This week we should be celebrating the 9th birthday of my son.
Instead we are celebrating the 9th anniversary since his murder.
If you have any information, please call FBI Portland Office @ 207-774-9322
ask for Agent Andy Drewer.
November 14, 2013 10PM @ Southern Maine Community College Art Studio Bug-Light Parking Lot: 3 strangers armed with golf clubs, attacked me from behind while I was loading bags into the backseat of my car. They were a blond woman 60s-ish whom the others called "Claire", a natural red-haired woman also 60sish who called herself "Kendra", and a bald man, football player-body-type-build in his 30sish. I was 8 months pregnant. They murdered my baby, ruptured 3 discs in my spine, shattered 3 vertebra, broke my pelvis, hips, and knees. I was paralyzed for 5 months and was 18 months relearning to walk. The nerve damage has left me with limited use of my hands, legs, bladder, and intestines.
On top of that, they have also taken to harassing the baby's father, a disfigured, homeless, WW2 veteran, whom they call "Etoile". They spread hateful rumours about him claiming he is a cryptid, a demon, or most often what they term "an amphibious alien". He lives in pine branch lean-toos he builds in Old Orchard Beach and Ocean Park, and they have been hunting the locations of them, tearing them down, and smashing up his belongings.
April 10, 2015 1PM at 146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach Maine a gang of estimated 74 people, some of them wearing ku klux klan robes, invaded my farm, used a Blow Brothers sewage truck to pump 500+gallons of sewage into my motorhome flooding it to over the kitchen counters deep, ripped out all the cabinets and built in furniture, while 14 men armed with guns, held my family down on the ice and snow, with guns to our heads, and used cinder block bricks and a metal pole with metal wire loops to beat and behead 10 of my 12 foster children (the youngest age 4, the oldest age 16). May 15, 2015 they returned and nailed their heads to my front door. The 3 people of the November 14, 2013 attack were among the group.
September 12, 2015, 9AM a dozen+ of these same people arrived again in my driveway at 146, this time chanting: "Too gay for the family friendly town of Old Orchard Beach. Kill of be killed. Remember Saco Shaw's, Transgender Murder Store, kill the transvestites before they kill us all", one white haired man in a dark green pick up truck was leading the herd, while waving a rifle over his head and shooting at me and my pink motorhome, he shot several holes through my neighbour's shed. The crowd was accusing me of being a male-to-female "transgender terrorist" (they thought I was Muslim because I wear Catholic veiling).
June 26, 2016, the same 2 women of the first 2 attacks, arrived at my Scarborough WalMart workplace, and in a near repeat of the first attack, again while I was leaned over the back seat of my car putting bags in, this time they attacked with a chopping cart, re-injuring my spine, hip, and pelvis that was not yet fully healed from the first attack. The blond "Claire" woman was screaming "That's EelKat, she tried to kill my husband!" while the redhead screamed "I'm Kendra Silvermander it's my turn the shine!" They sped away in a early2000s-vintage gold Volvo SUV station wagon. This attack left me permanently crippled, and bedridden from 2016 until May 2022.
November 21, 2021: They shot "Etiole" in Biddeford, while he was staying at the tent-shanty-village with about 50 other homeless people along the Saco River in Biddeford. They made the claim he was a "suicide demon" citing that he was driving locals to suicide by putting "evil eye curses" on them.
These people murdered my baby, attempted to murder the baby's father, drove a backhoe over our house, and left me crippled for the rest of my life in their attempt to murder me.
I do not know who these people are. I never saw them before these attacks, and I've not seen them outside of these attacks. The police and FBI believe I was not the intended target, and that they were likely after my mother because of posts she makes on FaceBook and got us mixed up. The Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police and the FBI are seeking information leading to their identity and arrest.
More Info @ eelkat.com
Long detailed info on the over 200 attacks they have done between June 2001 and May 2022, including photos of them driving a backhoe over our house on August 8, 2013 and the details of the malicious "amphibious alien" rumour they have been spreading about a local homeless disabled veteran @

July 4th 2013: my car in front of my house.
August 8, 2013: me getting home from work to find a backhoe sitting on top of my house.
The FBI already found the people with the backhoe incident, and learned that the backhoe driver was paid $600 and given a fake demolition paper, the paper stating one of my relatives (the one who paid him the $600) owned my land. The backhoe driver was unaware that the man he was dealing with was not the owner. I have lived at 146 Portland Ave since 1975 and have owned the land since 1983, it has never been owned by anyone else, even though we have now learned that both my mother and my father and 3 of my uncles had been actively going around Old Orchard Beach claiming they owned my land.
This happened 3 months before my son was murdered and the police and FBI believe my son was murdered BECAUSE of this picture being posted on FaceBook, and my mother making inciting/inflammatory posts about it on HER FaceBook, where she falsely accused me of being a witch. The FBI and OOB police believe the golf club wielding woman of November 14, 2013, is somehow connected to the backhoe driving over my house incident.
