"Hey babe."
"Hi..."
"All okay?"
"Yeah I mean-I...guess so."
"Want to talk about it?"
"I-I don't know. Should I?"
"Well if you do want to, know that I am here."
"I know, that's partly why I called."
"So what's up?"
"I fought with my mom. Again."
"Oh. Are you alright?"
"I don't know, she doesn't understand...my choices you know? I don't even get it, what more could I possibly do to make her happy."
"Well, for starters you could ask her what is that she wants and desires for her daughter."
"Yeah like she'll tell me, I've tried it before. Didn't work."
"Well, did you really talk to her properly? Like sat down and spoke your heart out?"
"I-I think so...we were discussing my future plans"
"Okay. Then you need to ask her how she is? You know my parents are super protective, my mom threw a fit when she got to know I wanna attend college in the west coast."
"You're not from Cali?"
"Nah, I'm from Chicago:"
"Wow I didn't know this. What about Grace then?"
"Actually, Grace is in our college, she's a senior."
"Really? Wow, siblings together."
"Yeah she's annoying sometimes but, you know it's good to have a familiar face around."
"Must be nice. So when your mom threw a fit, you spoke to her...how exactly?"
"Firstly, I just sat her down to calm her nerves and listed the reasons why I wanted to come here."
"That sounds...simple."
"Not everything is complicated, sweetheart."
"Yeah...I think I'll try this. But I've Skype so too bad I can't be there in person."
"Well, as long as you can see her."

"Hmmm...true."
"So...? Was I any helpful?"
"Yes, drake boy you were."
"Well you know what they say- words are all I have to take your heart away."
".................."
"You do know your laugh is melodic right?"
"Is that flattery I here?"
"For you? Always."
".....goodbye Cal."
"Bye babe.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
