| writer's handbook 2018: Handbook for Mortals Lani Sarem, 2017-08-15 Zade Holder has always been a free-spirited young woman, from a long dynasty of tarot-card readers, fortunetellers, and practitioners of magick. Growing up in a small town and never quite fitting in, Zade is determined to forge her own path. She leaves her home in Tennessee to break free from her overprotective mother Dela, the local resident spellcaster and fortuneteller. Zade travels to Las Vegas and uses supernatural powers to become part of a premiere magic show led by the infamous magician Charles Spellman. Zade fits right in with his troupe of artists and misfits. After all, when everyone is slightly eccentric, appearing 'normal' is much less important. Behind the scenes of this multimillion-dollar production, Zade finds herself caught in a love triangle with Mac, the show's good-looking but rough-around-the-edges technical director and Jackson, the tall, dark, handsome and charming bandleader. Zade's secrets and the struggle to choose between Mac or Jackson creates reckless tension during the grand finale of the show. Using Chaos magick, which is known for being unpredictable, she tests her abilities as a spellcaster farther than she's ever tried and finds herself at death's door. Her fate is left in the hands of a mortal who does not believe in a world of real magick, a fortuneteller who knew one day Zade would put herself in danger and a dagger with mystical powers--Amazon.com |

| writer's handbook 2018: Hidden From Our Eyes James Fisher, 2019-10-18 Not long after the year 1000 A.D. a minor change in the history of the world occurs. By the year 1976, the world is drastically different from our own timeline, especially North America (or should we say Vinlandia?), now securely under the rule of various nations of the original indigenous population. This alternate world, just as real as the world of Tom-a student pilot from Virginia Beach-is unknown to him but exists right under his nose on the same earth on which he treads. Unknown, that is, until he steps through the stone archway... Tom enters a world where America was never founded and the only Europeans that inhabit North America, now called Vinlandia, are a few Vikings and a Christian priest or two. The English language he knows is spoken by no one. For reasons he can't explain, the technology is 100 years behind, even though he didn't go back in time. But Tom must learn to adapt to the ways of the Vinlandians and earn their trust. From his debacle as a misfit nearly hanged for espionage to his acclaim as the decorated hero from Nowhere, Tom's new life sends him on an adventure that his friends and family back home could only dream of.

Will he ever get home? Most importantly-would he go back if he could? |
