Madison Girot is the last descendant of the Goddess Innana. Her ancestors accidentally released an evil that only she can banish. Now she must find an ancient weapon that redeems men’s souls and use it to destroy the immortal she is falling in love with.
First Lines
I didn’t really like killing, but red was definitely my color.
Growing up, I wasn’t afraid of the monsters lurking in the dark, but I was afraid of monsters that attacked during the day.
I felt his eyes on me before I saw him.
Not every girl knew how to handle a firearm, but not every girl had lived through three assassination attempts.
I couldn’t imagine a life without fear and danger.
Origin of Guardians
Thousands of years ago the earth was overrun by lychanthropes, also known as werewolves. They were practically unstoppable. Humanity needed a new kind of warrior one who had the same strength as the lycans. Through a series of experimentation, the first guardians were created. These creatures were warriors who volunteered to sacrifice their souls to become immortal. Once made, a guardian has superior speed, strength and the ability to shift in and out of the shadows. While not invincible these immortals do not age or die.
They are destined to walk the earth for eternity defending humans against the were-clans. Ambrose, a character in Feral is the oldest guardian. He has seen much that eats at his soul and makes him long for rest, but he will not leave this world until the Feral are eradicated.
This writer has a knack for illuminating character traits that make you feel like you are actually there, in the scene. Please post more!

Just by glancing at your work I can say a couple of things with absolute certainty.
1- You have a well thought out imagination and that’s terrific. I don’t know how you write and if there is note taking going on describing all of your characters in advance, or if you just wing it. It has touches of both. Whatever method you do choose shines on through as mysterious in and of its self. I love when writers leave me curious to even the simplest questions of “how do you write”? it’s a sign of a passionate thinker with the ability to transfer thought to page. Often easier than most
2- as a person you are kind. My guess is that you liked something I wrote so I would notice your works and in turn your stuff becomes more popular. When you do that with a lot of wanna be writers it makes your stuff much more popular. That’s ok and I see no harm in that what so ever. Your kindness shows clearly when you take the time to reply to those that have left you comments. That shows you care about more than just the writing. You care to know how others see it. And you seem to feel some sort of kin ship with the others. Once again, that’s cool and my guess is it’s rare
Whatever is the reasoning that makes you a writer on your level, I say Cheers! success earned is an idea succeeded.
I’m greatly impressed and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your worthy great success,
Good Luck and Keep on Writing,
Peace!

Writing of any kind–even a blog–can be fun or excruciating–luckily after having published many magazine articles, 6 books (fiction and non), done many arts and/or dining reviews for different kinds of media and having one play produced (someday I’ll have to write about that experience0 and I admire anyone who writes and keeps at it despite many rejections–most writers worth their salt have a wall (or screen saver) of rejection slips but a good one doesn’t give up!! Keep going!

Don’t feel bad if I don’t read most of your writing–I am into blog reading BUT as a published author, playwright, article writer, movie, restaurant and theatre writer I have a ‘thing’ about reading on the Internet–I need/have to hold ‘it’ in my hand whether book, magazine, newspaper (yeah, those old things) in order to feel it. :O)

Thank u for visiting my blog and like it, u are the first one, ofciurse i dont have many followers and just started to take the whole wordpressblogthing more serious, if i read what u write down inhere i am more then happy to see u are a guardian too, not the one maybe in ur blog, but one in an own world, using it to make things clear, maybe u did not mean it that way, but betweem what u write and make me think of a whole new world exists, mankind is not enough near earth or nature anymore for the most part, u bring it to them, am i wrong to even see u show how bad and good are eachothers rivals, but now adays, the line between them is to thin and ppl are not able to se the differences in many ways, or actually they have a own world (and rules ) and another which they see as not theirs and for that they have entirely other rules……… which makes it all complicated and not trustwordy, honest and truth are also not of this time anymore, how many ppl will be able to know they did not lie for one day, mostly to themselves, so thank u for this blog its great!!!
