The Brotherhood: In Depth

Type: fantasy Earth

A world where the Millennium Bug was real, only instead of it affecting computers it gave some children born from one minute past midnight on the 1st of January 2000 powers. Some people, a group who called themselves the Brotherhood, already knew about these children, and had been preparing for them for decades, as they didn't know exactly when the powers these children had would manifest. For some it happened early - the shapeshifters, for example, found themselves in a very difficult position between the ages of six and twelve, but fortunately they soon found themselves a home with Leonard, the son of the man who first found out about the Millennium Children, thanks to a crystal that he stole from the Brotherhood when he walked away from them.. He taught them how to use their abilities, the same way the others of the Brotherhood did, even though they'd fought over what they should do with the children.

The Afterlife: In Depth

Type: indescribable

All of the stories in this collection are set in my version of the afterlife, which may or may not be real. That does partly depend on whether you believe in an afterlife to begin with and then, unexpectedly, I've started writing about angels, who seem to have come into existence because people believed in them, so if you don't believe in angels it might be difficult to connect with this collection. Often the deities visit too, as some have a connection to the afterlife, like Hades, while others connect to the spirits within it. Most of the spirits choose to gather together, making death as much like life as they can, which is something that the spirit guides often try to convince them not to do. Being dead is about learning lesson you couldn't learn during an incarnation, but most of the spirits are much happier not thinking of themselves as dead.
