Grabbing my arm, he forces me to my feet. Roughly, he binds my hands together and leaves a long strand of rope which he attaches to his own wrist. "Now, you're going to tell me how to find my brother," he orders. "And why would I do that, James?" "Actually, it's Captain. Captain Hook." Seizing the front of my shirt, he yanks me towards him so our faces are only a few inches apart. My dark flashing eyes meet his cold blue gaze. "You will do as I say or pay the price." Synopsis: Jimmy has been the guardian of Neverland longer than she can remember. She thinks solitude suits her well as the magical island is carefully guarded from outside worlds.

I couldn't put my phone down! Your story is very engaging and amazing!" "I found the book very creative, the idea of setting it in Neverland yet changing the characters from their traditional roles is a great idea. The plot is gripping and interesting. It is full of dramatic surprises and great characters that make the book suspenseful and fun to read." "I love your take on Neverland. Adding Greek mythology was really a nice touch. Jimmy is an unusual character and she seems very opinionated (in a good way), and is very relatable...I love this book!"

At the close of the 'Destruction' - Mother (Terra) had finally had enough. No more would the humans be allowed to slaughter one another pointlessly. No more would they take the rest of her, and her other children, down with them in the process. Thus, she called forth Terra Natus (Earth Arisen): "They came from the trees, they came from the water, from the rocks, from the plants. Mother Terra calling her other children out from centuries of standing idle, martyrs of a dying world, to fight back. Some saw them it is said, saw them walk right up out of the water, saw a boulder unfold itself and stand, just as you or I might. One second a mighty tree, the next? A being, arms stretched up to the glorious sun. (And) No sooner did we see them, than they were shooting us down. We were finally paying for our sins, and for the sins of our parents, and their parents before them...It was a heavy debt to pay." Generations later, the Terra Brothers, or Protectors, haven't even seen a human near their borders in so long that rumors of their extinction has spread. Rumors which are about to be put to rest in a big way, when Isa (the human) and Salix (the Protector) find their paths inescapably interwoven in the pursuit of eliminating a threat to Mother - the likes of which hasn't been known since the age of human dominance. But what is it? And what could have been so terrible as to drive Isa within the Protector's borders in the first place, knowing she would most likely be killed? Furthermore, how will Salix and Isa's relationship develop as they come to find, much to their surprise, that the other is not exactly like what they had been lead to believe?

Slowly, Blade rose to his feet and held his hands up. The man stepped closer and grabbed his arm. Blade looked down at the hand that held him. The skin was rough and appeared to be cracked into dark, solid flakes. The fingers were bony and narrow with long, curved nails. Blade looked up into the man's face. As he shifted, Blade saw a pair of bright green eyes set into a face that was definitely not human. The creature was bald with scaly skin and two slits for a nose. It began dragging him back through the forest. "What are you? What do you want with me?" Blade demanded. "Back home," the creature answered. "No escape this time."

Third Place Science Fiction Winner in the 2017 Eminence Awards Gasping for breath, Isle glanced over her shoulder. Her leather boots barely touched the sand as she raced away from the town. She could hear motors starting behind her. The rounders would be after her soon. Isle hiked the backpack on her shoulders and continued running. Sweat trickled down her forehead into her eyes. Wiping her sleeve across her face, she cleared her vision. Quickly, she looked back again. The rounders were flying over the town's wall. As the circular machines sped towards her, Isle put on another burst of speed. Leaping over a patch of thorny bushes, the young girl stopped. The ground in front of her fell away into a deep ravine. A few rocks beneath her boots dropped into the blackness. As the saying goes, no man can be an isle unto themselves. However, they can definitely try.
