Joshua Calkins-Treworgy

My name is Joshua T. Calkins-Treworgy. I'm a 26 year old father of 2 beautiful little girls in Eden, New York State. I'm a new author, and intend to make writing my career, so that my wife won't have to work so much, and I won't have to work in the work-a-day world forever. Also because I love storytelling. My writing is in the realm of high fantasy, a genre for which I have a deep love. I've been reading fantasy and sci-fi novels for years, and among my favorite authors are Stephen R. Donaldson (the Covenant novels), Terry Brooks, Terry Pratchett, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Terry Goodkind. R.A. Salvatore's okay, but I'm not so big on him. I also enjoy the writings of Stephen King, Clive Barker (the old stuff), and Dean Koontz. I'm big on video games, particularly RPGs (role playing games). This stems in part from a long-lived love of pen-and-paper role playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons. In short, I'm a huge nerd. In addition, I'm also a huge Otaku, or anime/manga freak. (Inuyasha is my favorite, along with Negima: Magister Magi Negi, and Bleach)

Roads Through Amelia: Inspired

By Joshua Calkins-Treworgy

Birdsong rang through the woods that morning in the area around the township of Doyel, Michigan. The deep, loamy aromas of spruce and pine deeply soothed those walking the various hiking paths.

Well, most of them.

Thomas Burns did not count himself among their number at the moment. That was largely due to the fact that he was at that wonderful morning moment, thumping down a steep hill after tripping on a tree root hidden under a gathering of leaves.

Fuck, thump, Mother, thump, Nature! Crash! Sidelong into a tree at the hill’s bottom he struck, his body sending urgent messages to his brain and back again. Helpful, blaring little tidbits of information, mostly along the lines of ouch and mighty hell that hurt!

Burns congealed loudly before rolling over and pushing up to his knees.
