In the northern lands of the Realm, lies the village of Tallowcross. Across the river, the lands of the Skardaal lie undisturbed for twenty years, the ferry unused, the crossing banned by the King. Then Rudi, a King's militiaman, takes a poisoned arrow in the shoulder, and it's time for someone to act. Author's Note... Hopefully I'll get some chapters uploaded. Feel free to offer comments, critisizm, and praise... all welcome, some more than others! This is a work in progress.

"Walden, or Life in the Woods, is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance. First published in 1854, it details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development."

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors, who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set.

Do you like your vampires to have some spark? Charisma? To have a chunk of bad-ass? Enter cheerleader vampire Mandy Cross. On page one of this thrill-ride series, she’s ripping the neck from her vampire lover, Alan McCartney. In the middle of the marching band no less! This girl takes no prisoners-if you wrong Mandy Cross, you’re going down! Watching from the side-lines, Lyman Bracks’s High School life is thrown into turmoil as he watches his best friend’s throat torn open by the visiting cheerleader. Alan’s mom was never going to get those stains out of his tunic! To unravel the mystery behind Alan’s bizarre demise, Lyman must investigate his fellow seniors at Gregor Academy. Mandy is certainly no innocent party, fleeing the scene with Alan’s blood on her hands, dripping down her chest, and smeared all over her pretty smiling face. But her perception of Alan McCartney is vastly different from Lyman’s. Authors' note: The Vampires Don't Cry series is a two-voiced tale, with each author taking the lead on an individual character. April writes as Mandy Cross- cheerleader turned vampire, wrestling with her conscience as she tries to survive her turbulent new world. She's sharp, edgy and ruthless, not for the faint of heart. Ian writes as geek Lyman Bracks, ordinary nobody,dragged kicking and screaming into the unbelievable world of Vampires and Vampire hunters.
