What if Here is Really There? - A Live Write!
Linda Thompson's Challenge
1. An unwanted girl
2. A small village next to a continuous high wall [it divides the land, Here and There]
3. Finding a tunnel
4. A talking Book
For those that are new to my blog, I issued the readers of The Dragons' Geas blog a challenge to see if they could stump me in story creation. They have taken longer than intended to write due to a struggle with metastasized colon cancer. However, I am still working on them and will issue a new challenge when they are...

Fallen Tiers Cover Reveal
Becky Hunt is doing my final cover for the series and this is our draft reveal. She wants to make adjustments but this is the basic idea of the cover with maybe some small adjustments. I thought you all would want to see since you have been waiting so long. It shows I am making progress. As soon as it is in the window, I will be launching pre-sales on both Smashwords and Kindle. This just means you don't miss the release and get it a day ahead of everyone else. &...

Anxiety of Readers Waiting for Fallen Tiers
Hi all,
So... where is Fallen Tiers? I know it is my most asked question. It has been a hard year in my cancer fight. However, it will be going out July 1, major edits have been required do to chemo brain and the length before it is going to be available. Chemo and creativity don’t mix. While I know the story’s frame, those intricate details are what makes the story really flow. It will be up for presale as soon as I get the cover.
More after the jump...

Format: Kindle Edition
Having read a fair amount of fantasy books over the last few months, I can confidently say that BLACKGUARD ranks highly amongst its peers. My only regret is that I didn't read the preceding episodes in the THE BLUE DRAGON'S GEAS series. Of course, I can remedy this and will do so at...

If I Told You, Would You Listen
by Cheryl Matthynssens — This is saved here for the book I am writing after finale is completed.
If I told you would you listen? If our eyes met would you turn and walk away?Would you pretend you didn't hear me?Would you forget that we were friends until that day
If I told you would you listen? I just pretend to be so strong. I can't really be the center, the pillar, the one you counted on. Read more »

The First Falling
Bobby Rufener
Impressionable Priestess
Clearing in a forest
Investigating strange chanting
Black Feather Quill
Aniata smiled over at Luck as he playfully dug at a rabbit hole. It was rather amusing to watch the dog dig three or four times then bury his nose back into the hole to see if he was any closer to whatever it was driving him to dig. She looked down at her notes with a sigh. The Matron had insisted that she copy the precepts ten times to give to new acolytes. She was fairly certain that Mo...

Recent Books That Have Caught My Eye
Shift by Madison Dunn. $8.99 from Smashwords.comI'm not sure why it happens, but when I focus just right, I can slow time. Things around me become lighter somehow, and I almost feel the tiny particles of energy spinning inside of them. The thing is, having the ability to transform the world around you isn't all it's cracked up to be -- especially when you are running from the Valencia without any deodorant.

Cancer Fight, the True Mole in My Life!
Well here we are again!Journal entry by Cheryl Matthynssens
I had hoped my days of needing to have an outlet and to write here were over. My Oncologist told me today that it will never be "over". He had hoped that I would have more time cancer free then four months, but it just wasn't to be. My cancer is anchored throughout my body. It does not appear it will go into remission. The best hope I have now is to continue to play whack-a-mole with it.
Somewhat expectin...
