Sophie Briggs and the Crystal Contraption

Sophie Briggs and the Crystal Contraption

The second semester has begun for the Life Elemental, Sophie Briggs and her friends at the famous School of Roots and Vines. Things are changing and it may not be for the best.

Even Sophie is changing, though she doesn’t see her new abilities, yet.

Just what is going on?

A new girl comes to the school and it’s not too long before the fabled tree of Thicket Hall is turning against Sophie and her friends and no longer trusts them.

Someone new has stepped up, but who?

Something’s not right and Sophie and her friends are going to have to figure out what’s going on or it just might be the end of the school and the old oak tree – permanently.

Is the new girl behind this? Is she the new Marcus?

Can Sophie figure out what’s going on and get her friends to work together to stop it in time?

Okay, I'm a late bloomer who's a big DC comics fan and spent my childhood summers on the Jersey shore in the U.S. but have had a weird wanderlust to live in different parts of America ever since. That's enough about me. Need to feel inspired today? Looking for something to make you root for an ordinary hero? I'm all about that in everything I write.

I love a good tale that makes me wonder about things and I love a story even more that leaves me feeling inspired or like I'm capable of doing more than I realized. That's my goal with everything I've ever written. Some of the stories I tell involve twisting, turning thrillers and others have a lot of magic.

There's something to be said for getting lost in another world and coming out the other side feeling a little better about yourself or the possibilities in front of you. That's basically the best part of life in a nutshell, no matter what kind of story I'm setting out to tell.

Thank you for checking out my stories! There's more at www.oriceran.com.
