Some drawings from "The Last Defender"

I got tired of scanning, so there are only a couple of drawings from Pippin's very belated birthday book

 I made this bigger so you could read the words.

Basically you weren't cool unless you were descended from "Longsword" in this book.

 Sebastian, the main character, is a troublemaker. He isn't a Longsword. In this picture he's going to scare Lady Tofu Longsword and her friend, by shooting the warning shield.

 Sebastian Reinhart

 Lady Tofu Longsword and her friend, who is also a Longsword. Judging by the look on Lady Tofu's face, anyone could guess that Sebastian is in big trouble.

 Lady Tofu Longsword, the most important lady on Corkin Island.

 Lord Tofu is very bored, he lets his wife tell him what is a suitable punishment for Sebastian.

 Lord Tofu Longsword, lord of Corkin Island.

 Sebastian being taught the ancient language (which turned out to be a fake), by Sir Arthur Longsword, his new master.

 Sir Arthur Longsword, who doesn't care if someone is a Longsword, but does care if they are kids or women.

 Sebastian cleaning Arthur's house.

 Lady Danielle Longsword. She was awarded that title because she married a Longsword. She is the ally's mother. I liked her picture better then his.

Sir Carrak Longsword, Arthur's brother.

Sadly, that is all because as I said before, I got tired of scanning, there was over fifty pages. Ugh!

Prince Charming's Diary, part 2

Prince Charming's Diary

Prince John

Day 5

Today, I decided that I had had enough! Enough as in enough! I was going to leave home. I was old enough! My patience has worn thin. If Master Won tells me to stop and smell the roses one more time, I am so going to kill him! Big time! Well, anyway I borrowed an old pair of Joseph's clothes. The pair he used when he was dropped in a rose bush, or whatever really happened. Once I put the clothes on, I rumpled up my hair, and looked in the mirror. I looked like a peasant My plan was working! I sneaked out to the stable and put the plainest saddle on my horse. Well, I got to say it was the plainest saddle, but it still had solid silver trimming on it. Stupid! Perhaps I shall write some more when I have something of interest to say.

Day 6

Well, I have something interesting to say! UGH! My aching back! Yesterday I achieved my greatest desire and got lost in the darkest part of the forest. There is a saying that says, “Adventures are not all picnics and singing under the stars.” Whoever said that would be right. Adventures are terrible. Today, my horse threw me. I swear it was the deepest puddle of quicksand on Royaume. I sank all the way up to my waist before I managed to pull myself out. Now only three short hours later, which is next door to an eternity, I feel like I was made of clay. UGH! What I would give for a hot bath, and a clean shirt. This peasant business is killing me! Now I have to trudge around on foot. I even lost a shoe in the mud, so I am currently hopping around on one foot. It is very painful. I hope the world ends soon. That would solve all of my problems!

Day 7

This morning I was shivering and very hungry. Whoever said one could live on berries and roots out to have his tongue ripped out. Does anyone realize if you are going to tell someone to live on roots, you better give him a seven hundred page manual with vivid pictures and hearty descriptions of what not to eat. I vomited after eating my first root, which tasted like a cross between a hunk of very dirty wood and something the cat dragged in. Do not ask who this cat is or what it dragged in. Anyway, I was cold and hungry, there was not a single berry in the whole rotten forest, when I saw her. Who is her? I do not know, it was just her. She was short, with wispy brown hair. Not very beautiful or very ugly, just plain. Her face was smudged with something black, and her dress was ragged and torn. She also had a basket of berries over one arm. Where did she get berries from in this barren forest? I trudged up to her, my eyes not leaving the basket. She jumped. I bet she was not used to meeting a man made of half clay.

“Good morning sir.” she said politely. She had nice manners.

“Good eve fair lady.” I muttered, hoping I sounded like a peasant. Her brown eyes started twinkling. I decided that she was pretty in her own way.

“You hungry?” she asked as she offered me the basket.

“Yes my lady.” I whispered and took a handful. I hate berries but believe me when I tell you that nothing ever tasted better. I ate two handfuls before I remembered my manners. Master Won would have starved rather then take the berries, the irritating quack!

“When was the last time you ate?” she asked quietly. I thought.

“Two days ago, not counting the root.” I admitted, “But by the time I had removed all traces of that from my stomach, I was even hungrier. The girl laughed. A warm pleasant laugh.

“Please eat more, I can always find more.” she argued. I gave in to the temptation of one more handful, before backing away again.

“Thank you my lady.” I said in what I hoped was a kind tone. She stared hard at me.

