After much thought and consideration, I decided to create a universe to place my first two stories in. Both "An Unforgettable Melody" and "A Bridge Between Worlds" are now in the official Brollyverse. I did not make this decision lightly, as I in no way claim ownership of the original concept of genie servants that Joe Brolly so eloquently brought to life in his "Genie Chronicles." I have nothing but tremendous respect for his writings, and owe much to him as an inspiration for my own works. While both his story and 800ibgorrila's story remain incomplete and thus cannot be added to the Brollyverse universe, I have nonetheless made this universe a public universe, as there will surely be other authors to come wanting to give their take on the concept Joe originally created. One can also hope that the creation of an official Brollyverse universe will bring Joe Brolly and 800ibgorrila out of retirement to finish their stories after all these years. A pipe-dream, to be sure, but one never knows...

I just posted the final version of "Just Go With It." I want to extend a special thanks to everyone who provided their thoughts and feedback; I really feel it helped me improve the story. I have added in some paragraphs giving Becky a more fleshed-out personality, as well as a backstory for more of a motivation for her. This I feel makes her more of a true second protagonist, rather than a major supporting character. There are also a few minor additions here and there. I hope you enjoy, and please let me know what you think!

I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and comments so far on my newest story; I really appreciate it. If you have not already, and are so inclined, please give it a read and let me know what you think. I'll be submitting it in a day or two into a contest of beach and summer stories on another website. So far, most readers have commented on a bit of a lack of tension in the story and needing a bit more development of the heroine's personality, which I'm beginning to formulate edits to right now. Any and all feedback is appreciated! Once the story has been edited and completed, I'll post the final version for your enjoyment. Thanks!

Just submitted my newest work last night, "UNCHARTED: Drake's Demise." It's a historical setting with some mystery and Sci-fi elements intertwined. Though it's a precursor to the video game "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," the reader needs no familiarity with the game series to understand and enjoy this story. As per usual, please let me know what you think of the story, all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

I just wanted to extend a thank you to everyone who read my most recent blog entry and felt the desire to comment. I received feedback from all ranges of the ideological spectrum, and I am very glad to know that my focus of "respect for all life" hit home with so many. There were a few trolls who decided to flame, calling me a racist and a bigot, but everyone needs a good laugh every once in a while. To answer everyone's first question, yes, these trolls DID in fact give their insightful feedback anonymously. Anyhow, thank you again for all the kind words.
