Hi! My name is Lea. I could ramble on about myself, but instead, I'm going to tell you about my current brainchild - Banestones. The idea for Banestones was born from a simple character introduction for a game (Legend of the Green Dragon). As I completed my character introduction for Pernara, I longed to tell her past. But what did she do? Where did she travel? On what epic adventures did she partake? So I started to think. Suddenly, it began to pour into my mind. She would find a young girl with unharnessed magical power, a former prostitute that had repented to the gods, and a Knight of her father's Order to travel with her. They would look for five large chunks of crystal, called the Banestones. They would battle a great enemy who commanded a great amount of magical power, who was also a shapeshifter. Thus, Banestones was born. I've had a lot of fun writing Banestones, though I've hardly embarked upon it at all. I hope you enjoy reading it just as much.
I'm also currently working on a short story suspense bit called "Close Your Eyes." It's loosely based on the Beatles' song "All My Loving." After reading a few great short suspense stories in AP English, I happened to sing the opening lyrics in my head: Close your eyes and I'll kiss you/ Tomorrow, I'll miss you/ And I'll send all my loving to you. In my head, they came out slowly, sort of creeping along, and I got the idea for this story. It's been rattling around in my brain for a while now, so I'm giving it a shot.
