Watch Story

We step through the old door into the library. The books on the shelves are well worn; some are dog-eared, though many show signs of possibly being read recently. There is a bit of dust on some of the shelves, while plump cats have taken up residence in a few of the empty nooks. One orange cat opens his eyes, stands, stretches, and follows us as we slowly walk among the shelves. We find ourselves wondering if anyone we know still visits the old library. We hope some do, but we've been away for a long time. Too long actually, but events, time, and health have kept us away far longer than we'd hoped. A short break turned into a few years of experiencing too many events that we'd rather not have.

We brush the fine cat fur off of a pair of slightly tattered chairs and sit to rest for a spell. Gazing around we wonder if anyone still takes the time to read anymore. The world is filled with so many diversions, so many novelties to siphon away the hours and days. Did the world long since leave this little library behind? I suppose were going to find out. There's dusting to be done, still empty shelve to be filled, and cats to wake from their long summer nap.

Apocalypse: Book 2 - Inferno By Brigit M. Morgan (X:WP, 273 Pages - Unfinished)
I actually just finished with this one yesterday and I'm sad about one thing. There does not appear to be a third book, which would finish out the story. However that being said, I did get some satisfaction from the third book and enjoyed the pacing immensely. It is an emotional read and very much in the character's heads. If you like that sort of thing then definitely give the first and second story in this series a go. If you just cannot live without a proper end that ties up the story line... give it a go anyway. The first two are still very good! - Kelly Aten - Sep-04-2016

Apocalypse: Book 1 - Nemesis By Brigit M. Morgan (X:WP, 114 Pages)
I read this first one and it gave me pause. It was harder than most because of the unique writing style but that was also some of why I liked it. The characters were unique, pained, and engaging to me. I liked how the author showed the constant machinations of Ares, as well as painted a good picture of what Gabrielle would have become post fin and without the other half of her soul. Well done! - Kelly Aten - Sep-04-2016

I read 'The Fletcher' and I was impressed. It was a sweet coming of age story, but it was very well written with enough of an imaginative story line to keep me interested.

Harpy's and HkdonXetG's alternative original sci-fi novel The Orion Spur: Family Business (239 pages).

For over two thousand years, Humankind had colonised the local area of the galaxy known as The Orion Spur. In that time, factions rose and fell. Some were conquered. Others were conquerors. One such faction, The Kalenth Hegemony, a rigidly oppressive regime, had become one of the dominant powers in the region.

Kikola ap Karthen, a young woman from an illustrious family of ruling elite, has been selected to lead the next great expansion and secure The Kalenth Hegemony as the only dominant power.

Initially unaware of the life planned out for her, Kikola meets Tehvay, a woman from the opposite end of The Hegemony's strict social order – a slave. However, Tehvay is no ordinary slave, and Kikola finds herself drawn to the outspoken and captivating woman. Love and duty come into conflict, and Kikola has to make a fateful choice – a choice that could have dire consequences for herself and Tehvay, and the very society she had sworn to serve.

Will Kikola risk everything – her position, her family, her destiny – for a chance at happiness and a life of her own choosing with the woman she loves?

After reading the other two Quill Bard's stories, I knew I had to give this one a try also. I'm so glad I did. Quill Bard has stayed true to the original Xena shows but has created an original plot that kept me turning the pages way too late. Quill Bard is clearly a very talented writer who developed this story with a great plot, believable characters, well written dialog and a virtual absence of grammatical or punctuation errors. I hope Quill Bard will be adding many more stories for all of us to enjoy. Read ajnd Enjoy. - LeV - Aug-15-2016
