World of Shawn

About World of Shawn:

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World. The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World! — “Your Hero” (Book Excerpt) I watch you from afar, You don’t know who I am, But I care for you, And would die to defend you. You are my Princess, And I am here to save you. I am Always, Your Hero — “The One” (Bonus Material) When no one else is around, you are the one who listens. When all is darkness, you are the one who turns on the lights. When the evil in this world seems to have overcome the good and all that was once true is utterly gone, You are the one who keeps me going just one more day. You are the one that holds back the tide. You are the One. — These are songs that helped me in the development of “World of Shawn” and songs that help recall scenes and elements from Shawn’s World, in chronological order. These would also be awesome for a WoS movie soundtrack, if a movie was ever produced! More will be added as I recall them: 1. Live For The Night – Krewella 2. Surrounded – BT+Aqualung 3. Atmosphere – Kaskade 4. Another Night Another Dream – La Bouche 5. Wake Me Up – Avicii+Aloe Blacc 6. Creep – Radiohead 7. Tidal Wave – Sub Focus+Alpines 8.

Ferryl Shayde – Book 2 – A Student Body

About Ferryl Shayde – Book 2 – A Student Body:

When fifteen-year-old Abel discovered Ferryl Shayde, the disembodied sorceress, and freed her from her 200 years trapped in a pit, he never bargained on finding out about magic. Though when she moved into his tattoo and began the lessons, it all seemed like a lot of fun for him and his friends. They even added just a little magic to the board game Abel and his two best friends were developing. But magic is everywhere and a hint is enough to lead some people into casting their first glyph.

A growing number of beta players, fellow students testing the game, are discovering their own magic, leaving Abel and his friends scrambling to teach them enough to stay safe. As more and more entities look closer at Brinsford, Abel’s village, he and his friends desperately try to learn enough magic to protect themselves and their families. That would be much easier without homework and parents interfering.

The sorcerers, magical creatures and vicar Creepio Mysterio all seem interested in whatever powerful creature or artifact lies at the heart of Castle House, a big, spooky old house wreathed in powerful magical protection. Abel and his friends are the only ones who can pass through the magical barrier around Castle House gardens.

But what will they risk to get inside Castle House itself?

The Main Dish by Victoria Kimble

The Main Dish by Victoria Kimble

16-year-old Scarlet Williams enjoys the attention that comes with being a violin prodigy. She auditions for a chair in the Summerset Festival Orchestra, the well-attended local event in her hometown. She is the youngest person to ever get a chair in the orchestra. She blasts the news on social media and enjoys the attention that Finn O’Neal gives her about it.

Then her sister Sadie gets cast in Young Gourmet, a nationally televised cooking competition for kids. Scarlet’s parents tell her that the whole family will be going to L.A. for the taping of the show. This means that they could possibly be there for the whole summer, which means that Scarlet will have to give up her spot in the Summerset Festival. Scarlet has to suffer the humiliation of telling everyone that she won’t be in the orchestra after all.

Scarlet had decided being in L.A. for the summer might be fun, but it turns out it’s NOT. Things perk up when Scarlet and her dad go to the TV studio to tape a Family episode. Scarlet meets Isaac, a cute 18-year-old who works as a server on the show. When Sadie wins, Isaac immediately stops flirting with Scarlet and just asks if he can meet her. Scarlet gets her first glimpse at what it’s like to be eclipsed by Sadie and doesn’t like it.

The Williams family gets back to Snowberry, and they are not allowed to talk about the show. Scarlet reconnects with her friends, and the conductor of the Summerset Orchestra, who asks her to be his assistant for the Festival. Scarlet agrees so she can be a part of things. She asks the conductor if she could still play. The conductor says no, and Scarlet is humiliated. She pretends to be sick on the night of the concert so she doesn’t have to go.

Just as Scarlet is beginning to settle into the high school routine, Young Gourmet begins to air. Scarlet invites Jillian, Levi, Finn, and Melody over for her family’s big premier party. The show continues to air, and the Williams host a weekly viewing party. Scarlet worries about the attention her sister gets from her friends, so she creates a secret blog that exposes the secrets of the show and implies that Sadie’s win was rigged.

The blog spreads like wildfire, and Scarlet finally feels like the center of attention. At the semi-final viewing party, Sadie realizes that Scarlet has been sharing secrets from the show. She throws a big fit in front of everyone, embarrassing the entire Williams family. Scarlet’s parents confront her in front of everyone. Scarlet is forced to admit that she wrote the blog. Everyone leaves, and Mom tells Scarlet that she just should have been happy for her sister, because Sadie has always been happy for her. Scarlet asks if Sadie is going to lose out on her prize money. She says she’s sorry, and Mom asks Scarlet what she’s going to do to make it right.

Scarlet tries to hide out in her bedroom all weekend, but Mom keeps making her come out to do chores. Sadie avoids her and refuses to cook. Scarlet is truly sorry and apologizes to Sadie. Sadie says she forgives her, but things aren’t the same. Dad says he talked to one of the producers, and since Scarlet didn’t spoil the ending, they aren’t going to press charges.

Scarlet spends the whole day at school avoiding everyone. She had gone to the orchestra room after school to work on some of the music for the school musical with the Music Teacher. She tried to stay as late as she could, so that everyone would be gone. When she gets to her locker, she finds Jillian, Levi, Melody and Finn all waiting for her. Scarlet apologizes for what she did, and says that she was afraid she wasn’t going to be noticed anymore, even though she knows that’s not an excuse. They say they forgive her, and they apologize for making her feel unseen.

The friends decide to do what they can to make the last show for Sadie unforgettable. They plan a huge Finale Party. Scarlet is surprised to realize she feels nothing but pride for her sister. She’s not even a little bit jealous.
