The Adventures of a Renegade Dreamer
How long can you fiddle with something WONDERFUL before you take it to the next level?
Rated:
E
by
Avg Rating: (4)


This is a journal to track my dreams, goals, the paths and pains of an aspiring writer who has decided that keeping it locked inside or on my shelf doesn't do too much good for others. I realize the market is competitive. I realize that I'm asking - determined- to be an exception to the statistics. But I believe in my work. I believe I have something of value to offer other readers. I have paid my dues and I realize that more will come as I step out of the crowd. I am willing to take that risk and pay that price. I am not so vain or foolish as to think I will or even can walk this road alone, especially if I am to succeed. No one succeeds alone. I am constantly helped and I am grateful for that aid. Together with the people who believe in me, I am determined to bring to the world something special and beautiful, yet thought provoking. This is my Dream.

Hall of Secrets 
A family secret will destroy them all unless Diana & Jer learn just what they're guarding
by Renegade


The Dragon's City
Sequel to Hall of Secrets
For Cat, gaining ultimate power is only the beginning.

After years of abuse, Cat swore he’d never again cower to a bully, devoting his life to training in magic and fighting. He kept to the dark paths of thievery and violence, protecting the few he deemed innocent but knowing his hands were too stained to be like them. Then a magical explosion gifts him with undreamt of power… but, he soon learns there is always someone stronger and sometimes the most important battles can’t be won by power. Unfortunately, it may cost the lives of those most dear to him, as well as what he truly wants.
in planning stages


First Draft in process - 15k

Reality Crash
What happens when sheltered innocence is kidnapped by reality?

Life Jumper
He played by no one's rules but his own. He worked for the highest bidder by day and backmailed them by night. Now he'll risk it all and cross dimensions to save his enemy's wife.
Target Project for NaNoWriMo 2009

The Worst Mistake in Time
The entire crew agrees that it is the stupidest, craziest plan to save the world from global warming – not to mention the dumbest use of a time machine prototype. The only person who wants to go is the last minute stowaway desperate to “return to the farm”. However, one of them is willing to kill the rest and rewrite history in order to become a hero.
Novella? Not sure size - keeps growing as I think about it.
