Reviews
Review – Damien – It is two-thirty AM. I just closed the cover of a book called Emblem Divide after reading its last sentence. The huge smile on my face will take two full days to fade, but I don’t know that yet.
Review – Lisa – If you are looking to get completely lost in an alternate reality of time travel, love and warfare then this is the book for you.
Review – David – It is my opinion that Emblem Divide (or ED to make it easier to refer to) is piece of literacy brilliance.

Zane had gotten up early the next morning. Though his body was still sore all over he was driven by the promise of seeing Mark’s physics experiment. He didn’t expect much, but it was interesting nonetheless. At home, her never got a chance to share his ideas with anyone. Now perhaps he’d met someone who would actually take an interest in his works, like his father had.

“And this will be your room” said Mark as he opened the door to a box shaped, but entirely roomy area. Zane was actually quite excited. He hadn’t had his own ‘room’ since living with his parents. Even though now he had an entire apartment to live in, having just one room that was his own seemed to feel more special.

After reading a post by @am_harte today I felt compelled to comment. Here is what I replied:
Character deaths are an extremely important part of writing and personally something which I believe is extremely difficult to get right. It mustn’t seem lamented or over produced, but must feel entirely natural, even if the ending is a total shock.
Though I love my characters immensely, during the writing of Emblem Divide, I was more scared of finishing the book than ending a single characters life. A death can give a character a whole new meaning, a whole new purpose in life. It’s not just about the next step in the story, it’s also about providing motivation and substance for the rest of the tale to continue.
During the preview readings for Emblem Divide, it was exceedingly satisfying when several members of the panel shouted at me for killing a character. It gave me the feeling that I had affected them in the way I intended, that I had not only shocked them, but left them feeling empty and angry.

Saturday came and Kiele was awoken to the sound of Mark rattling her door. She opened her eyes and blearily looked towards the door. It was the first time he had knocked on her door in a long time, usually he just barged in. He was so rude in fact that Kiele had taken to using the lock on the door whenever she wanted some time to herself. She knew of course that it wouldn’t stop him if he really wanted to force his way into the room, but at least then she would have an early warning of some description.

They rounded a corner, arriving in a secluded car park. Jessie hadn’t been heading there for any particular reason, he just wanted somewhere quiet to interrogate Ruben. The poor boy on the back seat was trembling with fear. He’d managed to delay the inevitable for a good hour or so.

Rubens nostrils were flaring as he thundered towards the terrorist holding Kaitlin hostage. Jessie, now fully aware that it was Ruben who was rumbling along towards him, smiled. He had been right all along. She had lied to him. His mind held onto that thought and he drew back his gun and swiped at her head with the metallic object. It made contact and Ruben’s face turned to one of disgust as he witnessed the horror before his eyes.

“So you believe me now?” said Jessie in the coldest tone possible.
“I guess I have no choice,” came the reply. It was Ruben. He couldn’t believe that it was all coming to pass. There was no way it could have been overheard by anyone. Maybe it had been extracted from his mind under hypnotism, but then if that was the case, why hadn’t they tried to obtain the details of Oken’s secret location earlier.

Over the next few days Kiele had visited Zane a lot. Though it had been during the week, the school had been surprisingly lenient with her attendance and had allowed her to leave early from lessons on several occasions. Of course, the rest of the class knew where she was going, and a cheer of Oooooooooooo, would erupt whenever she did so, but she didn’t really care about them any more. She’d even started to stop turning that embarrassing shade of red, answering back with comments like “You’re obviously all jealous, or stupid, and I just can’t decide which.”

Zane’s condition improved over the next hour or so and by midday he was chatting happily with his visitors, making jokes and embarrassing Kiele. He was on his way to making a full recovery and much quicker than expected it seemed. Already he’d been talking about getting up and walking, but the nurse had warned him she would have to bring out the straitjacket if he tried to do anything other than rest.

When she arrived home it was already approaching eight and she felt the need to sneak in to avoid detection. Mark had told her to be back by ten, and here she was coming home two hours early. Jolie had hired another taxi to take them both home and Kiele was now exhausted. She had fallen asleep in the taxi a few times on the short ride home and now all she wanted to do was get to bed.
