Running behind this morning. Here is a snippet. Got to run to work. The Keeper of Records turned to me. He was of average height, slim, and old. Time had wrinkled his brown skin, carving a roadmap of years around his eyes and mouth, and turned his hair white. He wore a brown three-piece suit

Good and Bad
I wanted to touch on comment moderation this morning. This site started as a place to market books and evolved into a slice of life blog. If you visit it enough, you will note a distinct lack of slap fights compared to other similar gathering spots on the internet. That’s because we rigorously moderate the

Hidden Legacy Questions, Part 1, the Silly Edition
Is there a possibility that the Baylors’ dad was actually a Prime with a subtle ability to increase the magic potential of people around him? All of his descendants are primes and the boys he helped raise seem to have higher-tiered abilities than one might expect. If there is no indication that his wife and

The Baylors
I talked to the person who left the comment and I know where they were coming from. We are now moving past this. Here are the Baylors. 🙂 The entire family had gathered in the hallway, filling it wall to wall. Leon, tall, lean, dark haired, with a dark tan and a white smile, leaned

Too Much
“Do you need to rest?” I asked. Alessandro paused midway up the stairs and pivoted to me, [Redacted] draped over his shoulders and back in classic fireman’s carry. “Why?” Because you are carrying a two-hundred-pound man up a narrow winding stairway consisting of seventy-five steps? “I thought you might want to take a short break.”

New Art from Luisa Preissler
I always wanted a painted family portrait. For sheer coolness of it. I am pretty sure Baylor sisters wanted one too, so we asked Luisa Preissler to paint one and here it is. It is absolutely amazing. Isn’t that just gorgeous? So thrilled with this, I can’t even tell you. And she put in so

On Primes and Prime Genetics
If Primes have more than one child, would that dilute their power? Lisa I am not quite sure what you’re asking here. Let me try to explain genetics and talent. This will be super simplified and not entirely accurate, but for the demonstration purposes, it should work. Let’s say I am a Prime. I have

Ruby Fever: A Snippet
Today we bring you a fun snippet. You’ve read a little bit of this before, but this is the whole chapter, so if you don’t want to reread, skip to the new bit. Hehehe. “Is it haunted?” Oh, for the love of… “No, Arabella.” My sister squinted at the monstrosity of a house growing closer

Hidden Legacy Covers: The Unexpected Edition
Nevada’s trilogy was published in Israel with these beautiful covers. Readers loved the covers, but of course, someone will always complain about something. In one of the Facebook discussions, a reader suggested that the covers should be in Aramaic, like religious texts, and that way everyone would be happy. It’s a hilariously absurd suggestion. In
