About the Author
Kathleen Flanagan Rollins writes the award-winning Misfits and Heroes prehistoric adventure series about early explorers who reached the Americas. Her short stories have appeared in The Foliate Oak, The Sunlight Press, and Shark Reef Literary Journal.

She slumped against the rock and hugged her arm close to her body. "Do I have a clan? I bear the marks of my clan, my history from the day I left childhood behind to the moment I was accepted as a fully initiated member, right here, written for all to see, yet I ran away from my clan before they could finish killing me."

Lured to the mysterious rock by prophetic dreams, Nulo the dwarf discovers what he always knew he would find: a sign that his South Pacific tribe is not alone in the new land.

But not everyone welcomes the news. Some, including Nulo's wife, want to ignore the strangers, but Nulo knows they must meet the people who left the message carved on the stone. He doesn't know that others also roam the wild country, men pushed out of their villages and left to survive any way they can.

The third entry in the Misfits and Heroes series, A Meeting of Clans follows a group from the north coast and one from the south coast as they push across the wild interior of what is now southern Mexico, 14,000 years ago.

Amelia, devastated by her choice to distance herself from her soul's true mate, dreams of a shadowy man and woman who are destined by fate to live their story over and over again.

But some dreams are not dreams at all.

With formidable foes closing in on all sides, the Deschanels must come together to make their loved ones whole if they have any chance at all of surviving what's coming.

The House of Crimson & Clover continues in the fourth volume, Bound.

Fate demands a sacrifice.

Finn lost everything when Ana left.

He's not oblivious to the whispers, the pity from others who believe he should move on.

But he can't move on. Because he's missing part of himself. The part that makes him whole.

Ana no longer knows who she is.

Or what.

She longs equally for what she has and what she left behind, torn between two opposing worlds.

As Aidrik watches Ana's life force drain away, now beyond the help of his magic, he realizes fate demands a sacrifice.

One that goes against everything he has come to believe over thousands of years.

But it is the only thing that will save Ana now.

ONE OF MANKIND'S GREATEST LEGENDS HAS BEEN DISCOVERED. SOMETHING EVERY CIVILIZATION HAS SEARCHED FOR... BUT NOT WHAT ANYONE WAS EXPECTING. Facing the cold, clear glass, Alison Shaw stared nervously into the giant seawater tank. It was just one year ago that she and her team of marine biologists had stunned the world with their incredible breakthrough. And now...they were about to do it again. But an ocean away, something strange was unfolding. Along a lonely coast in South America, an experimental Russian submarine -- long thought to have been dismantled -- has suddenly resurfaced. And the U.S. Navy has taken notice, sending officers John Clay and Steve Caesare to investigate. The sub has been studying a group of unmarked soldiers. Disappearing into the jungle each night beneath the cover of darkness. Something has been discovered. Something big. Unfortunately, the soldiers are about to learn that making the find of the century is one thing. Keeping it, is another.

All curses are born of vengeance.

Dormant for a decade, the Deschanels' worst nightmare returns with a tragedy and quickly escalates into the unimaginable.

A cruel, terrible scheme that will ruin lives to save them.

The Deschanel Magi Collective has spent hundreds of years searching for a way to stop the ancient, malevolent evil, and has never come close to winning.

But failure will lead to more death, and time is not on their side.

The desperate sacrifices of two young Deschanels will drive an irrevocable split straight through the center of their midnight dynasty.

“5/5 stars. Misfits & Heroes approaches a historical confluence of human exploration and geographic configuration from the viewpoint of two ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Rollins has created an entirely believable prehistoric world with genuine characters and exciting adventures. The text is both lyrical and stark, where required, and Rollins' style is effortless and highly engaging.“  —Janine Stinson, ForeWord Clarion Reviews

A thief offers a woman a chance at a new life by cutting her bonds, beginning a journey that will take both of them downriver and out to the coast of West Africa. The time is 12,000 BC, and war is breaking out between the villages on the coast. Frantic to escape, the two travelers join others fleeing the chaos of battle. They think they'll be safe if they head down the coast by boat, but the sea sweeps them out into a new, very different world and a destiny they couldn't have imagined.

About the Author
After receiving her Masters degree in English, Rollins taught composition and literature, including World Literature and Latin American Literature, and became fascinated by the extraordinary wealth of ancient Mesoamerican culture, which is often overlooked in history books. This research, as well as travel to ancient sites in Africa, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, provided the inspiration for this book. It deals with early explorers in the Western Hemisphere - amazing people who dared to leave everything they knew behind and create a new life in a new world.

 

The House of Crimson & Clover continues in the eighth volume, The Myths of Midwinter.

Beware the myths of Midwinter.

Quillan Sullivan never got over losing his twin brother years ago, but he hasn't had to. Because Quillan can still see and speak with Riley, though no one else can.