“You speak funny.” she said after a pause. I was scared that she would discover who I was.

“Come back in two days and I will bring you payment.” I gasped and fled into the forest.

“Wait, what is your name?” she yelled after me.

“John!” I cried.

“I am Ella Marie.” she called. Ella Marie? What an odd name. Why did I promise to go back?

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Rosie!

My sister turned sixteen today! 

Now she is sixteen going on seventeen!

Random drawings

Another bunch of random drawings, while I procrastinate on the "Prince Diary." I'm  pretty sure, I posted some of these before.

 The second cover (not finished) for "Warrior Princesses of Fairy Land" which I changed to "Beyond the Sunset."

From left to right

Top Row: Warren the younger elf prince, Jack the fairy Godmother's eldest son, Polly Towers/Rapunzel.

Middle Row: Blanche White/Snow White, Erick the older elf prince, Cassandra Rell/Cinderella.

Bottom row: the beast and Belle.

 The original cover for "Beyond the Sunset."

Cassandra, Belle, and Polly just stole the glass coffin right out from under Prince Erick's nose, and used it as a boat in the raging river. Polly's hair worked just fine for a seat belt/safety rope.

 Random drawing for the futuristic diary of Brent Kay. WW7 I believe.

The cover for "Thunder in the Academy" but without the title.

James Cowin is wearing the baseball hat. He's an alien from Venus, and run super fast and mess with people's minds. He is called Shadow Man. Frederick Dulzer is wearing the mask that covers the top half of his face. It would take to long to say what his suit does, but his main thing is electric bolts from his gloves. He is known as Captain Thunder. Agnes Remy has the shooting star on her tunic. She has a teleport and anti-gravity bracelet. She is called Shooting Star.  Mr. Smith/Johnathon Alvarez Smith Dulzer/the Mask is Frederick's uncle, and one of the old Justice Heroes. He can shift into any kind of animal. There is just one hitch, it's always green. Emmy is in front of James. She is a wannabe ballet dancer, and that's what she does annoys and dances her enemies to death. She is known as the Butterfly.

 The beast, from "The Beast Diary."

 Cover for, you'll never guess, "The Night Thief."

Rose Benson and Wolfgang Drew are on the cover, and of course Rose's colonel style house.

 Ecclesio shooting the King's assassin in the frozen country of Nodymiun.

From: "The Red Lion, The King's Assassin."

 Cover for "The Last Defender." Dragon, Sebastian, Gordon, and Arthur are on the cover. In this book, Sebastian and Gordon set off on a quest to loot a dragon's cave, so they can be rich. Instead of becoming rich, they wake up a dragon, which destroys their village. Of course everything turns out right, especially when Sebastian ends up becoming king.

 Cover for "The Last Shot." A western book. Alexander Fuller and Josephine Brian are on the cover. At twenty-four Josephine considers herself a hardened friendless old maid.

Cover for "The Destroyer." The destroyer, or Mr. Destruction or whatever his name was (it was in French and I don't remember the translation.) is at the top of the picture. William Martin, is just below him. George Keenan, is the other boy, and Jack Tagore is the loony detective in the hat.

 Cover for "The Fading Light." A little match girl retelling. 

From left to right: Mary, Nellie and Danny Seri. Nellie is the little match girl that dies. I detest it when the main character dies.

 Cover for "The Cloaked Raider." Stephen Gathron is the cloaked raider. His two crazy companions are the twins Bedwalk and Bedvera Gellison. (My brother came up with the name Bedwalk, his twin had to have similar name, hence, Bedvera.)

In this book, the three of them are raiding their enemies and driving them insane, until they are challenged to attack a fortress (just the three of them, but the mentor tags along later) and they take up the offer.

 Cover for "The Beast Diary."

The Beast and Belle, the merchant's daughter are on the cover.

James is a prince who is greedy, selfish, rude and vain. Belle is his prisoner who he is determined to marry so he become a man again. The only thing is, even if the beast was not so ugly, how can a girl marry a creature who rates her just below the gold! (You'll only get that line if you read the story. :D)

 Cover for "The Seven Daggers of Iske."

Back row: Mary, Prisca and Marcellus.

Front row: Gemma, Eusebius, and Felecity.

Prince Eusebius is determined to clear his mother's name. He doesn't believe she stole the seven daggers. So he inlists the help of a bunch of runaway slaves to track down the daggers and the thief or thieves. Every one of the slaves has the price they are willing to pay, and none of them are asking for freedom!

 Edited cover for "Planet of DEATH."

Derek and Rose are on the top.

