My opinion on the book is that I feel justice was never served. What do you think about the story for those who read it?

A strong gust of wind pushed at the boy, making his brown hair flop from one side to the other, and sending shivers through his body. He was wearing a bulky gray coat, bundled up inside it as if there was no end to this autumn cold. His eyes were of a piercing green, almost glowing in the dusky light of the evening. To passersby he seemed nothing more than a poor boy, no older than fifteen, wandering the streets to avoid going home. In the uncaring city, this was one of many ways of life.
But the boy seemed determined as he pushed through the icy gusts of wind. Winter was coming on quick, snow threatening to split the sky, windows already laced with frost. He passed a couple walking arm in arm, laughing, with their heads close together. He pushed away the sight of it, and plodded on. He darted across a busy street, dodging cars carelessly, as if he didn’t care if they hit him.
Standing on the other side of the street, he stared up and down the row of dusty storefronts. A bakery, a hair salon, a thrift shop, a butcher. He shook his head, muttering something. Then his attention fell on the last shop on the street.
A sign swung back and forth, a plaque of lacquered wood hanging from rusty hinges. It read, in crooked lettering, “House Of The Mystic Arts”. A star, painted as if an afterthought, was its only adornment.
The boy’s eyes filled with light as he read the sign, and he was immediately running to it, as if nothing in the world could stop him from getting there. He slipped through the scattered groups of people, shouting barely-heard apologies over his shoulder as he ran.
He reached the storefront, a plain window that lacked cleaning or care. Inside, he could see a dark room, and a teenaged girl with wild chestnut-colored hair standing behind an antique desk. Her eyes were sapphire blue, and they met his as he peered into the store.
Then, the boy slipped inside, pushing the heavy oak door and stepping into the dark room beyond. He could not hide his excitement.

Bruce Fergusson is one of my favorite fantasy writers. His two novels from the Six Kingdoms series broke very rule in fantasy literature. But after his brilliant Mace of Souls, I never heard from him again. Does anyone know if he'll ever return to the Six Kingdoms, or write another book??

The gravel crunches rhythmically with each step. The scent of dew soaked grass and damp wood fills the air. Lingering in mouth were the tastes of stale coffee and cigerette smoke. The near silence was broken when The Old Man spoke:

"It is quite simple to change the world" as he reaches down and gets a handful of sand, letting it slowly sift through his fingers "See?"

I said nothing just walked. I could feel his eyes move downward into a sorrowful stare. A pain of guilt hit me in the gut like a fist.

Right now I'm starting a new "book". I've always thought about whether to write the details page by page and take it slowly or to write the basic plot and come back and add details? Is there a better way?

It was a book I read in the seventh grade, and it's been a good 4 or 5 years since then, so I don't remember the title or author. I'm not sure why, but I just want to know what it was. It was a fiction book and I think it took place in the 40s. The story is told through the eyes of a twin, who's sister is the favorite in the family. Her twin had complications at birth, and everyone told the story about the night she was born and how everyone was worried, but when the other girl asked they always said something along the lines of "You caused us no trouble at all". I also remember the girl wishing she was a monster so that her family would pay attention to her. The girl also sent on song lyrics for a competition, and got an automated reply back. I also remember that the two girls were reading on the Sabbath (Sunday) and they turned on the radio even though they weren't allowed to and heard about the start of WW2, or else D-Day, I can't remember which.

I had heard it is the recently found Book of Judas, circa AD 30. I don't mean wall painting or stone tablet or sarcphagus etching etc. I mean a written document, like a paper book or papyrus leaf writing.