He believes this gift is an accident until the haughty, vainglorious unrequited love of his life, Estella, returns to town and rips his world apart.

Estella loathes Quillan. She always has. But he alone holds the key to her greatest desire, and she'll do anything to reach her aims, despite the dire warnings-and the terrible cost to Quillan.

Beyond New Orleans, Finn and Aleksandr are on a mission to rescue Anasofiya and bring her home. Finn tentatively accepts help from Nerys on the condition the Empyrean stop withholding secrets.

Nerys keeps her promise until an old companion sends her a series of horrifying visions revealing the latest menace to plague the Deschanels: a necromancer has emerged, and this ominous knowledge has fallen into the wrong hands.

Power and desperation weave the Deschanels and Sullivans down a perilous path as an ancient caution emerges.

Seduction to sinners. A legacy in splinters. Beware the myths of midwinter.

Past the Last Island The South Pacific Islands, 14,000 years ago - crossroads of cultures from Asia to Australia After their island is ravaged by tidal flooding, some villagers turn to a brutal leader for protection, but others flee by night, taking to the open sea in a quest to find a new life. They meet others along the way, people driven to find whatever lies beyond the edge of the world. On the great open sea, they enter a world still ruled by spirits, a place of wonders where beauty and danger live side by side. Some give their life to the journey.

About the Author
Kathleen Flanagan Rollins taught composition and literature t Mott College in Flint, Michigan and developed a decades-long fascination with early explorers in the Western Hemisphere. Travels in Europe, Africa, Australia, and the Americas, especially ancient sites in Mexico Guatemala, and South America, provided the inspiration for the award-wining Misfits and Heroes series.

It began in Ethiopia, hundreds of thousands of years ago. When a handful of genetic mutations caused evolution to split from the primates. And mankind was born. Now, eons later, evidence of more splits from the apes are being unearthed. And with them, a disturbing realization. Ours was only one of many. And yet we survived. But it was not by luck or chance. We survived because humans had something the others did not. A unique ingredient that has only now been rediscovered. First in the mountains of South America, where it was promptly destroyed by the Chinese. And now a second source in Africa. The epicenter of mankind's very inception. A place that John Clay and Alison Shaw must find quickly. Because the Russians already know what we are searching for. And the Chinese want back what is rightfully theirs. The mother of all secrets awaits the world, in Africa. One that will not only explain who we are, but will decipher the very code within our own DNA.

The House of Crimson & Clover continues in the second volume, Shattered.

Ana can't run from the darkness inside of her.

Ana's shattered heart is divided between the St. Andrews brothers.

One light. One dark.

Finn's kind heart offers a selfless love she doesn't deserve as Jon's embrace of darkness swiftly turns to cruelty.

The delicate line between love and hate casts a dark pall over their tense household, rooted in the dangerous, deadly secret that binds all three together-forever.

It's long been time for her to return home to New Orleans. For Finn's sake. For Jon's.

Even for her own.

But hope keeps her in the arms of one man, and the crosshairs of another.

And now there's nothing, nothing that can stop the catastrophic landslide her choice has put in motion.

The House of Crimson & Clover continues in the third volume, The Illusions of Eventide.

The mystic awakens.

Nicolas' life is painted by betrayal.

Stinging disloyalty from the two people he loves most leads to overwhelming loss, and an existence devoid of purpose.

He takes a note out of Ana's playbook and flees the pain, ending up at his family's holiday home in the Gulf of Mexico.

Instead of solitude he finds Mercy, a breathtaking woman with many layers of secrets and a stubborn refusal to answer any of his reasonable questions.

Mercy needs Nicolas, but he can never know the truth: that she is not a woman at all, but a being thousands of years old, at the end of a journey she needs his unwitting help to complete.

But in her presence, Nicolas' own dormant magic starts to surface.

Magic he was never supposed to get back.

Magic that awakens beings more ancient-and dangerous-than Mercy.

Yet under the surface lurks the shadows of their past and the dark promises of tomorrow.

A reckoning awaits, and this time, there's nothing left to do but meet it head on.

About the Author
arah is the USA Today Bestselling Author of the Paranormal Southern Gothic series, The House of Crimson & Clover, born of her combined passion for New Orleans, family sagas, and the mysterious complexity of human nature. Her work has been described as rich, emotive, and highly dimensional. An unabashed geek, Sarah enjoys studying subjects like the Plantagenet and Ptolemaic dynasties, and settling debates on provocative Tolkien topics such as why the Great Eagles are not Gandalf's personal taxi service. Passionate about travel, Sarah has visited over twenty countries collecting sparks of inspiration (though New Orleans is where her heart rests). She's a self-professed expert at crafting original songs to sing to her very patient pets, and a seasoned professional at finding ways to humiliate herself (bonus points if it happens in public). When at home in Oregon, her husband and best friend, James, is very kind about indulging her love of fast German cars and expensive lattes.
