Brief Author Bio:

I wear a lot of hats. Literally and figuratively. =)

And join me in the Writing Groups and Clubs forum, wRunning wWrimos, if you plan to keep running throughout November. (I wear a baseball hat when I'm running, btw...)

Excerpt: Anisoptera

“Oh, easy,” Chyton said with some excitement. “Say, just in the instance of your case, that you were badly infected with The Hate, and you spread it to others. Then say they spread it to even more people and those people started a war on earth that escalated until your world exploded from all the violence, war and bombs. That might be the chain reaction of the you who wasn’t rescued by the Project Nymph team.”
________________________
“Now that we’ve rescued you, maybe you don’t have The Hate anymore, and will be immune to it forever more. You won’t spread it to others, so they never start a war. Then see? We’ve averted the original prophecy and it’s been replaced with a new one. A better one, where both of our worlds survive and we all get to enjoy the beautiful Peace.”
