A Preview of Pelegra, first two chapters

I finally got my website up and runing, well for the most part. It is still a work in progress. It does contain a link to chapter one of Pelegra and the Son of Merek. I’ll be updating semi frequently. Oh, the link,

My own domain

Well, I am making progress on my website. It’s not up yet but it’s coming along nicely and I’m learning how to create flash elements as I go, which is why it’s taking me so long. I’m very glad that it’s a long weekend. I’m hoping to have my homepage up by this evening. Everything else that I have planned for it will be slow in coming, but at least I will have something up. Keep checking back for updates!

Elion…

Elion….

Elion is one of the supporting characters in my book. I know what her role is and where her she ends up but I was having a lot of problems beginning her journey. Today I finally made some progress with that and have wrapped my mind around her character and voice. An excerpt from The Pelegra Chronicles: The Son of Merek.


“She’s been studying since she returned from the

counsel.” He simply smiled but said nothing. A girl appeared in the doorway. She had delicately tapered ears, large dark eyes, and waist length black hair which fell in loose waves. Eldrad smiled,

“Elion, this is Aiden.” She studied him a moment,

“Hi.” She then slipped into the seat on the other side of her father. Jules joined them placing one last steaming bowl onto the table.

“Well, dig in everyone!” The only sound was the clinking of dishes as everyone filled their plates. Aiden cautiously selected items; he had no idea what most of it was, but figured if it smelled good then it would taste good, at least he hoped so. There were vegetable mashes, a creamy soup, chunks of meat smothered in a spicy red sauce, and a crisp vegetable salad. Everything tasted delicious.

More to come………………

Hate the gas prices….

Knowledge Publications

So, me being well me have decided to take matters into my own hands. I commute one hour to work and one hour from work. My car (when it’s running) gets about 17mph. So I go through a ridiculouse amount of gas, but I really, really like my job and my employers and coworkers so it’s worth the drive to me. Thus I have been spending my time researching alternative fuels, boosters, anything and everything that could possibly help me lower my gas costs AND help the environment. I found this great website that I wanted to share with you all.

I ordered one of the dvd’s and already have another one picked out to order. I think that they have valuable information. Also part of the video I ordered is up on youtube so I already know that it’s incredibly informative and is not a rip off. I’m looking forward to learning more and forging my own way (well sort of). I encourage everyone to do the same because we all know the government is not doing a darn thing to help us out.
