Awakening
The Ydron Saga Book 1
by Raymond Bolton
Genre: Paranormal Epic Fantasy


How does a world equipped with bows, arrows and catapults, where steam

power is just beginning to replace horses and sailing ships, avert a

conquest from beyond the stars? Prince Regilius has been engineered

to combat the Dalthin, a predatory alien species that enslaves worlds

telepathically, and to do so he must unite his people. But when his

mother murders his father, the land descends into chaos and his task

may prove impossible. Faced with slaying the one who gave him life in

order to protect his world, he seeks a better way. Set in a vast and

varied land where telepaths and those with unusual mental abilities

tip the course of events, Awakening goes to the heart of family,

friendship and betrayal.

Thought Gazer
The Ydron Saga Book 2



Everyone who touches you transforms you, if only a little. But if you enter

their minds, think what they have thought, in effect do what they

have done, how complete will that transformation be?




If he had been born an ordinary man, his family would be safe–safe as

anyone can be in a land torn apart by war. It is his singular gift,

however, that causes his wife and children to be imprisoned and held

hostage and him to be used as a tool. Caught up in a struggle between

opposing warlords and refusing to play the game, Peniff elects to

take the moral high road. This is the story of a man, in all other

ways ordinary, rising above his fears to do what he must. Can he free

his family before his betrayal comes to light? Moreover, what will he

become before his journey is over?

Foretellers
The Ydron Saga Book 3



In a world facing two divergent futures—eventual freedom or complete

domination—too many unmade decisions cloud the yet-to-be. Those who

can see even a tiny portion of the inevitable wield great power.



In this world where young and old, rich or poor, are at the mercy of

armed marauders and the armies of the powerful, a warlord’s wrath

forces a mother and daughter to flee for their lives. Despite being

prescient, they cannot foresee all that lies ahead. Quickly

separated, their every effort centers around reunion and survival.

Without losing sight of these goals, one of them foresees that, if

she travels to the conflict’s center and lends support to one of

the two major powers, she has the ability to influence the final

outcome.

Foretellers, the third volume of The Ydron Saga, is the second
book of Awakening’s prequel trilogy.

Triad
The Ydron Saga Book 3



Heroic battles are not always won by the mighty. There are times when even

the least likely among us play decisive rolls. Less able physically

than anyone he knows, but paranormally unique, Bardik is recruited by

a pair of psychics in the hope that, by combining his talent with

theirs, they can turn looming defeat into victory.



In this, the concluding chapter to The Ydron Saga, a young man who has

lost the use of his legs—someone whom earthly culture labels

paraplegic—agrees to lend his telekinetic talents to the effort to

bring down a tyrannical warlord.

Raymond Bolton lives near Portland, Oregon with his wife, Toni, and their two

cats, Georgie & Sophia.




Regarding his debut novel, Awakening, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning

author, Mike Resnick says, “In Awakening, Raymond Bolton presents

us with an intricate and interesting problem, characters you care

for, aliens who are alien, and a carefully-thought-out future.”

 

Matthew J. Pallamary, author of Land Without Evil and Spirit Matters said,

“Raymond Bolton’s genre shattering Awakening is a skillfully

woven hybrid of science fiction and fantasy that brings cultural

conflict to a whole new, thoroughly believable level that goes

straight to the heart of what really matters.”

 

International award-winning author of the Daimones Trilogy, Massimo Marino,

endorsed Awakening, saying, “Bolton navigates through the plot

lines and the mixed genres (Science Fiction but not exactly, Fantasy

but not entirely, Paranormal but not completely) with the clear

gesture of the conductor of a large orchestra. A new voice and author

who is bound to grow a faithful readership.”

 

Finally, Britain’s BookViral.com states, “it’s a grand debut. An

ambitious and well considered SF crossover [that] breathes

originality into the genre.”

