It's called Jumping At Shadows and it's a fantasy fiction aimed at children 9yrs - adults (if you're like me and love books like The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe or Harry Potter.) It's already had two 5 star reviews and one 4 star rating on Goodreads, very happy about that. You can find it at Smashwords if you're interested for $2.99 http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/204743 - Thank you again for taking an interest. ^_^Helen A.

Good to have you here this week.<br /><br />Great writing as we always come to expect from you. You capture so many things within the 100 words with our narrator's sense of obligation, the images of the red light district and that wonderful reveal at the end. Really like the juxtapose between the servitude and sense of power which the Master feels within this.Phil Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464183612097326811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100355327187734441.post-65238121877092348422012-08-02T22:45:01.774+01:002012-08-02T22:45:01.774+01:00Apologies for my absence of late. Life, work and ...Apologies for my absence of late. Life, work and writing are to blame. My lateness is a disgrace and I will accept the lashing. <br /><br /><b>Master and Servant.</b><br /><br />I was feeling hemmed in. There was a weight on my shoulders and a dark cloud over my head. It was time.<br /><br />I made my way down to the red light district. It was quiet, although there were a couple of women dressed in nothing more than a mini-skirt and a vest top, their ample charms spilling over the top.<br /><br />It isn't the prostitutes I'm looking for, though. They are weak. I search out the others - the women who solicit blood from me for sexual pleasures.<br /><br />I am their Master.David Barberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659359186046409071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100355327187734441.post-69662593104791091302012-08-02T22:03:16.784+01:002012-08-02T22:03:16.784+01:00Congrats on your book.

Nice to see the use ...Good to have you back Cindy.<br /><br />Nice to see the use of all three prompts in the same sentence; clever. I've always been one to wonder at how society judges others for not fitting the norm. Growing up around Brighton and working in London has introduced me to all spectrums of life and I often think the least tolerant in society are those considered 'the norm'. You've captured that societal angst here beautifully Cindy.Phil Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464183612097326811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100355327187734441.post-86780806496937592822012-08-02T21:37:11.526+01:002012-08-02T21:37:11.526+01:00Argh but that is good.
