“Mr.Hemly if I’m correct?”
“...hello...”
“I wanted to ask you some questions about the death of Mr. flouts.”
“Okay…”
“First off Mr.Deets said you attempted to pull Mr. Flouts out of the fountain is that correct?”
“Yes.”
“Would you recall what happened before you all witnessed the event”
“…”
“Anything you remember helps.”
“Andy and I were working a Nightshift, I turned on the office radio. We listened to ain’t nothin' but a hound dog, I love that song. Did you know Elvis didn’t write that song? It was actually some guys named Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. It's been recorded 250 times, and I’ve heard almost every version. It's actually about some lady named Big Mama she-”
“That's very interesting Mr. Hemliy but unimportant to the case at hand. Please try to stay on topic.”
“Sorry, anyway, Andy didn’t want to listen to a hound dog. He wanted to listen to Mr. Sandman. We both like old-sounding music he likes slower-paced songs than I do though. That one’s by-”
“Focus Mr. Hemily stay on topic.”
“I was on topic!”
“I don’t mean to be rude, but, I don’t need to know that you have the same tastes in music. I’m sure Mr. Mansand and Doghound are wonderful songs with a very colorful history, but they do not relate to the death of Mr. Flouts. What happened next?”
“Well, we worked for a bit, Andy looked out the window, and saw Mr. flouts shove his head in the fountain, then we both ran out.”
“Did anything of note happen BEFORE you both saw this? Other than music disputes, obviously, did you see Mr.Flouts before this.”
“Yeah, at the water cooler, Andy got a flu shot last week. Fouts seemed pretty mad, he told him it was immoral and he should be ashamed of himself. Even threatened to get him fired for it. Mr. Deets showed up and Scott walked away. I think he knew he’d get in trouble.”

“He threatened to fire Mr. Mandez over a shot?”
“Yeah…”
“It's October, Why would that be immoral?”
“Because there’d be more ‘problems’ like me.”
“Well, that's not very nice.”
“No...I was fine but Andy was mad about it, really mad. He said Mr. Flouts is mean, and, that's why he’s all alone. That's why I try to be nice, so I don’t have to be alone like him.”
“Well, I think you're a very nice person.”
“Thank you… Andy’s nice too… he’s a little grumpy sometimes but he wouldn’t hurt anyone.”
“... no, it seems not. Tell me, did you notice anything… off about Mr. Mandez before Flout's death?”
“Like what?”

Ravyn's Nights - Book 3
Claire's life led her to love. Love led her to death. Death began her eternal struggle to retain both her love and her humanity through 5 centuries of endless nights. Book 3 covers the 19th century. "Ravyn's Nights" is a six book series, with each book covering a different century. Book 6 was actually started first, and it takes place in the near future, bringing the story to a final conclusion. I then started writing the rest of the series when I decided that I wanted to share the details of the life that made her into who she is in Book 6. At the time of posting the first chapter of the series, books 1-2-3 are completed and books four, five and six are in various states of completion. There is currently a novella following a side character that does include a few crossover chapters featuring the main character. The novella will be included in the completed versions of books 4 and 5.

8 665Cultivator vs. System
To hang out, join my Discord server! Book 1, The First Step is on Kindle, KU, and Audible! Book 2 follows on July 26th. Book 3 is currently on my Patreon and will migrate to Amazon eventually. If you'd like to read my newest free work, check out Good Guy Necromancer on Royal Road. Screw your System. I just want to cultivate. Long Fang is stranded in a foreign world where proper cultivation has been replaced by annoying blue screens. He is confused and alone, but not for Long. He completely ignores the System. He makes friends. He forms his own, wholesome sect, and spreads cultivation across the wild world. But blue screens do not take kindly to rejection, and Long Fang’s stubbornness soon finds him pitted against the forces that be. To overcome the System tribulations, he must quickly grow stronger and wiser… But first, he needs to get past that one annoying town guard. This is a fun, light-hearted read, not a deep one. Chapter updates are M-W-F, and constructive feedback is more than welcome. Thank you for reading!

Out of the ashes of her corpse, the third and final Plane, that of physical existence would be born. Here they would wage a war that would span eons and worlds, until it would finally fall upon a seemingly insignificant planet.

Now it will be up to another of his sons, many millennia down the road, to answer for his Fathers wrongs, as the race for the Throne of the Underworld begins in Book One of The World of Grim.
8 199Fate - Destiny
"This life is just a mere competition of power and authority. They will use that for you - to manipulate you... to enslave yourself in fear and terror - and that's why... I'll give them the taste of their own medicine." That was the most painful realization of the boy who used to be deterministic and tries his best just to prove himself to others that he isn't the boy they think he is. Meet Fate, a boy who had potential but lost it all. The boy who struggles to do his best just to prove himself to everyone, slowly realized a painful truth from the Teran Government - a truth so painful that it snapped him and slowly took his former self. As time pass, as he gain experience, and as he grow older, the fire of determination from his heart slowly faded to the point that he cannot even know who he really is. Fate only knew one thing, though... And it is to end the cycle of fear and manipulation...
