About

 

My Name is TC McKinney and I am an Author and Poet with multi talent in different fields. I am not only an Author and Poet but also an editor, formatter, website designer, marketer, video editor etc. I am into creative Arts of all kind including Art, Music, Crafts, Poetry etc. My life is spent daily doing for others. I have an Intention that marks my character as unique though it is strongly an intention that most develop over time. I am always searching for new and better ways to improve myself and what I do. I love meeting new people who have the same intention as me though if not I will not judge how or where they stand in there life due to much diversity. This is what I like to promote, Diversity in its fullest form with unity strands that bind us together for the common good. I am now 25 and have a strong passion for life and I seek each day as if it is my last. Many times have I been deemed strong willed and utterly annoying due to my interest and perception of life. I dont wish to change how I am th, though I am always up for correction when and where it is needed in my life. Constantly I am a critcizer of my own work and life looking for new ways to go beyond the box of my five senses. I have days and nights where I defend my beliefs and I can be rather more of a pest than a helper, but when the facts are straight I do my best to correct those inner and outer qualities that need to be corrected for my progress. Never have I responded well to people who have a thirst for telling me I am just plain wrong or that I should not do something but do embrace a comforting of helpful hints though I may not catch the hints and fall on the ground wondering why am I where I am. This does play a big part in my life because if I come to error I must be in a constant challange with myself to realize that there is a force that pushed me in this direction and I like to step up to this challange and take it a step forward. Life is a lesson, a game, a way to perfection, correction so that I can percieve clearly where I can place my next footing in the sands of time.

Description

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em></strong></p>

You have a beautiful form. The flow was great. Wonderful, just plain wonderful. ~the fraz bforibus commented on My Only 01-03-2010 sounds like the offspring of lucifier, very dark and mysterious, but loving and complimenting. great job ad excellent flow bforibus commented on Everything Except 01-03-2010 i enjoyed the poem all the way through except for one stanza and that was the one that included the influenced line. i was hoping that it was more ... unique word play like the rest of the lines it felt out shadowed by the poem as a whole. either way i enjoyed it and it was still a interesting concept. great job
