About Tehuti
I am an amateur writer of novels, serials, and novellas. Most of my work is in the genres of fantasy, mythology, drama, occult, GLBT, and erotica. As I'm not seeking publication, I offer my work online for free reading. I'm not seeking stylistic critique so much as feedback from people who just like reading what I write. I love hearing what people think of my characters, plots, themes, etc., so if you have any comments or advice on those, feel free to share. I'm not hugely popular and often go many months without hearing from readers so I enjoy all the comments I get! My interests are Ojibwa mythology, Mackinac Island, Egyptian mythology, Jungian symbolism and dream interpretation, ritual crime, fantasy writing, and various other things you can find in my personal bio, available just to the right. Please click to learn more about me and what I'm looking for in terms of readers and potential friends. Feel free to hit me up if you're interested in any of these things, and enjoy my writing! Tar! :) |
Escape From Manitou Island
TITLE: Escape From Manitou IslandGENRES: Fantasy, adventure, drama, mythology. RATING: 13+ SUMMARY: Long ago, Manitou Island, the creation of Gitchi Manitou, was destroyed by an evil manitou out of revenge. Now Megissogwun, long thought dead, has returned and taken away the daughter of Manabozho. His threat is clear: Find Kabeyun, the West Wind, his old enemy and father of Manabozho, and bring him forward to fight again...or else little Turtle's fate will be sealed. Unfortunately...no one knows exactly where Kabeyun is...and he has shown no interest whatsoever in assisting either the Island or his family. Still, Charmian is desperate to try. She and an assortment of new and old friends from the Island set out to seek the Four Winds, to try to get back Turtle, and to defeat the ominous Pearl Feather, before he can destroy Manitou Island yet again...but they're going to have to journey very far from the Island, just to try to save it...and no one quite knows what lies beyond the boundaries of the Sky Tree...
