Featured Sci-fantasy: Christmas Presence (A Claus Universe Prequel) by Tony Pertauski

December 3, 2025 by Carolynn

WORLDS ARE WAITING TO BE OPENED.

Van Holloway wanted one thing: survive a Christmas party without looking like a total disaster. Instead, he got dragged into a virtual game that came with glasses that weren’t glasses and rules that weren’t rules.

Oops.

Turns out there’s a world inside the glasses. A place of clockwork toys, abandoned workshops, and secrets nobody ever meant to unwrap. Van and Charli (yes, the crush, yes, awkward) stumble out of the game with more than they bargained for. And something… stumbles out after them.

Now reality’s misfiring like cheap Christmas lights. Something really wants back what they accidentally took from the game.

From droids in Santa suits to gingerbread rebels with attitude, Van and Charli are stuck in a war between belief and machinery, myth and madness. To make it home alive, they’ll have to trust each other, cling to what’s real, and take on the one enemy stronger than magic itself: doubt.

Christmas Presence: The Prequel launches the Claus Universe with sci-fi sparkle, fantasy mayhem, and enough heart to melt the North Pole. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, The Santa Clause, and Ready Player One.

The Mist Riders Series Box Set (Books 1-3): An Urban Fantasy

FREE as of December 3, 2025

Apple, Nook, Kobo, GooglePlay

WANTED: One Lunar Witch, preferably naïve.

This collection includes the first three novels in the thrilling Urban Fantasy series MIST RIDERS.

Being born a witch has always been just a detail from my past, you know, like summer camp, or the time Timmy ate a bug, but now, thanks to one very pushy Immortal, a handful of mutant shifters, a psycho named Chaos and a nice guy (I think) named Emmet, my magic’s become a real pain in my ass.

San Diego was a totally chill choice for college, until this whole moon-cycle madness was thrown in my lap (more like shoved in my face) and now I’m bumbling with basic spells, crash studying to go from zero to fierce in a matter of days.

Only problem with this test is that it’s graded pass/fail where failure is death.

I wouldn’t wish magic on anyone. It attracts all the wrong entities, the kind you can’t run from, the kind who always find you, the kind who know your dark secrets even before you do.

“Laugh out loud funny, witty, snarky and clever. Best read this year.”

Grab the first half of the complete Federal Bureau of Magic series in one handy omnibus and join the fun.

Welcome to Chipping Cheddar, where supernaturals are hidden in plain sight…

Annoying but loving family? Check.
Picturesque small town with a hot police chief? Check.
A rescue hellhound, a black cat with attitude, and a pet python that thinks he’s a puppy? Triple check.

My story has all the hallmarks of a sweet and cozy supernatural tale, but there’s a twist— I am evil.
Well, I’m supposed to be evil thanks to both nature and nurture, but I fight it with every fiber of my being. I just want to live a normal life. I even joined the FBI instead of the Federal Bureau of Magic, until my powers reared their ugly head and the agency sent me packing back to my hometown to fight magical crimes instead. Now I’m back in Chipping Cheddar, living with my evil family, with a new job and all my old baggage.

Oh, and there’s a dead body, which was definitely not an accident. So there you have it.
Welcome to my world.

“Spell-binding! Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Call it techno-thriller, call it science fiction, call it just terrific story-telling.” Terry Brooks, #1 NY Times Bestselling author of the Shannara series and Star Wars Phantom Menace

A war beyond time. An enemy beyond space. A thriller beyond your wildest dreams. Three areas on the Earth’s surface defy explanation: the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil’s Sea of Japan, and a small region of Cambodia. Inside these realms, planes have disappeared, ships have vanished, and, in Cambodia, an entire civilization has been lost leaving behind Angkor Wat.

In 1945, Training Flight 19 disappears in the Bermuda Triangle. In 1963, the USS Thresher, a nuclear submarine, is lost under unusual circumstances, part of a secret government investigation into mysterious gates. Near the end of the Vietnam War, Green Beret Eric Dane led a team of operatives deep into Cambodia and encountered a strange fog near the legendary city of Angkor Kol Ker. His entire team disappears, attacked by strange creatures out of the fog. Only Dane survives to return.

Now a plane goes down. In the same area Dane lost his team. He’s called back. To find out who is the darkness behind these gates to our planet. What does this Shadow force want? It is a threat that will take on the world’s greatest military forces and defeat them. A power that will overwhelm our science and technology. A merciless enemy that will lead Dane—and the whole planet—into the final desperate battle for survival.

A #1 Kindle Science Fiction Bestseller in both the U.S. and U.K.
