Although David looks like a normal sixteen-year-old, he is torn between the need to kill and craving a life he can't have. When he meets Wanda on the lonely road to Hughenden, she has no way of knowing what he is. Will his desires lead him to something more than a life of aching hunger? Thank you Helen Armstrong for your help in developing this blurb. The first episode will be published on July 31, 2015. Further episodes will be posted every five days until completion. This story contains some strong language, and there is one scene with a description of fatal injuries. It does not feature sex. Although I had intended the full story to be available on Wattpad, I have run out of time. It's time to do some editing now so that it can be made commercially available at the end of the year, both in hard copy and digital forms.

Even after artist Alex Deleon found himself fighting an immortal for a woman he'd just met, he had no idea of the world – and life – that they were about to face together. Imbued with powers he'd only dreamed of and faced with nightmare conspiracies that surpass a fringe theorist's most paranoid delusions, Alex must learn how to confront what he's become and the reality he's faced with. He'd better do it fast, because those same conspiracies are after Sara Taylor – drifter, hero, witch, Weaver. Psychically wounded in a fight with a man even monsters fear, Sara retains an unparalleled power to conduct the forces of destiny, but little else. Together, they must find the strength to change her fate, and possibly, the world's. Because if they don't, a travesty among men waits in the shadows to make fate his own... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You can sign up for email alerts (http://peter-flanagan.com/majestic/list/), follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/PeterFlanagan9), Like my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/PeterFlanaganWriter), or follow Lorena on Tumblr (http://writerswife.tumblr.com/).

Trent McCauley is sixteen, brilliant, and obsessed with one thing: making movies on his computer by reassembling footage from popular films he downloads from the net. In the dystopian near-future Britain where Trent is growing up, this is more illegal than ever; the punishment for being caught three times is that your entire household’s access to the internet is cut off for a year, with no appeal. Trent's too clever for that too happen. Except it does, and it nearly destroys his family. Shamed and shattered, Trent runs away to London, where he slowly he learns the ways of staying alive on the streets. This brings him in touch with a demimonde of artists and activists who are trying to fight a new bill that will criminalize even more harmless internet creativity, making felons of millions of British citizens at a stroke. Things look bad. Parliament is in power of a few wealthy media conglomerates. But the powers-that-be haven’t entirely reckoned with the power of a gripping movie to change people’s minds….

Earth has a population of roughly a billion hominids. For the most part, they are happy with their lot, living in a preserve at the bottom of a gravity well. Those who are unhappy have emigrated, joining one or another of the swarming densethinker clades that fog the inner solar system with a dust of molecular machinery so thick that it obscures the sun. The splintery metaconsciousness of the solar-system has largely sworn off its pre-post-human cousins dirtside, but its minds sometimes wander…and when that happens, it casually spams Earth's networks with plans for cataclysmically disruptive technologies that emulsify whole industries, cultures, and spiritual systems. A sane species would ignore these get-evolved-quick schemes, but there's always someone who'll take a bite from the forbidden apple.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

Tanjura and Heim are no strangers to war, but this time, the war between them is like no other. Heim has unleashed a weapon so powerful, so unprecedented, that it would easily wipe Tanjura out of existence. In a last-ditch attempt to save their world, Tanjura has revealed two of its most brilliant minds: Michael and Claire. Michael is an Assassin so deadly that people believed that just one touch from him would bring death. Claire is an Ultimate, whose powers lie in bending the elemental forces of time, space and energy to her will. Despite their mutual animosity, there's barely enough time for Tanjura to save itself, let alone petty bickering, so they will have to cast aside their differences and figure out a way to save their world.
