@Daeus *emerges from dark library blowing dust from her hair and wiping her hands* I’m sorry, I’ve been horribly remiss in keeping up with things.
I love ‘When fate seeks to destroy you, where can you turn?’ Like, really really love it. Lovely. Go for it.

Addy never left the hospital again.
Theresa stood in her attic, staring at the unfinished picture of Addy. When she closed her eyes, she could still see the inscription on the gravestone: ‘Adaline Lewis, 2009-2017. Rest in peace.” She was struck by the emptiness of her painting, like Addy was standing alone in a field of white. Suddenly, she…[Read more]

Theresa sat in her attic one pale winter’s evening. She was painting Addy, the way she imagined she’d be if she wasn’t sick. She painted her with bouncing blonde curls and freckled cheeks. Not the way she was now, with her hair that fell out more and more each day, and her hollow, sunken cheeks. The words ‘cancer,’ and ‘chemotherapy’ had been whis…[Read more]

studying the trap door in the ceiling. It took her a moment to realize what was so strange about it. Grandma didn’t have an attic.
Theresa smiled.
There was a cord hanging from it, but it was short and Theresa had to climb on a chair to reach it. But when she pulled it, and the stairs folded down, she knew she had found the attic a…[Read more] -

“Theresa!” Mom’s voice came from downstairs. She sounded worried. “Theresa, where are you?”
“Mom, Mom!” Theresa ran down the attic stairs, more excited than she had ever been in her whole life. “Mom, guess what I found in the attic!” she cried as she ran into the living room.
Mom was holding Addy, the youngest sister, who had fallen asleep on…[Read more] -

Daeus replied to the topic Possible Book Title in the forum Fantasy 9 years, 1 month ago
@warrioroftherealm I think it sounds fine, though it is a tiny bit rough. Fyi, I think the first two sound like high-action novels with warrior monks and lots of gut punching. The third one sounds more like a high fantasy to me. Something a little quieter, but that has really good world building. Like I said before though, the cover will affect…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm One or three. I probably like three better, but I think it largely depends on what cover design you go with.