Since the murder, 3 other different backhoes have invading my land to dig up my yard, looking for the grave of my son. There is a family cemetery on my land, the stones dating mostly in the 1500s and 1600s, with a few from the past hundred years, the most recent being my son in 2013. 146 Portland Ave has belonged to my family since 1530, and I inherited it in 1983 from my grandmother Helen Ricker Allen. The most recent backhoe attack happened September 19, 2020, when they illegally cut down several trees in my yard, and started construction of a road through my yard between my pink 1975 Dodge Sportsman motorhome and BackElder Brooke, again the backhoe digging up and destroying large portions of my farm, in their search for my murdered son's grave. They dug up 16 of the graves in this attack.
We have had to remove the grave markers from the family grave in order to stop these vandals and their illegally trespassing construction equipment from destroying the graves.
The FBI believes these construction crews are being hired by the golf club wielding women, and believe she is trying to destroy the grave of my son, due to a fear of his golf club smashed skull being used as court evidence against her.
The most recent attacks by these people occurred November 21, 2021 and March 27, 2022 when they attacked my painted Volvo while it was parked at my dad's apartment in Biddeford, both times the vandals also cut all the wires to electricity, internet, and cable off the apartment building, effecting all 9 families living there.
The Old Orchard Beach and Biddeford Police Departments as well as the Portland FBI are seeking any information regarding any and all of these attacks on my family, my home, my land, or my cars.

Do any of you have any sort of power-scaling in your works? If so, how do you handle it? from r/writing
Do any of you have any sort of power-scaling in your works? If so, how do you handle it?
I have a sort of "system" that gets tossed around in character dialogue but is never fully explained, and other characters get confused when they hear it, and they'll ask, and the explanations leave them even more confused.
Basically there is no "real" system, but characters think there is, and the populations of the world have developed conspiracy theories around what that system may or may not be.
Doing it this way, allows me to never fully write what the system is and allows me to have variations of the system mentioned, depending on which character is talking to which conspiracy theorist.
In the end, all the characters end up confused and no one really knows what the rankings of the power system actually is.
And if that confused you, basically the system goes like this:
The main character (Quaraun) holds the title of the world's most powerful wizard (currently), but no one really knows how or why he came by that title and he himself doesn't know why people call him that as he does not himself think that he is the most powerful wizard.
Previously however a wizard named Gibedon held the title of world's most powerful wizard.
Before Gibedon held that title, it was held by King Gwallmaiic.
Before King Gwallmaiic it was held by wizard known only as The Ghoul.
The Ghoul was King Gwallmaiic's advisor. But he got too powerful and got banished into a Hell dimension and the portal sealed up so he couldn't escape. Thus the title went from The Ghoul to King Gwallmaiic, as Gwallmaiic defeated the Ghoul.
Gibedon replaced The Ghoul as King Gwallmaiic's advisor, thus took over the title. The two also became lovers.
While Gibedon was out of the country, Quaraun became King Gwallmaiic's lover.
Upon his return, Gibedon discovered the King's new lover, had a fit and tried to kill both the King and his lover. The King ends up seriously wounded. In trying to pull the knife out of Gibedon's hand, to stop Gibedon from killing the King, Quaraun accidentally stabs and kills Gibedon.
With Gibedon dead, the title once again goes back to the King. However, a few weeks later the King dies from the infection caused by his wounds, leaving Quaraun heartbroken at the death of his lover. Quaraun becomes a Necromancer to resurrect the King as a Lich.
Having killed former title holder Gibedon (without using magic to do so) and having resurrected former title holder King Gwallmaiic, Quaraun now gets the title slapped on him.
In actual scale of use of magic it makes no real sense at all, but for the sake of the actual plot, it makes perfect sense in the minds of the simple tavern folk who used conspiracy theories to come up with the whole thing.
In the end, the title of world's most powerful wizard, is more something bards weave into tavern songs, then actual scale of power/skill the individual magic caster actually possess.
I wrote it that way to make sence in the minds of the people in taverns who listen to bards, rather then have it actually make sense to the powers the wizards actually had.
In terms of actual magical ability:
King Gwallmaiic way out powers the other wizards in terms of sheer skill, because he is also a 3,000 year old Faerie that has had many centuries to build that skill.
The Ghoul's son GhoulSpawn, (who is never given the title at all) actually is physically the most powerful wizard in terms of ability to harness energy; this being because he is a Demon and is able to withstand the side effects of spell casting, which other races can not.
In terms of psychic ability, being able to control the elements/weather, and possessing a hive mind telepathy that allows him to gather up armies of plants and animals (with bloodthirsty rose bushes strangling people with thorny vines and trees uprooting and marching across the field to do battle for him), that ability goes to Quaraun, who rightly holds the title of world's most powerful wizard, after he calls up quartz crystals to do battle for him in The Battle of Ongadada, where crystals come to life and embed themselves in every living being, killing 31 billion people across 3 solar systems in less then 30 seconds, by turning them into quartz statues. Quaraun is a wish granting DiJinn, and whenever he wants something to happen, simply says: "I wish...." and it happens immediately. In the case of the Battle of Ongadada he wished the world would die, and seconds later it did.
