Curses!
In less than an hour, Linda and Deilune were dead tired. Purchasing a few basic necessities of clothing left them exhausted. As did the stares and comments from teens in the mall that Halloween was soooo yesterday.
Drained, they took a seat on the main concourse near large, curvy planters packed with fanning ferns and lofty grasses that screened off the mall’s Food Court.
"If I weren't relatively sure that we'd come back to life last night, I'd say we were in purgatory," Deilune whispered to Linda as they surveyed the frenetic energy of younger shoppers.
"Feeling old?" Linda asked.
Close up, Deilune could see through her veil and her puckered grin. "No, Linda, not old, just other-worldly. And I'm not talking about what happened last night. I'm talking about their world.” He pointed to the packs of teens and preteens. “Their world is so different. How’d that happen?"
She took his gloved hands in hers. "Dale, as much as I like to say I wasn't born yesterday,” she paused, “I was, and so were you. For some reason we've been given another chance. Everything is new again. In a strange way, we get to be parents and children at the same time.
“I'm not questioning what's happened to us. After holding Lottica this morning and watching Nick enjoy his breakfast, I just see it all with new wonder. I'm going to love this life as long as we have it."
Deilune squeezed her hands. "You're right, dear. I've been anxious about how long we have. If Nick and Lottica might lose us a second time. But, we need to enjoy the wonder of what we’ve been given. Besides," he kicked at one of the shopping bags, "we just made quite an investment in new clothes, so we'd better get a few years out of them."

They laughed and Linda leaned her veiled head against her husband's. "So what would Nick and Lottica say if they saw us like this? Would they tease us about puppy love?"
"More likely, zombie love, dear."
Before Deilune had a chance to chuckle at his own joke, he overheard something that stopped him cold. His head swung loosely around searching because he was positive that on the other side of the fern-filled planters he’d heard someone cursing loudly—in Lebreiman!

In The Tall Grass

Explore the summer before her senior year that triggered the domino effect of Elizabeth's emotional and psychological breakdown that lead her to take her own life. This is the prequel to the main story, Petrichor and was never intended to be made. I wrote this because I wanted to explore Elizabeth's character and show how the main characters have changed since this event. I decided to release this first because Petrichor is undergoing a full rewrite. In the meantime, I'm writing a side story called Mourning Glory that takes place between the second and third act of Petrichor. Development is going rather fast so I suggest to to read that if you like this story

The BLOODLANDS
The story follows a young lord in which a middle-aged man reincarnated into the body and gets a second chance at using the knowledge he learns from reading in his past life. No longer bound to the world of his library and university but in a world in which if he failed not only his death but the death of others are in his hands. This concept of the book came about from having two mild heart attacks and the regrets of not being more active in my younger life. Note: The cover of the book is from a painting of Richard the Lionheart at the Battle of Arsuf (1191) during the Third Crusade where he defeated Saladin. Painting by Gustave Doré (19th century).

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time. When he decides to experience the modernity that he heard so much about the cities outside of his region, a theft forces him to stop on his way to the capital city. The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use. Ignorant of the life in the country's most important city, Saul will have to face culture shock to adapt to this outside world unknown to him, and to the people and events that will make him fall into the bowels of the world of temptations. Cover illustration by Demizu Posuka, illustrator of Yakusoku no Neverland (The Promised Neverland).
