Bio
Ever since discovering Roald Dahl, I wanted to be an author who would delight and move her readers through her stories. I also wrote my debut novel, "Of Demons and Deception" on Amazon.

The Show is Ending
This pilot starts with cartoon characters. Our main protagonist, Gina Beckett, is a quiet office worker who is very tired, both of her lonely home life and her fellow office workers, who think that quality comedy only consists of farts and gross-out humor. She is so tired that she barely notices everything breaking down around her, or the slight tremors she feels underneath her feet. Then one day, the worker sitting next to her computer, Angelo Samaras, takes one of his shoes off and shoves his foot in her face, asking her if it smells bad. The smell instantly knocks her out and gives her an out-of-body experience.

A Day in the '50s
The harsh ring of our alarm clock, set to 6:15 am, is what wakes me up today. My husband wakes up too, though he roughly flips over to his stomach to stop the ringing by smacking the button on the clock. When he doesn't move further, I know that this is one of those days where he decides to sleep in a little more. Which is fine, the alarm clock is mainly for me anyway.

Against the Wind
Arthur grunted while he wiped away the leaf that flew into his face as he kept walking. He sighed as he looked up at the sky, which was getting darker by the second. The sun was still shining in some places but Arthur knew that it wouldn’t be long until all remnants of light disappeared. It was going to storm, and judging by how the wind was steadily picking up, it was going to be a bad one.

The Talking Mullosk
Hannah grinned as she looked at the ocean in front of her. The sun was bright, only a few white clouds decorated the blue sky, and the sand wasn’t scorching hot beneath her bare feet. The water had also been nice and refreshing. It really was the perfect beach day. Hannah was so glad that she managed to get work off today so she could come here with her friends.

Some Songs I Love
Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi: Not long after I got my driver’s license, I remember listening to this song on the radio on the way to school. This song always managed to put a smile on my face and filled me with energy and liveliness. It also has a good message about hope and perseverance. How can this song not be one of my favorites?

Gaining Trust
She couldn’t move. Nina had tripped into a pit and as a result, she broke her leg. The pit was deep as well as steep, so she couldn’t crawl out. Her friend, Kat, had been with her and had gone to get help since she wasn’t strong enough to get her out. With each passing minute, Nina found her anxiety and dread growing along with the pain.

Agron's Cave
The two elves had angrily ushered them in after that, saying that they would hear them out before making them leave. However, Haganto couldn’t find the words as the familiar elven guards glared at them. Haganto looked around the room, made to question any fortunate visitors before they were allowed to enter the rest of Malnora. The entrance ‘hall’ was just as sparsely decorated as he remembered it, and not unexpectedly, it was only the four of them in the room.

The Unkind Memories
Haganto tried to quickly decide what to do next. Alanus was all alone, and would surely die if Haganto didn’t save him. But how? It was hard enough to get to the front gate without getting distracted by the memories, but to also try to find someone in the mist? Haganto had never done that before, and he wasn’t even sure if it was possible. The field was big and he doubted the ghost lights would be kind enough to lead him straight to Alanus.
