Summary:

Aidan O’Rourke never dreams that talking to old Diggory Danaher will take him on an adventure of a lifetime. After months of stories about a mythical island and his father, Aidan decides to find out for himself if his father is alive and living as a panther on the mythical island. Stowaway wives, a lost father, bewitched human beings, a wicked witch, pirates, and friendly dragons combine to draw Aidan into a web of intrigue of good versus evil as he becomes the champion of a land that only exceptional men can reach. Aidan proves how exceptional he truly is through the power of faith and unconditional love. Set between sixteenth century Ireland and a timeless, mythical island kingdom called Draconis, King Satin’s Realm relates the saga of four generations of the O’Rourke family as they battle evil in a strange world after finding it in turmoil. The O’Rourkes seem to be called to this enchanted world to be its champions. However, not even a place of such mystery can quell the wanderlust born in the O’Rourke family. Feedback on dialogue, character development, readability, description, and appeal to the audience. Yes, the word is SATIN. I can spell; it is not Satan. This story is as much family saga as fantasy, but there is no family saga category

White is the absence of color visually, but is all colors in the light spectrum. Black is all colors visually, and the absence of light on the spectrum. This poem explores metaphorically, as well as the actual impact color, or lack of, has on our perceptions. PS- Sara, if you're reading this, stop. Get back to work. You don't need another "distraction."

Summary:

Darci Shelton gives herself just one year to make her new flower shop a success, but she must come to terms with the shop's resident ghost while struggling to put Petal Pushers in the black. This full-length book is broken into twelve chapters, one for each month, with stories about her customers woven in. Some chapters were longer than 5k so I had to post them as continuations. Darci's plant profiles at the end of each chapter contain things that will tie into the novel and give some extra info about some of the lesser characters. Plus I thought this would give the readers interested in flowers a little bonus. Any and all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. NOTE: The heart of this story is the same, but I just revised it to add the POV of the Ghost Lady (updating chapters here today). She promised to haunt me until I let the readers hear what she had to say, so I think you'll enjoy it.

This is an alternative POV to Chapter 7 in the novel Broken. If you have read Broken (Chapter 7) or want to read both and comment on which works better - Finn Koski's back story and his POV as to why he is incarcerated for the death of his wife OR Grace's POV as his therapist, hearing the story in dialogue from Finn, I would really appreciate the feedback. Also, is it too much to have doctor and patient both have gone through the cancer and death of their spouses or does it make Grace believably empathetic toward her patient? The rest will be covered in Chapter 8 in Broken.

Summary:

When a young girl is abducted, hardnosed detective Susan Stone uncovers evidence linking the kidnappers to the ten year old murder case which destroyed her family. Stone and her new partner probe into the disappearance of third grader Chloe Lambton, last seen walking hand-in-hand with the disfigured Hannah Knorr. After turning herself in to police, the ninteen year old Hannah incriminates her psychotic boyfriend as Chloe's murderer, but he isn't talking. Hannah claims she suffers from memory loss and only proffers cryptic clues as to the whereabouts of the little girl’s body. Stone knows the teen is holding something back and she's willing to try anything to get Hannah to divulge the whole truth--but it comes at a shocking price. A psychological thriller laced with paranormal turbulence, the Medusa Paradigm snakes into the subliminal thoughts of Detective Stone, forcing her to relive the killing spree that decimated her life. Like the winged horse springing from Medusa's headless body, this is Stone's final chance to rise out of the ashes of self-destruction.

Tormalia

If you decide to review, please start from Chapter 1.

At one time, Nerris Palada had been part of the Thrillseekers, an adventuring group legendary throughout the continent of Tormalia. After many years of winning the hearts of the people and being immortalized in song and story, they went their separate ways. Now a mercenary, Nerris has become deeply involved in the civil war gripping the country of Yagolhan, and is in a very dark place within his own soul.

But when evil forces emerge, Nerris is driven out of his army and left to fend for himself. When a chance encounter reunites Nerris with his friends in their home village, the Thrillseekers set off for one last grand adventure. Joined by the mysterious fledgling sorceress Len-Ahl, the fellowship soon finds itself on a mission much bigger than their own desires. What they seek could free the world from a dark threat that has gripped it since antiquity.

When the dust has settled between gods and godlings, kings and commoners, and magic and mystery, Nerris may sink back into darkness or come to relearn the joy, happiness and love he had forgotten.

Summary:

This story follows the footsteps of a mage named Kha as he tries to understand what happened when his group tried to explore a cave and nearly everyone he loved died. I don't believe that the story itself matters. The people who live within the world are the thing that draws the reader and makes everything real. My goal is to find a way to do that with people who don't normally read fantasy. Let me know if I've managed to achieve my goal, would you? I'm looking for holes in the plot, inconsistencies in the story, details about horses or armor that the characters would know. While I'm interested in correcting the punctuation, I'd rather have feedback on the story itself, flow and voices. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. Feel free to rip this apart and point out any and all flaws. Take care, Amy

Summary:

Having explored some gravesites this past week with my trusty camera in hand, a fresh eye gave me a small epiphany regarding the power of a poem’s title. Back in November I posted a poem addressing mausoleums, “ Light Ever Dark.” I’ve decided the poem also serves another premise, and thus a new title. Walls, as another of my word exercises reminded me, serves to keep out, as well as to keep in. This supports one of the maxims of my personal philosophy: we have no empirical evidence that death ends all, only that it takes away life… as we know it. Thus, for the skeptical, existence and death become yet another possible paradox.