 

Raymond’s goal is to craft gripping stories about the human condition, whether

they are set here or another world. He has written award-winning

poetry and four novels. Awakening, an epic, was released in January,

2014, and Thought Gazer, an adventure and first volume of a prequel

trilogy, was released on January 1, 2015. The third in the series,

Foretellers, came out on March 1 , 2016. The trilogy’s conclusion,

King Arthur’s Sister in Washington’s Court by Kim Headlee

Sci-Fi/Time Travel

Are you sick of US politics? Afraid of what will become of America because your chosen candidate didn’t prevail? Do you believe the world is doomed now that King Donald has claimed the Oval Office throne?

Refresh your spirit and allay your fears by laughing along with what Mark Twain might have written about today’s political falderal.

“Entertaining.” –Publishers Weekly.

WINNER 2016 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Gold Medal for Science Fiction & Fantasy.

Morgan le Fay, sixth-century Queen of Gore and the only major character not killed off by Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, vows revenge upon the Yankee Hank Morgan. She casts a spell to take her to 1879 Connecticut so she may waylay Sir Boss before he can travel back in time to destroy her world. But the spell misses by 300 miles and 200 years, landing her in the Washington, DC, of 2079, replete with flying limousines, hovering office buildings, virtual-reality television, and sundry other technological marvels.

Whatever is a time-displaced queen of magic and minions to do? Why, rebuild her kingdom, of course—two kingdoms, in fact: as Campaign Boss for the reelection of American President Malory Beckham Hinton, and as owner of the London Knights world-champion baseball franchise.

Written as though by the old master himself, King Arthur’s Sister in Washington’s Court by Mark Twain as channeled by Kim Iverson Headlee offers laughs, love, and a candid look at American society, popular culture, politics, baseball… and the human heart.

Twins: The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles by Kim Iverson Headlee

TWINS

The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles, the novella genesis of book 6

by Kim Iverson Headlee

Genre: Epic Historical Fantasy

From the award-winning, critically acclaimed pen of Kim Iverson Headlee comes the fall of Camelot as you have never seen it before.

The death of their mother knells the death of any hope for a joyful future for Gyan’s identical twin daughters, Gwenhwyfar and Gwenhwyfach. Their father, Arthur the High King, wastes no time in announcing firstborn Gwenhwyfar’s betrothal to Medraut—the man whom Gwenhwyfach secretly loves. And Gwenhwyfar is in love with Angusel’s son Lannchu.

The twins conspire to defy Fate and trade places. They know how ambitious is their scheme, for Gwenhwyfar is trained in the domestic arts and Gwenhwyfach has chosen the warrior’s path, yet the sisters are confident of success. The wedding and its accompanying night come off without a hitch… for both of them.

Fate, however, shall not be defied.

Incorporating ancient Welsh legends of the “False Guinevere” and “Feasting the Hungry Man,” and featuring many characters introduced in Dawnflight, Morning’s Journey, and Raging Sea, this glimpse into their destiny, thirty years after the setting of those novels, reveals the destruction of Arthur’s realm that’s unique in all of Arthurian literature.

Praise for other Arthurian works by Kim Iverson Headlee:

“Intense.” USA Today (Dawnflight)

“Solidly entertaining.” Publishers Weekly (King Arthur’s Sister in Washington’s Court)

He crushed her to him with startling force, thrusting his tongue into her mouth to probe its secrets. Too soon, he shifted his focus to her chin, her throat, her neck, each kiss torturing her with promises that could never be kept. A raw blend of pleasure and pain forced a moan from her lips.

“It would be best to remain a virgin for your wedding night,” said a new voice.

With a startled cry, Gwenhwyfar straightened and looked about. Hand to dagger, Lannchu whirled. When the intruder stepped from behind a nearby piling, Lannchu folded his arms.

“Gwenhwyfach.” Gwenhwyfar didn’t care how her sister had found them; the pertinent question was why. “Don’t expect me to bid you well come, because you aren’t.”

Gwenhwyfach tossed her braids, uttering a light chuckle. “Not even if I were to give you the solution to your dilemma?”

