Facial Hair Confuses Babies. One of a number of random observations from an unprepared, unreliable and neurodiverse parent. This ...er... thingy, diatribe, publication, list, call it what you will is a collection of odd thoughts, random observations and general rubbish from the sleep deprived and generally caffeine-infused brain of a slightly frazzled parent. As with most parents, I'm still growing up alongside my kids and have realised that often they're probably more mature than I am. More intelligent too. Make of it what you will... a paper aeroplane seems like a good idea.... fold here...

Adel had always looked up to the heroes of her favorite TV show, Bleach. The confidence, the fighting, it all seemed so amazing. But when she's mysteriously sucked into the world of the program she loves and is forced to follow the story, who knows who will become the true hero?

The afterlife. It's a lot like medieval Europe, just worse. Mandisa, a pretty typical peasant girl save some reckless propensities and quick wit, leads a relatively normal life.

Alone and on the run from the murderous soldiers sent to eradicate her village, she finds her only solace in a mysterious necklace bestowed upon her by her mother before her death. Along the road she finds friends in odd places and discovers strengths in herself she never dreamt of having. But nothing is perfect and after a bout of romance she is sent spiraling down, meeting an all time low. But, with the unexpected arrival of Rain, a girl from our world, Mandisa is given the opportunity to turn her life around. Can Rain help or will Mandisa's cursed luck prevail again? You'll have to find out for yourself.

Random poetry and the occasional drabble or dribble of other short random thought from the depths my somewhat bemused brain, or possibly Brian if the schizophrenic misspelt pseudo entity that lives up there is up to his old tricks... poems from the Tardis like halls of my head. No genre is safe...

Ivy Blake has been seeing ghosts ever since she can remember. Her parents always believed she had imaginary friends. Then one day, she sits next to Jamis Brack, one of the most gorgeous guys of her school. He makes constant innuendos that he knows what she can do. Finally after a little bonding, Ivy admits what she can do. Jamis has known--or at least guessed as much and is really, not surprised. He takes her to the house where people like him live--the Hidden Hunters. She helps the boys, is accepted as the first girl Hidden Hunter and there's definitely some romance, especially with Jamis and Killian (real name Kyree). And maybe a thing or two happens along the way...

[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).
