Too old, too bitter, and ready to retire? Why not have your genes altered and shoot yourself across space to a new world and new career.
Amber has always been waiting for her time. Her moment. When she gets to the age of fifty-five and finds that her moment has not shown up, she decides to take on an offer from three decades earlier that has recently been renewed and get her ass into space.
Well, she needs a bit of prep for the journey, and the reset involves rejuvenating her hair, skin, eyes, muscles, organs, and gets her into the best shape that her genetics will allow.
At the request of the Avatar of Terra, Amber agrees to travel the star systems to become the governess to the imperial princess of the Possitt system. The imperial regent is the princess’s uncle, and it was him that had the idea for the governess from an alien world with certain modifications. Being able to punch through steel had not been in Amber’s original specifications, but she is adapting and learning to enjoy her new position in a world where she isn’t allowed to meet anyone’s eyes. It is a minor inconvenience that she is willing to live with for the chance to help a scared young woman become the empress she was meant to be. Views: 414
Time is running out for the people of Aazronia. Besieged by abominations, Magistrate Marcus flees to the druid homeworld to seek the help of the Druid Mother. He must battle his way past the rabid infestation that blocks his path to safety. As he prepares to retake his home, his only thoughts lie with the thousands of Aazronians that lay dying in their homes.With Magistrate Marcus leading his men as they tried to repel the attackers of his beloved Aazronians, their exhaustion was apparent. Their magic diminished as they weakened through fatigue – the abomination army was strong, but the Aazronians needed to be stronger. As the Magistrate called on the Medallion of Justice around his neck to intensify, it lit up – his Storm Wizard magic was now at its strongest; the arc of electricity which raced through the air headed in the several directions it was needed, doing the necessary eliminations amongst gratifying explosions.As the Wizard Legion rallied around one another, they fought on – they were desperate to protect the portal for as long as they were able. Suddenly Marcus received a mind message from Gwin – they were to return; the portal was to be opened. Marcus led his Legion toward the safety of the Druids – but would they be successful? Would there be more lives lost on their journey?Reviewed by Goodreads. 4 stars."This short story was very enjoyable – a fast paced, action packed piece of writing with lots of creatures, wizards and magic interspersed – a quick and easy read. I have no hesitation in recommending it to lovers of scifi and fantasy." -Brenda Views: 411

I didn't get to where I am by being nice. I'm the boss, the CEO, the owner of whatever I want. Right now, that includes every person in this building of the company I just bought. I stop at nothing once I've decided I'm taking something. And then she showed up... full of spitfire just for me, the man she's decided is her worst enemy. Like I said, I stop at nothing once I've decided I'm taking something. This pretty little thing just moved to the top of my "must acquire" list. Views: 410