“What would you do? Guard our backs as we run away?” A romantic notion, but not a feasible one. “Father would kill us all. If Medraut didn’t find us first.”

“You’re right. My plan is simpler.” She extended her open-palmed hand. “We trade places.”

Juli D. Revezzo looks for Frigga’s Lost Army

Meet my guest today fantasy author, Juli D. Revezzo, who like me should have been born a pagan.

Juli D. Revezzo loves fantasy and Celtic mythology and writing stories with all kinds of fantastical elements. She is the author of the historical romances, House of Dark Envy, Watchmaker’s Heart, and Lady of the Tarot, the Antique Magic paranormal series and Celtic Stewards Chronicles series, Frigga’s Lost Army, and more. She is also a member of the Independent Author Network and the Magic Appreciation Tour.

Interview

Do you think people have misconceptions about the speculative fiction? Why do you think it is a worthwhile genre?

 

Yes. For one thing, the general populace still seems to think it’s for teen boys and knock women out of the loop altogether. Despite the fact that many women have written fantasy and science fiction throughout its history, the stereotype remains. And then there’s the stereotype that all f/sf fans are low educated geeks, and for some reason, that makes f/sf a lowbrow form of storytelling. This attitude completely ignores the fact that a lot of us use a lot of learning and research in order to write our stories. With me, I somehow like to write about things no one knows much about, like the battle of Tunisia in World War II and the Italian PoW camps that tie into Frigga’s Lost Army, so that necessitates a lot of extra work on my part in order to get the worldbuilding right. *g* But *snaps fingers* people just assume that fantasy is, a) easy to write b) for children and real writers wouldn’t waste their time. Alas, in all the years I’ve been reading and writing it, those two beliefs have never changed.

2. Could you tell us a bit about your most recent book?

Frigga’s Lost Army is my latest, and it’s an historical fantasy set during World War 2, specifically the early years of 1942-1943. The hero, Benjamin, fought in the Tunisian Campaign (in Africa) during Operation Torch, against Mussolini’s Fascist troops. Some of those battles were lost by our side and resulted in thousands of Allied troops being taken as Prisoners of War. I put Benjamin in that situation and sent him off to a prison camp in Naples, Italy, and followed his life as a prisoner of war. I found some surprising things, while researching, about the way the Italians treated the POWs. They treated their prisoners far better than movies have led us to believe. Sure, they had their troubles (beatings, meager supplies, no clean clothes, sickness, idleness, etc), but they had lots of downtime (so to speak) and camaraderie too. The fact that the hero, Benjamin, makes a friend of one of the guards isn’t without precedence in the published accounts.

Into that, I thought, what if the Ben is looked after by the Norse goddess Frigga so that he can do her work in the era and beyond? But while she’s a goddess, there wouldn’t be anything left of the story if I just let her fix everything, so I figured out ways of letting her assist while also tying her hands. How? Human will. Sure, she can say “Don’t do this” but look, humans are stubborn, and we will fight against being told what not to do, won’t we? J So that and also adding in that Joseph Campbell once said that (I’m paraphrasing)  gods could be subject to the flow of time when coming to earth gave me leeway to remove the “a goddess can snap fingers and fix everything” problem that people seem to think (stereotypically) is what happens when magic’s involved. How do we know that’s what would happen? What if you dropped a foreign goddess into somewhere? Maybe the best she can do is find someone who can do the work for her. So …in my book, I had fun with pairing her with a bunch of stubborn young men. J

3. What gives you inspiration for your book?

Frigga’s Lost Army? Years ago, a friend of mine was putting together an anthology of modern stories and devotions based around the goddess Frigga. She popped into my head one day, surveying troops in Africa. And from there I found out about the Tunisian Campaign (see above), and the POWs thereof, and Mussolini’s ties to all that and the camps in Italy. Intrigued, I started writing Frigga’s Lost Army, dropping Benjamin and his troop into the midst of that battle and its aftermath. It was interesting playing that “modern setting” off Frigga and her world and mythological symbols. A way to bring Her and her mythology into more modern day, modernize the goddess and her stories so to speak, which I love to do.

