{Book One in the Sketch Rift Trilogy} Charles Hemingway is a spy. Only the most cunning and clever actions will carry him to his end goal, as with any spy. But Hemingway is no ordinary spy- he manipulates time itself to bring himself to his destination, the new home of his target: a hero from years ago called Samuel Lawrence, or Soal. A year has passed since Soal's journey back in time with Irene Grammor, the Green Phantom, and they have begun to blend in with the people of the time. But Hemingway's signals begin to penetrate their lives, and with the blow of four mysterious numbers: 9, 1, 0, and 1, they are pulled into a trap set by the spy. This trap will send them to Hemingway's age, an age once dominated by the malice of an unspeakably desperate corporation. An age in which one threat reigns supreme, the one with which Hemingway has matched them for a battle: the Time-Bound Thief. And the numbers that have been etched into Soal's mind bring further meaning than the purpose of the spy, and prognosticate a mysterious fate that Soal must face, or die. ATTENTION: This is the seventh total book in the Sketch Saga. The first entry is The Sketch: the Voyage of Soal. You must read books one to six before reading this one.…

{Book Two in the Sketch Rift Trilogy} Samuel Lawrence, or Soal, is revolted by the mere premise of returning to the bleak metropolis of Hendera. But these hopes are laid to rest when sentinels of the enigmatic Charles Hemingway draw his reentry, and in little time, his purpose is fixed. Hendera has long depended on the Eternal Crusade to solve their numerous ailments, much to the resentment of its conflicted leader, Count. But with the Time-Bound Thief restricted from achieving its inevitable past destiny, the Crusade has a new commander, whose twisted mind and beguiling atmosphere poisoned the wells of the Crusade's credibility. Through this character trickle the dreaded truths of an age-crossing communicator, the meaning of the Sulukridger race, and the reality of September First itself. And when Soal and his affiliates interpret the actuality of these revelations, their findings will send them on a shocking journey across the Rift, from which there is no turning back. ATTENTION: This is the second book in the third trilogy in the Sketch Saga, which begins with The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal.…

Among them, Samuel Lawrence, or Soal, has been presented with the true method of the defeat of the Bane of the Armorillion on 9101 by the Ambassador: the Reacsoa Hand, the pen of the Cofontors, which can "write" any wrong.

Amidst everything, the futility of defeating Sulukrita is realized by the weary Master Bringer. And when September First dawns, victory will require much more than just a feather pen.

Sketcher's Row is an anthology of stories from the quaint, mundane life of the awkwardly named Soal, a blank slate attending a primary school packed with similarly absentminded children. Nothing ever changes there. Nothing ever will.A/N: This is technically the highly abridged, censored outline of the real story, which I plan to write someday. It is all adapted from my original Sketch Saga.…
