I have just posted the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. You can find it here. I also realize how some readers only like to read complete novels, and here it is from the beginning. For those who have not read it, I have a brief discussion of major characters and my motivations as an author. Imagine a world where the sun never shines and there is a constant threat of death. Dark Earth: The Prophecy is my first completed novel, and I loved exploring this world and bringing it to life. Julian, the main character in the story, has extraordinary power, and he is only eighteen. His whole life has been shrouded in mystery to him, and he has no idea just how powerful he really is. Additionally, he has grown up without his mother, and his aunt and uncle have hidden a lot from him. As he discovers the truth about his past and his power, he struggles to accept who he really is. Cristobel has similar circumstances as his brother and his brother

I just finished the final chapter of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. I am quite happy about that. I have been working on it since October, and it has taken longer than I wanted it to. However, I think the extra time has allowed me to grow as an author, and that is certainly a good thing. Now I am back to Second Chances. It has been a while since I posted a chapter. My plan is to get several chapters ahead and start posting it again. The important thing is that I know where the story is going. As some might have noticed I said that I intend to only post chapters of future stories when they are finished or at least close to finished. I am still intending to have it that way for my next story. My plan, for right now, is to work on one story in between Second Chances and the second part of Dark Earth. My thought right now is that it will most likely be a murder/mystery vignette. However, I am apt to change my mind and either work on the second part of Dark Earth or a fantasy story I have already started writing. Regardless of what I decide, I do intend to write every day, even if it is just a paragraph or two. This is because I want to write more. I am slowly gaining more confidence and not feeling overwhelmed by the fear of not having a good ending. Endings are somewhat problematic for some, and I have a strange apprehension about it because of wanting it to be perfect. Regardless, that is slowly fading.

Well, my writing is now at a stand-still. How I forgot about this, I am unsure. I have been using the desktop to store all my stories. While I had been backing up stories on the laptop, I had not done so recently. Recently, there have been issues at home where the electricity does not work properly because of the crazy people who once lived there. Now I have to wait for Kansas City Power and Light to fix the electricity before I can write again. So yes, the idiot would be me.

Since there is only one poem this time, I figured I would post the link here. This one is called "The Tears of Solitude". Feel free to leave reviews, and as always, feel free to drop by the Impressions and Reflections topic. Feel free to critisize if you must! I like feedback, and that includes constructive criticism.

I have decided to begin releasing chapters of Dark Earth 2. The biggest change is the POV as I have decided to go with 3rd instead of 1st. While it can be risky, I think it is important. There's a lot going on, and it seems more suitable for the flow. For any of you have been waiting, I apologize. It took me a while to get back into it, and now the story will be told. I have also been thinking about combining this one and the planned third episode in the Dark Earth series. This one will be longer than the other, though the chapters are somewhat shorter. Chapter 1 starts about six months after the end of Dark Earth: The Prophecy. I've also got an idea floating in my head. It is likely to be a short story, and it will be very dark. The story is not of a sci-fi or fantasy title. It's more of a horror story. I've also got an idea for a story about a demon hunter on the horizon. It's going to be set in modern times (for the most part), but I have to work more on the plot before I start writing it.
