About this ebook
Stories of being transported to other worlds aren't at all uncommon. In this tale things get a little backwards, as earth is the alien planet. A young Mystic has an unfortunate crossing of paths with his professor, and ends up bewildered and stranded on Earth. After growing up on a world where magic, and not technology is the basis of social power this planet presents him with near endless possibilities.

I'm an avid reader, and have been ever since I fell into it by an oddity of fate in the sixth grade. My best friend wouldn't quit talking to me about a fantasy series that he was reading. I borrowed the first book from him to guard myself from any further ranting (he couldn't very well talk about parts of the series I hadn't read yet, could he?). I ended up reading the book almost by accident. I couldn't stop reading, and I still can't.My wife and I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma - along with our small army of pets, and our books.

Welcome to Tulsa
Bartholomew was late for class. That was bad enough on a regular day, but today… Today it was catastrophic. Professor Millweed was lecturing today, and her punishments were a matter of legend. Students had been known to leave her office in stretchers after such offenses.
At least he was well versed on the topic. That had to count for something.
Professor Millweed would be discussing the core theories for tier three runic magic. Bartholomew was competent up to tier five, and working towards six. The tiers represented the increase in difficulty of runic magic as relating to the number of runes being used in a given sequence. The tiers ran from one to thirteen. There were records of some going beyond that, but they were unreliable.
Millweed was one of those rumored to have gone beyond thirteen. An accomplishment of that stature was the sort of thing that a professor published. It would have skyrocketed her career. If it had been true. She was a true master, but not an anomaly.
Many schools of magic were taught at the Academy of Mystics. Bartholomew was proficient in three, and actively pursuing two more. He was an unusual student. Most were keen to stick with one or two fields of magic, and maybe spend a little time in one of the sub-schools. Very few students went to the lengths that he did.
He arrived to the lecture room red in the face, gulping for air. Glancing at the clock, but already knowing what it would tell him. It was a fascinating design; a floating bubble of water filled with a rigid line of miniature fish that served as the clock hands. And those fish were telling him that he had missed the window. Not only was he late, but he was late enough to be refused admittance.
"Mister Bartholomew. Kindly do not interrupt my class. Go to my office, and wait upon my convenience. Spend that time reflecting on how you might
