Chapter One-The sun      Anna Park 1887 May 6 th             Though I was but nine years of age when my father announced our departure to the new dimension I still remember my astonishment. My mother cried for days in secret, concealing her sorrow as we all knew we must go. I myself could not hide the tear streaks upon my face and was punished for my lack of control. I write this, however, not for the record of that pain but for the memory of something beautiful. That is the sun. To my future posterity I would share with you the precious memory engrained in me that last day as we packed. The sun, warm, yellow, and bright seemed to be shining particularly strong that day as if it wished to encourage me. It truly seemed to say "be as strong as I" and as I passed through the portal, never to see that sun again, I instilled in my memory its encouraging message of warmth and light.    ...

 This is the start of my novel "The Lightless" Let me know what you think. =) (P.S I am going to post a it in chapters as I go, possibly every day but it might not be that often). Prologue             Warm heavy rain blurred the landscape. Abby pulled the collar of her raincoat up around her neck and drew up her knees to her chest. From the shelter of the large tree above her she could still see her destination. She checked her watch for the tenth time and pursed her lips.       "Better go" she said with a deep sigh. Despite all her courage coming this far she could feel her heart beating rapidly. She shook her head and chided herself mentally. Now was not the time to back down so she started to rise. Before she stood, however, she looked down at her hand. A small light blue ring twisted itself around her finger in a simple yet intricate way. She sighed again, shaking her head.  ...

 This is a teaser for the novel I am working on. My goal is to start posting chapters at the beginning of March. "The Lightless" Teaser                 Abby Park slipped the intricate ring from her finger and let it fall to the ground. She was three larges steps from the portal to earths dimension and her heart was pounding in her chest. Despite the king's orders and her ex's pleading she had made the decision to leave.   She had to find the other member of the ancient oath made long ago by their ancestors. And yet she hesitated. Breaking the law was harder than she thought it would be. She shifted her thoughts to her motivation and her brow furrowed. No one will care about breaking the law if everyone is dead. I have to save them. She smiled in spite of her nerves. "Off to save the world." She said with a hint of sarcasm. It sounded so cliché. Then she signed deeply and began to walk.  ...

Personal post. This happened yesterday and it made me so happy I decided to blog about it. Remember that in the coming weeks I will also be posting chapters from my novel. My goal is to start at the first of March. I'll keep you posted. ;) "Elizabeth can count to Flee!"                 Disclaimer; this is an 'online journal post' so if you have a problem with those, you have been warned.                 This morning I was giving Elizabeth her "baff" and while she was playing with her various foam letters and numbers she picked up a one.                 "A" she said with a big partly white smile.                 "That's a one sweetie" said smiling back.    ...
