Hi readers,
This is my review of Captives Of Minara by Eric E. Wright. I give this book a five star review. Once again I am captivated by Joshua Radley's life. Things happen in our lives for a reason. In Captives of Minara trouble happens in Joshua Radley's life that test his faith in God. Is God with him in this foreign land of his childhood? In the end Josh felt a connection to the land and its people. A connection he'd lost and found again. This book is a page turner. I worried along with Josh and his wife if things would work out or not. Thanks, Eric E. Wright, for a good read. Hi Readers,
This is my review of The Chronicles Of The Dragon Sisters by Peter Quatrine. I give this book a five star review. It was a very entertaining book. Peter took me on a wild adventure of dragons and another world. Thirteen year old Eva Fonter had no idea what adventure awaited her when she, her twin sister and father moved into a new house. I can't wait for the next book. Thanks for a good read, Peter. Hello readers,
This is my review of a book Cruxim by Karin Cox. What would you do for love? Amedo is a Cruxim who is trapped in a tower, and he thinks about the two women he loves, Sabine, a Sphinx, and Joslyn, a vampire. A Cruxim kills vampires, but Amedo couldn't do that to Joslyn. When Beltran tries to kill Amedo, he thinks death take me, but send me to hell, for all of my loves are there. Karin Cox took me through Amedo's world of love and loss, and left me with a satisfied ending. Thanks for a good read, Karin. This is my review of The Lightning File by Eric E. Wright.
I give this book a five star review. From the very beginning, Eric drew me into the Joshua Radley's life as a reporter with Toronto Time. Josh faced personal issues with his wife and then while doing resreach for an article he came across a file. Darkness, thunder, and lightning. It had to be a code for a terrist operation or was he becoming paranoid. The deeper he digs the more danger he encounters. The further I read, the more engaged I became in Josh's life. I was on the edge of my seat with worry. Thanks for a good read, Eric. Here is my review of Nonofficial Asset by William Sewell
Peyton Stone's life had changed forever because his partner was dead, murdered in his sleep. So he has to figure out what happened. Peyton is a nonofficial asset the title given to a CIA contractor engaged when the American government needs deniablity. I enjoyed reading about Peyton's adventure/mystery to find out what happened to his partner and to help save the world. Peyton got into plenty of trouble where I didn't think he'd make it out. There were twist and turns in this book to keep you on the edge. And there were many moments where a scence brought tears to my eyes. Good read if you like spy novels or even mysteries. Hi readers,
This is my review of Night Sea Journey A Tale Of The Supernatural by Paula Cappa. I give this book a five star review. I loved it from the very beginning and all the way to the end. Paula took me on a journey through Kip's dreams of angels and demons. Or were they Kip's dreams? Great visual descriptive writing let me see Kip's paintings and let me experience the dreams along with Raymond, a priest who just met Kip. Toward the end of the book, Raymond asks this question to a friend. "Do you think its possible for a dream, a dream that is so powerful, so full of desire that the dream is capable of manifesting its elements into our world?" It's a great question. If you want to know the answer, I suggest you read Night Sea Journey by Paula Cappa. I'm fascinated with dreams and the supernatural, so this story fired my imagination. Thanks, Paula for a great read. Night Sea Journey is about the psychic reality of dreams and nightmares. This is an atmospheric mystery, driven by psychological drama and paranormal events where reality and nightmares merge. Rich characters, psychological undertones, romance, and murder make this little supernatural thriller a fast-paced read. Well, it is the start to a new year. As I looked back at the goals I made last year and think about the goals I want to make this year, I see they are almost alike. Lose weight, spend more time with the family, write more, sell more. blog more. Do more. Basically to become a better me. So I didn't write out a list of goals this year. I just planned out the stories that I want to work on this year. I have so many unfinished stories. There are so many new stories rattling around in my imagination.
