You are now reading Books I and II in a combined format. They are presented here as a single volume. Book I is about a thirteen year old boy's journey into magical healing. It is a time of awakening. Awakening to who you are, what you are meant to be, of friends and young love, of power and its use for good or evil. Book I is the book of beginnings. Book II outlines the further adventures of Julian, Nicole and Brian after they have grown up. What's at stake is magnified exponentially as the extent and full power of the Tree becomes realized. Book III has just begun. (Oct 10 2014) Please go check on my profile page. :-) Here's a thought. ^.^ We Canadians sometimes spell things differently. Like 'neighbourhood', 'Paediatrics' or even 'honour'. How's that? :-) So, thank you all so much, but please do not edit my work for spelling or grammar. All right? :-) I'd rather get there on my own, eventually.

The Teen Years - filled with those long, dwindling days till adulthood. Too much pressure, a lot of insecurity, and quite a bit of soul-searching. Thinking there's not an accurate enough representation of teenagedom in fiction, it's only fit that Jenna Lachs writes about such when given the task to create a short story for her Beginners English Class. Filled with memoirs about herself, her hippie foster-parents Hannah and Clide, and her pitiful first attempt at a New Start, Jenna's holding nothing back.

Cruella de Vil might have been cruel, manipulative and ambitious to a fault. But she was also pretty, resourceful, straightforward and most importantly herself. After her release from jail, (if you remember) she finds herself changed slightly; slightly good, slightly kind. This doesn’t bother her as much as the fact that she’s losing herself in the whirlwind of life somewhere and she’s not sure how much she likes it. She’s trying to find the correct balance between being herself (Cruella) and being good (Annabel) which leads to a thorough study of her feminity.

We set up hospitals in refugee camps, we help women give birth safely, we vaccinate children to prevent epidemics and we provide access to safe drinking water.

In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!) (Note: This is a draft so please excuse any errors. The finished novel is available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook).
