Summary:

The legendary Violet Dagger, a mystical weapon of fearsome strength, has been uncovered. The only source to prevent its power from falling prey to the wielders of dark magic is the Mastery of Myth: a secret organization specializing in matters of the supernatural. Its Supervisor, Derrick Lord is determined to keep the Dagger out of harm's reach. But strange happenings within the organization and the discovery of an amnesic girl, who is unknowingly tied to the Dagger, will only jepordize his chances. If he fails, human civilization could come to an untimely and brutal end. I look forward to all constructive criticism!

Hi TNBW group! I've been working really hard at getting this story clean and tight, and I know that there is more I can do. I wrote this story this year, while I was faced with Breast Cancer. Surprisingly, it made me laugh at the things that my heroine went through and I got to thinking... if I can distract other cancer patient's for just a bit, I would. So as I'm in the process of changing/ editing and using all the wonderful feedback I've recieved, I'd like to one day publish this, and give the profit to either cancer research or to organizations that support the survivors of this awful illness. Thanks again everyone. Cate

Summary:

The Lost is a story about five people, four living on the fringe of society and one becoming involved in their lives. Support characters are as important as the main characters. It is told through a multiple limited third person point-of-view. Each "book" contains 5 "cycles", 25 chapters. The first "book" deals mainly with the individual stories of the characters and plot introduction. The second "book" deals with interactions and plot development. The third book deals with consequences and resolutions. I welcome positive comments and advice, but also areas of improvement. I have less objective distance from the project than you do, so if I don't know what isn't working from a reader's point of view, it is harder to fix.

Summary:

AMERICAN WOLF is a modern tale about the strange and troubled life of Jake Stanford, an unmotivated, cynical young man trying to make a life for himself in Chicago, while struggling to control his drinking and the tendency to occasionally change into a monster and eat people. Living hand to mouth and self medicating have gotten him by in the past, but recent events in his life have taken several turns for the worse and everything seems to be coming apart at the seams. Jake's meds that have allowed him to enjoy a modicum of control over his condition are starting to lose their efficacy, he's been accused of a murder he's not sure he didn't commit, and something is trying to kill him. Can Jake control himself and his other side in time to clear his name, or will he succumb to his own destructive nature and that of the shadowy assassin dogging his every move? A dark secret from his past may hold the key.

Summary:

In a modern era where magic is as real as technology, black magic is a more potent threat to civilization than terrorism or rogue nations. I'm interested in receiving advice on word choice, phrasing, story flow, plot decisions, and anything else the reader can think of that will improve the story.
