LUCKY PARK: THE QUEST FOR THE MYTHICAL GLYPH
Seattle native Lucky Park has always been a connoisseur of adventure, mostly from the safety of his couch. He dreams in the language of lost maps and jungle heroes, a stark contrast to his actual life of lukewarm coffee and police procedural reruns. That all changes when his ambitious Filipina investigative journalist roommate, Nina Domingo, lands the biggest story of her career: tracking a legendary Southeast Asian relic—the Mythical Glyph.
Against his better judgment (and Nina's strenuous objections), Lucky is pulled from his urban comfort zone and thrust into the steamy, dangerous heart of the jungle. He's hilariously out of his depth, constantly looking at his map collection for advice, which only serves to annoy the focused Nina. While he manages a few spectacular, comedic vine-swings, their journey is a series of escalating disasters, including a frantic speed boat chase.
They are pursued by the brilliant and ruthless antiquity trafficker, Imani, an African American collector who aims to claim the Glyph for herself.
As they brave ancient ruins and face off against terrifying, stone-like creatures guarding the prize, Lucky makes a shocking discovery: the local villagers believe he is somehow connected to the Glyph's destiny, a prophesied return they have been awaiting. Lucky's literary daydreams have collided with a reality far more dangerous, and perhaps, more meaningful, than he ever imagined.
He thought adventuring was just something you read about. Now, Lucky Park must navigate a jungle full of mercenaries, monsters, and a destiny he never asked for, if he wants to make it back to Seattle in one piece.
Does this revised blurb capture all the elements you were hoping for, including Imani and Lucky's connection to the Glyph?

The Legend of the Uncharted Island by Horus101925
82 parts Ongoing
In the 17th century, the infamous pirate Verbeck terrorized the Spanish colonies, amassing an incalculable fortune. But his greatest secret does not lie in the Caribbean... rather, it is hidden on an island in another world, where he stashed his treasure alongside an artifact of unimaginable power: the Helm of Guzob, a war relic of the elves. A Century later, a failed writer steals an ancient diary that describes a sailor's journey in search of an island that appears on no map. Inspired, he writes a novel based on these tales, never imagining that its publication would awaken the fury of the Spanish Empire and the Holy Inquisition, who see more than fiction in those pages... and accuse him of heresy. The writer is arrested and taken to prison. When his granddaughter discovers what has happened, she decides to investigate on her own and soon finds herself drawn into the same dangerous conspiracy. Her search leads her to cross paths with a young Jesuit, a descendant of Verbeck, who is also following the trail of the legendary island. Both end up joining the crew of Captain Skippy, a bold elf in service to the elven colony of Synderin, on the edge of the forests of the British colony of Georgia. With his people on the brink of economic collapse, Skippy sees the hunt for the treasure as the last chance to save his home. But they are not alone in the race for Verbeck's fortune. A greedy viceroy, a ruthless pirate, and fanatical inquisitors, guided by dark forces, are willing to spill blood to claim the helm and the pirate's cursed gold. For Skippy, his crew, and their new allies, this journey will be more than a simple treasure hunt: it will be an odyssey that defies the laws of their world and forces them to confront secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)

It has been nine years since Lyra discovered Grigore; her Weaver and guardian of the living magic nestled in her body. Nine years since she doggedly followed him through hell and death, determined to not let him slip out of her grasp and shake free his denial. Nine years since he accepted her. Rumours are spreading that a Lord is hunting Sources; his lands plagued by famine and madness. As Lyra dreams of two women begging her to save them, she finds herself inexplicably pulled to the cursed lord and his haunted lands. Despite the dangers, Lyra and Grigore dive into the chaos, unaware that their abilities as a hunting pair and as lovers was going to be put to the test. Volume Two of the Dark Folktales. This is a horror, erotic romance, with monster-of-the-week vibes, such as Buffy, Supernatural, Witcher, Claymore, and Van Helsing. (I'm a massive fan of the monster hunting genre.) Back in 2014 I finished writing the original story, The Weaver's Source, and I am re-opening the world again as I feel I have a story worth telling. The Coven's Source is set nine years after the original ends, is a single story arc rather than many small ones. This will show the hunter I always envisioned Lyra to be but didn't have the opportunity to show. Author's note - Please be mindful of what you're saying when commenting. I'm happy with helpful criticism, spelling/grammar pointers, questions or simple chatter. However, a tirade of needless, unhelpful complaints and just outright rude commentary is not welcome. My stories are terrible first drafts, they're going to be riddled with issues, so just politely highlight if you feel there's a problem. I'll listen and likely take on board the criticism. And if you're not enjoying it, that's fine, just move on and thank you for giving it a shot.
