Harry Potter and the Burden of Becoming (Book 6)
"Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated." -- Coretta Scott King

The story Harry Potter and the Burden of Becoming started as collaborative effort between me and my son. We were trying to craft alternative endings to the "end of Voldemort" on a small fanfic website (five-hundred words or less). Now at a third of a million words, the story has grown considerably! I've tried to structure the story to help discuss many of the issues facing all of us as we each become. In it you'll find discussions of sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, drinking, learning to drive, peer pressure, suicide, death, and perhaps a more blatant elaboration on JKR's prominent themes of racism and inclusion. In BoB you'll find that bad guys can change, and sometimes even the good guys find it hard to be good.

I've tried to do this while keeping the story within the canon, consistent through JKR's fifth year at Hogwarts. Hopefully, there's enough mystery that the story's intriguing, and not so much it becomes confused.

I hope you'll take time to read this love story--action/adventure--mystery, and send me your thoughts. I truly thrive on reviews!

In a world filled with so much hatred, sometimes we need to stop and see the love that lies within each of us.

Harry Potter and the Birth of a New Sun (Book 7)

It's the seventh year and the cyclic battle between Centaur and Dementor once again looms, this time over Hogwarts like an acrid smoke, choking all who breathe. In the midst of war, Harry grows up, discovering how to live and how to die. When the actions of a blonde-haired boy threaten to tip the balance of power, Harry will find his fate and the fate of the magical world lies in the Birth of a New Sun and the love of a beautiful black-haired girl.

Compared to BoB, this story has more in the way of action and battles and centres on what happens when one wizard (Harry) becomes so powerful he can do pretty much whatever he desires. They say absolute power corupts. Will it corupt Harry, or can he find the true meaning of love in this battle weary world of ours?

Epilogue News: It's April 2011 and, yes, I've done nothing on the eplilogue for a year. I've decided to give it a try to push it out. Funny how easy it is to get off a train and how hard it is to get back on.
