Hamlet as the "Ill-Made Knight." How many of us have wrestled with the character of Hamlet? Was he insane? Was he feigning insanity? Did his "antic disposition" lead him into insanity? And what about all the contradictions? Contemplative down to his very marrow, yet everything he does on stage is on impulse. A likeable character (witty, a punster, and a rhymer--even his uncle admits of "the great love the general gender bear him"), yet he is responsible for one of the larger "body counts" in any stage production. Theories for his "particular" behavior abound. Trust in Princes takes its cue from T. H. White's Sir Lancelot in Once and Future King, offering up an adolescent Hamlet as an "Ill-Made Knight" of sorts. Herein, Hamlet's desire to be a good king, like his father, runs into a growing low self-image that crumbles all the more as he deals with a problematic, lustful thought-life--an almost double life. As he comes to rely on the good character of all those around him whom he loves, we see building in him tremendous relationships--two loving parents, a sweet Ophelia, a trustworthy Horatio, praiseworthy Laertes (his hero), the affectionate mentorship of Yorick (the king's jester), and the sound tutelage of Marcellus (in this story, the master of the sword). Will these relationships see him through the storms of life, or will he descend into that feared insanity, reeling in disillusionment as he learns the truth: that the biblical injunction, "Put not your trust in Princes," has a double edge to it?

A single woman's journey with her twenty-four points of life, this is the tale of the youngest of four raised by quasi-empty nester parents in the fast-growing suburbs of Chicago. Through several political assassinations, a deadly tornado, and absent siblings by the tender age of ten, Anna quickly grew accustomed to a life of solitude and a developing self-competence. Leading the way as mentors, Anna's three older siblings acted as superb role models even if from a distance. Along with guidance from her aging parents, she learned the importance of a robust education, a healthy work ethic, and being kind to others. Sadly, Anna was never able to conceive children but rather found herself traveling across the country and uncoupling from ex-husbands as the fertile years faded. To stay afloat financially, Anna earned college degrees while working full-time jobs, quenching her thirst for knowledge while cultivating vital skills. She focused on nurturing new and lifelong friendships, building a list of invigorating hobbies, and learning to enjoy her own company, especially as sibling rivalry reared its ugly head. Her twenty-four points of life unmistakably lay the groundwork for solo success for women and men alike.

Empress Isabella feared the burly-bodied, six-legged, narrow-headed creature known as kessra. Her fear of the Planos predator, combined with the late Admiral Harrington's suspicions of the creature's intelligence, made each seek a different path to aid Jennifer and the natives of Planos.Isabella never imagined the transformation of Jennifer's mountain cavern home into a functional pioneering homestead with a few modern technological advantages to enhance their safety would become the focal point of the fearsome creature's rage.She knew Taric was aware the empire had to remain true to the charter's bylaws of noninterference in the natural progression of species evolution. Upon receiving Taric's vid message, she witnessed his emergence as a leader, formally requesting the establishment of political and trade relations between their worlds, instantly providing the empire an opportunity to assist without actively interfering with a trade partner's internal affairs.Leaning back in her desk chair with her eyes closed, imagining Jennifer witnessing the siege of her mountain home amid a rising number of savage, unforgiving predators encroaching into the territory, a frightening vision began to play out in her mind of terrifying enraged beasts rapidly advancing toward Jennifer in a coordinated swarm.Shivering with fright, not wishing to see further into the depths of her imagination, Isabella opened her eyes, fearfully shouting in the privacy of her empty office, "No! No! That's not real!"Yet questioning the imaginative visions within her mind's eye, Isabella sensed a faint nagging presence of premonition, asking her, "Or is it?"Apprehensive of the grim reality facing Planos increased Isabella's anxiety over the survival of vulnerable natives living in the eastern wilderness. However, in this case, Isabella believed any variation of humanoid life in the galaxy has more value than a merciless predator with feeding habits akin to sharks inhabiting Earth's oceans.Isabella had to return to Planos, secretly hoping Merlin, the AI inhabiting the fleet's flagship, Maleficent, could ascertain the true scope of the crisis and provide a course of action without violating the charter's strict bylaws.

Thirty long and grueling years have passed since humanity started rebuilding the world after the outbreak of an unknown virus that reanimates the dead into unintelligent cannibalistic creatures. During the thirty-year time frame, mankind has bounced back from the brink of extinction and started reforming the world in their image. The undead, known as betas, were still a common occurrence but were far less prevalent than before. This outcome was all thanks to the synthesis of a cure to stop further infections that was freely administered to the populace. Many thought this would finally be the start of things returning to how they were before the beta apocalypse. Many were incorrect. The multitude of societies and power centers that arose wanted to retain and grow their own power, and very few worked together. Now is an age where these pseudo-nations either make their own way and rise to greatness or perish in the new world. In the city-state of New Bethlehem lives Jayden Thrattis, a twenty-two-year-old male who, along with his friends, lives his life as best as he can until, one day, war finds its way to the walls of their settlement. Now Jayden must help defend his home from all enemies, whether they be humans from an imperialistic kingdom or from himself and the person he chooses to become as he juggles self-sacrifice and his own self-worth.