4. Of all the characters you have created, which is your favorite and why?

It changes with each book as I write it, of course, but overall, I’d say Caitlin, the heroine of my Antique Magic series, and her witch/pagan friends. Why? They were my first published series, and I get to play around with witchy and pagan themes in that series. And Welsh/Celtic mythology, of course, in the goddess Arianrhod’s involvement with Caitlin. I’ve studied Celtic mythology for many years all of which worked itself into the (now) four books of that series and the two/three of Celtic Stewards Chronicles. But the Antique Magic series was the first time I incorporated any sort of modern paganism into something I planned to release.

 5. What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Sometimes, the hardest part is stopping the research. With Frigga’s Lost Army, I was still checking and verifying details of the World War II era, rationing and everyday life and so forth, double checking facts on how the war and Mussolini’s ideals were affecting Italy. And of course, the facts and details of the liberation of Italy. That went on darn near right up to the day I published. Part of that is just me, the perfectionist. I’m sure I probably didn’t need to check and recheck as much as I did it.

Oh, and titles. Time was, you could just pull a title from the book, (for instance, the Hobbit) and be done with it. But now, you have to think in terms of keywords that’ll ping in Amazon. What the heck is that about? It feels dumbed down, to me.  Sometimes, I feel like all I can do is just pick, cross my fingers, and hope for the best. It’s all very stressful.

6. Tell us a little about your plans for the future. Do you have any other books in the works?

Yes. I just finished and released two audiobooks, one for my gothic pnr: Lady of the Tarot (that novel is set during the French Revolutionary era and involves a family that escapes the turmoil, only to be harried by demons. The villains throw tarot related imagery at the heroine and demand she decipher it, all the while hoping she’ll fail so they can destroy her. But she’s got a handsome helper on her side in the form of a tarot expert, so does she? You’ll have to listen to the audiobook (or read the ebook) to find out.

 The other audiobook is for my steampunk romance novel Watchmaker’s Heart, about an inventor who can’t quite get her aromatherapy diffuser that’s supposed to help lovers rekindle their flame, working right—or can she? Is it magic or technology that does the trick? Who can say?  Again, the audiobook (or ebook) will reveal that secret!  I had fun working with the narrators and hearing the books come to life. I’d like to do more if everything comes together. It’s a dream (and a Patreon goal).

Under the heading of “in the works”, I am working on getting out the third in my historical fantasy/fantasy romance series Celtic Stewards Chronicles, which also revolves around Celtic Mythology, specifically, the Battle of Mag Turied. (What if it extended through history up into our time with the gods battling back and forth on one family’s property that they’ve chosen as their sacred battlefield?) Book one (Passion’s Sacred Dance) and book two (Druid Warrior’s Heart) take place modern day, and the 16th century, respectively, while the forthcoming third book (Druid Warrior Prince) goes even further, back to the 6th century, Ireland. That has necessitated a whole lot more research than I ever expected, but it’s almost finished. I hope I’ll have it (Druid Warrior Prince) out before the end of September. I’m also working on another steampunk novel and the next Antique Magic series. And maybe another Victorian Romance. That thought’s percolating in the background, right now. So, I have lots of little irons in the fire. J

7. If you could live in any period in the past or future, which would it be? Why?

I’d like to live in either Pagan Ireland or the Italian Renaissance. I studied both in school, and I think I could get along well there. I’d have to learn the language and learn to live without air conditioning (and running bathrooms and so forth), but I think I could pull it off. Also, I’d love to get my hands on some of the original medieval stories and find a way to preserve them, so maybe they wouldn’t come down to modern day so horribly fragmented.

8. If you could shift into any animal, which would you chose? Why? If you were going to be permanently changed into an animal? Would you still pick the same one? Why or why not?

