 | Something with Cigarettes | Tiffany A Robbins | Novel | 2 | n/a | Jun 17, 2013 |
Summary:Logan has decided that life was not worth living. He finds himself pulled from his hometown and into the city by parents trying to provide what they feel is ideal life for their kids. Instead, he finds himself in a suburban school where kids are left unparented and with only their own mistakes to guide them.
Logan repeatedly tries to do right by his friends, yet is constantly made aware of how he is screwing up his life and is making his mother miserable. As he comes to the realization that he no longer wants to live life, he turns to every vice a teenager can find to try to find a reason to live all while he tries commit suicide with a clean conscience.
This is written as a posthumous memoir to explore the mind of a suicidal teen as well as his family and friends affected.
Submitted for the 2013 Strongest Start Novel Competition.

 | The Legend of Draconis, Book II-Spirits' Desire: Daconis Calls the Heart | Janet Taylor-Perry | Novel | 1 | n/a | Jun 9, 2013 |
Summary:This the second in the Draconis saga. It is a mixture of fantasy, family saga, and historical fiction.
This book is an endeavor that proved to be a great challenge. It is two stories in one.
The lust for adventure leads Rennin O’Rourke to read the memoirs of his ancestor and namesake as he shares parallel exploits. His quest brings him to his wife, the California gold fields, close encounters with death, a murder charge, The War Between the States, and ultimately back to a mythical land where only exceptional people may go.
Rennin meets Rebekah Sinclair, and the two of them embark on a lifetime of love and adventure as both are constantly compelled to return to a mythical place they have only read about. Draconis calls them home.
Any an all comments welcome. Of all the stories I've written, my daughter says this is her favorite. See if you agree.

 | NANJING MEMORIES - PART 1 - SCRIPT | maxkeanu | Short Story | 1 | 0.00 | Jun 1, 2013 |
Summary:This is a romance at the root, but it is also a war/military, fantasy, supernatural tale with a bit of historical fiction thrown in. I transposed this from another tense so unintended tense problems may still be on this version.
- √ V.O. = voice over and in italics
- √ New scenes are underlined
- √ Dialog is centered as are thoughts and thoughts are also in italics
BTW- I've been shot by a shotgun in the abdomen and you really do think some very strange thoughts in a traumatic situation like that.
-The versions here are not the prepared scripts. This site won't translate my scripts directly, so it is a lot of work to get them up here in a formatted version... Sol? Chapters: |

Summary:Experience seems to reinforce: “what we resist persists.” Death is such an unknown. We all want to dream as if we’ll live forever, but perhaps we should all aspire to live as if we’ll die today...and still hold to those dreams as our little secret. Chapters: |

It deals with generational sin/evil.
