Forever: a World of Hek novel 15th Anniversary Edition

COMING MARCH 20!! Preorder soon.

From Robert Ford, author of The World of Hek series, A Christmas Burglary, and The Curse of the Translucent Monster: the 15th anniversary edition of the first World of Hek novel ever! First published in 2010, Forever is a time-traveling journey of a man cursed with immortality.

Immediately after getting shot and left for dead in 1789, Joshua Gibbon wished to live so that he may return to his wife, Sarah, never expecting that he would be forever cursed to live on while his loved ones grow old and die. Forever allows the reader to join Joshua Gibbon along his journey to meet those he loves during his lifetimes and experience the adventures that he is thrust into. Throughout his long life, Joshua gets the chance to fall in love with his first wife Sarah, the New Orleans witch Laetitia Janequin, Chicago flapper Julianna Hall, and modern-day detective Theresa Miller, each with secrets of their own.

This adventure is also fraught with danger from blood-thirsty mobs, sadistic men seeking powers untold of, and, of course, the wish-granting demon Hek. Overall, though, Forever is a tragic love story, as one man must navigate a life that should have ended a long time ago.

The Damned Treasure: a World of Hek novel

https://a.co/d/ggSQugJ

From Robert Ford, author of The World of Hek series, comes a tale quite different from any World of Hek adventure yet. Set in 1799, The Damned Treasure is a magical adventure on the dangerous high seas with the crew of The Holy Terror.

Immediately following the events in 2022’s Ease the Pain, freshly winged Mercy wished to see her man again, never suspecting that she would be thrown 200 years back in time to conduct her search from a pirate ship full of magical beings! Mercy becomes an unlikely ally in the pirates’ search for the treasure of the legendary City of Gold, El Dorado! Accepting her into their adventure are a time-traveling pirate captain, an immortal Viking, a Voodoo Queen, the queen of France, Marie Antoinette, and many others.

All have wishes of a better life, but in true Hek fashion, nothing is easy when dealing with the wish-granting Hek! This adventure is fraught with danger from blood-thirsty mobs, sadistic guards, the world-killing Jörmungandr, ravenous werewolves, and demonic harpies at every turn. Luckily, the crew of pirates are soon assisted by Captain Jack Nelson, Morgan le Fay, vampire Vincent Morávek, and a host of others as they traverse Paris, Australia, Ilha Grande, El Dorado, and an island of imprisoned goddesses in their pursuit of a damned treasure!

Ease the Pain is The World of Hek book released in 2022.

Five years ago, and now a man, Captain Jack Nelson shot and killed his partner to save thousands of lives. The pain that this action caused the captain, amongst countless other violent acts, forced him to retire from service. He is now being called back to defend his country from those who would challenge the president, save his loved ones from his own secretive military team, and to cure his drug addiction with experimental pills explicitly created for him. Such problems would be enough for any normal person, but the captain must also navigate his way through life with a new girlfriend named Mercy, a psychotic fallen angel with multiple personality disorder called Grace, and a being christened Hek, with a seemingly endless amount of power and a penchant for granting wishes.

Now back in the game, Captain Nelson’s insides are tearing him up as he delves back into a horrific world of assassinations and violence. With a goal of retiring once the missions are complete and moving in with Mercy, he soon finds that Grace would have him for herself and punish Mercy for trying to steal him away from her. With demons and violence at every turn, Jack may have to rely on the help of some other beings he always thought fictional: vampires!
