Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment. These samples can include excerpts from my all my WIPs and my Eternal Curse Series, but only as works in progress (not the final products).

Eternal Curse: Battleground 6.2 (wip)

“I’m twelve years old. I’m just a kid,” he said. “I’m supposed to be opposed to war, it’s called childlike innocence and naiveté; that doesn’t make me a terrorist.” He leaned forward and held out his hand towards me. “I’ve agreed to help you because my sister said you might be able to get me out of here.”

I took his hand and shook it. I was amazed by his reaction, or lack thereof, concerning the exchange of my energy. Clearly he felt it, but he simply looked into my eyes and then shrugged his shoulders. Then I began to explain our situation concerning his release. “It’s already in the works, though it may take some time. While we will do all we can for you, there’s something we need from you right now.” Mira handed him a package as we spoke quickly and quietly.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 5.1 (wip)

“Thats okay Lisa. You were just trying to be a good friend,” said Rebecca. “I told you it was all going to work out, and as for Virgil; just because he doesn’t sweep me off my feet daily, doesn’t mean I can’t love him. I love him for everything else he does.”
“Your right Becca,” said Lisa. “I mean, what do I really know about love. If you love Virgil, then I love Virgil, and I hope you two will be happy together.” Lisa and Rebecca held each other in the full embrace of two loving sisters. Whatever happened in their pasts or futures to come, they’d be there for each other. After a few tears and several laughs, the two friends reentered the dulling down party inside.
