Though the pain pierces my heart I see couples and children together Someday, I whisper, this will be my reality It is a dream A seed of possibility Hope lingering for me I reach out and grasp it Grief will have its end Fullness shall come back to me Until that time, there is light Patiently, I wait Knowing I will meet my reality All in good time For Abba is always good to me. 12-28-19

Star Wars Profile Character: Aura Seanu Age: Unknown, in Earth Years, she resembles a wily teen, approximately 16, but her ‘true’ age is not known Parents: Tirk and Gelda Seanu Gelda is a human but works as a medic and has healing hands. For a mundane, she has psychic abilities and can be considered a ‘white crow’. She calms with her voice and touch. Her presence often softens a hard heart and she can change her fate with a simple smile or a joke. Aura inherited these qualities from her youth. Her father, however, was a Sentinel. He was known as the ‘Executioner’. While Gelda died as collateral damage, Tirk’s death was even worse and darker. As a Sentinel, he did his best to uphold the Balance of the Force. Aura was known in all circles to be a ‘true balancer’ and would come to have ‘Adjudicator’ and ‘Justice’ as her call signs even before she was born. To protect her from the influence of the Sith, Tirk did his best to hide her away in a sanct

Synopsis: A story taking place after Hypercharged , based on the plot of the 2019 sequel to Frozen . Mickey Mouse, the Power Rangers and the others embark on a quest to uncover the origins of the magical energy emanating from the Sorcerer Hat when not in use. Some time during the adventure, the newly-crowned Queen Anna of Arendelle discovers that she is the Fire Spirit; missing her sister Elsa and knowing that something is missing in her life, she and her husband King Kristoff join everyone on this quest. Chapter 1—I Hear You After her wedding to King Kristoff, Anna had been busy keeping Arandelle peaceful. They had recently negotiated amicable treaties with Ataholland. No one knew, but currently, Elsa had exclusively started dating Ryder. It wasn’t known if this was going to strengthen the kingdoms or render it asunder. Elsa wasn’t certain, but Anna, as usual, was an eternal optimist. She had known since the encounter in the Enchanted Forest that Ryde

In the bleak midwinter Windowpanes shimmer with colors A kaleidoscopic array to emblazen the eyes Everywhere I look Gingerbread houses brighten the darkness Just like my spark of hope Newness shall spring from the shadows The dawn will break again I make peace with patience As I glow bright Blazing brilliantly Just like Christmas lights. 12-22-19

Falling from the sky Pearlescent pure fluff Falling cool upon my tongue I marvel at each fractal As it dazzles my eye Accumulating to blankets of white A Christmas snow Right before celebrating Carte blanche Begin again Wash all things anew Under blankets of white Quietly the suburbs sleep With visions of brotherhood Civility and peace. 12/16/19

Synopsis: Continuing after Rangers in Black . Magica de Spell, toiling in her quest to find the Number One Dime, feels rather weak. Magica seeks to gain Donald's Uncle Scrooge's new energy potion (co-created with the help of Prof. Ludwig von Drake) to drink for herself.  In the midst of things, Uncle Scrooge is captured and ransomed. The sorceress's price: the Energy Potion In a b-story, the Rangers, the bots, the Playhouse gang and the Toons watch home movies at the House of Mouse. Chapter 1—Frienemies Unite Magica de Spell had been watching Scrooge McDuck from afar for quite some time through Lena. Lena hadn’t done this voluntarily and she felt horribly guilty taking advantage of her friend, Webby, who looked up to her as a role model. Webby liked her adopted brothers, but only Lena understood her as a ‘gal of adventure’ and a ‘chick who feared almost nothing’. Lena had broken Magica’s hold on her but even though Magica had been betrayed by

Banker's Fieldhouse was positively packed with humanity.   All walks of human beings were in attendance.  If only a Washington DC summit could be this peaceful !   Celine opened with 'All Coming Back to Me' and she sang all her standard favorites.  I enjoyed her songs immensely and loved the costume changes.  She had more costume changes than a Bollywood movie !   She even had a medley where she sang Bowie, Mercury, Prince and Houston all together.  I knew every song and I was singing loud and proud, unashamed.   I figured the Queen of Ballads would serenade us once more at the end with an encore.  Great artists usually do.   She treated us to My Heart Will Go On, which is her signature song and one she is famous for.   I cried when she sang Courage, because it is a song about losing someone you love and having the strength to continue even when you feel you cannot.  It is a song that is hard hitting and empowering.    I am so pleased I got to see her in concert.  Now all I

For your reading pleasure, I have recently uploaded A Girl and Her Forest Selkie as well as On The Outside Looking In.  One is a regular story, even though it is a supernatural horror story that was intended to be written around Halloween.  Oh, well.  Better late than never.    As far as 'Outside', it is a story I have written before but with a far different premise.   It is a script, and at its most basic, a romance that turns out to be a contemporary fairy tale.   I'm currently working on: The Bizzarre Bizzare May the Cosmos Guide You Marauders, Part II A Girl and Her Feelies (a collaboration with my friend Thryller2Rayne) Hypercharged (a collaboration with my friend BrightStarAngie) Signals Red Roses for a Blue Lady (script) A Rare Find Angels in Fur Coats The Best Medicine (script) When You Least Expect It (script) Stress vs. Stressor (script) Now You're Cooking ! (script) Fragile Beauty (script) Glass Artisan The One That Got Away (script)   Some

