three protagonists, Galleon introduces a world where sexuality is unlabelled, females are predominantly in charge, and power is entrenched with those who have always held it. Fifteen year old Greycoat cadet Lara Key has been trained since birth to be the perfect officer and, when sent to Cerrano to fulfil this role, finds herself in a city of colour and chaos that shakes loose the passions her trainers spent so long beating down. Inventor Watterson Teach, co-leader of the influential Steam Syndicate and father to liberationist agitator Evie, is struggling. He and his friend Modesto Cinnabarr find themselves embroiled in a scandal as their third business partner and oldest friend dies under strange circumstances, leaving them to keep the Syndicate afloat as the city closes in around them. Ridley Ripley and her quick-tempered girlfriend Friday return to Cerrano in the hopes of leaving their troubles behind them. However Ridley is a Shadow, a race of people from the far north with distinctive features and an even more unforgettable history. Galleon is similar to the work of Michael Ondaatje for composition and poetic use of description, Neil Gaiman for world building and characterisation, and Joe Abercrombie for grit in a fantasy setting.
