Summary:

As far as they can tell, Jazz Harding and Deke Michaels are the only two people left in the world. What they've inherited is acid rain, red lightning storms, and a bank of black cloud that never lets the sun peek through. But there's something to be said for getting the world broken beyond repair. There's not much they can do to screw it up, but there is a lot they can do. Or die trying. They've got each other, a good car, and all the time in the world to figure out their next move, until Deke stops breathing on the floor of that motel room in East Texas. Saving the world means something else entirely when it revolves around just one person. And, by God, they're going to save this one. I'm not sure what I'm looking for here. I've had this story written for a couple of years now but didn't have the beginning. This is the beginning. I'll be the first to say the science in loose at best and stays that way because neither of the main characters are scientists, and the whole thing's a metaphor, anyway. Any and all suggestions helpful. Also, you'll notice that I've tagged this romance, and there are only two characters. If you're surprised about the hookup that happens later in the story, it's not because you haven't been warned.

Summary:

The newest versions of the first three chapters of It's All Mercenary for the Strongest Start Contest. Told in first person, Mercenary tells the story of a group of adventurers who get a bit more than they bargained for when they go after a dragon terrorizing the city of Kiljer Port. It also pokes fun at some of the traditional fantasy roles, filling them with odd personalities. For those who have read the original, please note these revised chapters are quite different.

Summary:

I have added the character Roselyn, Princess Evaughnlynn's cousin, Any and all criticism gladly accepted. You won’t hurt my feelings. Princess Evaughnlynn( E von lin) of Hawkland, a small northern kingdom on the island of Ellisland,was engaged at the age 3 to Prince Thrall of Anglia, an empire to the south. The story starts when she is twelve and is given a stone of power (basically a crystal that stores knowledge and amplifies psychic power). Stone bearers, or wizards, are usually middle aged and fall into three categories, dru, or healers, and priests, called wizards, and scholars, called sorcerers). Great evil is on the move and the Elf Lady Gwerydd foresees that as queen of Anglia, Evaughnlynn will be in a position to save Ellisland. She passes her the stone and dies. The dark forces move against her. Fortunately, she has three allies, her cousin Roselyn, Phylon, a man-at-arms in her father’s forces and her cousin Beowyn, the son of her father’s Captain of the Guard.

Summary:

Number 2 in the Eagle Plume Detective series (the first is Homo Necans). To help you decide if you want to read this: this is a police crime story, not a mystery and I write in multiple POVs, though I do try to make it obvious when I switch characters. It does involve a shapeshifter quasi-psychic detective, so there's an element of the paranormal. The main focus, however, is solving the crime. Hope you choose to read on!
