Teaser Tuesday - Post #8

Here's something new! Every Tuesday I'm going to share with you a picture that showcases a moment from my book, Jazmine. Below it, I'll have a quote that is related to the picture. Hopefully this way ya'll will be able to get inside my head a little and see what Latanica is really like! None of these images (unless otherwise noted) are mine.

                              From THE LATANICA SAGA: JAZMINE --


I only got a quick glance at the beast before it rushed past, but I could never forget what I saw. Grey hair clung in matted clumps to its sickly thin frame.  It was almost as tall as me, but a giant hunched back rose above its head.  Strangely long legs sprouted out on either side of it in a spidery crouch.  Pointed ears pressed flat against its head and a long snout hovered over the forest floor.  Shriveled yellow eyes gazed hungrily at the ground in front of it and long yellow fangs poked out from under a cracked lip.

“What was that?” I whispered in horror, shaking from relief.


“That was a morg,” Ava replied grimly.

My FanFiction Stories - Post #1

I originally wrote this story for my brother Zach's 13th birthday. He was currently obsessed (and still is) with Wolverine, Batman, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. This story is about Obi-Wan… because Star Wars is awesome. It's a short story intended to be fun and a simple read. When I wrote it I was literally flying to try and get it done for his birthday -- I did, and I think I did a pretty good job. But I'll let you be the judge of that… 




Description: Newly knighted Obi-Wan Kenobi is sent to the planet Nargossa to put an end to the murdering smuggler Hareim Cole.

Movie: Star Wars

Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Aurra Sing, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker.

Genre: Sci-Fi/Adventure

Rating: K+

Even though he couldn’t watch over me in the castle any longer, he had continued to watch over me through the spying of a talking raven.

FantasyFreak133

I know you guys have seen my link to FanFiction on the Contacts page, but you probably don't really know what it is, who I am, or what I do on it. To sum it all up, it's basically a website where people can write stories based in a book or movie that they like without copyright infringement problems. It's a really fun site where you can both read and write. There are forums and fan clubs, polls and beta readers. And there are TONS of sections for books, movies, comics, TV shows (etc.) where you can find stories to read. If you want to write a story and the book/movie is not listed, then all you have to do is simply contact the FanFiction Help and they will add it for you!

I'm one of the readers/authors for this awesome website; my username is FantasyFreak133, and I currently have five stories posted for Star Wars, Hunger Games, Spider-Man, and Young Samurai. Over the next few weeks I'll be writing an individual post for each of my FanFictions detailing what they're about and what gave me the idea. So keep your eyes peeled for those!

The ratings for FanFiction are:
K = kids
K+ = mature kids
T = teens
M = mature 
MA = mature adults

Below are the links to my FanFiction stories! Feel free to read them and tell me what you think! 

Master of the Chosen One
Child of 2 Galaxies: book 1 - EarthLing
Homecoming
The Hunger Games: Safe & Sound
Awoken

I balanced a tray in either hand and on my head as I walked through the deserted halls to the banquet chamber.  I could hear the snarls, the clashes of metal, and the splashing of wine even from where I stood; a full story underground.  

I teetered and almost lost my balance as a wiry figure shot past me. I glared at Alvord as he bounced to my side and caught my arm, righting me.

“Sorry Min!” he gasped, while the big torches in his hands flickered eerie shadows on the moldy walls. 

“It’s all right.”

We hurried down the halls and stepped out from a tapestry on the wall and walked into the candle lit chamber.

After a few minutes we emerged into a small clearing.  In the center of the clearing was a decaying structure held up by four columns.
