The Compass of the Shadow’s Bane

Pirates. They are not gone for good like the world believed. They lurk in dark waters, taking control of ships, stealing the cargo, and killing the crew. A pirate ship, called the Shadow’s Bane, is well known for sending a piece of their crime back to its home. Sometimes it was a cherished belonging, or the ship’s wrecked remains, even a tortured survivor.

Clever 14-year-old, Marrielle Eidan, has experienced this firsthand when the merchant ship her brother was stationed on returned completely abandoned. Only her brother's jacket and a small compass were found aboard. The most ruthless pirates across the seas are in search of this very compass. Marielle has a decision to make. Does she keep the compass or hand over the only thing she has left of her brother?

Hello! My name is Giana. I live in the scorching desert of Tucson Arizona, but I dream of traveling the world when I’m older. I want to be able to share the good news about our Savior, Jesus Christ, with the world. I’m known as an introverted bookworm who would much rather bury myself in the comforts of soft blankets and good stories then venture outside the cave known as my bedroom. I love writing, reading, drawing, gardening, role play, daydreaming about new adventures, and making people laugh.

Have I mentioned I love writing? Because I do love it. Creating entire worlds and being able to share them with others makes the process so much fun. Writing is a way I can express myself, which is why I enjoy it so much. I can actually share the characters and stories that have only been real to myself, in my own mind. The thought that other people might enjoy the story I created makes me jump up and down with joy.

As a proud bookworm, I watch authors expertly address problems in our society. They are able to use their worlds to draw attention to those things, and I want to do that as well. I want to show people they are never alone, no matter how lonely they feel. Someone is always with you, even if you can’t see them. I want others to be encouraged by my stories, to feel empowered. I want them to know that with God, all things are possible. That is why I write.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” -Deuteronomy 31:6 (ESV)

Of course, I need to publish a few more books to get this message across, and that is the hard part… But I can’t wait to continue on my journey, and hopefully (if you want to) y'all can tag along with me. Wouldn’t that be fun?

“Gil! I need to make my noodles before lunch break is over!” Giana cried as she stood by the side of the very boy she spoke to, who currently was busy cooking coffee the old fashioned way and busy boiling water for that. “Look, I’m sorry Giana,” Gil replied, “but I can’t go without my coffee, I will pass out at my desk if I do! Coffee is an author’s life!” “No, noodles are, and I need mine!” Giana argued, shaking the box of noodles she held. “You already have the water boiling, please?” “No,...

Real Quick before I start... Whaddya think of my new logo? (UPDATES ON NEWSLETTER COMING, JOIN HERE IF YOU WANT TO READ SOME OF GILS FICTION AND GET A SERIES OF CRITIQUES ON SPECULATIVE FICTION AND CLASSIC LITERATURE) Twill be a moment before fully assembled, so expect a month or two before any of those promises materialize. Oy. Gil is busy and tired. Who knew that sheep actually could put you to sleep? Ours don't make great pillows though. They have hair, not wool... and what wool I have had...

Gil hummed as he danced into the feast room with his favorite mug, on which were the words ‘Character Tears’ with sobbing silhouettes scattering it. It had been gifted to him on ‘boss appreciation day’ by the others collectively— which was fitting being many here were part of the Authors Collective. He sighed as the song he’d had in mind ended and walked up to where the coffee station was. Or had been. There— WHAT?! How was there no— Gil’s eyes darted around for the suddenly vanished coffee...
