When the tides palpitate by the moon, their disarray plagues the city of Veer in Noorenia and their people, with the haunting howls of wolves and the appearance of blood in their swamp. On Nezha's return, she and her companions hear of a bloody water elemental Amaya who rides atop a black Unicorn. Mysteries unfold and Nezha finds out if blood truly is thicker than water. This was a draft for the sequel to Crowning Soul. I have kept the comments and votes, but deleted the chapters' contents. When I do finish it, I will add a preview, but for now, I'm working on publishing the first book.

This is an excerpt from a story I wrote long ago called The Legend of Bolder. Bolder is the big guy in the iron suit on the left in the cover picture. The guy in the middle singing the song for you is Ander, the Silver Elf. The little guy on the right is Groan the Dwarf. The Legend of Bolder was intended to be a children's story, but I couldn't resist putting this Song in the middle of it, as an "extra." Some newswriter noted the other day that in the 1970's the world went through a period he thought was similar to what we are going through now. Not sure about that, but it reminded me of writing this back then. Thought it might be time to share it again.

The year - 1941. The world is at war, Pearl Harbor has been bombed and conscription is enforced for the fourth time in American history. But, over New York, another 'unworldly' conflict has also been waged - one which is a direct result of an escapee from the Fourth Dimension arriving in Earth's atmosphere; The Sorceress of Zoom. This war requires special forces from factions such as The Syndicate of the Weird and The Mystery Men; Science-heroes. They fight valiantly although many casualties result from the Sorceress' merciless attacks. Finally, having survived the battle, The Syndicate of The Weird, just got weirder. In an attempt to deflect one of the Sorceress' malevolent transformation spells from hitting a fellow Syndicate member, Zanzibar the Magician finds himself victim; altered - into a woman. In an era when homosexuality and androgyny are not only frowned upon but also penalised, Zanzibar must come to grips with this life-changing conversion. Not only that but will his powers be affected as well? Improved or impoverished? Can he find a way to reverse the spell? And how will the collaboration with fellow science-heroes fare from now on?

Becky Bridgestone isn't the girl she pretends to be. She has secrets. Dark secrets that she doesn't want anyone else to know. There's something about the new boy that scares her. When he looks at her, it's like he can read her thoughts. Rob's move to Kalara High had only one positive. The hockey team. It ranked number one in the state.

So why is it, he can't stop thinking about Black Cat? Rob soon learns Becky isn't who he thinks she is. Now he wants to help her escape the prison that is her life. MATURE READERS 16 AND OVER!
