Parchment of the Scroll Keeper

Chapter 15: Friends and Foes

2006-09-12T23:45:00.000-07:00

Yes! Let the heavenly choir sing! I am sooooo happy!

Chapter 15 is up!

No, you didn't miss a chapter. I've just gone through my novel and re-adjusted some of the chapters. (For instance: chapter 7: "Awakening" has become Chapters 7 & 8: "The Fascination of Ellie" & "Romance and Revelation".)

Ok, back to the current chapter. Yes, of course Ellie is still alive *rolls eyes*--and, yes, of course, she has to go and risk her life again. If only she--and her companions--knew what the Adon had in store for her...

It's a nightmare... literally. (No, I'm not talking horses.)

It was about a couple days before I got this chapter typed up, and I rather shocked myself when I realized what I had done to end the chapter. All I'm going to say is, Man, am I glad I already know what's going to happen next!

I'm so excited!!!!

So, yes, I will try to get the next chapter up faster in consideration of that horrible (horribly delightful) cliffhanger.

Enjoy!

Chapter Changes

2006-08-27T23:38:00.000-07:00

I apologize for taking so long in doing this. I've had some other things on my mind and on my plate. Basically, I forgot.

It's done. I have taken the first few scenes from Ch. 14 and made them part of Ch. 13--which makes Ch. 13 (Lovely in White) officially finished!

Ch. 14 is still going to be a while. Sorry. :( There's a lot I'm covering in this chapter (which I will be calling Friends & Foes).

At least there are a few more scenes for you to read!

Mix Up

2006-08-16T12:30:00.000-07:00

Writer's block has faded again! I'm almost finished with Ch. 14. I'm still not sure about the title though. I'm afraid I've divided chapters 13 & 14 improperly; so, I may be adding the beginning of Ch. 14 to Ch. 13, FYI.

If I do this, the title of Chapter 14 will most likely be Friend or Foe?

Trouble with Ch. 14

2006-08-08T22:26:00.000-07:00

I'm having some trouble with Chapter 14. I love how it's gone so far--but it's stopped too soon for me. It bothers me to have some chapters around twenty pages and this one only 6 pages. I know I've been aiming for "shorter" chapters--but not this short!

So, I'm thinking about it. Unfortunately, I can't decide on a title for the chapter either.

Sorry.

New Titles

2006-08-04T18:59:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the (not-so-new) Parchment of the Scroll Keeper.

I sincerely apologize for the inconveniences these changes will cause, but I had my reasons for changing from Legend Keeper to Scroll Keeper.

These changes also affect my forum (now called Scroll Keeper Sagas). Besides the title, I have changed the URL. (Not to worry! I have made the necessary changes to the link on this page.)

On a last note: I'm not very satisfied with "Parchment" of the Scroll Keeper. So, be aware that the title may be modified--again.

Thanks for your patience. I know I'm trying it. ;)

Chapter 13 is up

2006-07-23T13:58:00.000-07:00

Ok, I've been doing some back-track work on the novel, so I had to get the preceding chapters online first. Now, LR is up to date and the newest chapter (Ch. 13: Lovely in White) is online and ready for reading!

Click here for a direct link to Ch. 13. You will need to log-in to read it (or register if you have not done so). Thank you. Enjoy!

Lovely in White

2006-07-16T11:25:00.000-07:00

I apologize for the long wait; the duties of life really get in the way of my writing. The good news is: Chapter 13 of my novel (LR) has been finished! The bad news is: because of a tight schedule, I won't be able to get it online before the end of the week. Argh! Again, I apologize.

Chapter 13: Lovely in White--Things heat up as the elusive Adon takes a staggering offensive against the Shanahs.

Al tirah! (fear not!) I have already begun on Chapter 14, which I may call Friends & Foes. New characters arrive with dubious intentions. (Sadly, I won't have any time this week to work on it.)

Thank you for your patience. I'll get Chapter 13 up as soon as possible.

Updates for REAL?

2006-06-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

The first few chapter of *REAL?* are up on the LK forum. More to come soon. If you're on the ball and have read them all ready, please check back. I've made some corrections.

Thanks! Enjoy!

What's Up at the Forum

2006-06-11T11:38:00.000-07:00

I am working on getting my various stories ready for posting on the Tales of the Legend Keeper forum. My focus is my LR novel (of course) and REAL? a short story. So far, I have Part I (up to chapter 5) of LR. REAL? I am dividing into (tiny) chapters and posting chapter-by-chapter.

Once I get caught up with these two, I will either continue with other short stories or start on the Eden Series--or both.

Thanks to those who have joined and become my Readers!

Chaper 12 is up

2006-05-23T13:36:00.000-07:00

Chapter 12: Building Up and Tearing Down is now online! I'm also working on some of the special features pages for the series but am having some computer troubles.

Note: you can request a reader password by way of commenting on my blog.

Thanks. Enjoy!

Writer's block is over

2006-05-23T00:08:00.000-07:00

Writer's block has been defeated! Chapter 12 has (literally) just been finished! However, I'd like to give it a read-over before I post it. Look for it sometime this week.

Also, I found a discrepancy in a previous chapter. I'm working on fixing/manipulating it. I will inform my readers of any changes and where these changes may occur.

Thanks again to my loyal readers! I hope you have as much fun reading my stories as I do writing them.

Novel Re-Construction

2006-05-03T17:00:00.000-07:00

Sorry, no update yet. However, I see one in the near future.

Currently, I'm re-editing my material, working on the latest chapter, and re-formatting the whole document. I'm quite pleased with the re-formatting. It was mostly header/footer work, but I've divided and renamed some chapters--so, whereas I was working on Ch. 11, I'm now working on Ch. 12! It's still the same chapter though.

