Summary:

Okay, here goes. I took Nadine's advice and turned the story of Callie (from defending Callie) into a novel. I have this under YA, but the target audience would be middle grade (third, fourth and fifth). Please keep this in mind when reviewing. This is a book written from a ten year old's perspective for children about the same age. The book is complete so I will be postig a chapter a day, the chapters are short. All constructive feedback is appreciated.

Summary:

A romantic relationship eroded to dust is sad enough, a longtime friendship with someone who is like family to you, is too tragic to think about.

Summary:

A story of unity, friendship, and courage. Falco is an orphan of fifteen, living in a little Hut Sam made a long, long time ago, with seven other people, all poor. They live across the old bridge from Lorville, the main village of Lorale, an eastern realm of Men in Maren. But for the past years, the whole land has been cast over with shadow, unknown except for the fact that it undoubtedly comes from the northern evil realm of Shador. Word is that a fearful power is rising again, and so everyone living in Maren trembles at the thought of a disasterous future. No longer do the creatures venture out of their homes, and most races have long since hidden away. But of course, none of that mattered much to Falco and his 'family' in the past, since they had each other and were thankful enough for that. But famine has struck Lorale once again after many years, and in desperate need for money, Falco ventures out into the village to find some work. He does, luckily (or so he thinks at first), but the man he is to work for is extremely strange and mysterious, and frighteningly ghastly-looking. But there's no other way he can turn to to earn money fast, and besides, he can't help feel proud of himself for finding a place to work so quickly. But after this first encounter with a stranger he's never seen before, more odd things begin to happen. Secrets are uncovered, even within his circle of family. But it's all just the beginning... ALL AND ANY FEEDBACK IS WELCOME. I'D ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE PLOTLINE AND THE BELIEVABILITY OF THINGS. GRAMMATICAL ISSUES, I'M PLANING TO FOCUS ON AFTER I FINISH THE WHOLE PIECE.

The title of this quirky women’s fiction novel is also the name of the entirely female band the main character, Kat, forms in order to keep connected with her best friend—a family-oriented shrink she met in a college group. Kat’s painting career receives a boost from the socialite singer the friends recruit, and a romance with the guitar player’s cousin develops; both increase the stakes Kat has in the band’s success. But when the debut gig ends up being their last, will Kat be able to adjust to the changes, or will she lose her guy, career, and best friend through the band created to gain it all?

Okay, I'm getting back on track. Much of what is to come is already written... I just seem to be having a hard time with the weeks between Amarillo and OK City, and the first half of the trip to OK City. I'm not sure why, except perhaps this time was just so ordinary. Thanks for continuing to stay with me while I struggle through this part!

This is the sequel to The Chandler Mirror. It follows book one almost to the day it left off. If you haven't read the first book, you may be confused by who these people are and what's going on. However, I'm trying to incorparate as much detail as I can in the early chapters here.

Summary:

The Chandler Mirror is something I created several years ago. It reads like a prime-time show, only with a lot of gay characters. It's meant to be read like a guilty pleasure and not to be taken seriously. Book one is short compared to future postings, meant to familiarize the reader with the central characters. Any and all feedback is welcome. PLEASE - DO NOT JUMP INTO THIS HALF-WAY OR ON THE LAST POSTING. Rory

Summary:

Sequel to 'Into the Light'. The boys are back and, let me tell you, they gave me a hell of a time writing this one. I have never dealt with two more ornery, hard-to-manage characters. If you were thoroughly disgusted by 'Into the Light', you will be utterly horrified by 'Beneath the Blue'. The We-Hate-Meghan Fan Club is going to have a field day with this one.
