Separated from his parents at an exceptionally young age, Turtle McGee hasn't had the easiest life. Now a fully grown reptile, he awakens one day with new-found courage, promising himself that he will fulfill his long awaited dream. This dream is simple. He wishes to travel the world.
The world is a dangerous place, however, filled with endless bounds of the unknown, waiting to be discovered by some unaware soul. Turtle McGee is one of these souls, getting wrapped up in a situation that is far beyond what the bounds of current knowledge can comprehend.
With bits of his blurred past scattered all around him, follow Turtle McGee on his epic adventure as he, piece by piece, solves the mysteries of his former life. Many friends will be made along the way, not to mention enemies, as he finally unravels his true purpose in this world.
Will he complete his long awaited dream, or crumble beneath its unbearable pressure? Only time will tell.

Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay.

On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete

"That's what I wanted to teach you May, you should know now, that life isn't always going to have a good end.

May nodded slowly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Once upon a time, is how most fairytales start. Then, they end with a happily ever after. But not this story...

Dreamcatchers ACT 1
Every person on earth has one thing in common with one another; wanting their lives to play out like a movie with a perfect ribbon at the end of it all. That's not how it is at all in our world. We harbor regrets, guilt, jealously, and pain in our minds with a wish to replay it. That way of thinking eats at us at night when the silence is our only friend, changing us as a person without even realizing it, but what if we could see these negative parts of ourselves. What if we could get rid of physical manifestations of our phobias, trauma, and repressed memories still affecting the mind? London, whose clumsy pride makes him a target in high school, finds himself in an ever-evolving world within the minds of unfortunate victims whose lives need saving, learning more about himself and how the world may just be able to rest when the peace and quiet are interrupted. He isn't the only one either, whether those people come to share in his vision of justice or their own sense of what is right.Complete