I’d like to be a raven. Just because they’re neat, especially mythologically. If I were permanently changed? I think I’d go with fish. I’m pretty fairly comfortable in and around water, so I think I’d take to that much easier than, well, being a bird.

Frigga’s Lost Army

In the winter of 1943, eighteen-year-old Benjamin is just a grunt and Army cook–until he finds himself captured, along with his unit, taken prisoner by Mussolini’s troops after the Battle of Tunisia.

Transported to a POW camp in Italy, Benjamin is plagued with intense visions of the Norse Goddess Frigga and her retinue of Valkyries, berserkers, and other magical beings.

When he encounters a woman bearing an uncanny resemblance to the goddess, he wonders if he hasn’t been entangled in a battle between the natural and the supernatural–a battle for the present and the future.

 

Excerpt

Chapter One

Tunis, 1942:

The door of the troop transport opened slowly. Benjamin tapped his foot, waiting. Heat flooded in from outside.

“Damn!” Gabriel said behind him. “It’s November.”

“Come to Lockhart sometime,” Benjamin said, “then this won’t seem so odd to you.”

“Spend Thanksgiving in Texas?” Gabriel said. “Hell, no. I’m already regretting spending it here.”

“You need to see a proper white Christmas, Ben,” Tommy said.

Benjamin whistled and shook his head. “No thanks, Sandoval. You’ll make me cook your dinner.”

“I’d be nuts not to, wouldn’t I?”

Their friends laughed.

“Hell, what do you think his odds are?” another asked. “Should we stay close to you, Gunnarson, or do you think Mussolini will have an eye out for you?”

“Sure why wouldn’t he want the best cook?”

He didn’t appreciate the joke. “I’d poison him before I’d feed him anything good.”

“You?” Gabriel said. He stepped up beside him, and winked, scrunching his angular, thin cheeks. “A year in basic together taught me you’re the best damned cook in this army. You’d never ruin a meal.”

And he was loyal to a fault, Benjamin thought. He remembered, several nights on leave, Gabriel steered his girlfriends to Ben’s kitchen on base for dinner.

“Amanda’s still talking about the steak you made for us.”

“Ya always do filch the attention of most gals we run across, Olhouser,” another said. “The least Sarge could do is bunk your cook with us.”

Gabriel flipped him off.

Benjamin cursed under his breath. “I thought I’d be in Japan, right now. Not Africa.”

“You and me both, brother,” Gabriel said. “Do you want to talk the Sarge into rerouting us?”

Right now, that didn’t sound like a bad idea.

The door finally descended. Benjamin squinted into the sunlight.

“Attention!” Sergeant Meyers bellowed strong and deep, and out they marched into the desert.

Machine gunfire echoed all around, barely giving them a chance to breathe. It was the winter of Benjamin’s first year in the field. The desert and mountains of Tunis were beautiful, far different from his Texas home. Sunrise the next morning exploded in shades of pink and orange he’d never seen only adding to his impressions.

But battle overtook his awe of the scenery; and only two weeks in, their battle was lost. His ears still rang with exploding mortar shells, the screams as some of his fellows took the brunt, their screams as they died. Sounds he thought he might never get out of his mind.

Now the gunfire silenced and a smug enemy patrol stood guard over them. “Your time in this war,” said their arrogant leader in broken English, “is over.”

Several of his men cursed. Sergeant Meyers weighed the options, and Benjamin too calculated the damage: five men were badly wounded. Doctor Keenan leaned close to each living man, listening to his complaints. Some grabbed at his curly hair with bloodied fingers. He worked hard, doing everything to help them. Several more dead men spread throughout the battlefield, their corpses rotting in the sun. The remaining troops—Benjamin, Gabriel, about forty others—were low on ammo and supplies, and surrounded by Mussolini’s soldiers. The sergeant set his rifle against a rock and raised his hands as he ordered, “Lower your weapons, men.”

