Tales from the Oddside 6: Basement Horrors

-

 *This hospital where I work is haunted. I can count three places where I have either seen or sensed something. Of those, there is one where I will not go until noon or later, because there is a dark entity there and I want the sun to have some power over the day before I have to step onto that floor. Fortunately, for now, it is under construction - though that is just upsetting the entity. That floor is his, and he does not like people intruding. Even the contractors working on the unit have seen / sensed him.

He is a story in and of himself. I've written a little about him in my novella "Room 214". This story has a slightly different origin, but I believe he planted the seed when I went past his floor in the elevator one day. I'm not sure what to think about this one, but I knew I would write it. Ultimately because it's a good idea, but it's darker than what I normally write. I also don't like zombies, so the imagery bothered me a lot when the idea first came to me. Make of that what you will."


Again, don't want to spoil. Let's just leave it at basements are rare in Florida - especially close to the beach - but what would happen if there was one under a hospital, where it was rumored persistent problem patients (say that three times fast) would be thrown at a doctor's instruction? Keep in mind, no one ever questions doctors.

Introduction

Hello everyone, I’m Lexxie Scott. As you can tell from the blog’s title, I’m an author and this blog is about my books - published and in progress. I’ve been writing since I was around twelve or so, definitely seventh grade. I always had a notebook with me and would write in class once my reading, test, or other work was finished. That’s also when I created two of my characters; Tiffany and Joe Franks, along with a number of the agents they work with. Remarkably, however, they are not in the first book I published. Those stories will never see the light of day, but a few of the ideas might make their way into something more. My hope here is to talk about each book I have published, maybe share some information not in the books, and some background on the characters and locations. I’ve not had much chance to talk with my readers for my novels, and I will answer questions and comments as well, but will not respond to any flames. I write fan fiction as well (under a pen name) and am u

Tails from the Oddside 2: Point of View

-
*I work in a hospital as a Security Officer. One of our many and varied duties is maintaining the morgue. That is to say, we sign the deceased in and release them to the correct funeral home when the family makes their wishes known. I think that almost anyone knows hospitals are haunted. There are certain areas that are more apt for paranormal activity than others. The morgue is one of them. I was walking back to the office one morning and started wondering what the ghostly point of view is. Since I can't ask them, I came up with this.* Given the topics of the previous two novellas and some of my other works, I think it's fairly obvious I believe in ghosts. We'll go into a much deeper discussion during one of the series, but I do believe and have seen two - and possibly a ghost cat. I'm still not certain about that last one, but my cat (the only animal in the house) was with me when I saw the shape move. Our morgue really doesn't have a haunted feel to it. The

Another dragon series

-
This particular series only has two published books, no, wait, I tell a lie, three. But it doesn't have a catchy series name like some of the others do. This is the series where Tiffany and Joe feature, though the main focus is on Tiff's twin sister Lexxie and her bonded dragon, Alinska. I can't talk much about these books without giving lots away, but the dragons are about the same size as a Maine Coon cat and, especially Alinska, like to ride on their human's shoulders. It gives them a better view of what's happening and also allows them to comment as events happen. There's also talk about elemental balance and protecting the planet, but in different ways than the Consequences Series. Only one more series to talk about and we'll get to the fun stuff. If you'd like, go search my books on amazon by author name and comment which book / series you'd like me to start out with. If I don't hear from anyone, I'm going to start with a stand-alon
