Short Story: "Po' Kids"

This story is based on a dream I had the other night. It was intense but I thought it'd make a good story. I repeat, intense, so if you're not into that, best not read.

It wasn' rainin' but I knew that rain would soon fall from the skies. I'd gotten up early that day to help 'round the house, as usual. Mamma wouldn't be home till late and Pa', well, he was out huntin' and with all that work, with the peeling off the deer's skin and preparing the meat, well, he wo...

The Battle of the Erathiel: Book 2: Chapter 1 (Preview)

Chapter 1 The Captain

Isilen stood at the very end of the docks staring out into the sea, surrounded by its magnificent waters, listening to the waves as they came and went. It was still dark, sunrise was but a few minutes away and soon they would have to leave, but perhaps never return. The harbor was no longer as before, it was silent and the many posts where the fishermen used to shout their daily bargains were now empty, their weaved baskets barren and no customers in sight. Instead, the ot...

I'm back! (Again)

Hi guys!

Sorry I've been absent so long but that's because I'm working on the sequel to "The Battle of the Erathiel: Across the Enchanted Sea". Thanks to some great insight from some dear friends, I've come up with some ideas to start off book 2. I'll soon be posting more from each chapter as I go. I'm actually considering the idea of posting the official first three chapters from the first book just so you can get an idea of it. More than anything, I want the story of the Erathiel to spread a...

The Battle of the Erathiel: Chapter 3: The Desert (Inkitt Contest Version)

CHAPTER 3THE DESERTThey had never seen a desert before; their home had been quite different from such a barren land. Green forests and pristine rivers overran Eidelvar, but it had all faded under Bragolthar’s foul magic. The heat was almost unbearable on their scalps, but the wagons they assembled would help with that. The desert looked endless with dunes and mountains decorating the sand. They would have to choose a path soon for they could not stay with the little provisions they had. While...

The Battle of the Erathiel: Chapter 2: The Harbor (Inkitt Contest Version)

CHAPTER 2THE HARBORAcross the sparkling Enchanted Sea, sailed a ship whose white sails shone like flames of pure light. It was great in stature, twice that of a regular vessel, and bore two large masts that overtowered the vast deck like replicas of heavenly clouds. The shape of a beautiful golden maiden sat carved at its head, her delicate wooden arms outstretched towards the sapphire sky. It was a majestic ship but its body now carried the scars of the storm, as did the people aboard. They...

Dear readers,

By doing this, you will have full access to my complete work BUT until then, I will share with you my new work, little by little, just so you can get a sneak peek. Hope you like it and feel free to comment!

No Regrets

I've made a lot of changes in my life this year. The first, quitting a wonderful, amazing job I had where I was surrounded by great colleagues and wonderful students. It was a steady job, paid well, and got to do so many things that I'd only dreamed of doing. I look back now and I realize how lucky I was, but not that I am unlucky now.

As a teacher, touching lives is essential for me. As a writer, singer, well, artist, really, it is the same for me. I have found so many answers within myself d...

Video Review: Shadowhunters: Episode 1: The Mortal Cup

Hey guys!

As some of you know, I've been uploading some videos with my impression on books, but also now: TV series! And maybe I'll do movies, too ;) Anyhow, here's my video reviewing the first episode of the new series: "Shadowhunters". It's based on the book I previously reviewed, "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare. It's not a copy of the book, there are some differences, but I invite you to check it out and then my video to see if we share some opinions, or not. It's...
