Stingray: Defiance (working title)
The next part of the story occurs when Katrina is grown up, becoming a police officer to help New Amsterdam become crime-free. With the help of her mentor, Zulema Heard, she grows through the ranks. Aside from the dedication to her craft, she grows in strength, power, and intellect, learning stealth tactics, and detective work through Zulema.
Then they get a "140327". Hostage situation at The Sienna Trainor Asylum, the last mental institution in the state of New Netherlands.
Dr. Rilkie Samhouse works to help the insane gain sanity. During a routine fire drill, one of the inmates starts a riot, taking control of the entire establishment with the help of deadlier inmates. It's up to Katrina and Zulema to save Rilkie and save the Asylum before it crumbles into chaos.
While in hiding, Rilkie finds help in the inmate that sees her Psychiatrist as an angel.
It's up to her, as well as Katy and Zulema, to escape what might be the last refuge for the Damned.

Story Bible 1- Stingray
Let's begin with Interceptor, one of the most ambitious stories I've ever tried to make.
It takes place in a city called New Amsterdam, a spin-off of New York where the Dutch and Irish built their own miniature world in America.
Two sisters, Sara and Katrine-three years apart, reside in the rich parts of society with the grace of bored princesses. To escape from their affluent world, Katrina turns to music while Sara turns to mayhem- using an illegal jetpack to raise hell upon the city. When she's caught, it's up to Katrina, lovingly called Katy by Sara, to clean up the mess she made or let the police handle it. Then again, there wouldn't be a story if she chose the latter.
As she takes the mantle of the Stingray, the suit's alternate name, she brings her own form of justice to New Amsterdam. As she learns what it means to have a purpose, Katrina dives head on into the crime world Sara helped to revive.
The city of New Amsterdam will have its own hero as Katrina becomes someone different than the shadow her sister made her out to be.

Mission Statement
This blog is meant to be sloppy, as the greatest talent a person can have is to create something great, inspirational and amazing amidst the chaos.
That's what this blog is about- the rough drafts, the weird stories with disconnected plotlines and uncovered holes. The worlds under construction. The characters with half-planned arcs. The unfinished conflicts and villains.
That's what I plan on writing about in this Goodreads blog.
All of the stories I have planned, all 31 of them, will be written down as plotlines/ story bibles at some point on this blog. I'm not going to chase anyone too much to read more about my stories. Anyone can write a blog like this, but mine will be different; I'm going to write unfinished stories and rough drafts for the world to either critique or change for themselves. Or I'll change them at some point in the future, which will be what happens anyway.
