Beyond Our Horizon

Louise: First, we’d like to explain what’s happened the past few weeks, I–

Twi: Don’t give passwords to Louise to remember, that’s what happened. 

Louise: That’s not what happened. 

Twi: Also, don’t give her computers, she breaks them.

Louise: I–

Twi: *looks at Louise*

Louise: *sighs* The computer just died on me. 

Twi: Uh-huh. 

Louise: *brushes it aside* Doesn’t matter, that’s not important right now. 

Twi: It is if we’re trying to explain where we’ve been. 

Louise: Off the grid, that’s where we’ve been… blogging wise. Completely un-intentional, we apologize. And just to make you feel better, I know where the passwords are now. 

Twi: *whispers* Don’t give her passwords. 

Louise: *facepalms*

Twi: Hello everyone! So this blog is full of ANNOUNCEMENTS! This is like the trailers at the beginning of a movie except here there isn’t a movie!  

Louise: For those of us who are old enough to remember the VHS’s that had the voice of the one guy saying: CoMiNg SoOn tO oWn oN dVD. (Anyone remember him?)

Twi: Today we will be presenting… presenting… umm…

Louise: Introductory material to our present works in progress!

Twi: The ones we’ll be posting on Bookish Productions that is. Nothing about our books.

Louise: …do we have to though? I rather like keeping secrets. 

Twi: This will get us good hype! Just do it girl.

Louise: UUUUgghhhh…. Alright. But I hav to warn you about my main character, he’s-

Twi: Your main man!

Louise: *looks at Twi* really?

Twi: Yes. 

Louise: *sighs* whatever I was about to say, I lost the thread. 

Twi: Let us begin! Here are blurbs from some short stories and serial series coming to you! Also, there’ll be commentary. Lots of commentary.

Louise: Where would we be without commentary?

FIRST OFF (again, without the snark)

Twi: So, I’m here to quickly apologize for disappearing for a while. We had some technical difficulties so Louise couldn’t post our stuff on the website. Also, this is a busy time of year. You’ll see more of us in future! 😉

UPCOMING SHORT STORY BY SARAH TWILIGHT

Louise: I just want to say-

Twi: COMMENTARY IS AFTER I INTRODUCE THE STORY

Louise: Oh. Well then. 

Twi: *horrified* Do you have this commentary pre-scripted?!

Louise: *hides script* n o

Twi: *takes script and bops Louise on the head with it, throws it into the fire*

Louise: *looks in horror at the ashes, then frowns at Twi in confusion* Since when do we have a fireplace? 

Twi: *shrugs*

Louise: *continues to stare in confusion*

Touch My Magic

There are two types of mages, the keeper mages, who can manipulate the magic around them and whose magic is tied to their soul, and the touch mages, whose magic is bound to their body and can share their power through touch. Touch mages are hunted for body parts to sell on the black market, and none know this better than Keira. Keira hunts down touch mages but delivers varied results to those who’ve hired her. One day she is hired to track and retrieve a touch mage named Novak. She agrees to this and gets the surprise of a lifetime when Novak finds her and asks for her help in bringing down her employer. Keira agrees to this, but things get tricky because Keira has always worked alone and if she can’t learn to work with Novak their lives might be the price they must pay.

Twi: Now you may commentate. 

Louise: Define commentate. 

Twi: nope. 

Louise: fine. 

Twi: Anyway.

Louise: It’s… Nice.

Twi: *deadpans*

Louise: Alright, alright. Have you ever listened to Crown of Secrets?

Twi: HOW IS THAT COMMENTARY?

Louise: It’s a valid question. 

Twi: Not when you’re supposed to be giving commentary! 

Louise: It’s an introduction to my commentary. 

Twi: *groan* FINE. NO. HAPPY? 

Louise: *tries to keep a straight face* *fails* Okay, I’ll commentate now. It reminds me of the Crown Of Secrets, only a little, like the vibe. I like that. It sounds very medieval. Only one question though… is Novak a girl or a boy? I don’t think you made that clear in the actual blurb…

Twi: I guess you’re going to have to read it and find out.

ANOTHER UPCOMING SHORT STORY BY SARAH TWILIGHT!!!

Guardian Alexis

Alexis isn’t crazy when he says he hears voices in his head. That’s all you need to know. Okay, okay, you may need to know that he and his guardian angel have a special relationship, and that each day he gets a Whisper of someone’s intention, and each day he has to do something about it. One day he gets a Whisper about a girl in his class who plans on ending her life at sunset. He has a matter of hours to find out who this girl is and convince her that life is worth living. With the help of his best friend Trick, the cryptic advice of his guardian angel, and the discovery that some of his classmates aren’t who they seem on the outside, this day is a day Alexis will never forget. 

Louise: Well this sounds serious.

Twi: It is but the character voice is actually really lighthearted and funny.

Louise:… alright, I’m interested. Explain? 

Twi: That’s what the bio is for. 

Louise: So you’re not going to tell us more?

Twi: Trick is short for Patrick.

Louise: Seriously?

Twi: *smirks* You asked for more, did you not?

Louise: I’m never naming my child Patrick now. 

Twi: if you are reading this and your name is Patrick you should try out this awesome nickname!

Louise: If you are a person named Patrick, I’m here to tell you that Twi makes nicknames out of all names, and I am sorry if this causes you stress.

Louise: Gah! It’s mine turn… oyyyyy. 

Twi: *rolls eyes*

UPCOMING SERIAL SERIES BY LOUISE TAYLOR

ROYAL VENDETTA

Strangers in an enemies court.

Week two in the walls of the palace. 

“Life changed the day the duchess found us, Lou and I. I never thought such a kind woman existed, not after the horrors we glimpsed during the war. But she took us in, she never asked any questions. I’m sure she knew. It would have been hard not to, what with the way we stuck out. Honestly, I don’t know how people think we’re native to Lightborn. We’re too dark, we look like we’ve been soaking in the sun day and night (if only the sun could shine at night, it would banish Lou’s nightmares). I ran into Prince Royce the other day on accident. He didn’t recognize me, or seem to know who I am. All he said was: “Good day, milady. Your eyes are startling, the color of walnuts I’d say.” Startling? Well, coming from a boy in Lightborn (for he is just a boy, barely seventeen), I would expect Lou and I to look startling. He for one had only the lightest blue for his eyes. Not surprising since I hear his brother has icicles for eyes. I’m fearful to meet Crown Prince Wymer. I’ve heard he’s stone cold. What if he recognizes Lou and I? And demands we pay the price for our disloyalty? The tales I’ve heard about him, I would expect him to do so. I would expect the price to be high. It makes me shudder.
What are Lou and I to do? In a place like this? Full of past enemies and present troubles.
This is my uncles fault.
And I hate him for it.
I’ll never forgive him.
Never.
I want the chance to even the score, to pay him back his misdeeds, to show him what it’s like to watch a girl like Lou suffer from tragic memories. How can he sit on his throne, haughty and self-righteous, and not wonder what happen to his nieces? The ones he sent off to stop a war that came anyway? I hate him. I hate that man.”

Twi: I SMELL ROMANCE!!! 

Louise: How did you get romance from that?

Twi: I can get romance out of anything.

Louise: *sighs* I know. But trust me. This is going to be soooooo unromantic. You’re going to hate it. XD

Twi: Oy. But in all honesty this sounds pretty cool.

Louise: Thanks. My tears, sweat, and blood went into this.

Twi: the term is actually blood, sweat, and tears…… 

Louise: *cuts to the next announcement*