But my main goal for 2013 is to enjoy life and become a better me. To get up each day and accomplish something toward that goal. I want to spend my time wisely and enjoy each day. In order for me to accomplish that goal each day, I need to spend time with God in prayer and see where he is leads me. I want to write everyday because if I don't I won't get my stories done. I want to exercise everyday in order to lose the weight that I need to lose to be healthy. Put auctions on ebay everyday because if I don't things won't sell. Then there is promoting my book Ghostly Clues, blogging, and spending time with family. Then there is the housework that needs to be done. This year, since I love to read, I've decided I want to do reviews for other authors. So sometimes I think we get so busy with stuff that we forget to enjoy life. Life is to short to be too busy all the time. God didn't call us to be busy. We make ourselves busy with all the things we think we need to do. So in order to be a better me, I need to be less busy. Sure I can still accomplish the things that I want to accomplish but I can do it by being less busying and enjoying the journey more. This is just my two cents for the year. I want to enjoy my life more and become a better me. Keep writing and reading. The Liebster Award
Thank you to Katie L. Carrol at the Observation Desk http://katielcarroll.com/the-liebaster-award/ for passing on the Liebster Award to me. What is the Liebaster Award you ask? Well, it's an award given to up-and-coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Think of it as a virtal pat on the back. A bit of recognition for doing a good job and encouragement to keep going. And let's not forget the bloggers that have been blogging for awhile and have great blogs. Now for the questions. 1. If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would purchase? A bigger house so that I can have an office just for writing in. 2. Is there something unique about you that you'd like to share with the readers? I can't think of anything unique about myself to share right now. 3. Where is your dream place to live and why? My dream place to live would be a cabin in the woods. It's quiet. I can picture myself sitting on the porch writing and observing the beauty and spookiness of the woods. 4. What do you find is the most difficult part of the writing process? Knowing when to stop revising and let my baby go. 5. Tell us something about yourself that we don't know? I don't like to have the spotlight on me. 6. Do you have any pet peeves? People who are fake. Say one thing and do another. 7. Do you have any special habits you do when you write? No. Not really. I like it to be quiet. But if I wait for it to be quiet then I might not get any work done. So I sit down at the computer and write whether I feel like it or not. 8. Did you ever write your friends or family members in your books? Yes. But I doubt they would recognize themselves. 9. What is your favorite drink? Iced tea. 10. Who gives you the best encouragement to write? My husband. He would like to see me make enough money off my writing so that he can quit his job. 11. Do you have a critique group or special author group? Yes. I've been involve with two online groups for years, and without their help and encouragement I wouldn't be a published author. Katie has asked me instead of listing 11 random things about me to list 11 favorite books. Well there is the Harry Potter series that's 7 books and then there is the Twilight series which is 4 books. Wow that was quick and easy. I also like books from Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, James Patterson, R. L. Stine. P. C. Cast, Alyson Noel, Laurie Faria Stolarz, Rachel Caine, L. J. Smith and many others. Now I would like to pass this award on to two of my writer friends. Mary Ann who is a great writer and crit partner. Her blog is http://itsthewriteplace.blogspot.com K. C. Sprayberry great crit partner and author of Sofetly Say Goodbye. Her blog is http://outofcontrolcharacters.blogspot.com Hi, Today I am interviewing Suzanne de Montigny the author of The Shadow Of The Unicorn The Legacy to be released Nov 30 by Museituppublishing. Suzanne de Montigny wrote her first unicorn novel when she was twelve and has always kept it in a safe place. In her twenties, she freelanced as a composer and pianist in Vancouver, B.C. Later, she began teaching elementary music where she learned she could spin a good tale that kept kids and teachers begging for more. She has written four novels. The Shadow of the Unicorn: The Legacy is her first. Living in Burnaby, she resides with her husand and her two boys. Tell us about The Shadow Of The Unicorn: The Legacy and how the story came to be. The Shadow Of The Unicorn: The Legacy came about in a strange sort of way. When my father died, six years ago, I was stricken by an intense urge to write. A year later, I found an old box of childhood memorabilia while cleaning the basement. And in that box, I found the first four chapters of a rewrite of my grade six unicorn story that I must have done somewhere in my teens. I threw it in the recycling box, along with all the rest of my garbage, but a couple of days later, on a rainy afternoon, my curiosity got the best of me, so I brought it back in, dried it off, and read it. I was utterly fascinated. A week later, I sat down and wrote the first draft, then a month later, a second novel. And I’ve never stopped. What three words best describe your main character? Azaria, a unicorn colt is brave, loyal, and funny. What types of books do you like to read? Anything that takes me away from my real world. Thus fantasy, historical fiction, science fiction, that sort of thing. What do you like to do when you aren't writing? My boys and I fiddle. If I’m not writing, I’m either playing music or helping the boys with their homework. What's next for your writing? Are you working on a new story? I just recently completed a YA Paranormal entitled: A Town Bewitched about a fourteen-year-old child prodigy in classical violin who struggles to survive in the small town of Hope, British Columbia. When a fiddler bewitches the town, only the girl suspects it’s her who has been vandalizing the town, leaving tokens of dead and gutted birds. I’m also rewriting the second of The Shadow of the Unicorn trilogy. Where can readers find you and your books? From Muse It Up Publishing and Kindle. Anything else you want readers to know? Yes, the most important part of all. Last July, I was stricken with a visual impairment for which I’ve been undergoing numerous tests. At present, my ophthalmologist feels it’s only temporary and will clear itself up in time. But it got me to thinking there are countless people in the world, who have no hope for their vision. And so, I decided that half of all my proceeds from the The Shadow of the Unicorn: The legacy will go to the Third World Eye Care Society, a group of eye specialists who travel to underdeveloped nations, bringing thousands of pairs of used glasses and operating for free. Check out Suzanne's book trailer. It is powerful. http://youtu.be/St9OsyK974o After you check out the book trailer go over to MuseItUp and order the book https://museituppublishing.com/bookstore2/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=466&category_id=69&manufacturer_id=230&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1 Thank you Suzanne. |
