The Whispers of Songbirds

I have always been a listener. It is necessary in order to transcribe the beauty of nature and the wonders of life into poetry and song. It's a skill that has always come easily to me, but it has become so much more difficult since his death. I've yet to decide upon the cause, whether I've lost the will to listen, or that all I can hear is those last whispered words. "You won't miss me. A few days and you'll find something new to occupy your attention." Not a day goes by that I don't regret leaving. The sounds of the city streets echo through my heart like the clang of funeral bells. And I can't help but wonder where I was while he was dy

The Wishing Bear

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" The shouts echoed along the hall, waking the old woman from a drowse. My goodness, she thought. Whether for the shouts or for finding her head nodded to her chest, she wasn't sure. In any case, she rose to see what the ruckus was about. The shouts that woke her had been replaced by the sounds of stomping and sobbing. She shuffled to the corner and peered into the neighboring waiting area, where she spotted a little girl vigorously stomping on a small teddy bear! My goodness! She thought again, this time certain of the cause. As she shuffled closer, the girl picked up the bear and tried to pull it apart

Away from the Light

"Why didn't you move?" The words echoed through my head as I tried to blink away gray, like coming out of a fog. I realized I was walking along a path through a wood. There were others with me, sweeping me along, not swiftly but steadily. Most of them walked in silence, but the man next to me was talking again. "You just stood there! Why didn't you move out of the way?" He was leaning forward to look into my face, gripping my upper arm. No, it wasn't the crowd that swept me along, it was him. "Excuse me?" was my adroit reply. I was trying to think where I was and how I got there. My memory was still veiled by that fog. "The truck! Why di

Never Hit a Lady

"Five minutes, Lana!" "Yeah, yeah. Keep your shirt on!" Lana turned back to her mirror to finish adjusting her costume. "You're a doll, Lana," she said to her reflection. "The fellas are gonna love this get up." Tonight was the debut of her Lady is a Tramp routine, and she had done up the costume herself. Sexier than the sequined number by a mile! Who knew that a dame in a guy's undershirt could be such a vamp! It still needed something, but Lana couldn't put her finger on what. "Lookin' real swank, Lana. Hope ya didn't get all dolled up for me." She jumped and whirled toward the voice. The large figure framed in the doorway wore a trenc

Band of Brothers

"We're your bodyguards." "What?" "We're your bodyguards!" I repeated, presenting my most winning smile. "Agent Noriega sent us." The man that we knew only as Joe Doe just stood there for a moment. He was looking me up and down with his face scrunched like he had been sucking on lemons. His sweeping gaze fixed at a point above my head. I checked to see if my hat was on straight. It was. "You're a band," Mr. Doe said, his face still puckered. Those must have been strong lemons. "Yes! We're the Band of Brothers!" my smile widened. "No, you're a marching band!" "Oh! Yes, that's our cover! See, no one would suspect a marching band as bodygu

Hey! X3 I wanted to introduce myself as Olivia Giangrande. I am sorry to bother you.. I hope I'm not. But I came here to ask if you were interested in purchasing a copy of my self-published book The Druid and the Wolf?

It's an animal book. There are wolves, dragons, humans, and sorcery and magic. It's an epic action adventure story.

Story Summary: "Long ago, shrouded by the mists of the Dark Age, there lived a clan of druid humans in Ancient Britannia. They practiced their magic and worshiped nature and God in peace. They resided in a province, or Kingdom, called Aerulis and the kings and queens rarely bothered them. The physicians of the druid clan often times had very spiritual connections with God, more so than the rest of the clan, and one day Tairek (the sole physician of the clan at the time of this story) receives a prophecy that foretells of a great white wolf with eyes the color green that will save the druid clan. They are confused because they have never been threatened by anyone or anything, at least not enough to do a remarkable amount of damage. Not long after, a patrol finds a white wolf pup and the clan raises her on goat's milk. One year passes, and everything seems peaceful still until a fire set by the King of Aerulis' soldiers ravages their camp. The whole druid clan is rounded up and for mysterious, unexplained reasons sentenced to death. The white wolf (who is discovered to be part dog) also known as Sascha is able to talk with Tairek using his spiritual connection and he tells her that she must save them, by learning how to fight in an elsewhere place. And with that, starts Sascha's journey to save the druid clan... to save her family."

My page was originally intended to focus on the Lunatic Fringe comic series and and eventually turned into a page devoted to my pencil drawn portraits, as I waited for the book to move forward, which it has. We are now in the process of finishing the first issue which will be submitted to an excellent publisher we have been working with for final approval. I would love some feedback on the story-line, characters, or anything else that strikes your fancy!

Thanks much!

Thank you for accepting my submission! I saw too late I submitted it twice, though. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused!
