“Hey, what are you doing here?” Lady Von’Curator asked.
A simple enough question, but one that is kind of hard to explain. Fortunately, she isn’t asking me, even though I am in the same exact restricted section of the library.
“Uh, what? I was just following...” Rau Li began, but quickly closed his mouth as he glanced around. Even going so far as to log gazes with me directly at once poin...
2024-04-30 21:50:50 +0000 UTC View PostGood Morning Everyone,
First I wanted to say thank you all so much for your support through another Writathon. As promised April is still free, so you will not be charged tomorrow.
Also, a few house keeping items. First today is the day that Alexa Thyme Book 1 is available for Audible, and Book 2 is available for PDF. I will be taking down Book 2 from this site shortly.

Cha-Cha-Changes (Part II)
Power, it comes in all shapes and sizes.
Apparently, this world thinks that I am supposed to always be in the extremely compact size, as my newest race. A race that I wasn’t even certain existed until now was unarguably a short race.
In fact, when thinking about races, I think we all can agree that something with the name of pixie generates images of a being that is similar to a...

Squelch.
The music ended, but more then that, there was a terrible feedback, a vibration of magic being set free. Death magic stones that had been painstakingly struck into the bodies of all the most powerful cultivators present suddenly began vibrating and pulsing.
At first the messages were simple, danger, stay away.
But ever since the stones awoke, or became activated, sitting in their ...

Once again, the purple hair on Frank’s head glowed brightly, not that he could tell. Though everyone of the dignitaries and military leaders immediately around Frank all turned to him, apparently attracted by his hair that was now standing on end and glowing brightly.
“Everything okay?” Yolinda asked.
At that point Frank was about to respond that he was fine. But that was when others came forward, most to c...

Rising.
Did you ever get the feeling that you were floating? Well, rising higher and higher?
Not exactly the best feeling, especially when you suddenly come to consciousness and find out that you have somehow risen a few hundred feet from your last known location. That and your new position is over a kilometer away from where you last remembered being.

Vrooom!
The purr of the engine roared to life tearing through the open back roads and highways that marked the long trek back from Pittsburgh to little old Jackson West Virginia.
Silence.
Despite the late hour, the fact that dawn still wouldn’t come up for another two hours at minimum, everyone sat completely still.

“Now, tell me where you got this card made, and don’t lie to me as it wasn’t done here.” Lady Von’Graysing demanded.
In a way, I guess I should have expected something like this to happen. Though to be fair, while I did sort of expect this to happen, I didn’t expect it to happen on the first day.
I had been caught fabricating my own plate.

Cadet Frank Fotos looked at his reflection in a mirror.
