The Return

I want to thank everyone who commented or emailed me after hearing my sad news.

You’ve all convinced me of the value of what I’m doing and I will be getting back on the horse. Patrons will be getting the next chapter of the series on Memorial Day, there will be a blog entry the following Friday, and the next new Descendants will go up for everyone the Monday after.

Again thank you so much for your support and patience during my time of grief.

In Remembrance of Barbara Porter, Loving Mother and Friend

If you’ve followed this site for very long, you will know that my mother has been a huge influence on not only me, but my work. Her stories inspired me to tell stories.

The Worst Anime I have Ever Seen

So during the four months I was living in motels looking for a home, my only solace was the free high-speed wi-fi and the various free streaming services. I’ve watched a lot of stuff. I’m even up to date on modern shows I wanted to watch like The Flash, Supergirl, the Librarians, etc.

And I’ve watched a lot of anime. Lots. Like so much anime.

The thing about anime is that it’s a mine field. Saying you’re going to watch some anime is like saying you’re going to watch live action western televi...

Descendants #101 – The Battle of Freeland House Chp.3

This entry is part of 32 in the series Current

The free-lev systems of another Tome carrier exploded as a series of red beams from Lady D ripped through them. Half the attacking fleet had dropped their cloaks to divert power to their own standing field generators. A good quarter of them were now already on the ground or slowly sinking in that direction.

Rebound leapt out of the cockpit of the craft he’d attacked and was caught by a vortex called up by Zephyr. A moment later, a blast of air can...

“This is Jennifer Li, NP5 coming to you live from out front of the property known as Freeland House, home of daughter of Brant Industries CEO William Brant, chair of Descendants Rights Worldwide, Headmistress of the Liedecker Institute, and suspected sponsor of the prelate team known as The Descendants where a truly bizarre phenomenon is unfolding.

Moving is hard…

I did way too much work moving this week and wasn’t able to write. So no updates this week, but this is the last time, I promise.
