I was fortunate to meet John C. Mannone though the Facebook group, Science Fiction and Poetry Association (SFPA) and he has ben a supportive mentor ever since. Being an author that is still trying to get their name out there can be intimidating. And John has been kind enough to offer me his advice after being published in numerous publications. I wanted to repay his generous guidance but highlighting one of his poems entitled Ursa Major. John C. Mannone has work in Artemis Jo

I found myself relating strongly to the themes of the musical. The female protagonist Christine wants to use music to get over the loss of her father, while the antagonist, the Phantom, wants to be accepted and loved despite his jarring appearance. He uses creativity through music to express his feelings instead of bottling them up inside. Over the years, there has been numerous adaptations of the original novel, The Phantom of the Opera, written by Gaston Leroux. Deformed si

After watching Disney’s, The Little Mermaid, during the live production on Fox in honor of its Thirtieth anniversary. The film is an adaption of the story, The Little Mermaid written by Danish author Hans Christian Anderson. Aside from the name of Ursula’s two henchmen Flotsam and Jetsam, not much is revealed about them. I thought it would be interesting to portray the loyalty and dedication they feel for Ursula. Emberly Lily Summers is a native to Baltimore, Maryland and has

In modern literature, centaurs are guardians or creatures gifted with strength, astronomy, and healing. Some deceptions portray centaurs more human with animalistic tendencies or act like wild savage monsters. Yet they contain the same physical traits of an entity that has the upper body of a human and the lower body and legs of a horse.

Staring into the orange and yellow glow of fire has always been a lure to me. Watching its flickering flames dance in a gust of wind has served as a tranquil fixature to meditate with. Fire can be used for warmth and light to penetrate the darkness, yet it can also be used to destroy consuming anything in its path crumbling it to ash. The Queen of Molten Fire The bodies continue to burn drenching the earth’s soil with blood yet the woman bends, cupping the liquid fire to her
