Week 2 of the Blog O Rama hosted by Deana Barnhart is under way with a Story Chain. We are given assignments and times to post by, basing our post on the excerpt(s) before ours, and each person has to come up with something in as little as 15 min. With the creative juices of so many writers, the final story is sure to be great!!

For the excerpt before me go to A.E. Martin

“You did it!” Roddan said.


Dio eyed Roddan over the flames and gasped. His shirt was missing and strange markings glowed upon his chest.
