Part One: Dawn's Break

Prologue to a Dream

Delicate bare feet cautiously slip out from under the warmth and protective feeling of the large comforter that covered a small bed. A bed that sat snug in the corner of a tiny room, covered in the many stuffed animals that proudly guarded their princess throughout the night. Beady eyes watched the girl as they wondered which would be chosen to accompany the girl on her

Well, I have not seen you around these parts before. Are you new to town?

Ahhh, I see... We do not get many travellers around Holland-Greystoke much these days, not after the happenings.

An alarm clock came to life in the early morning hours of the day, screaming its call for its owner to stop dreaming and enter reality once again. A long slender hand emerged from a cocoon of blankets and gave the alarm a quick smack to shut the infernal machine up. With a mo

Written by Kathryn K Williams

Note: This is a side story from my Shadowlanders Series, however it is a stand alone short that does not require reading A Shadowlander's Dream in order to understand. For those who have read the Shadowlanders stories it will open up more insight into the mysteries of the shadowlands and the worlds there after. Enjoy.

As I lay upon the icy marble floor with this frosty mist drifting over my head I think to myself. Did the pills really opened the door to this dreadful place or my own mind. Maybe by telling you the tale of how I got where I

Short Stories:
Short Story: Greenwood Welcome to Greenwood
Written by Kathryn K Williams

In the seven years that I've lived in Toronto I've rode the subway trains many times and it is my main mode of transportation, aside from my own feet that is. I rarely go near Greenwood station; in fact I've only stepped upon its platform once as far as I can remember. Every time I pass the station however, and read its name written in large green tiles across the walls, I find myself chuckling and saying to myself, "Welcome to Greenwood. Everyone off." Now most would not understand this inside joke of mine unless you have lived in my shoes for a few years, and I would not recommend it. You
Haunted Hearts Haunted Hearts
By Kathryn K Williams

Toni’s shaky hands struck a wooden match against its house and a small flickering flame came to life. Hastily her hands moved flame to a crumpled paper, praying for it to catch.  Reds and yellows hungrily consumed their meal of newspapers and broken down furniture. Their mesmerizing dance sent glimmering streams of light that bounced off hard sad eyes of the nearby teenaged girl. A smile crossed her rain-drenched face, as the flame grew larger with every passing minute, devouring all she had placed within the fireplace hearth and filling the room with the fire’s warming glow.

Journal Entry: Tue May 22, 2012, 7:51 PM





YURI ALERT!!!
I have an urgent yuri update for you all to look at. I was watching the second episode of Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos and was going to leave a review of it for next week, but I must show you this. I posted a bunch of screens from the middle of the episode and there is indeed yuri... I mean... geez... Check out my tumblr if you wish to see what I mean:[link]

I'm off to work when this episode is finished and will post a full review of what I can next week.

Life
Sorry about that little outburst earlier. It is weird, the moment I decided to post the page here my heart rate calmed down and my breathing steadied. I'm not sure why that place caused such a panic attack like that, but I'm almost certain it has to do with the fact that popularity isn't my goal and the site went against that.

Plus my fans are here. I know many don't feel it, but I do enjoy the community here. Sure there are a lot of problems, those hate groups for instance, but at least here I have groups of like minded people that I can go to. I've never stayed this long on one site, most of the time I leave after a couple months to a year. I'm a wanderer after all. Funny how I started this DA page shortly after settling down and getting married. I wonder if there is some kind of link... probably not, it's just me rambling.

Thanks for all your continuing support. Now to what people are really interested in.

Anime/manga News
I'm glad to hear that some of you are finding my weekly anime news interesting and helpful. I'm thinking I may post some of my finding on my Tumblr [link] however I do like keeping it strictly to my own works, but that is what DA is for and I do tend to find a lot of interesting stuff out there. Anyways the news.

Bamboo Blade - I was reading this a while back but never really got into it. Kim wanted something else to watch as we wait for Sankarea to conclude. The story is about a poor high school teacher who is the head of the kendo club. He is accepts a bet with an old school friend of his to put together an all girl's kendo squad and fight his girl's kendo team. The only problem is most of the kendo students have graduated and all he has left are two girls, one who has disappeared. So begins the search for a team of 5 to compete at kendo.

