《Adopted by McQueen (humanized) Book One》Chapter 5
Advertisement
The next morning, they got in the truck and continued on their journey. Chloe was sleeping in McQueen's arms lap while Mack was driving.
Mack looked over at her, "Kiddo looks pretty tired."
"She is." McQueen replied rubbing her head, "I don't think that foster care treated her well."
"What makes you say that?" Mack questioned.
"She had a nightmare last night." He answered.
"Everyone gets nightmares, McQueen." Mack chuckled.
"But these are different." He explained, "It looks like that they've been haunting her."
"How do you know?" Mack asked.
"I woke up to her screaming my name." He stopped to move her hair so he could see her peaceful face, "She looked so. . .frightened. It took my 10 minutes to wake her up. It was like she was locked inside her mind."
"I'd keep a close eye on her." Mack said.
"I am." Lightning replied rubbing her head, "I love her."
"I know you do McQueen; that's why you adopted her." Mack answered.
"But the weirdest thing happened when I told Mrs Nelson I wanted to adopt her."
"What do you mean?" Mack asked.
"She tried to make me change my mind." He answered, "Like she tried to tell me that Chloe wasn't worth it."
"That's odd." Mack replied, "She's such a sweet kid."
"That's what I'm confused about." McQueen replied.
Mack parked the truck at the gas station.
"Alright I'm gonna fill up the gas tank and get a few things." He said and got out.
Chloe started crying, "No. . .stop please!"
Lightning realized her nightmare was back. He held her close.
"Stop it hurts!" She cried, "I didn't do anything!"
Her shook her, "Chloe! Wake up!"

She started to squirm and breathe faster. His heart was beating faster with fear.
"Chloe! It's okay!"
He picked her up and hugged her tightly, "You're okay. . .no one will hurt you."
Chloe calmed down and hugged him tightly. McQueen sighed in relief. She sat up and looked at him with tears flooding her face. His heart fell to his stomach.
"Chloe are you alright?" He asked.
She just clanged onto him tightly; not wanting to ever let go.
"You had me so worried." He said hugging her.
"I'm sorry Daddy." She spoke, "I had another nightmare."
"I'm just relieved that you're not hurt." He replied, "How about we stop out and get some fresh air?"
"Okay." She said shakily.
But little did they know something was bond to happen. . . .

Shamrock Samurai
How many shotgun blasts does it take to kill a Banshee? Sean’s a martial arts enthusiast who just discovered his Luck magic. Will his new powers be enough to combat the slew of celtic monsters that cropped up to terrorize his city? He’ll unload a whole barrel of Luck on these paranormal pests, cruising in his ‘69 Fastback, slaying shades after dark. You’ll ride shotgun with Sean as he battles Banshees, clashes with Leprechauns, strives against Vampires, and defends his own against Celtic Demigods. There’s plenty of magic sword fights, shots fired, car chases, fisticuffs, and portal hopping while adventuring between the Bay Area and the mythical realm of Irish legend, Tir na nOg! ------------------------------------------------ I'm happy to offer this COMPLETE SAGA (6 arcs) here PERMAFREE (never in Kindle Unlimited). Imagine the intense action of JOHN WICK + the swords-n-guns slaying of DEVIL MAY CRY, and that had a baby with CELTIC MYTHOLOGY and some PORTAL HOPPING, add a pinch of INUYASHA's horrific monsters, a smattering of YUYU HAKUSHO angst, and that's Shamrock Samurai.*Contains portal hopping as a major element in each arc, but this story IS NOT Isekai (nothing against it personally. Want to make sure you know what you're getting into). Enjoy, and good luck ☘️! ------------------------------------------------ Readers say... “This series is kind of wild.”_David Simpson, author of the Zombie Road series. “Loved the plot twists and the action.” “I found the concept of magic/luck to be original and refreshing... PLENTY of action.” “Cool blend of geek culture and Gaelic mythology in a modern paranormal setting.” “Hang on till the end. There’s a wild twist I didn’t see coming.”

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!

The Qi to Immortality
The Golden Rule of transmigration into a xianxia world is not to get involved in the affairs of important characters. Death follows them, bearing down on the ordinary people they interact with. For months Zhao Mi has managed to abide by this self imposed rule, making a living as an Assistant Admissions Disciple for the Misty Cradle Sect. When a misstep with a young master places him in the sights of a heartless clan intent on saving face, the only viable solution is to invert the Golden Rule. To surround himself with enough important characters that their fortune bleeds into Zhao Mi’s humble life. Walking such a path will require surviving violence, navigating politics, and unraveling conspiracies. The otherworldly knowledge he possesses might give Zhao Mi a chance at emerging unharmed. Whether his modern soul can weather the immorality of life in Jianghu is another matter.