However, none of these things are taken into consideration for the actual title of World's Most Powerful Wizard. And Quaraun simply has the title because he killed Gibedon and resurrected Gwallmaiic, which is a completely illogical reason for him to have the title, considering the things his is capable of, but such is the logic of the tavern bards who wrote the songs and came up with the title.
Basically, the wizards themselves do not use a scaling system, nor do they care about such things. And the only people who do care about such things are the people who sit around taverns getting drunk and listening to tavern bards. The bards then make up the titles, tossing the titles at random on whatever wizard best fits the song/story they are singing/telling to the crowd. The crowd folk later retell the stories to their families who tell their friends, and sooner or later the story/song will get back to the wizard who'll be clueless as to who slapped him with the title or why.
I particularly like to have the wizards be in tavern scenes, where they are sitting in the crowd, listening to the bard, and the bard is clueless to the fact that the wizard he is weaving tales about is right there listening to him do it. The wizard will be there having a drink with his friends and suddenly be like: "OMG! He's talking about me? But I didn't do that!"
I kind of use it more to show how rumours get spread about the wizards, because usually the stuff bards attribute to the wizards are not things the wizard ever actually did.
So, yeah, like I said, not exactly a system of power scaling, but, it's some sort of a system, one that works with the plot in question at least. :P
>>As one example, water powers might be lame in your world, but that could still be exactly the right power for fighting a peak superhero whose power is fire.
Yes. This is a good example.
I use what is known as "kitchen sink magic" in my universe. So like Wile E Coyote dropping a piano on your head, or an anvil falling out of the sky for no reason, anything can and does happen in terms of magic.
Wizards are also not impervious to their own spells, so a Wizard casting a fireball, better damned sure know what he's doing and do it right, otherwise he'll be a crispy fried Wizard himself.
Having a Wizard cast "Wall of Fire" or "Fire Burst", and another Wizard counter cast "Bucket of Water Over Head of Wizard" is exactly the sort of thing you'd see happen in a Wizard's duel in my books, or rather "Grand Piano Full of Pink Lemonade Over Head of Wizard" if BoomFuzzy was casting it (because he's a trickster Faerie).
>>Power over plants?
As mentioned in my other post, my main character has this. He's a Necromancer who faints at the sight of blood, can't stomach dead bodies, and runs off puking his guts out at the sight of a corpse. He can however turn a dead oak tree in the forest into a Tree-Ent style battle zombie unlike anything you've never seen, and resurrect dead cut long stem roses into an army of flesh eating blossoms every little shop of horrors would be proud to have.
Soldiers often laugh at him being a Necromancer who "only resurrects dead flowers" but they sure as hell ain't laughing when a dead redwood tree marches across the battlefield and stomps them to death under it's roots.
>>Talks with fish?
All of the Thullids possess the ability to talk to sea creatures.
>>Weather control?
All three of the primary character wizards have some form, of weather control, but it varies.
Unicorn, for example can call up massive storms: hurricanes, blizzards, and typhoons, but more simple weather changes seem to be lost on him. Or perhaps he is simply bored with them?
Quaraun has the ability to call down lightening and can channel it through his body directing it at others. In essence he can shoot lightning bolts. He is able to capture lightning in a bottle or a wand and release it at a later time as well. People live in mortal terror of his Rainbow Wand because he has lightning bolts stored in it.
Quaraun once is seen calling up a tornado.
GhoulSpawn, is able to harness the heat from the sun and direct it into people burning their insides.
The Crystal Elves have the ability to freeze anything or any one and harness snow and ice storms.
>>Who would really hate to fight those superheros, or where would be a bad idea to fight them?
I find it interesting that you thought in terms of superheros for this. I would not have. I think of magic systems and my mind goes immediately to Wizards.
So while you were thinking super powers I was thinking magic users.
Interesting, because I had never thought of super powers in conjunction to magic before, but when you stop and think about it, what are Wizards really, but the superheros and super villains of the past?
>>I would try to have fun with creative power matches in this kind of story.
This is why I like to write the wild whack a doodle Wizards I write... because it is just danged fun to try to come up with wild crazy shit for them to pull on each other, then see what the other one will do to counter it.
I mean, BoomFuzzy is a Chaotic Candy Wizard who lives in a gingerbread house, and tosses vampire marshmallow bunnies into battlefields. Quaraun has his undead roses, and GhoulSpawn, baffles people with his pockets full of sheep. How do you determine who is the more powerful Wizard when one of them is tossing undead roses around and the other is putting out fires with eggnog? None of it makes sense, but who cares, because it's just plain fun to write.
I think that's the most important part of anything you write: to have fun writing it.
NOTE: The scenes and chapters featured here, are from the unedited first drafts, and NOT from the finished published novels. This was done because many readers had asked to see what the first drafts looked like to see how different they were from the finished product. Because these are from the unedited first drafts, they contain spelling and grammar errors, typos, and sections that are still unrevised. These errors are corrected in the final published editions.
