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?

Megan smiled as she pinned up her latest snippet onto the board, unraveling the thin but lengthy paper to make sure the full text could be seen. It almost looked like a receipt, a receipt of torture! Megan laughed to herself with a scoffing breath and pulled a chair from the meeting table to the side of the board. She wasn’t just going to wait around for people to barge into her office, she wanted to see their faces! Faces get very twisty and distorted when they’re showing shock, or horror,...

“Nicole! Hurry!” Giana hissed, gesturing for the author to scurry into her office. Nicole glanced over. That wasn’t a good sign. Her eyes flicked down and up the halls. No Megan or Gil in sight— “Now!” Giana urged. Okay, no Megan or Gil that she could see. She rushed into the office and Giana shut the door behind her, locked it, and then Kylie shoved a chair under the handle. Kaitlin and Lorelai let out a breath from where they sat in what seemed to be a broken up circle in the back corner of...

Well hello peoples and friends. Tis I, Gil. That tired and mythical beast from days past who tarried far too long between this article and his last. I hope this is a treat for you... Despite said wait time I dragged yourselves through. Why a Smorgasbord you may ask? WELL. Today I have half a dozen things to speak to you about and... little time to do so... So without further ado... the first order of Business.(And yes, you should expect a giveaway to break my stream of thought) I WAS INVITED...
