DREAMS are the realm of both good and evil. Always vigilant, the dreamer weaves in and out of reality like a snake slithering between the leaves and grass, but what about those children who cannot understand, learn, speak, and communicate on a higher plain? Can these special children dream of a better future, of love, and a caring family. Can these children become superheros and change the WORLD, like you and I? 

     Kevin Carpenter is one of those seventeen year old boys, who will always look at the world as a child. His mother almost died, giving birth to him, but Keven's parents would NOT send their damaged boy away, just because he was special... They dedicated their lives to him... doing everything they could. Now he is able to talk, and have fun at the school for severely damaged children. He has FRIENDS...  as well as a loving family.

     Kevin's father discovers an ancient spaceship buried on his farm.  Elee, the spaceship,  transforms the lives of Kevin, Kevin's friends, their families... and ultimately... all who inhabit our planet... Yes... You and Me.
     How do you create superheros? Repair the child, let him fly to a planet in another galaxy, and hope that some day he returns home.

As you read, please tell me how you feel about the story. This cover was drawn in 1976... found again last month in my studio. It was a dream that turned into "In Search Of Elysium". All comments are welcome. See an error, let me know.

Learning the Ordinary by AddleTwintone
4 parts Complete
Acceptance is something everyone wants. We all want to be cool, popular, but to put it simply, we just want to fit in. However, this little thing proves to be the greatest challenge to Ezra. Ezra knows only the feeling of being rejected and despised ever since he was little. But the sad thing is...it is not his fault. It is his shadow that is to blame. Ezra was born with the one-of-a-kind ability to solidify his shadow-allowing it to walk at his side. Unfortunately, Ezra's shadow is highly protective of its master which ultimately keeps people away due to its intense power. Years of isolation have allowed Ezra to see just how cruel and unforgiving people truly are. Not knowing anything beyond the walls of his town, he often dreams of how life would be like if he was normal. On an average day, Ezra meets a traveling performer. This chance encounter begins to unfold the path to Ezra's future. Learning of The Church of Zelst, a mystical church that floats through the sky, Ezra sets off with the hopes to remove his 'gift.' But things are far more dangerous than he could have ever imagined. Every decision will test Ezra's strength and will to move forward. Only having a narrow view of life, Ezra is forced to learn the ways of life he never knew existed. Other Powers will join him, some will try to kill him, leaving Ezra one, and only one, choice: Learn how to survive. With dangerous enemies at every turn, Ezra is willing to put his life on the line to find this mystical church...all for the sakes of being normal. This exciting action-packed Science Fiction Adventure is filled with twists and turns that will keep you wanting more. The mystery of Ezra's shadow will come to light as truthful mysteries await you every few pages. Theme Song: "Ready to Believe" by Edisun

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Do your genes, your parents, teachers, or your master determine who you will be in life? Can they set your value in the universe? 650 years ago the known species of the universe came together and signed the Alliance, a document that would help each race find its place in the universe. It granted freedom to some and the scant protection of slavery to others. Into this society a handful of children are born who will change it forever, if they can survive to adulthood. Here is the origin story of two of those children. Hathu is born to a man determined to make the universe bow to him and his species. Since he learned to talk, Hathu has been a disappointment to his father. He doesn't want to become a warrior, and he refuses to assert his dominance. When he accidentally overhears his father plotting against the Ir'Klahn empire, can Hathu stop him? Mik is born with no rights, destined to become a lifelong slave. His mother tries to protect him from this fate by running away and finding a home for them on a trading ship that travels from world to world.
