Dropped Calls

Dropped Calls will ring like a lost phone and have you scrambling to pick up the call. Should water, food, and even the air we breathe become threatened? Providence assembles at the bugler’s call. When democracy is under threat from our collective complacency, these words shall find meaning in the screaming echoes of two centuries past “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”.

In this work of fiction, the resonance of truth should challenge the reader’s sagacity so that each person becomes the keystone to the solution. Just like Siddhartha, to read it once is a revelation, and immersed deep in its pages, understanding and enlightenment may develop.

Perhaps some of the people and places in this book are familiar to you. Imagine the events that unfold happening to your loved ones, in your backyard, or on your watch. Prudence necessitates reading Dropped Calls as an act of prevention and a pathway to compassion.

Dark Dragon

Against nearly impossible odds, Sigrun managed to lead the fairies of the Northwoods off the battlefield victoriously, and the villagers eagerly welcome peaceful times. They easily sink back into their old routines, but Sigrun cannot. Darkness creeps around her and without reason, she becomes increasingly edgy and violent. Afraid of herself, and what she might do to anyone around her, she isolates herself and refuses to see even her closest friends. She is plagued by intense visions of a foreboding cave within a treacherous mountain range, and it becomes clear a force is pulling her there.

Without a word, she disappears from the village in search of this cave. The journey is not without its challenges. The very land that she is treading on is evil and working against her in ways she could have never imagined. Even though everything she faces pushes her back – she knows she must continue.

It does not take long before Jae and Khalon realize Sigrun has fled the village. Knowing she has not been herself; they immediately depart after her. Facing hardships of their own they begin to wonder whether they will find her in time, or if she wants to be found at all. Evil snakes its way around her, lying to her and manipulating her, and leaches the power of the dragon for itself. All the while Sigrun is pushed further into a dark abyss. The Sigrun that they know, and love, may be lost to them forever.

A Traitor's Heart

“…does he know who I am?”

“He knows nothing of you, my lord. He believes my cousin, Master Chuonn, is the head of the snake about to strike.” The assassin laughed without mirth. “But in truth, we are just its eyes.”

“And its fangs,” the cloaked figure added.

“Yes, and its fangs,” he agreed before bowing. Without another word, the shadowed assassin disappeared back into the blackness from whence he came.

The cloaked figure remained for another ten minutes, then he too turned and vanished from the Emerileen Forest.
