~Miles Behind Me A poem by: Effie Blackwell Teacher: Mr. Evans I wish to be far away, where no one can find me. I want to be lost somewhere at sea. I wish to be somewhere, where I'll be free. Somewhere my parents will never be. I want to be able to run freely, and play with any toy. I want to be able to smile, and feel true joy. I don't want to be scared, scared to die. I want to feel safe, and not cry. I want to go away, far away. Where my house will be, miles behind me.~ This is a story about a young girl named Effie, trying to get away from her home. But when her wish to go far away comes true, it's not exactly as she planned, and she's on an adventure she never thought she'd be on. (Warning: Contains violence.)

Many times people will say to me "I wish I could do what you do!", and I always say the same thing "You CAN!". In fact you Do you do it on a daily basis, it's just that you're not aware that you're doing it. The difference between us is that I do it consistently on a daily basis and so can YOU. In my workshops, I let my students know that doing any intuitive work is like going to the gym. When you first go you don't start lifting the 100lb weights (well maybe some of you do ;-)) but normally you start off with the lighter weights and eventually build up to the heavier ones. This is the same with animal communication, the more you do it the stronger & better at it you become. #Maya

{Completed} Highest Ranking: # 1 in Fantasy (01/28/17) Book. 1 My blood boiled at the thought of one of them in our streets, hidden in plain sight, perhaps even by one of the kids from the orphanages. Would it murder innocent human children? You bet. Would it even think twice about gutting a starving child? Never. What could do this, you're probably asking. But it boils down to one single word. One word that made anger I hadn't known I possessed, roar to life like a pissed off lion. One word that sent a cold chill spider-walking down my spine. Faeries. ------------ Eve Scotts's world is divided by magic - The Order of the Seven who rules over her kingdom with a steel fist and the murderous faeries's she'll be forced to fight when she turns eighteen. Eve is a dueler, a human that dabbles in the elements to fight in underground scuffles for some extra coin to feed her fellow orphans back home. But she has a secret weapon: She can wield ice magic - a magic that is only reserved for the High Witches at court. But she makes a mistake. She exposes herself. Rumors are spreading of a small orphan girl who can wield the power of ice, and it isn't long until the Order sends one of their own to snatch up the bounty. In exchange for the secrecy of her special gift, Eve agrees to participate in the Witches Academy, where humans are taught to wield the power of the elements and become powerful witch soldiers for the Order's disposal. As Eve is drawn further into the Witch world, she risks everything to learn more about her power and her lineage. With her frozen heart melting for the Count of Night, Sebastian O'Neill, Eve is thrown into a cyclone of love, betrayal, and family drama she hadn't even known an orphan could inherit. Soon, Eve must decide: Is love, or survival more important? Word Count: 102,000.
