III Hours went by as Melisande contemplated her situation. She wanted to rejoin the crew, but she knew that Baltazar would never allow it. Still she was out at sea on her adventure and she still wanted to find out about her family. She at least still had that.

II As Baltazar predicted, within two hours, the storm hit. Waves crashed over the deck and rain poured down on the crew.

She raised her head and smiled when she realized that her … Read More Destiny: Divinity’s Finale, Chapter 4

II Melisande spent the next few hours reading from the Bible at her bedside. She also had a small collection of parchment that she enjoyed going through. Her favorite was a small piece about ships at sea and the voyages that man had taken in the last 200 years. She knew all about the discovery of the New World and the colonies that … Read More Destiny: Divinity’s Finale, Chapter 2

Can I just ask… what the heck happened? When I first published my work, I got a lot of comments from readers, both positive and negative. Divinity in particular got positive and negative comments from die-hard Christians and atheists, and I don’t understand the negativity.
