Elise is just trying to survive her first week at a soul-crushing game studio, but life has other plans. Enter Pudgeon: a talking pigeon with a flair for chaos, a smart watch that might be magic, and a train that goes anywhere, even through the laws of reality. Together, they stumble into cosmic battles, magical transformations, and the occasional existential crisis.
Part magical girl adventure, part office satire, part absurdist commentary on work, life, and alienation. If you like Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and stories where bureaucracy meets heart beams, you've found your next obsession.

Kalmar Escapade: Reincarnated in Another World's Scandinavia
The well-renowned Danish engineer & astronaut Frederik Mogensen would finally have achieved his career's magnum opus, if not for a faulty rocket component causing a rapid unscheduled disassembly over the Atlantic ocean. But this would not be the end of his story, as reincarnation turns out to be an actual thing & has revived him... with a catch. Instead of waking up to a shark chewing on his socks, he wakes up as a girl in another world. A world very similar to our own, yet very different. Near future tech. Different history leading to different borders. Magic. Along with the aftereffect of evading death & dying after she should've. As we say in Denmark: "Det var da træls... Nåh, så'n er det." ▽▽▽ Disclaimer: Any mention of real life companies/organizations is purely fictional and does not represent the real world activities of said companies/organizations.

When You Can't Go Forward And You Can't Go Back
The thoughts, thunks, imaginings, phantasies, poetry, prose, essays and wordspasms of Donovan Volk, a despairing activist-writer who survives on eggs, potatoes and waxy apples. Much if not most is taken from life. When the author is not sitting in a darkened room making letters into words, (and words into sentences) , he is standing by a highway trying to thumb a lift, slowly drinking in the silence in the forest or tundra, pursuing a great coffee in some smoggy pit or bothering the local and national authorities. When the author is not referring to himself in the third person, he is referring to himself in the first, or sometimes to others in the second, or to the world at large in the first. This book is a depository, always evolving, it is as polymorphous as an alchemists tube-flask. The bunsen burner to this alchemical process is always life, the oxidase; imagination. The substance; feeling. I am sorry world, I will always let you down. Never will I quite do justice to the heights of wonder or the depths of despair that inhabit and fill up this globe. I can only do my best. Thank you for tolerating me so far.Complete

With the possibility of a Fourth Fate to investigate and the need to work out of an old ally is friend or foe, the odds have never been higher. With so much at risk, will Elise be able to find that happily ever after she's dreamed of or will it just be another nightmare? ___________________ Recommended reading order: Hunter: Blood Moon #1 Hunter: Begin Again #2 Hunter: Cursed #3 Hunter: Eclipse #4 Hunter: Gods & Monsters #5 Hunter: Crossroads #6 Hunter: Fate & Fury #7 (C) 2021 ellarose12Complete
