I am the author of the following books, all of which are available on Amazon. I would appreciate it if anyone interested picked up and reviewed one of them.

Women of the Plains
"Set in eastern Africa 100,000 years ago, Women of the Plains tells the story of a confrontation between two cultures of early Homo sapiens, the ancestors of all modern human beings. When the young huntress Oja gets separated from her nomadic band after a hunting accident, she finds herself in a strange place where the people have settled into permanent villages. As she struggles to find her place in this new world, her old friends Uru and Namak go looking for her. Oja must eventually choose between the way of life she has always known and that of the people who have embraced her as one of their own."

Priestess of the Lost Colony
"A headstrong Egyptian priestess, her brother, their sacked colony—and a rescue mission.

When Itaweret’s beloved Per-Pehu falls to the tyrannical Scylax, she and her brother Bek lead a mission to save her captured people and depose Scylax. Along the way, they run into all kinds of perils, friends, and foes—and beasts sent by an angry goddess. Set in ancient Greece 3,500 years ago, this is a tale blending magical realism with history, high adventure with discovery . . . and Itaweret’s determination to save her people while learning her heart’s desires and realizing her deeper purpose."

Carthage Atlantica: An Alternate History
"It is 200 BC, and the North African civilization of Carthage is recovering from a brutal war against the Roman Republic. Searching for new lands to colonize so they can rebuild their wealth, the Carthaginians send a fleet across the Atlantic Ocean that lands on the shore of North America, which they call “Atlantis”. As they struggle to adapt to this new world, the Carthaginian settlers find themselves drawn into a conflict between Native American nations, a conflict the colonists’ own leadership is willing to aggravate in the name of their personal ambitions. Can the colony of Carthage Atlantica survive in this account of alternate history?"

The Slave Prince of Zimbabwe
"Hailing from the land known as Ruthenia in eastern Europe, Drazhan Khazanov has found himself forced into bondage and brought all the way to the Sultanate of Kilwa on the southeastern coast of Africa. His master the Sultan has offered him a chance at manumission if he can abduct the fierce and beautiful Mambokadzi of Zimbabwe. But when she foils Drazhan's attempts to capture her and offers him an alternate path to the freedom he craves, they find themselves confronting the wrath of not only his former master but also the mightiest empire in the medieval world."

The Sultan of Finback Isle
"Having broken off from the other continents two hundred and sixty million years ago, the landmass known as Finback Isle has protected a unique ecosystem in the equatorial Pacific older than the dinosaurs themselves. Only a near-extinct nation of Polynesian settlers, followed by the crew of Ferdinand Magellan in 1520, have ever set foot on the island within the annals of human history.

And then Ibrahim Fawal, a native of Casablanca turned controversial new Chief of Police in Los Angeles, decided to establish his private winter getaway there.

Enter Abdullah and Monique Kalua, a daring husband-and-wife team of FBI agents sent to investigate the LAPD’s accelerated record of corruption and brutality under Fawal’s leadership, including the shooting of Monique’s own brother. Their mission is to penetrate Fawal’s secret lair and bring him to justice.

Not only must they brave treacherous jungle littered with Polynesian ruins and teeming with beasts from the late Paleozoic Era, but they must also contend with the armed officers of one of the most vicious men ever to head the police of Los Angeles…the Sultan of Finback Isle!"

Dinosaurs & Dames: A Selection of Short Stories

This is a self-published collection of short stories by amateur writer Brandon S. Pilcher. By and large, they are action-packed speculative-fiction tales featuring dinosaurs and other savage beasts, fierce female warriors and huntresses, and African cultural influences. Examples include...

* A young huntress who takes on a stampeding herd of stegosaurs.
* A veteran Egyptian warrior who must defend her beliefs---and her little niece---from persecution by a tyrannical Pharaoh's minions.
* A Tyrannosaurus rex who must risk his life to slake his hunger.
* A professional photographer and his beautiful native guide who search for the perfect shot in a jungle with dinosaurs.
* And many more!

So if you like adventure, strong heroines, prehistoric wildlife, and non-Western fantasy and historical settings, these stories shall slake your appetite like none other!

Beasts & Beauties: A Second Selection of Short Stories
Brandon S. Pilcher, the author of the stories collected in Dinosaurs & Dames, returns with a selection of eight more action-packed tales of strong heroines of color, fearsome adversaries, and savage beasts. Examples of these tales include...

* A rebellious ancient Egyptian warrior and her little niece who find themselves trapped in a dangerous royal menagerie. * A jungle huntress who must rescue her sister from sacrifice to a long-lost god.
* A trained dinosaur wrangler who must track down an escaped Brontosaurus.
* A princess who must settle an international dispute through a ball game...that may mean life or death.
* And several more!

If you love dinosaurs and other fierce beasts, ancient history, and strong and fierce heroines of color, these are the stories for you!
