Just Resolution

You would think that a real Creator would be honored and revered; not hunted as an outlaw or duped into thinking they were were just story writers.

Popular author Kala discovers that it's not easy being a Creator, trying to save her created world from her own king's deceit and magic, while also trying to manage her heart and the heart of Glade, messenger from a desperate land who literally worships the ground she walks on.

Riss, another Creator as anxious to come out of hiding as he is to have his teeth pulled, joins them as they leave the Land of the Creation and try to fix up the corruption of a more cunning mind than theirs.

Just Resolution is a touch of fantasy, a touch of drama, a touch of romance, and a touch of action. There is humor and satire as the author protagonists come to terms with storybook cliches playing out before them.

There is not one hero in this story, but several characters who combine to perform an heroic task as they try to undo the work of a corrupt king who has trampled a once-noble tradition of Creation and made it his own personal game of ultimate power.

Can they stop him by using Kala's inherent power as the land's Creator? Or, will the king find ways to take her power and rule as the chief deity of the whole land?

This is not a "fantasy" of monsters and superheroes. It is an adventure of a few endearing characters caught in situations unfamiliar to them, learning about each other and about themselves; about book characters meeting book characters of their own; about the magic of technology and the technology of magic.