To ensure no one attempted heroism, several armed Italian soldiers approached and yanked away their rifles. Rage filtered through Benjamin as one relieved him of his M-1 machine gun.

He’s younger than Tommy, he thought. And Tommy, he knew, was seventeen.

This one stepped back, set the gun on a pile of them. From inside his sweat soaked shirt, he produced a silver cross, which he proceeded to kiss.

“Colonnello Trovato?” Another dark-haired soldier squinted in the bright sun as he addressed the rotund Italian official. Benjamin thought the bullets missed the soldier, if for no other reason than because of how short he was.

The soldier saluted. “Sir, forty-five men surrendered, and several wounded,” he said.

As the soldier spoke his report in Italian, Benjamin understood wounded, and forty-five. The rest was all guesswork. Have to brush up on the language, I guess, he thought as he scanned the enemy.

Sergeant Myers shook his head. “Slow down, man.” He surveyed their troop. “Any of you lunkheads speak Italian?”

“I do, sir, a little.”

“Front and center, Private Sandoval. Let’s get this over with.”

Benjamin blinked as Tommy jogged past him. The Sergeant turned him over to the Italians, and soon Tommy was translating, as best as possible, a flurry of orders.

The Italian colonel whom he addressed reminded Benjamin of one of his uncles, short, and fat in the extreme, like a basketball with dark eyes and stubby limbs, but this man’s attitude was nothing like his jovial uncle.

And so it was Benjamin Gunnarson found himself no longer a soldier, but one of a long line of prisoners taken in the field—he and many more of his brothers-in-arms—and humiliated under the eyes of the Italian Fascists.

The soldiers rounded them all up and forced them to march from the battlefield. He fell back beside Tommy.

“How’d you understand their gibberish?”

“My Grandma has a neighbor.”

“An Italian neighbor out in the sticks?”

“By way of New York.”

“And he gave you lessons?”

“I gleaned enough. ‘Come here. Go. Get off my property’.”

Another of their company laughed. “Get off his daughter, he means.”

A half-mile passed, and another before they approached a compound surrounded by logs driven into the ground, and wrapped all around with barbed wire. A few of his comrades paused. “What is this?” one asked.

“Oh hell no,” said another.

“Shut it!” Sergeant Meyers said. “Remember what we told you on base and you’ll get out of this alive.”

Benjamin—herded through the gate—recalled hearing nothing about what to do if captured. The only advice he remembered was on how to win a battle. Not on how to lose one.

What do I do now? He gritted his teeth as the gate closed behind them. Even the beauty of the African landscape wouldn’t keep this nightmare at bay.

Keep quiet; keep your head down. There’s no way you’re dying caged up like this.

He was willing to die trying to escape, but something told him today was not the day to make any such attempt—particularly not with the multitude of guards surrounding the pen in which he was currently housed. One in particular was striking—tall, light of complexion, with eyes of dark blue—no. Sea blue. No. The man’s eyes shifted between the hues—sea blue, green, sky blue, sapphire. Or am I hallucinating? Benjamin wondered.

The soldier was too far away for Benjamin to make out the color. Besides, the last thing he wanted was for these guards to give him too much attention; he thought it better not to stare too long.

How had he been so stupid as to fall into their hands? He should have shot himself before the soldiers took their guns—but no. There were far too many he loved to have checked out so soon. He would endure this, by God, or he wasn’t fit for his uniform, a uniform to which he fully intended to return, and soon.

The blond soldier slipped inside the fence, and as he did so, Benjamin could better discern the fiend’s words: Fascist rhetoric, but—

His attention caught a strange lilt to the speech; it seemed split along two frequencies. Underneath the propagandistic poison sounded the alluring, bewitching voice of a poet, making promises Benjamin couldn’t believe.

“Be calm, son; be still. Observe. It will not be long.”

The soldier smiled, and Benjamin gulped in confused fear.

