Aiden Brande

And the Book of the Four Mages

Aiden Brande is dreading his Sophomore year of high school. On only the second day of school, his classmates seem to think that he's some sort of freak. After all, he did ignite the entire Boy's locker room, activate the sprinkler system, and burst his way into the gymnasium engulfed in flames only to walk away without a single burn mark . But as Aiden soon discovers, this is his gift....

Magic. It exists beyond the books and movies. It's as real as anything else. In fact, it's like living in a brand new world. He quickly discovers the pleasures of magic. Power, fun, friendship. However, it comes at a price. Secrecy, frustration, betrayal, and even death. Magic is nothing like he thought it was, and his new obligation to foil the plans of a powerful murderer will forever change his life.

It begins!

Okay, after some asking around, the popular vote seems to be for me to write my first fiction novel series via this blog!  Just like I said in the previous post, I will be uploading around ten to fifteen pages per week for everyone to read and comment on or give feedback if one does so desire.

With that being said, I have a bit of planning done for the first book and some pages written here and there, but a majority of this book will be written week-to-week.... meaning that I will be writing the next chapter literally as you are reading the previous one!  Will it be perfect? Probably not.  Will it be fun and entertaining? Absolutely.

I will do my absolute best to upload each segment at 10:00pm EST on Monday  each week.  Obviously, that wonderful thing called life frequently likes to interfere.  I may slow down.  Some weeks might not have a submission.  I may even develop writer's block.  Like I said, I'm not perfect.  I think this will be the fun part, though.  You will all get to see a part of what I go through during the writing process... from good ideas to bad ones, to re-written chapters, and scrapped chapters.  One thing that you will all learn quite quickly is that this is *not* easy.

So what are we in for?

 Aiden Brande completely dreads beginning his Sophomore year of high school with thoughts of good grades, college, and careers looming over his head.  To make matters worse, his classmates now seem to think that he's some sort of freak.  After all, he had ignited the entire Boy's locker room, activated the sprinkler system, and burst his way into the gymnasium engulfed in flames and walked away from everything without the slightest trace of burnt skin or cooked clothing.  But Aiden discovers that this is his gift....  
Magic.  It exists beyond the books and movies.  It's as real as anything else. In fact, it's like living in a brand new world.  He quickly discovers the pleasures of magic.  Power, entertainment, career opportunities, friendship.  However, it comes at a price.  Secrecy, frustration, betrayal, and even death.  Magic is nothing like he thought it was, and suddenly, it's not as desirable as it used to be.
