Malachi Mata is an independent novelist in his favorite genres: sci-fi, fantasy, and action adventure. He loves a story that's told simply, dramatically, and emotionally, with a little something extra that makes you think.

Malachi believes that science fiction and fantasy are in a unique position to explore themes more deeply. In science fiction and fantasy, you can put characters in almost any position, and find out what they are all about.

"Story is the language of the human heart, more powerful than any other form of communication."

Malachi believes that fiction is oftentimes more honest and truer than non-fiction because stories get at the very essence of who we are and they speak to us better than facts and figures. With stories, you can cut straight to the heart.

THE PORTAL: SCIENCE FICTION MEETS FANTASY HEAD ON IN THIS ACTION ADVENTURE NOVEL

Swords, shields, and spears stand outside the gates of the mystical city of Wieese, the first battle of the Reclamation War. But the leader of that battle, Deelo Con, is swallowed up by a portal and taken to another world. Ten years later, he emerges a new man with no memories of where he's been. And he has magic powers - the ability to hurl stones from relics, shoot lava from staffs, and see beyond his own eyes.

With everyone in the empire scrambling for an edge in the shifting sands of power, Deelo Con is the only one who knows the location of the power-granting Portal, and everyone is after him. In a medieval world of swords and shields, battle lines and battle formations, and constant war, the throne to the empire will be forever altered depending on who gets to Deelo first, and whom he leads to the Portal.

WORKERS OF HELL, UNITE! : HOW ONE SOUL RALLIED THE WORKERS OF HELL AND SAVED ETERNITY

What happens when you die? Where do you go? Brendan McCormick knows the answer. He’s dead and he’s in Hell, which, as it turns out, isn’t that much different than life on Earth: endless work at a job he hates, annoying coworkers that won’t go away, and an overbearing, insufferable boss who seems to have it out for him.

It’s time for a revolution.

But when Brendan is fired from his job at Hell’s Hospital, damning him to leave the relative comfort of the hospital, the dark lord himself, Satan, returns from his hiatus in the nether regions and immediately sets to work destroying all signs of civilization, including the hospital itself. Banished, broken, and unemployed, Brendan must learn to put aside his differences with the deplorables of Hell and save the underworld before Satan can flood the entire landscape in a sea of lava, eternally torturing everyone equally, “Just like Hell was meant to be.” Workers of Hell, Unite! is a comedic and sentimental look at the afterlife, asking the question of “how much punishment does one deserve?” Join Brendan on his journey as he traverses the depths of Hell, fighting Satan’s minions with magic, and grappling with his own past as he searches for the most elusive treasure of all: Redemption.
