The Arcane Gems, 1: Blood-Stained Loyalty by Isabel Edwards In Progress
Annabeth is a thirteen-year-old girl who's transferred to a boarding school meant for orphan children. It's hardly even an hour after she arrives that she begins to learn things she never even would have suspected to be true from seven girls--Cordelia, Natalee, Olivia, Erica, Yekiterina, Samantha, and Hunter. This leads her to be forced into another world on Earth she only thought could exist in fantasy novels. After Annabeth has two odd nightmares, the others think she may have a second ability: receiving omens. Hunter takes the girls to go investigate wherever Annabeth had found herself in both nightmares. Turns out, not only had the dreams led them to one of the gems, but it also led them to a boy with special powers who was being held captive.

The Apes of Eden - The Age of Antiquities by Jon P. Gunn In Progress
Can one literary work be an epic poem, a tutorial on philosophies from Mesopotamia to the present and a laugh-out-loud compendium of satirical humor? Welcome to The Apes of Eden - The Journey Begins. I'm kinda glad you got us in this fix-- you never let me do my magic tricks. In the year 19067, a tribe of killer apes leaves Eden in search of God. They face evil creatures from Hell and Heaven alike. The story is told in the words of Literate Louie, the Scribe of the Tribe. A tribe of killer apes living an idyllic life in the Garden of Eden begins a monumental quest to search the post-apocalyptic Earth in search of God. The Journey Begins is the first of a trilogy. The Apes of Eden is written in iambic pentameter. It is a humorous look at religion and philosophy through the eyes of an intelligent ape. The Apes of Eden is written in rhymed iambic pentameter thus falling into the category called heroic couplets. Each line has 10 syllables and the pairs of lines rhyme. While many lines were written in 10 syllables in very early Latin, it was Geoffrey Chaucer who added the meter and originated iambic pentameter in the English Language which was further immortalized in many plays and sonnets of William Shakespeare. Jon P. Gunn wrote The Apes of Eden over a period of many, many years beginning as a teenager. He read Spenser, Chaucer, Dante and Cervantes. Many oddball philosophies, from solopsism to deism are explored and mocked. Allusions to a broad spectrum of myths and canons are made. Jon never graduated from college even though he had twice the number of hours to graduate. He was too busy reading the great works of literature to bother. He shared his work with a friend. It is that man and his friend, Rick Lakin who are bringing you Jon’s work. We think it’s very good. We hope you do too. The Apes of Eden is written in Rhymed Iambic Pentameter thus falling into the category called Heroic Couplets. Each line has 10 syllables and the pairs of lines rhyme. While many lines were written in 10 syllables in very early Latin, it was Geoffrey Chaucer who added the meter and originated iambic pentameter in the English Language which was further immortalized in many plays and sonnets of William Shakespeare.
