More on my Dad

Just received a call. Mum saying oh and BTW your father tried to sever his thumb the other day! Excuse me. How in the….? Never mind I don’t want to know. She told me anyway.

Apparently in his greed for firewood, he was cutting the pieces to length, using the band saw. Not being quick enough he cut the top of his thumb off. From halfway through the nail. Did not damage the bone. Silly old…so n so. Took himself to the local Hospital and as they don’t have the capacity to deal with something like that they popped him in an ambulance and sent him to town.

The major hospital was able to stop the bleeding and pop some stitches in. Now he’s complaining the bandage is too loose! Aah tighten it up Dad! District nursing will be around, will have to wait and see what feedback comes from there. How do you make an old man listen? You don’t! You bide your time and watch the consequences of people not listening to what you’ve pointed out for the past two years or more.

I told mum I give up! No one is listening, so just let him kill himself slowly.

Awake and moving.

As you are aware, I’ve been in a bit of slumber (self induced) and now I am awake. My scribe and her friends have been busy preparing my Character sketch and the tale of my ‘Awakening a Goddess.’ My scribe findbotr has opened my tale with quite the teaser and from there you will be able to follow my story through the links provide on my About me page.

Here in the Blog, only the first chapters of my tales will be published as stated in the About Me page. Why? You ask, we at the Legends of Mernac need readers, reviewers and of course writers. Not forgetting the need for artists and programmers. If you are perchance interested join LoM and contact me through a PM. I will then provide you with the relevant details that relate to your queries.

Devils brew

Got your attention did I not!

Just dropping in to say, I’m busy over in Legends of Mernac. Writing tales and catching up. Once everything is completed, then I will be trudging through blogs, meeting and greeting old and new friends alike.

You are more than welcome to join me on now as well. I am Promoting The Legends of Mernac, through as many avenues as I can. In all the blogs you start to find that I am placing Press Releases, Letters of Query, Interviews and articles that relate directly to the Legends of Mernac.

Of course I will stop by here and have a ramble on the occasion. As I am doing today. I will also drop off non Mernac writing. I get the urge to purge and here is the deposit box.

In an Age of Dark Fantasy…

The Faeries fear their civilization faces extinction. Their lush enchanted forests have become cities of death. And a Goddess has awakened from the terrors of her past, only to discover that the nightmares were real. So it is in the Land of Mernac.

Alas, her Sisters, no help are they. The other six Mothers are powerless to stop her descent into darkness. Thirteenth of the twenty to come to this land so long ago, her brothers of the Dark soon marked her as easy prey. Softly, irresistibly they call her, “Come into the darkness, be one with us.”

Canola, Goddess of Music and Dance, clings to the Light, yet is plagued by indecision. Her brother Abuba, Father of Indecision; does he confound her mind? Her brother Linthur, Father of Revenge; can he be persuaded to quell mankind’s petty struggles before the lands are drenched with blood. Can she count upon her brother Elsen, Father of Ethereal Elements, to let loose his disciples…quake, lightning, fire and wind…to take a hand. And her brother Barak, the Dark Lord himself…will he release his Hell Hounds, those dread beasts whose very howling strikes terror in all the races. The Goddess wails in her frustration.

The call to arms is raised: Come dragon, giant, gnome and troll! Stand proudly along side valiant Fae. Blessed be your arms: the axe and sword, the hammer and mace. And arise, you keepers of sorcery, long hidden, spat upon, discredited. Long seasons have you waited, but no more: Dark Fantasy is about to be unleashed!

An angry Goddess in Mirdoren dwells…must Mernac pay the ultimate price? Devastation as far as eyes can see; she has but to open her hand and send it flying…can Mernac survive?

Balance is required to bring her back, balance that only four can provide. Roadius, Father of Mischief, teaching her to laugh at herself…Quont, Father of Lust, providing the knowledge that lust need not shun the light…Kala, Mother of Love and Desire, who makes her feel wanted…and Sola, Mother of Life and Light, pointing the way to the beacon at the end of her Age.

Attend me now; the tale is about to begin.

Ok, now if you want to read more on this alter ego you are going to have to go to the Legends of Mernac and read. If your interested we are looking for readers/reviewers through out the site. Just Pm and we’ll supply directions.

The streets of Mernac are bustling with activity pending the upcoming Subscriptions program on the site.
