The antagonist.

He grabbed the knife by his its blade!

Alessio leapt back, breathing heavily as the knife vanished in Arsene’s hand, disintegrated almost instantly. All the color drained from his face as he imagined what could happen if Arsene used his powers on him.

@jared-williams  CONGRATULATIONS on finishing it!!!!!!

I won’t be able to help you out; I’m sorry. Thanks for thinking of me, though.

Sherlock discovered how hard he could hit the brakes, coming to a stop. The idiot, who was in the road, took what looked like a cane/sword (Sherlock didn’t know which) and tapped the car hood. He scratched the back of his head, as he marveled at the “borrowed” car.

Ugh, I’m becoming more like Arsene, Sherlock thought. “You’re blocking the road!”…[Read more]

so to summarize in simplistic fashion, curses derive their power from satan, while blessings derive their power from God…

Who uses the curses?

Who has the power to bless and how do they get it? (does God give that power to them? why?)

it’s not meant to be ambivalent or ambiguous, it’s just that they are not known to the protagonist and thus aren’t delved into. The lore is complicated and would take a long time to explain while at the same time would not have anything to do with the novel I wrote, so to summarize in simplistic fashion, curses derive their power from satan,…[Read more]

and an intriguing way of separating it.

It is hard to make what I was saying clear in regard to the difference between fantasy and magic/supernatural. Perhaps this short guest blog post I wrote for Joelle (whom you know) will help make my beliefs clearer:…[Read more]

no real deadline. I’d like to start putting feelers out for traditional publishers this summer… but I have no set date or anything.

That is an interesting question and an intriguing way of separating it.

Okay. So, essence is more of an ability that the people of the world have. So in my mind it’s not treated like supernatural or magic. It’s far from witchery and it is not seen as breaking the of the rules of nature. However, it actually touches upon racism because each race…[Read more]

@jared-williams

That’s an interesting plot, Jared!

However, I do not read books with protagonist-related supernatural content (biblical reasons). Does your book contain supernatural/magical elements? (I do not consider fantasy abilities magic/supernatural unless they are called magic/supernatural or treated as such)

Except for the that magic mirror! 😄 But he wouldn’t remember that…😢

Yeah, glass cuts are not fun, poor baby…!!!

Shoot, I hope somebody teaches him how to pick glass out of his feet…

Not as a voice of reason lol, but definitely each in their own way! They all are hyper-skilled in their own thing, and could be twice as grand working…[Read more]

Welcome to the Character Castle! This is where you can bring your characters to meet one another (role-play), and perhaps even discover new things about them and their arcs.

A few guidelines:

1. No character may leave the boundaries of the castle, but you can invent any room (library, indoor garden, kitchen, etc.) as it pertains to…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>AHH YES I’D LOVE TO READ THIS SO MUCH!!!!! Unfortunately, I am over-committing myself at the moment and am not sure if I’ll have time. Is there a deadline to sign up?</p>

“Yeah… I wouldn’t eat those.” K’Nika replied.

Kallun nodded.

“Julian’s poisoned us with berries before, so I don’t trust his judgement,” Lacey said.

“Just tell the entire world, would you, Lace?” Julian rolled his eyes.

“Maybe next time,” Ellie said kind of laughing at her friends.

😄
Thanks.
AND HE REALLY DOESN’T. HE’S NEVER SEEN GLASS BEFORE. He didn’t know! And now his feet- Ayyyyy. My boy…

Though… you all’s characters are pretty smart, in their own ways, too…

I really like your new tagline!
I’ve been thinking about changing mine… *strokes chin thoughtfully*
