She looked away quickly hiding her eyes from what she knew would come and simply waited. Eventually the line began to move. The further she moved forward however the closer the creaking of wheels came and as she neared the gates open courtyard the cart finally passed on its way back into the city. She glanced only momentarily but saw enough of the broken figure. An arm hung limp at his side, blood ran down his neck and shoulder, and one of his eyes remained shut. Despite all this, ...
Chapter 1 Saphorria stepped outside. It was still raining. The cobblestone streets were slick and cold as her claws dug in to maintain her careful walking pace. The storm had churned relentlessly for the last three days giving a dreary cast to the city of Norgolis. It had come in quickly from the east, as the worst of them always did, leaving her unable to travel beyond the city gate. Storms like this left little visibility for travelers in the forests outside of the city. It would ...
Hello sffworld folks, I have been in the midst of writing my first novel and was directed by some friends to create a blog to gain exposure for my writing. I have been looking specifically for critical input. I don't believe my writing is at its best yet and I am hoping that those who have more experience at it will see what I have written and tell what I can do to improve. With that said I will be posting the first chapter as it is currently. If anyone is interested ...

Well, to quote Douglas Adams, "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." While I always meet deadlines at work, I am not so successful at writing. This time the issue was I spend too much time doing nothing in the story. I realized this was a problem and came up with a different approach angle, but just ran out of time. --Brian.
The book is enrolled in the Kindle Direct Publishing Select arrangement. This should be the link: [url]http://www.amazon.com:80/dp/B007KMDW9M[/url] It will be available as a free download from 12am 22 June to 11.59pm 26 June (US Pacific time). I'll be publishing another collection of sci-fi short stories in the next few months and will again use this KDP Select facility. It seems like the way to go. Had another decent review of my Alien ...
Having had a frustrating week of itching due to a case of poison ivy, I was feeling, shall we say, less than friendly. Late last night I decided to check my podcasts for my Zune, which I had not downloaded for a while, and got a happy suprise. A new Squonk tale by P.M. Butler. Who is Squonk you say? Well, he is a Dragon who has appeared in two short stories read on the fantasy site Podcastle.org. I became aquainted with him in his adventure "Squonk and the horde of apprentices" ...
To be inspired? I'll do almost anything (keep reading to find out about the rock). So, picture nine beautiful ladies, dressed to inspire—bumping, grinding, singing, spitting poetry, being all tragic or comedic, going on about the stars and history and stuff around one man with his hands all over his instrument. Not sure where your mind was, but I'm talking about the [URL="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/Mousai.html&sa=U&ei=rqfgT6W1Goiw0QWT0NCbDQ&ved=0CAUQFjAA&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNH1cjUNX57gbMvUBanRVUwBERjwSw"]Muses[/URL], ...

[B]WARNING: Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen the movie. [/B] I'm certainly not one to criticize the rewriting of mythology since my novel, Task Force: Gaea, does that by tweaking Greek mythology. After all, people spread myths by word of mouth before they did so in writing, so changes invariably happened. In fact, depending on whether you ascribe to Hesiod or Orphism, you get a variety of myths on the same subject. Keeping this in mind, I watched Wrath of the Titans, the sequel ...

I just want to state here and now, that if by some freak occurance the Republicans get total control of the government and do away with Social Security, I want all the money I put in back. I beleive that is my right as a citizen. If I am never to see any service for the money I put in, then I deserve a refund. Think of the costs to a Republican government if we all stood up for our rights and demanded our money back for lack of fulfilling their obligation. We were made to give them money because ...
I came across a sign that an obvious republican small business owner put up at their business. It said "Socialism is equal sharing of Misery." I found this extremely funny because of how poorly thought out it was given that most of these same republican's define themselves as morally upstanding Christians. Is not sharing the burdens of the downtrodden what Christ asks of us. Talk about moral conflicts.
"Cassira is missing." Valevia's first though was, that's impossible. Cassira is safe with Deana. Deana was a black belt in the art of defense. She was Cassira's protector. Valevia had left Cassira with Deana because she knew and trusted that with her Cassira would always be safe. It was not possible for Valevia to have been wrong about something so important. "You are mistaken, surely." Valevia responded lightly. Brady shook ...
