The last time Emerald Tarragon met Barker Moon there was a powerful chemistry - that she forced herself to reject. Now Barker has returned - more determined than ever - and that electricity is back. But Emerald has been hunted for her powers all her life - and she is about to seal a deal with a powerful entrepreneur - a betrayal of her kind that will ensure her safety from a world that is determined to cage, own and control her. With Emerald and the casino she runs becoming a focal point for a massive supernatural battle - and with the city's witches and sorcerers preparing to fight for their lives - Emerald finds herself compelled to re-renter the drama that represents everything she is determined to leave behind; a clandestine conspiracy she wishes only to expose and dismantle… But this time, is Barker's fight really the good fight? And can there ever be justice against the power of a demon? Now, tonight, one rogue and angry sorceress will face a terrible decision - when the first great battle - in the last great war, between good and evil - will be determined completely upon the reckoning of Emerald Tarragon.
About the Author Alex James is a writer who lives in Adelaide, South Australia. He was born there on October 15th, 1967, and has lived there ever since. Alex studied European History, Classical Mythology, Film Studies and Screenwriting under the Communications and Liberal Studies banners at the South Australian College of Advanced Education (now the University of South Australia) but kept dropping out and going back and never finished anything (at least not to his knowledge). He then dabbled with being an advertising copywriter, was apparently quite good at it, but did not enjoy it. He read Tarot for a while, wrote thousands of trivia questions for Imagination Games, and was a 'film culture' columnist and reviewer (paid) for the print version of the Adelaide Independent Weekly, before the internet made everyone a critic (unpaid). Between 1992 and 2005 he wrote many, many, many outlines, treatments, concept documents, bibles, pilots and screenplays, for just about every active Australian production company there was. During that time, a few of these things even almost came close to nearly being made. A confirmed telly addict who was binge-watching series on videotape decades before it was even a thing, Alex is also a life-long film buff, who has lost count of how many billions of films, and zillions of episodes of television he has seen. Alex saw Star Wars at age ten in 1977, arguably the perfect age, at the magnificent but sadly-no-longer Regent Cinema One, which led him immediately on to Doctor Who, after which he never looked back. Growing up on BBC series from the 70s and 80s, he was honoured in 2002 to be one of several to have a go at the long-touted revival of Blake's 7. These remain, when all is said and done, his favourite things, alongside The Alan Parsons Project, The Waterboys and All About Eve. Alex is also a comedy aficionado, whose comedy heroes are too numerous to mention here, but will no doubt one day find their way into a dedication. In his spare time, Alex still reads and watches. His influences as an author include Douglas Adams, Julian May, Clive Barker, Philip Jose Farmer, Elmore Leonard, Philip K. Dick, Robert Sheckley, Michael Crichton, and Dan Simmons. He listens to audio books, comedy podcasts, woo-woo radio shows, while drinking coffee, and walking his dog Romana, sometimes all at once. At the time of writing, he has not had a drink for five years, or a cigarette for three. He thinks he might be getting hooked on ice cream though. Most recently, Alex was an in-house writer for Angel-Phoenix, who published his first two novels, 'The Pandora Sequence' and 'Venus A.I.', which were well-promoted at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con and apparently did quite well. Alex's most recent work has been published independently through Kindle Direct, Smashwords and IngramSpark.
