Born in the heart of West Virginia, Royce dreamed of becoming a writer throughout his younger years and was always an avid reader. Starting out with an old, and often temperamental typewriter, he wrote poems and stories that helped to develop his young imagination. While he was in Junior High School, a kind-hearted teacher took his first "manuscript" home for the summer and painstakingly read through pages and pages of violent, poorly written combat scenes. She returned it the following school year with the classic red marks, suggestions, and encouragement that fueled his desire to write.

This simple chain of events is the herald of a new age that was prophesied by the Native Americans long ago in the "Seven Fires Prophecy." Chapters 1 through 5 have been posted here as a teaser to the rest of the novel that will be published later this year.

Review: Vicious

Vicious Vicious by V.E. Schwab
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes one simply must read something based on the recommendations of others. This novel is one of those gems that I found in an agent's biography.
Vicious introduces a cast of characters with acquired super-human abilities and a propensity for vengeance. Schwab's clear-cut voice and stereotype twists escort the reader through a never-ending s Read more of this blog post »

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
