    About this ebook

    It's quiet this morning in the small city of Clovis, NM as few people are out and about at 6am on a Sunday. A strange looking cloud or... something begins to form very near the ground, almost in the middle of the street. It's an upright rotating oval cloud approximately thirty feet high, maybe twenty feet at its widest point. An old car, weaving side to side, comes up the road, bumps up to disappear into the cloud. It does not reappear on the other side of the cloud which has now thickened to four, or more, feet deep. Shortly afterward, a black reptilian head came into sight from the cloud. That’s followed by its body with wings folded against the sides and a long narrow tail seen as the creature completely emerged. Its eyes are red, almost glowing as it fully emerged, stops, and looks side to side. Stretching out its wings briefly, it emits a loud roar and begins to move down the center of the street. Its glowing red talons partly melt the asphalt, causing small tendrils of smoke to rise. Screams are heard as cars crash and several figures are seen running away.

    I am a photographer interested in supplying, where possible photographs; FREE OF CHARGE; for eBook author's free books and LOW cost to others (sometimes free for just image credit). I also do book covers and yes; I can often use Photoshop to modify pictures you supply. I have recently published my first novel - Mana (Magic) in the Modern World. I have often wondered what the effects of magic returning to the world. Especially during these 'trying' times. So many people willing to do hurt, physical and mental, to people that in many (most?) cases they do not even know. I think there would be Chaos at first - especially among religious 'fanatics'; those that say it is my way or NO way! contact me at mrmac@nxlink.com or www.noelbabasfotos.com NOTE- I am currently looking for Beta readers - email for details. Currently working on a sequel which has some D&D players from the first book that stumble into a real quest. I own copyrights to thousands plus am willing to try to photograph others and render the photos into scenes in your eBook.