Angus Cruthers/Scarface, Jason Hunter and Jane Mardren are on the bottom row.

Jason is thrilled to land a job at DATH, but realizes to late that he has made a mistake in his job choice. Jane, Rose and an alien called Dick have been ejected into deep space with no hope of return. Angus, Derek and all the other soldiers and aliens are trapped on planet Moldrin which is covered in radiation, they also have no hope of escape.

 The Time capsule, which will revert history and make it so Jane Mardren never existed. Whoops, Jason may have messed it up a bit.

Cover for "Protectors of the Kingdom."

Ald the wizard, Dan and Steve the boys, Elvin the red bearded man, Beechun the tree spirit, Grant (the man that looks like Bard) Morte the white fairy assassin, and Silvia the fairy queen.

Dan and Steve are ordinary boys, stepbrothers. At least they thought so. Then a wizard shows up in their village, fire comes out of the sky, they discover Steve's mother is a fairy queen, and Dan's father is something else and things are just about to get crazy.

 Old cover for "Planet of Death." Jane Mardren, and Jason Hunter are in the front, Angus Crutthers is in the back.

 Cover for "Lord Nobody," book one of "The Master of Time."

Peaking out from behind the door: Professor Pigwart, and Detective Gupe (called Teeth) on account of his buckteeth)

People in front of the door: Cyborg Hotfoot Bonebags, Jill Rice, Nottheoneto Nobody, Tegar, and Brooklyn Rice.

Bonebags is a twelve year old cyborg who has gone haywire. Nobody and Tegar, two alien police detectives are after him, when they run into two school girls, a professor, and a detective and gain them as bothersome companions. By following the trail left in three very famous paintings they track down the cyborg. But while looking for a Da Vinci painting Tegar is kidnapped, and they soon realize that it is him and their future selves leaving the clues. To follow them, they have to go back in time, by using an ingenious time door. Unfortunately when they catch up to Tegar in 44 BC he no longer looks like a happy young thirteen year old boy. He looks like a bitter middle aged man.

 Design for Captain Thunder's justice hero suit. Each of the buttons on his belt does something, but it would take to long to say.

 Design for the Shooting Star's Justice hero suit.

 Design for Shadow Man's Justice hero suit. Although the mask is wrong in this picture. He also got an  F minus for this design.

 Cover for "Flying Colors." a historical fiction novel. 

From left to right: Michael Smith, John O'Brien and Carlo Spinner. Three fictional marines in ww2 who were present at the battle of Iwo Jima.

 Cover for "Ghost Island."

Back row: Philip X.P. Marston, and James

Front row: Miranda Rayburn, William Preston, and Alice Keller.

Philip, James and William are on a ship that is attacked by pirates, and they end up as castaways on a ghostly island. I don't remember where Miranda and Alice came from, I wrote this book a year ago.

 Cover for "Burnt" my nonfanfiction. (I don't like "Frozen" and I don't recommend it, but it was fun writing a sequel)

Olaf and Elsa of course. Rowana (Hans' younger sister) and Lief (Kristoff and Ana's son) are behind them.  Elsa is fighting her brother Evan. (Yes I said brother). She thinks he and Rowana kidnapped her nephew (they did, but that's not the point).

Picture I drew for my little brother Kili. He used to be obsessed with Charlie Brown and Edmund. (Edmund from Narnia) So I believe this was a birthday present. Snoop and Charlie Brown fighting along side Edmund. It's called "The Chronicles of the Peanuts War."

Prince Charming's Diary, part 1

I have started the next prince diary. Hopefully this one is not super boring. John is way more laid back then his brothers. Also in this one, there will be more of Jerome and Elise and much less of the older boys. This story takes place a year after the last diary. So all the older boys have kids.
Another thing, Sir Patrono is from "The Red Lion" books, and Ben Horsemaster is the horsemaster's apprentice in the "Shadow Warrior" series.

Prince Charming's Diary

Prince John

Day One

I am nineteen years old, nearly twenty. I have really black ragged hair, that never stays flat, and a beard that refuses to grow beyond a sick wispy thing. I am a very boring person, I will admit. I have read some of my brothers diaries and know that I will have nothing interesting to write. Jaden and his wife Elaine are ruling her father's kingdom now. Justin and his wife Eleanor, are ruling her father's kingdom. James and his wife Belle are ruling what used to be Grandfather's summer palace. Joseph, my twin brother, refuses to rule any place, he would rather be a thief, I am not sure if I should be embarrassed or not. Mother refuses to speak to him anymore. But even he is married. Her name is Rapunzel. Unfortunately she is a thief and was raised by a witch. At least that is what Joseph says, but I have long learned that one can never really believe Joseph. He exaggerates like crazy.

