Story development: Twists and Turns
Greetings from the Author’s Chair.

“probably could, but they fight dirty.” “Not as dirty as my brother fights,” Jhahnahkan stopped and thought real hard for a moment, “I remember! I remember I have a brother!” he exclaimed, “But that is all I remember, and that I took him in a fight recently, It is just a blur...” “Take it easy there mister.

We’re in big trouble now.” “Relax Rex, it will be fine,” Jhahnahkan motioned with his hand as he got up and walked over to the Russell brothers. “Yeah, you better come over here so we can whip ya ass all over the floor,” Tim said as he set his pool cue down. Jhahnahkan said no words”

Hello Brian,Thank you for your friendship. Your book Secret of the Crystal sounds like a well thought-out and interesting story.
Thinking about your achievements and how difficult it was for you in school with dyslexia. Like you, my dyslexia was not discovered early.
Look forward to reading you. Best wishes and success in all you hope to accomplish.

Hey Brian. Thanks for connecting! Looking forward to bumping into you here on GR!Saul
Thanks for the invite! Look forward to talking books with you. =)
Necessary part of writing is the editing phase. But sometimes I just feel the life being sucked out of me by energy vampires. I just want to write ;-)
Hi Brian, thanks for the friend invite! I look forward to getting to know your work. Cheers, Felicity.