The first he finds is a rather cute, short haired, shy little girl named Tamaki, Tama for short, who is the daughter of of the head of a kendo dojo and a kendo prodigy. However, she doesn't care about joining any clubs, actually her only interest, other then kendo, is anime. Her father thinks she should join to make friends, seeing as she is a rather solitude girl.

Needless to say the series is filled with many insane and strange girls. Every time I think we have seen it all, another character comes to top it. It is rather crazy at times, like a group of girls who get excited when Tama hits them during practise and they all fight to be hit by her. Another girl who enjoys beating on people, yet another who likes to watch the violent one beat on people... I could go on, there are a lot of rather sadistic characters.

Yuri elements? There are some possibilities and one down right strange and creepy lesbian. It does appear there is a strong relationship between the two senior members,  Kirino and Sayako, but it probably won't go anywhere.

K-on vol 5-6 - Speaking of yuri elements, my god the story between Saitou and Mugi just seeps with yuri potential it is unreal. Kakfly is just about as bad as Yoshimizu when it comes to setting up us yuri fans with possibilities, Probably worse... but never entirely coming through.  It was interesting learning about what brought about Mugi's yuri vision among other things. To think the main girls are in collage now and still no boys in sight. Will Kakfly just leave things in the air and allow us to keep dreaming, or will we find our dreams destroyed in the end... I hope for more then just friendships will finally emerge, but guessing that the most we will get is more scenes to cause us to day dream.

Gaming News
Diablo 3, Diablo 3, Diablo 3
Kim has been allowing me to use her machine every now and then to play some Diablo 3. I can't wait to get another machine so we can play together. I just love the fact that many side quests are random so going through the game over and over doesn't get tiresome. I'm always finding something new and interesting. I also enjoy the destructive powers of the Wizard. I like the fact that you can destroy objects and get exp for causing more damage. I wipe out entire rooms just for the fun of it. It is very Amusing and satisfying. I'm still on Act one myself so it will take a long time to get through normal mode, but still enjoyable.

Well that is all from me. Sorry for the length of this journal.

If you are seeking help or have questions regarding your sexuality or relationship issues then someone at one of these clubs might be able to help you more then I could, :icongbsta::iconlgbt-on-da::icondapride: If you send me a message regarding this stuff don't get upset with me because I don't have the answers. I'm just human. I simple write and draw these stories, that doesn't make me all knowing when it comes to this stuff.

Words from a Kat



I am a disabled lesbian survivor who suffers from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to a traumatic past that left me hospitalized for a short while. My battles with cPTSD lead me into a world of art and writing as I tried to find ways to express myself better and help myself cope with the madness within. By all accounts I’m considered clinically insane, but I keep myself together with bits of string and sticky tape.

During my struggles to cope with my mental issues I started to create several stories, starting with my first manga series A Shadowlander’s Dream, which was the tale of a girl lost between the worlds of Dream and Reality. This story gained a small fan following that lead me to writing my first novel Dreaming of Another Day, which is the story of my high school years and how I survived some of the worst times in my life. The story was written to help me get out a dark secret that I’d been baring and help put my thoughts onto paper.

Though these stories I met many others people like myself. They claimed the story helped them in their own recovery and showed them the strength they needed to continue on. Hear this gave me the strength as well as a purpose. I wanted to tell more stories. Wanted to create worlds that people could be absorbed into, characters they could relate to and more then anything help them realize that they were not as alone in this world as we all thought.

It was also through these stories that I met my beautiful and lovely wife, Kimberly ~theredwolf13 . It is because of her I was able to post many of my stories that I felt ashamed of or embarrassed about. She encouraged me to write more and return to art after a 5 year break away from it all, after a slight mental breakdown. She is my muse and reason I am alive today, my soulmate and my love. Without her I'd never complete so many novels or start work on my new Yuri manga series Inside OuT

Since being together I’ve returned to my old goals, striving to create works that people can relate to in one form or another. I work much slower then I did all those years ago and my works may not be the best, but I put my all into everything I do and love doing it. I'm glad so many enjoy what I do and thank you all for reading or looking at my works. I hope to have many more tales for you all in the coming future. I may take a month or two off from time to time as I deal with the insanity in my head and life, but one thing is for certain. I love what I do and I'm never going to quit doing it.

Thanks for dropping by my page and reading this