I'm also working on a pen name. Still can't find a non de plume to my liking. I may just use my (full) first name (for a first name).

I'm hoping the current chapter won't take me much longer. Part of the hold-up is I started putting my timeline into an EXCEL worksheet--and I like it so much I'm finishing it too.
For the whole series except the final novel, the timeline is up to 102 years. Whew!

My next post should be a update for my novel!

Working on it

2006-04-25T21:27:00.000-07:00

Life has been getting in the way of my obsession again. Still, I managed to up my novel's word count 1,000+! Having some issues with plot and with my half-Hebrew language.

Still working on Chapter 11: Building Up and Tearing Down. It's going to be on the long side, and with everything that's going on right now (the good, the bad, the...uh...) it may take me some time to get it online. Fear not! You can be sure I'll announce it!

General Intro to my Fiction

2006-04-17T13:17:00.000-07:00

First and foremost, there is my The Legend of Ruach saga. There are five volumes total although I may cut one out. I'm over half-way done with vol 1: Beyond Our Understanding. The Legend of Ruach is an other-world fantasy that focuses on a group of young people chosen, assembled, and summoned by Providence to the fantastical world of Aretz HaRuach (Ruach for short) to protect it. But that is not all. Perhaps the last lines of the Introduction say it best:

Those who are summoned to Aretz HaRuach are given the title Shanah. A Shanah's
mission? Conquer self, achieve unity with other Shanahs, and transform his inner
being to what it should have been... In the Beginning.

In volume one, the Shanahs are assembled and--whether they like it or not--fall into a routine of "fighting the bad guys". That is, until the ancient, mysterious Avi summons them for a mission in England--where they meet a strange (and perhaps disturbed) but beautiful young woman who changes the course of all their lives...forever.

I've been told that this novel is somewhat too deep to undertand--with all the secrets, mystery, etc. If you don't read too quickly (or if you check back in previous chapters sometimes), you should get some ideas. Otherwise, I may just not want you to know yet. :D

I'm really excited about the next volume of this series: Vengeance is Mine. It's about a girl who has everything in life, but, despite how much she loved her brother, she tended to either neglect him or tease him for shying away from the attention of the public. Not until she witnesses his brutal death does she realized the strength of her love...and the power of hate and revenge.

Unwillingly teamed with the Shanahs, Evelyn Thornwood, debutante of one of America's richest families, seeks to avenge her brother's death--killing whoever crosses her. Can the Shanahs bring justice for the Thornwood's mild-mannered heir? Can they reverse the vengeful madness over Evelyn before she herself is killed? Oo! This is my favorite volume of the five!

The other volumes are as follows:

Vol 3: The Future, Their Blood (When the grandchildren of the Shanahs become Shanahs themselves, they realize their grandparents' bedtime tales weren't just tales.)

Vol. 4: Amongst Our Own (Taking place shortly after vol. 3, this story tells of a group of Shanahs whose mission is to protect the human world. This is the one I may cut out.)

Vol. 5: The Time is at Hand (About one hundred years after vol. 1: Every thousand years, Ruach dies and is reborn. Can the Shanahs of that time live through the ordeal?)

The Eden Series takes place in another galaxy, similar to our own. In vol 1: Eden's Heart, Lytra's Blessing, Cameron West, a brilliant, young astronaut, survives the crash of the space shuttle--only to find himself lost and destitute on an unfamiliar planet. When he is rescued by two do-gooders of galactic renown, Samson and Nekoda, he becomes involved in a vortex of crimes which the two are investigating--and all the threads seem to tie together. A crime king; a rebellious "princess"; a blood-thirsty, seductive assassin; a murdered duke--and his wife fleeing for her life & the protection of his miraculous formula: Eden's Heart.

In vol 2: Eden's Soul, Korah's Curse, a planet is harrassed by savage beasts--the more light reflected from the moon, the more vicious the attack. The superstitious people become convinced they are under a curse of werewolves.

Asher, now a young man, goes to Earth to find Moriah West, who is their only hope for the tie to the curse: Eden Korah. Can Moriah, fresh out of high school, face her destiny? Will Eden's body perish in the attempt to free her soul?

Vol 3: Eden's Might: Celanim's Independence. It's Independence Day--and there will be fireworks. The kind designed to kill. The people of Celanim refuse to be under the foot of the galatic system: "Accept us as equals or we shall reject your authority!" Can little Celanim defend itself against the other planets of the galaxy? Even if some of the galactic royalty are on their side? Will the war tear the galaxy apart?

I have recently hatched new ideas for an extraneous Eden series--which I may call the Edenarri Series (Edenarri is the name of the storys' galaxy). The Lady of the Flame (title may change) is about a young Edenarrian aristocrat, Ashyra Kingsley, who witnesses tragic death of her family by a fire. When she comes to suspect the fire was not an accident, she joins a covert operation to get to the truth. Before she solves the mystery of her famly's death, her incognito-agent jobs become famous, and people--good and bad--wonder...who is this "Ashes" who avenges with the flame?

Aside from my novel series, I have some short stories: REAL? was originally a whimsical rant toward myself because I daydream too much--but people like it! *happy* Anyway, it's about a girl who daydreamed one too many times and finds she can't get out--and this dream, while beautiful on the face, is not all knight-in-shining-armor-rescues-damsel-in-distress. Can Liv discern the reality from the dream? The light from the darkness?

Angels from a Train is a romantic comedy about three, young, city girls who come to live and work at a boarding school for girls in a rather old-fashioned town--and find love around the corner.

That's all the summarizing I'll do for now, since these are the stories I'm working on even remotely. Currently, I'm focusing on LR 1 until I get it finished. It's my goal to write and finish a novel. I got bored of short stories.

To see my previous updates for LR, see Talent on Loan.
