In this somewhat dark, often comic look at how the federal government would function and Americans would react to a total ban on ownership/possession of any and all guns, author Glenn A. Bruce presents a “what if” of extreme behaviors—from relief to joy to panic to violence. Some gun owners are happy to turn over their weapons if it means a safer gun-free America; others will fight to the bitter end to maintain their “right to bear arms”—often with deadly results. Taking on the entirety of the United States government can be hazardous to one’s health!​ Underlying the methodical sweeping up of every gun in America there emerges a shadowy plot to do… something. We are never sure exactly what that is until the tense and exciting climax when secretive dark forces converge on Washington to “finish what we started.” Is it a government-driven “false flag”? Is it an attempted coup? Who are the real players, and what is their intent? What is going on in the hidden basement of an abandoned Federal building in D.C., and what does a loner “idealist” from a compound in Idaho have to do with it? What about the well-meaning new President and his snarky female VP? Are they aware of what is happening? At all?​ Everything, and everyone, is related in some way, whether they realize it or not. They will come together in the end to put a crushing halt to it all. Guns will be gathered, and lives will be lost. The Constitution will be tested, and truth will be moot. Will America survive? Only our hero, the mysterious ex-Marine David Billows knows—and he is not saying. He is clearly on a mission—and he will succeed. But at what cost?

Union-buster Ellen Powers has lost every speck of humanity she had as a young lawyer.

And why does someone from her dreams turn out to be a real person? To answer these questions, Ellen must discover her “Pull” and what the President of the United States has to do with it. Seeking these answers will prove the most terrifying and liberating experience of Ellen Powers’ life—if she can survive it.

We fear discovery when we should fear what there is to discover. Lovecraft and his successors show a world where human civilisation is only a thin veneer over black seas of ignorance. A world where men exalted for their reason uncover logic-defying truths. A world where the marginalised discover uncaring horror on the fringes of a society that rejects them. A world where the bonds between us unravel. But what of those who wear their own averageness like a veneer? Neither drawn toward the horror by academic curiosity nor driven their by society, but unmoored by a mundane secret. A Spanish priest struggling with base desires plots to save a native child from brutal sacrifice. A veteran hiding the extent of his mental wounds discovers the true war on terror is very different. A delinquent’s secret passion for stamp collecting draws him into a dark bargain. And nine more tales of overtly normal people coming adrift in an incomprehensible universe.

The Man is a tense, dark non-linear roller coaster ride from thriller writer Glenn A. Bruce. The complex story of a family man whose past will certainly destroy everything he loves - and everyone he loves with it - is a time-twisted excursion into his former ways as his present unfolds at a frightening pace. His world is completely spinning out of control and he can do nothing to stop it - unless he returns to The Man he was. His Wife can't possibly understand why their daughter is missing, or how her own dark past is the key piece in this unsettling puzzle that becomes their lives. In The End, there are really no choices but one. The question is: Who will make that final decision? Will it be The Man, his Wife - or others who cruelly hold their fate in fickle, vengeful hands.

In his first collection of short stories, Glenn A. Bruce proves his love of language and complex characters. Rest Along The Way is full of life. Some stories are funny, some tragic; some speak of desperation, some of triumph. Often the lines are blurred. In a refreshing take on the form, Mr. Bruce does not write solely for the purpose of irony. The stories are not without it, but don't rely on it. He is more concerned with the real people who populate his stories of everyday whimsy and loss, God and godlessness, love and hate. Diversity is the name of his game, and enjoyment is found on every page. He obviously loves what he does, is careful with his crafting, and tells the tales he wants to share. Rest Along The Way is a small marvel of fine storytelling. Glenn A. Bruce has a way of making the mundane intriguing, and the fantastic just the stuff of someone's every day. You will find a lot to like in these pages: socialites and hillbillies, drug takers and dealers, home owners and home wreckers - dogs, nudists, happy murderers and proselytizing children - they're all here!

The Maples is a comic novel with several ongoing family mysteries that are mostly solved when the four siblings and their partners join their parents for a family-related funeral.

Les Moore, special serial killer task force leader whose wife and daughter were murdered by the notoriously grisly Riverbend Killer, returns from a self-imposed 3-year "hiatus" to pick up where he left off. His only problem? His boss, the ridiculously incompetent Phil Brinkman, has saddled Les with a partner he doesn't want: Cyndra Baker. She's a decade younger and hungry for success-still pissed-off at being only second in her class at Quantico. Cyndra's job is to keep an eye on Les, make sure he follows the book and does whatever Phil Brinkman orders, however ridiculous. The problem? Les is as elusive as a ghost, and he threw the book away years ago. He also has no use for Phil Brinkman whatsoever... unless Brinkman is the killer they're seeking. But then, it could be anybody. EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a tense thriller laced with dark humor and raw personal encounters-a page-turner like you've never read before.
