samplesundayHere is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment. These samples may include excerpts from my Eternal Curse Series, but will currently exclude excerpts from EC: Giovanni’s Angel. Please visit the ECS blog to read samples from that installment of the series.

Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 2(wip)

By this time, Jack was an old man, but he was still very strong and fit. Standing six fit tall with a perfectly straight back, he looked like a stone cutout of an old military officer. Even with his grey hair and wrinkled skin he was quite a sight. He leaned over to my ear with his hand rested on my shoulder. “You say the word…I’ve got them all within my trajectory. I’ll take’em all out for you?” he reported.

I swiftly turned in front of him recognizing the sincerity of his tone and put out my hands to address him. “No, that won’t be necessary. You don’t need to take anyone out, but I’d love some help and moral support.” I tilted my head to one side making the most innocent face I could.

Count Your Blessings 03: Time

Time

Does time really exist or is it simply a manifestation of man’s desire to calculate and control the world in which we live?…uuhhhh whatever.

I’m grateful for my clocks, my watches, my schedules, and my calendars. Time is on my side as long as I don’t waste it. I’m blessed to have a concept of time. I know I won’t live forever and though I don’t know when my time will be up, I grateful to have a concept that lets me plan ahead just in case.

Character Files from the ToiBox 24: Lilly- Bio

ECB-L

nofemaleBiography:  Subject EC:B 4-Lilly

Lilly is a shadow. She’s there all along, but she easy to forget. Her impact, however, lasts and lasts.

Lilly meets Giovanni and Mira as a little girl, but they don’t learn her story until later in her life when trouble arises. Giovanni and Mira will eventually serve as secret guardians to Lilly, protecting her from the world of the others which she can’t seem to stay away from.

Lilly’s tale, like everyone else in this series is a bit tragic. She was adopted as a baby and raised by an average human family, but like all families, it had its issues. When her parents decide to get a divorce, it was only the first of many struggles she’d have to overcome.

All in all, Lilly actually lives a rather pleasant life. She gets an education, gets married, has a career, and goes on to become a grandmother.
