The Price of Ambition

Hello!! I know it's been awhile, but sickness gained control for awhile. With colds, laryngitis, walking pneumonia (don't ask), life has been hectic. Today however I'm doing something I haven't done before. What I'm sharing is an essay I recently wrote for my English class. We just studied tragic heroes in my class, and our …

The Crux Anthology Authors Donate Book Profits to Compassion International

Information from Rachael Ritchey about the anthology my short story (A Journey With Death) was published in under my pseudonym Briar Shea. 🙂

Rachael Ritchey

This post is overdue as it was promised for January! Sorry for the delay. Better late than never. And today’s my birthday, so even better!

The Crux Anthology has now been in print for about three months, and thanks to some generous book buyers the anthology was sold in ebook fifty times and in print another twenty due to presales in November through sales to the end of December 2018!

Between ebooks and print books sold during that time-frame, it equated to $83.00 (I rounded up to the nearest dollar) USD profit.

I’m a sucker (the best kind) for helping a worthy cause, which I think we can all agree that helping children in need is worthy, so I rounded the donation up to $100 for Compassion International’s Where Most Needed Fund.

This donation is completely due to the generosity of those who’ve bought the book and our fabulous authors!

Final moments

Credits to Promptuarium "Peanuts or Pretzels?" The Flight attendant asks as routine. Always the same. The answer will depend, sometime they don't want anything but they always give an answer. "Peanuts." "Pretzels." "Neither." "Please." and "Thank you." Whatever their decision may be, a sound will escape their lips with their opinions. In my 12 years …

Parallel you, Parallel me

Hello and welcome back to Fiction Fanaddict. Experiencing déjà vu? Probably because I'm struggling to come up with new unique openings to posts. Lark Hardy experienced déjà vu as well. She, however, experienced it truly because she was living a parallel life after she was "split in two" on her 17th birthday. Imagine yourself in …
