After Global Warming!
January 28, 2008
Can you
survive? This is asked of you when you turn to the back of T.C. McMullen’s new Thriller, Rise of he Arcadians.
It’s
2122, seventy-two years after the Upheaval changed the world. Continents, world-communication,
and modern technology are no longer what they once were. Society struggles to reestablish behind walls along what’s
left of the Eastern United States.
Darvid Squire, the leader of the citadel protecting the wall, relies on a rogue woman, Desire, for information and supplies.
She knows all about the wild outer lands thought too harsh to support human life, yet Desire knows the wild lands hold secrets
of old, secrets of hope.
One common
enemy has risen to threaten both the civilized and the wild lands – Oceaners, a race of cannibals who swarm the continents,
stripping from it resources and people. Desire must turn to her past to help her allies. Secrets of her ancestors mix with
the future, creating a family saga and coming of age tale inside a thriller.
It’s
been over two years since McMullen’s last release, Scorching Eden, but Rise of the Arcadians and the characters it introduces are well worth the wait. McMullen
resides in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and three children. She is currently writing
her next novel, Daughter of Gods, with more in a series to come soon.

Scorching Eden is Sizzling Hot!
October 10, 2005
Scorching Eden:
Book Three of the Manipulated Evil Trilogy is released to thrill readers with a conclusion called “one of the most satisfying
‘surprise endings’ I’ve ever read” by Nina M. Osier, author of multiple novels including 2005 Eppie
Award winner REGS.
It’s not just a battle to save the
world, but a battle to save the universe and all souls in it from annihilation. Scattered Souls: Book Two left readers breathless
for characters Ravyn and Kyle and the others of the legion. Scorching Eden
continues their tale in the struggle against Ravyn's half brother and his mentor, a man reminiscent of fallen angels.
They meet another species of humans long resigned to the misery of their world - a species that may be their only help. Emotions
run high through triumphs and failures. The decisions and sacrifices made will surprise you.

off special to readers who purchase the trilogy as a set. Visit http://manipulatedevilseries for all the details.