As a child, I will never forget the day Freddie Mercury (aka Farouk Balsara) died.  It was like I was losing a beloved family member.  Just like the day Bowie, Alan Rickman and Stephen Hawking departed, I can remember bawling like a baby feeling so desolate, lost and depressed.   Those days were particularly hard for me, even when I was young.   In spite of the sadness I have when thinking of Queen's music at times, it hits me mainly as a motivator.   It expresses my true individuality, especially the song 'The Show Must Go On'.   One song I love entirely is 'We Are the Champions'.  The whole musical is forecast into the not too distant future where individually made music is outlawed (and honestly given to what happened with YouTube not long ago with COPPA, this probably isn't too far off, so yes, predictive programming at work, again .).   Anyways, being the awakened person I am, I share my premonitions with others, hoping not to disturb or unsettle their a

Synopsis: A snow globe is stolen from the Angel Grove with a whole universe of royalty encapsulated inside. The culprits that walk out with it are being traced by J and K from the MIB trail the thieves in knowing this royal family upholds the very fabric of reality. If they are lost, everything will fall into the realms of entropy and chaos… ‘Worlds within worlds within worlds...’--Anonymous ‘It looked like they were wheels within wheels, like a gyroscope.’--Ezekiel 1:16 Chapter 1—What Could Be So Important About a Snow-globe ? It was supposed to be a normal, charitable art exhibit event where local creative minds brainstormed on beautification projects, recycling, renewable energy, bettering the community and selling old art for a magnificent cause. In the midst of all the pieces being exhibited, there was a very meticulously crafted snow globe. It had an opulent opalescent castle with needlepoint spires, glinting in the light. It was s

On Kindle I have Fairy Tale Red Thread of Fate and Spooky Valentine up for your reading pleasure. I am currently working on the music that surrounds Spooky Valentine. I nearly forgot about A Girl and Her Forest Selkie.   Yes, it's technically a Halloween story but it is still appropriate for the holidays coming up.   I will work on other stories as well, including yet another musical called Lil Ms. Music about a musical prodigy who's one desire is to find someone to harmonize with her and isn't intimidated of her intellect and mad skill.   More to come !   Rangers in Black still WIP.   Getting jiggy with that one.  

I have been a Hugh Jackman fan all my life.   I knew that at a young age, like myself, he was theatre/Broadway trash but loved the realm of dance.    He took tap lessons later on in life as well as piano lessons.   His first interaction with Broadway was as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast.   He integrated well into other musicals such as The Man From Oz , which was the first Australian musical to ever make the greats on BROADWAY, which is saying something.  I'm thinking that musical is about Peter Allen, who was actually born in Australia.    I knew quite a bit about Peter and I love his music so this was a really sweet treat for me.   I felt incredibly inspired by Hugh and I laughed harder than I ever have.   Yesterday was his official 51st birthday.  Wouldn't you know Ryan Reynolds just had to show up and mess with Hugh ?   He sang him happy birthday but then flipped him off.  I was in utter stitches.   They have such a great bromance, it's really touching to see that a

Synopsis: Continuing from The Energy Virus , the wicked toon Splatter Phoenix  is on a quest to ravage all of ToonTown into a colorless, lifeless wasteland. Only the Rangers and their friends can defeat her. ‘ I see a red door and I want to paint it black No colors anymore I want to paint it black I see the girls walk by dressed in their fancy clothes And yet all the while still my darkness grows.’--Lyrics from ‘Paint it Black’ as sung by the Doors ‘I see your true colors shining through Your true colors, that’s why I love you So don’t be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors Are beautiful.”--Lyrics from ‘True Colors’ as sung by Madonna Chapter 1--”I’ll Drain The Color From ToonTown ! Permanently !” Splatter Phoenix blended in with the crowd at the charity event. There were so many vibrant colors in various artworks that were excruciatingly offensive to Splatter’s eyes. ‘I’ve HAD it

Synopsis: Continuing from "The Search for Skarlet", Megabyte and Hexadecimal appear from the Computer Realm to wreak havoc. Their father Gigabyte tags along, teaming up with the queen of the Negaverse, Queen Beryl, to steal energy so he can feed. He finds the life energy of humans and Toons to be rather delicious, even moreso than the energy of Sprites, Tears and Binomes, so the Rangers, Star Wars characters, Mobians, the Mortal Kombat characters, toons, bots, and the Mainframers team up to stop these harvesters' plans. ‘ The only people who don’t make up their mind are foolish or dead.’-- Valerian: Valerian & Laureline, Time Jam Chapter 1--A Portal...from the Internet?! The Sentinels found nothing out of the ordinary in their every day data stream. They had been doing their job exceptionally and everything was impeccable as usual. The Queen of the Sentinels, Locus, noticed something very unusual prodding through one of her near-impenet
