This is a tale from the Northeast, the land of the great forest east of the Great River, form the land of the Norse, who took that name in honor of their God Odin, who they believe is the Odin of our earth. There is animosity between Odin and Brun, and Father and Son, so much so that the Father's and Son's priest dare not cross the East Fork of the Great River' It is the true origin story of Rac, but it is not told in the West because it is quite disrespectful of the three, less so of Mother, but Son is shown as petty and spiteful and followed by evil priest. Most will say that that may have been true, but the Son has changed, that he was reborn as a man and lived, suffered and died and has learn mercy. In fact in a number of tales told in the west of his actions before his life as a man the line is used  "because he had not yet learned mercy, he had not yet lived as a man." In many ways this is true, but this tale if you read deeply into the hints shou...

I am working on a novel/series. It is set on a planet much like earth. In fact the peoples of the planet call it earth. Its oceans are so much greater and the land masses so much smaller, that I could call it Ocean, so we can tell them apart, so I can avoid, what the characters have to go through when talking to Raven about his other earth.  The main difference in Ocean and our world is on Ocean belief is real, to believe in something makes it happen. It can create gods, the bogyman under the bed. If you and 80,000 of your neighbors believe in your pure child demon goddess enough, she can build bridges, roads and entire cities out of artificial obsidian, witch glass, that she has witched as a mist from the ground. There are two other differences. Magic does exist, it isn't a thing of spells and incantations, but more a type of esp. You have to have it in your genes, it cannot be taught. The deeper you understanding of  how things truly work,things like chemistry, phys...

So this is a part from chapter 2  Chapter 2 Twisters Tale (Huntress is just a figment of her imagination). This is part of chapter two. This is the chapter where (spoiler alert, if you want to wait for the story to come out and not spoil any of the big surprises look away now.) This is the chapter where Twister stole my soul. It started as the short conversation she and Rex have at the first camp after Rex rescues Christina and her coming back later to visit him in his dream, for what as she calls it a pleasant night. Now she was in such a strange mood during this encounter showing up as Twister and not Huntress that I had to explain. First she talks to her father, Evil One, and he reminds her of many things that get her thinking. Then Son makes her angry and  Raven seeing how unhappy she is tries to make it better. Now Raven is a special case. He is the oldest of the lessor gods and he has a good relationship with both Mother and Protector and they tell him things they ...

Portion of Chapter 3? This is a portion of what was supposed to be the third chapter of the book. Now it will probably be the 4th or 5th. The story has expanded and change as I got to know Bride/Huntress/Twister, the demon temptress daughter of the Evil One, sent to temp Son the son of the creator sent to redeem humanity. Twister of Souls failed in her mission and was converted instead, saved and married the son, and because of the powers of her blood became the protector of humanity from the monsters produced by their imaginations. She was supposed to be a minor character. Then I got to really meet her. Twister, Twist to her friends, skin as black and shinny as polished obsidian, 5 foot tall, with a body designed to temp, which it was by her and her father before she went to temp the Five Chieftains of Vig.  As the different tales and back stories developed Twist has become probably the central character of the story. My little dream entering, monster hunting, demon goddess of l...

Imperator's Children The Imperator's Children is the common term used for the North Guard or the Northern Army of Reme, the “Republic” that rules the stomach, that region south of the gullet were the army is posted. In reality Reme is an oligarchy ruled by the Senate. The Senators or their representatives meet in Remus to appoint the ruling council for conducting day to day business and to pass new laws. The Senators are either great landholders or the owners of large business enterprises. Reme like ancient Rome is basically a slave society. The large landholders have forced the small farmers off the land either reducing them to surfs or forcing them into the larger cities. The land is farmed as large plantations using slaves captured from the northern barbarians. Controlling these slaves are the Knights, who manage the land for the Senators and work as slave overseers and the personal armies for the Senators. The large businesses are also slave based with Knigh...
