A Lengthily Time Ago: Mana in the Modern World II

By R. McCullough

The landscape is dimly lit by a full, blood red moon hanging low on the horizon. Its light making the trees and plants look afire. A group of humanoids gather around several small fires. All the beings seen have the appearance of undernourishment. From what little is being cooked it's very easy to understand why. Most are watching various... things cooking over the low fires; there are two scrawny rabbits, a large buzzard, two very large horned toads, and several snakes. A small skinny Javelina hangs over the largest fire and is turned occasionally by a young female. Four smaller children play tag as two distant eyes reflect the firelight. A Jaguar patiently watches in evident hope of a child straying... just a bit too far. Numerous howls are heard echoing from out of the dark; some sound as if they're getting louder, closer.

I am a photographer interested in supplying, where possible photographs; FREE OF CHARGE; for eBook author's free books and LOW cost to others (sometimes free for just image credit). I also do book covers and yes; I can often use Photoshop to modify pictures you supply. I have recently published my first novel - Mana (Magic) in the Modern World. I have often wondered what the effects of magic returning to the world. Especially during these 'trying' times. So many people willing to do hurt, physical and mental, to people that in many (most?) cases they do not even know. I think there would be Chaos at first - especially among religious 'fanatics'; those that say it is my way or NO way! contact me at [e-mail] or www.noelbabasfotos.com NOTE- I am currently looking for Beta readers - email for details. Currently working on a sequel which has some D&D players from the first book that stumble into a real quest. I own copyrights to thousands plus am willing to try to photograph others and render the photos into scenes in your eBook.
