As he traced the curve of her elbow with his eyes, he noticed something stenciled there. At this distance he should not have been able to tell that that something was a flower. But he could, so he gave up reasoning for reality. His eye started tracing the lines of the flower. He was only vaguely aware that the flower was drawn on a woman’s elbow some 20 yards away. Suddenly, his laptop got heavier, almost dragging him down. He thought that must have been due to all the data he had recently downloaded. Strange thought. The lines of the flower slowly, but surely, turned into a descending, spiraling staircase. “What an interesting twist”, he thought. And then his mind swirled out of control. His last thought was that he was falling. ... Pink polka-dots were never so welcome!

And one by one she ignited each speck of dust, so that it shone like a star just for an instant. Somehow she knew, this was what Grandmother would have wanted. The council would have none of this. It just would not do to have someone so young (she was 20) yielding so much power. Their stern looks and pointing fingers told Carena that she had no choice, but to leave the village forever.

Book excerpt: A friend who read The Dancer, said she felt like she was right in the story. When the Dancer danced, she danced. But perhaps you don’t relate to the Dancer, there are plenty of other main characters you can relate to. There’s the Dancer, who is now called the Dancer Magnifique, or just Magnifique for short. There’s her husband, Straight-Spear, the Chief’s son. He dances on his horse, Rides-Like-Thunder. Rides-Like-Thunder is a god. Magnifique and Straight-Spear’s daughter is now Dancer, following in her mother’s footsteps. However, she will dance atop Rides-Like-Thunder, while her mother will not. There’s the Shaman and the Director. Their first meeting didn’t go well, as she swung Dancer’s shoes at him and knocked him out. But now they’re buddy-buddy. They act as Grandparents to Dancer. And there’s Ramon and Raul – Magnifique’s boyfriends before she met Straight-Spear. Now they’re buddy-buddy. In the fourth story, Dancer is left all alone. She is old enough to be all alone. But she’s used to being among several adults, whom she can rely on for help, most of the time. She doesn’t need their help, but just in case. All the adults in her life have left, including Rides-Like-Thunder. They’ve all gone to other worlds for various reasons. They will be back, but for she is alone. And it’s enough to make the Author cry (I forgot to mention that the Author is one of the main characters.) She was all alone, so she did what she always did – she danced. She danced for joy, she danced for strength, she danced for sorrow, she danced for weariness. She danced because she didn’t know what else to do. She had been dancing ever since they left. What had it been, 7, maybe 8 days now? She didn’t know. At some point, she would fall exhausted, asleep, and stop dancing. But not yet. She felt she could go on for ages.

What a marvelous invention she thought, a curtsying mirror. Of course it was just a normal mirror, but she liked being fanciful and pretending that it was a special mirror, one which obeyed her every command. She curtsied to the mirror once more. Then fully assured of her command over the mirror, she walked away. But the figure in the mirror didn’t move.

Book excerpt: In the second story in this series, Dancer, a Chief, a Shaman, a God who is a horse, and Dancer’s other close friends must heal the holes that have developed between the worlds. These holes have developed because Dancer and her friends opened them by using their magic. Of course, their magic alone wasn’t enough to open these holes. Their magic had acted on their desires, their desires for things to be different. Once the holes were opened, Dancer and her friends continued to use them, which made the holes larger. But now people are falling through who have no magic to fall back through the other way. People are falling through unintentionally. And somehow that had to stop. This story is told from Jamil, the Artist’s, perspective. So, I thought it appropriate to include a short story about another artist at the end. It’s titled, The Artist. Creative, I know. This artist has always wanted to be an artist, but has to give up his dream because he can’t make enough money at it and because it’s not an accepted profession. Eventually, he does become an artist. However, there’s one thing he cannot paint – a sunset. And he won’t be able to paint a sunset until he understands the beauty behind a sunset.

Aren't Wizard and Wand almost synonomous?In this first book of the series, we meet this Wizard without a Wand - Shmedley Thrumbledack and his closest friends in their first year at some Wizard School. This Wizard School is so expensive, that Shmedley’s parents run out of money buying his supplies and don’t have enough left over to buy him a Wand. Shmedley is part of a group of kind students dubbed The Tensome. Shmedley is very smart in Wizard Math and knows exactly how much a kajillion is. Rating G; Reading Level Very Easy 5th Grade; Longest Word: WizardetiquetteSchmedley Thumbledack is a young teenage boy on his way to Wizard School. He’s got three things going for him:1)When he says his last name, it sounds like thunder and lightning striking somewhere close by.2)He’s as smart as the seniors in Wizard Math.3)He has a full scholarship.About that full scholarship. It only pays for things once Schmedley arrives are Wizard School. It doesn’t pay for his transportation to Wizard School and home again. That’s understandable, but that means he’ll have to ride the Wizard School Bus. Even though his parents are very powerful wizards, they never seem to have much money. They certainly won’t be able to afford sending him on the Wizard School Train.Schmedley’s parents will have to buy his books, even Proper Wizardetiquette (Wizard Etiquette) which is certain to be Shmedley’s least favorite subject. They’ll even have to buy his books for Wizard Math, even though he’s certain to ace out of that subject on day one.And once his parents have finished buying the ticket for the Wizard School Bus, and have bought all of Shmedley’s books, they’re out of money. And there’s not enough left to buy Schmedley a Wand.But everyone knows that if you’re going to be a Wizard, you need a Wand. There’s just no way that Schmedley can go to Wizard School without a Wand. He would be the laughingstock. Bullies would no doubt pick on him. And the Wizard School would certainly send him home until he can return with a Wand.Yet, here he is on the Bus to Wizard School. Maybe when he arrives, they’ll have some used Wands. Maybe he can find one in the lost and found. Maybe somebody will lend him theirs when he needs one. Fat chance of that!One thing is certain. Without a Wand, Schmedley will certainly flunk out of Dousing – The Art of Putting Out Spells Gone Awry.Schmedley is off to a new adventure at Wizard School. Without a Wand, he’s unable to think about it. And he finds himself totally unprepared for what lies ahead.Some stories about Wizard Schools are rather dark. This one is mysterious, yet light.

This is book one of a ten book series.Genre – Fantasy, Magic, Young Adult (YA), Perhaps Middle Grades (MG), Dragons, Dinosaurs.Wizard Schools seem to have certain things in common.

Sometimes they’re called houses. This Wizard School calls them hotels. The students at all Wizard Schools cast spells. In this one, they all have other special, magical abilities.
