An Author Interview With Kelleen Rynin
(Beth Turnage) I recently took a writer’s workshop, Young Adult Novel Writing with Emily Colin at Authors Publish. One of the exercises was to write an interview with your character. Since I’m working on Master’s License, I chose 14-year-old Kelleen Rynin, the protagonist of the story, which was very...
Pirate’s Luck: Chapter 15~The Long Way to N’sen
The tank’s water shot shards of cold through Arekan as chilly as the deeps of space. With a shiver, Arekan realized this compartment had no shielding for the cold of the black, and if he didn’t drown first, he’d die of hypothermia. The only positive outcome of this disaster...
Pirate’s Luck: Chapter 14~The Dead Zone

The tub was not fit to sit in, let alone travel the black depths of space. In his short life,...

Pirate’s Luck: Chapter Eight~Twice Cursed
Pain accompanied every movement as Grokin pushed him up the ladder that led to the engine room. Arekan stared stupidly at the long cylinder of the null space displacement unit that ran through the center of the compartment. Except for a few class tours on his home ship, he’d...
Pirate’s Luck–Chapter Seven~Hooked
“You’re a damned idiot,” said a familiar voice. “Seven lashes were more than enough and you struck too deep. Now, he’s out of commission for at least a month. What use is he now, eh? I’ll be paying for his upkeep and getting no work out of him.” Arekan...
