A Bad Unicorn Just Impaled (and Ate) This Post!

The tenth year of Storymakers is underway, and I have to say, this has the making of being the best one yet. Seeing so many faces from the Blogosphere, in person, sure warms a writer's heart. Now, I had every intention of writing up an overview of yesterday, with pictures and all that good stuff, but ... I can't. A Bad Unicorn ate my post!

It wasn't Max Spencer's idea to fight robots, lead an army, or save the world—it just so happens that he's the only living person who can read the most fantastical book ever written: The Codex of Infinite Knowability. The Codex is no ordinary book, and among other things, it describes a unicorn named Princess the Destroyer.

Princess the Destroyer is no ordinary unicorn. She loves nothing more than hunting down, killing, and eating other creatures. After all, what's the point of having a sharp horn on your forehead if you don't use it for destructive purposes? And right now Princess has a very definite purpose: Find Max and retrieve the lost Codex for an evil sorcerer and his mysterious master. If she can do that, she's been promised an all-the-humans-you-can-eat buffet in Texas.

Stuck in another world and with a carnivorous unicorn on his trail, Max must find the courage to save himself, his friends, and, oh yeah...the entire human race.

I'm just mess'n with ya. I'm beat after hosting a dinner gathering, that and I forgot to put a new battery in my camera. Epic failure!

But what isn't epic failure is Mr. Platte F. Clark, the fearless team leader for my Publication Primer group. Far from it. I just had to give a Shout-Out to him and his hilarious MG book that some call the fantasy equivalent of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

And here I thought I was done buying books this year ...

No worries, space cadets! I'll be back Monday with a full recap of awesome. That is, if the leftover pizza doesn't kill me first ...

I'm David, and FYI ... Codex just means "very old book."
