The Pixie Test
Gary Jones- Reader's Challenge:
Young Female Pixie,
A rundown hotel,
Homeless looking for somewhere to live,
Little brother
"Isabelle, it is time." Belcher said, opening the door to the great pixie hall. All the elders had turned out to observe the test and as she fluttered in, the room became silent.
Isabelle flew nervously to the center of the ring. Her last two final tests had been in the same room, but there had been few eyes to witness her failures. There were young lords and...

Where To Go From Here?
Curious about the picture? Check out the new short story book linked below. Hello to my fans and fellow authors!I thought I would post an update and a poll.
I have moved to Minneapolis to attend the Mayo clinic. The cancer just won't let go. Currently, it is only effecting my mobility, well that is the chemo but it is related. I haven't been writing the last two months as I settle into a new home and environment. I will be attending the clinic in Rochester, MN.
I have bee...

A Dragonologist's Journal
Dragonologist: June 14, 2014 (First publication of this dragonologist's search for a live dragon and the revealing of the red dragon, Keensight.)
I did not see a dragon at all today even though I am in an area where there was a reported sighting. I did find some burn marks that might indicate this is a hunting area of a dragon with a breath of flame. However, I am unable to verify at this time. This area is rife with mosquitoes and other irritating pests. While this would not deter a dr...

The Trap!
Travis Hite - Reader's Challenge
Items:
The greatest alchemist in all the lands
A room that does not exist
A game of chess
A poisoned tea set
Oberan moved through his lab as if there were a clear path. To any other guest, the room looked almost impassible. There were tables with burners, beakers, tubing and other necessary items for alchemy. The far wall held the components he needed. He had done so much work for others until a month ago. The young mage eyed the wall of components then referenced h...

Please Note: Fallen Tiers released prematurely.
To my fans: I am so sorry. Fallen Tiers released prematurely. I am working to fix it. Please redownload the book after 7 days. I have to work with Amazon to get the real book uploaded instead of the placeholder. If it has this picture, it has not changed to new upload yet.
If it looks like this, the full manuscript has been uploaded!
Amazon had approved a two week extension in the backroom, but apparently forgot to change the uploaded page. I had...

Work, Relax - A Needed Concept in an Author
It is amazing to watch others write. Some write for the money, some for non-fiction as it is a constant source of income and I might do some of this if I ever cannot teach. Some write for fame - but don't want the work it takes to achieve fame. And some, write like I do, because the story bubbles behind the self conscious, teasing and creating anxiety until you write it down. My brain sees things and goes - that would make a good story, hears things and goes - that will make a good st...

Livewrite: Ferryman of the Damned
Anonymous submission
slavetrader
place where I was born
addiction
Mud puddles
The sound of pelting rain, it never failed to fall when it was most unwelcome. Curt tugged up his collar of his jacket in a gruff manner. Giving a heavy sigh, he ran through the streets of the coastal city of Davenport. The streets barren of anyone living that didn’t have to be out in the pouring rain, soon he would be out of this mess and back to his ship. The new goods had come so quickly from the seller, his crew had...
