Story can take you anywhere, let you be anybody & help you beat all the odds. It can give you a glimpse into a world you never knew before & fill you with awe & wonder.

For many years I've written short stories, but over the last few years I've taken the plunge to try my hand at at writing a novel.

Only one problem.

I couldn't finish it, because I was already starting to write the next. Now I've got about four novels in the making, full of characters begging me to finish their adventures & wondering what lays on the next page's of their stories.

A bit melodramatic and predictable. Still cool idea and I enjoyed it for the most part.

Absolutely incredible. Love the sarcastic nature of the MC and the quirkiness of how he words things. And the friendship between the two characters is my favourite.

“...tell me the word that will win you, and I will speak it. I will speak the stars of heaven into a crown for your head; I will speak the flowers of the field into a cloak; I will speak the racing stream into a melody for your ears and the voices of a thousand larks to sing it; I will speak the softness of night for your bed and the warmth of summer for your coverlet; I will speak the brightness of flame to light your way and the luster of gold to shine in your smile; I will speak until the hardness in you melts away and your heart is free...”

“To see evil and call it good, mocks God. Worse, it makes goodness meaningless. A word without meaning is an abomination, for when the word passes beyond understanding the very thing the word stands for passes out of the world and cannot be recalled.”

“What makes you so certain?"
"But I am not certain," I told him. "Nothing is certain. You want certainty?"
"Yes!"
"Then you want death.”
