Scrap Stories: A Supplementary Novella
In the wake of The Bound's invasion, Lily Masters, Roger Owens, and the rest of the Jumper community attempt to return to normal life. Lily faces guilt, self-doubt, isolation, and the dangers of the Collective. Roger struggles to come to terms with the scars of his past.
Amid their growing relationship, one thing is clear: The Bound have left their mark in more ways than one.
Before I started writing THE OTHEROWLRDS: Book Two, I felt there was more to Lily's story, but it wouldn't fit in THE OTHERWORLDS I or THE OTHERWORLDS II. So I decided to add a supplementary work of 3 (semi) short stories called Scrap Stories. How did it get that name? No idea. It's just what stuck.
Scrap Stories has three parts, or chapters, and is in total around 30-40,000 words. Along with Lily's narrative, these stories delve into Roger's character and history, their relationship dynamics, and doubts. Think of it as THE OTHERWORLDS 1 1/2. It expounds on a few incidents between books, but you won't miss anything in Book Two if you skip it. It's a purely optional work for those wanting to stay in the world of Jumpers, Gateways, and the Collective for a little longer. But don't be surprised if a few secrets are in there!
For now, only Part 1: Comfort is available (for free!) to read and share to your heart's content. It has been proofread and self-edited, but not run through a professional copy editor, so typos and mistakes are inevitable. If we hit our stretch goal, I'll be able to have it edited and all three chapters available in full E-book form!
THE OTHERWORLDS: Book Two
Voices call from the deep.
They provide answers, but at what cost?
Two months after The Bound's invasion, Lily Masters struggles to cope with the recent traumatic events and her newfound psychic abilities. Grueling days of Jumper training stretch into endless nights lost in the Collective, but Lily attempts to find balance. Despite her efforts, her doubts persist; has she made the right choice by becoming a Jumper? Will she be able to survive in this life?
Her fragile equilibrium shatters when Legion, an ancient cult, thought long dead, resurfaces. Cutting down those in their path, they pursue the most powerful object in the known universe: the Book of Bones. It awakens dark terrors with an uttered word. It whispers destruction into being. Death flows from its pages.
Navigating the perilous ground between the real and incorporeal realm, Lily fears her mind is not her own. A strange voice whispers from the deepest cracks of her psyche. It pushes her closer to madness with every hiss. Should she listen, or fight against it? Her time grows short. The day of reckoning approaches.
Primordial horrors stir beneath the surface.
The real battle begins.
THE OTHERWORLDS: Book Two is an adult contemporary SciFi/fantasy novel. Follow Lily Master’s journey into new dangers as she fights to save her friends and family from an ancient evil.