“Your fear is logical,” the soldier continued, “but don’t let it cloud your vision or you’ll miss your chance, understand?”

Benjamin gasped, and the words barely squeaked past his lips, “No, sir.”

The soldier stepped back and Benjamin’s vision blurred, only to regain focus in an instant. He saw himself for a moment, dark blond hair dirty and matted under his war helmet, his thin jaw clenched. Rage tinged his face and eyes. He wondered if his mother would call him baby-cheeked anymore. Though he was the platoon cook, he’d had far less to eat lately than in years past.

Now, the landscape changed and Benjamin stood before the towering soldier, no fence between them, the cloudless African skyline replaced by the vision of a finely crafted hall. The man, too, seemed different: he no longer sported the uniform of those faithful to the enemy, but the fine clothing, and jewels of a king out of Medieval legend.

Celtic legend, if he wasn’t mistaken.

A table spread long before him laden with gleaming gold goblets, and Benjamin for a moment saw his own face in them, as he suspected, dirtied from the grit and sweat of the fight, marked with smoke and dust, blue eyes tired with little lines of exhaustion easily seen in the reflection. He was nineteen but wondered what it felt like to be ancient. Ninety years, surely, had passed since he’d so proudly entered the recruitment office. Ages ago, instead of only one year.

Then the scent of the food turned his attention away from the gleaming mirror image. Plates filled the space laden with steaks so succulent he wished he could take some to his friends.

The king pulled his attention away from the feast, though he spoke in a gentle voice,

“I can put it no more plainly, son. Keys break if stressed too much. They can even be deadly in the hands of an angry woman. Keep watch for her; you will see what I mean.”

Keys. He could think of no woman in Celtic mythology who used them as a symbol, but then, he’d long ago forgotten his mythology. Of whom did the king speak?

The king seemed to await his answer, so Benjamin nodded—or thought he did. “An angry woman. What do you mean? How—”

The king smiled, cut him off, “We despise what’s happening in Midgard—as her people call your world—and We are seeing to the matter. Don’t give up. You will know soon. You will be home, soon.”

Midgard?

Benjamin closed his eyes; when he opened them, the camp returned, and the sea green eyed soldier disengaged his attention. Another took his place, dividing their platoon up, some here, some there with Sergeant Meyers, snapping out the itinerary of meager fare (mostly watery rice and bread). Benjamin found himself in a separate group from the sergeant.

“This shit won’t do.” Doctor Keenan tossed the bread down. “I’d swear it’s more mold than bread.”

“That’s what I thought too,” another said.

Doctor Keenan gestured across the tent to him. “Ben, my friend, we must get you back in the mess hall.”

“If they’ll let us,” Tommy said.

There was more to worry about, though, he knew. Would he even end up with them when they finally landed? Or would he get shipped off to Berlin?

Though some guards allowed the battalions to switch among themselves, friends staying with friends, in most all things they were given little choice. One particular soldier Benjamin grew to loathe. The statuesque blond monster, with his jaw that jutted as if someone had shaved it off using a ruler for precision squaring, glared at them even as his superiors ordered them around, took great pleasure in making their tiny tents inside the pens as uncomfortable as possible. Danesi, someone called the lout. He hoped they wouldn’t suffer him long.

No such luck. Danesi grumbled and continued his verbal abuse even as he mustered Benjamin and his friends out for quick removal to the airfields and planes that deposited them in their new home: a prison camp in Naples, Italy.

Writing has always been a hobby and cathartic experience for me. Turning my
passion into a fulfilling career as an Author has been one of my greatest dreams.

I write because creating something that didn’t exist before is as

close to magic as I’ll ever get. All you need is imagination.

I’ve always been passionate about storytelling and impressed by the

influence it has on people and the decisions they make in life. I

love engaging with the projects I work on, diving headfirst into the

research, investigation, and production of stories I feel are worth

writing about. I am a curious and proactive Author, interested in

preserving the foundations set by classical literature by adapting

them to modern themes and trends.
