Wrote a novel "The Grand New Delhi Escapade" and you can find it anywhere in the world at the usual online outlets if interested. I spent many hours here frolicking for years. A thank you to quadraptor and all his wonderful ways and writings. He stepped up the writing here that helped me decide to go ahead and give it a try. I hope someday he takes the next step as well and makes a book his cool stuff. Tis a great place to experiment and think here since everyone is so supportive and kind. So write on, draw on, screenshot on and Dream Big Dreams Your Way. Here is the summary.

In the adventure novel The Grand New Delhi Escapade, Sharlene McGowan has the uncanny ability of getting into trouble without trying. Losing her mom three years ago leads to her move to India to be with her well-known father, Dr. Greg McGowan. When Sharlene insists upon going to the marketplace one day, her father has important meetings at the New Delhi embassy. He asks his assistant Sajiv Karran to accompany Sharlene and keep her safe. While at the Sarojini Market, a bomb explodes at the embassy, making Sharlene and Sajiv take shelter at his cousin's home. That evening they are met by Colonel Sanjit Kapoor, an army soldier assigned to the embassy to take care of special envoys. Together they must unravel the bombing threat. Mary Page lives in Baytown, Texas. After facing numerous personal challenges, she met a young man from India on Facebook who shared the tragedy of his brother's death at a young age. The author had lost a daughter at birth. "We talked about when someone dies it is the realization of what they they miss in life afterwards. We thought about the people they do not meet, the stories they miss, and the events they never participate in. India has a different way of looking at things that helped me sort through my issues." She is writing the sequel.

...

The doe walked through the Forest
On a quiet afternoon
Just to find some fun around
And humming a lovely tune

Bay stopped and noticed something strange
On a boulder it seemed to spark
She approached and looked with curiosity
At the strange glowing mark

With a quick poke of her hoof
The mark granted her power
Before she realized what had happened
She created a giant red flower!

Bay gasped at the sight right then and there
Before she discovered her gift
She had gained the powers of the Twin Gods
As the Forest began to shift

The sky turned purple and the sun went down
And twilight came upon the land
As great big flowers bloomed all around
Many quite large and grand

With a laugh and a dance, the clouds rained bubbles
And the Pond became the color of gold
The trees dripped maple and honey sweets
And many more things to be told

The night soon came with a great meteor shower
And bright rainbows that filled the sky
As all around every deer raised their head
To marvel at the sight so high

But then it was time to give the gift back
As Michael and Auriea soon came
The power now gone and the Forest changed back
Everything that was once the same

But they smiled to Bay and asked her this
"What would you like to stay?"
She thought quietly and then replied
"Can we keep the bubble rain?"

The gods nodded and the sky bubbled once more
For the deer to all dance and play
And for finding the Mark of the Gods'
We had but to thank our Bay
