Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding, dressed like the angel of death? Sure!

The Blue Q
By Avelar, Dennis
The Earth itself is truly a remarkable place. It flows with life in every direction, and no one appreciates the joys of being alive more than Dionisio Sedano - a teenage orphan whose greatest passions include his love of learning, his desire to experience every adventure the world has to offer, and the never-ending wonders foundin the Land of Eternal Spring. But the natural balance of the world is in peril. The beings responsible for the wellness of our planet were forced to follow the selfish desires of a single, powerful leader, who is willing to once again destroy it all in order to restore that which was taken from the natural ecosystem. What flies between success and failure is a resplendent bird, who may be the Earth's final chance of victory in the greatest ever battle between the Alpha and the Omega.