The reason why I have started this diary was because I need someone to complain too. James and Belle have the ugliest little girl ever. Jaden and Elaine have the ugliest little boy. With this kind of record I shudder to imagine what Joseph and Rapunzel's child looks like. Mother will not let them back, so I guess I will never know. Justin and Eleanor have twins, that surprisingly, do not look to bad. But guess who has the job of big loveable boring uncle babysitter? Yes, me! Four children, and three of them boys. I have to take care of them all! I am terrified that there will be more coming. In fact I know another one is coming. Elise says they are all adorable. She must be addled somewhere. Elise is my little sister. Jerome is my little brother. Neither of them are married. Luckily for me, or I would obviously be invited to visit them every other week and end up non-stop babysitting. Now before you all die of boredom, I shall stop writing.

Day 2

Master Won is the most annoying person I have ever known. He has taught all of my siblings and myself how to dance. Only Elise, Jerome and I still take lessons now. But anyway about Master Won. I have made a list of his most annoying quirks.

1. He is shorter then all of us. About 5' 3'' I think.
2. He wears spectacles
3. He talks with a stupid accent
4. He thinks he is charming
5. He has better manners then me
6. He looks down on me
7. He picks favorites
8. He eats really slowly
9. He wears perfume
10. His dancing shoes are hideous.

I could go one, but I believe I have made a point. Anyway, he has been trying to teach Jerome the spin crack for five years now. Jerome stops listening after the first five seconds. By the time Master Won has finished demonstrating with either Elise or his assistant, Jerome will have this glassy look in his eyes, and has just finished putting the finishing touches on three different major battle plans, yet he can remember nothing about the dancing. I learned it by watching it so many times. UGH!

Day 3

My third day writing in my diary of complaints. Imagine that. I have not quit yet. Perhaps there is still hope for me. Anyway, today's complaints. Next to Master Won, the worst person I know is Sir Patrono. First of all that is not a name that can even be pronounced, secondly he is a first rate foreigner who is an even bigger jerk. Here is my list if dislikes about him.

1. He brags about how amazing he is
2. He thinks everyone in his rotten kingdom is better then me
3. He is a foreigner
4. He thinks I am a wimp
5. He freaks out if anyone touches his precious sword
6. Rants about the decline of the seven kingdoms
7. Talks about the good old days nonstop (he cannot be much older then Jaden, what on Royaume is the good old days?)

Imagine that only seven problems. I must admit Sir Patrono is better then Master Won. They did not like each other. This morning, as Sir Patrono was coming out of the stable with his precious sword, Master Won came mincing out of the garden and tripped the knight. Sir Patrono fell flat on his face. I must admit I laughed. Jerome said he would have laughed if it was anyone else except Master Won tripping him. Jerome cannot stand the dancing instructor. I must go now, because Jerome and Elise just shot over the shrubbery, that means I have to babysit someone. Hopefully not the little beast.

Day 4

Oh yes everyone, rejoice another day to listen to my complaints. Sometimes, my dear diary, I think you are my only friend! You certainly are the only one who listens to me. Anyway, today Ben Horsemaster taught me how to ride backwards on a horse. Why do I need to ride backwards on a horse? When Jerome voiced this question, the horsemaster started roaring with laughter. Obviously he thought something was hysterically funny about it. It was not until Jerome and I both threatened to drown him and all the horses, that he finally explained.

“If your horse is galloping away from an enemy, and you have a bow, you can easily sit backwards on the horse and shoot comfortably, instead of twisting around into an uncomfortable precarious position.” he explained. How dumb!

“Did you invent this new miracle of a position?” Jerome asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

“No, an old acquaintance of mine.” Ben said coolly.

Oh, I forgot to give you my list of grievances against the hysterical horsemaster. It will probably be short, because I like him better then the others.

1. He is always laughing and not sharing the joke
2. He is a foreigner
3. He thinks my beastly niece and nephews are adorable
4. Sometimes he teaches us dumb things and thinks they are amazing

So you can see, he less of a list then my other two teachers. But I still would prefer it if I did not have to take any of these lessons. Father says if I am going to rule his kingdom, I have to be smarter then all my brothers combined. It is not fair. Jaden is the real heir. Why do I have to rule in his place, just because Elaine's father had no sons, and made him heir is hardly an excuse. I think he would be quite capable of ruling two kingdoms.
