I have to admit that reading it as an adult (and as an author myself) I realized it wasn't quite as perfect as I thought at age ten. It would have been nice to see a little more showing and less telling, and to have a few more details filling in the blanks between certain parts of the story. Still, it's a lovely adventure tale with vivid and memorable characters and some great lessons for young readers to learn. I recommend this to older elementary students or middle-schoolers who enjoy fantasy, or to the young at heart.</p>Annie Douglass Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349359217793983310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434703492841285792.post-77796148253509109062021-02-22T14:00:00.000-08:002021-02-22T14:00:00.387-08:00Shut 'em Down: a Nonfiction Anthology with a Giveaway!<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><o:p> </o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kme1PmXhcNk/YB3w83kFASI/AAAAAAAAGIY/NqsiNvP1RHM8Iy_Y377-8MArcNBGRf90gCLcBGAsYHQ/s950/Dr.%2BTara%2BHines%2BMcCoy%2BBanner.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="350" data-original-width="950" height="173" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kme1PmXhcNk/YB3w83kFASI/AAAAAAAAGIY/NqsiNvP1RHM8Iy_Y377-8MArcNBGRf90gCLcBGAsYHQ/w471-h173/Dr.%2BTara%2BHines%2BMcCoy%2BBanner.png" width="471" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #954f72; font-family: "Californian FB", serif;"><a href="http://www.wnlbooktours.com/" style="color: #954f72;">Write Now Literary</a></span><span style="font-family: "Californian FB", serif;"> is pleased to be organizing a two-week book tour for Shut’em Down: Black Women, Racism & Corporate America by Co-author Dr. Tara Hines-McCoy.

As you trek along in life, the smallest or biggest milestones and accomplishments will somehow take you back to that day and time you were faced with roadblocks. That is when you know for sure that you, too, have come face to face with some form of unacceptance, micro-aggression, racial hostility, double consciousness or colorism. If you are like me, you have told yourself that you are not bothered by these biases. However, together over time, they can create doubt, lack of confidence, and uneasiness for no logical reason besides the fact that, deep down, you are always trying to ensure you are as good or better than the white athlete, student, or colleague. </span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;

There are a few winners in here, but a lot of the stories just didn't grab me. Overall, this anthology earns three stars from me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/pas-saturn-giveaway_orig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="68" data-original-width="287" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/pas-saturn-giveaway_orig.png" /></a></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Follow

<br />Isabella Jaramillo is accustomed to getting what she wants.<br /><br />Living a comfortable life as the daughter of the world’s sole time travel magnate, Isabella has never suffered the irritation of being told no.<br /><br />Only now she has gone too far and her soon-to-be ex-husband tells her no in the most vengeful way possible—by sabotaging her trip to the past, sending her to a distant land where the locals do not speak her language and are far from impressed by her haughty demeanor.<br /><br />Now a slave, Isabella makes some surprising allies and discovers the truth behind her father’s rise to power and the terrible price the entire world paid for it. Somehow, she must break free and find a way home, not only to save herself, but to restore history to its rightful direction.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></b><div><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Etienne imagined his father-in-law had been listening to the call, muffling his laughter as Isabella just unilaterally ended their marriage. She never did anything without Daddy’s leave. So Etienne had played nice, put on the happy face. Of course he was all right with the annulment. He was fine with his whole life being over.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now he would be the laughingstock of Miami society, his fate to become a cautionary tale for other silly Spanish girls who even thought of slumming with an Anglo. The annulment would be featured on society pages all over the country, probably in Mexico and Cuba as well. Meanwhile, the grieving widow Esperanza Macias would get a promotion, a feature in the Miami Crier, and the standard condolence allowance from the Senate. Her husband had died in service to the Republic, so her life was going to improve dramatically. Etienne’s, on the other hand, was circling the drain.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The idea struck him suddenly. Martin Macias had been declared Lost without much investigation. Everyone, including him, had simply accepted the disappearance of three people—husbands and fathers all—as simply “one of those things.” No one had been hauled in for questioning; certainly no one was going to be punished.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A giddy excitement washing over him, Etienne looked around the living room once more, searching for the keys to his launch station. Spying them, he finally left the armchair and grabbed the errant keys off the floor. He headed out the door, his lips stretched into a satisfied smile.</div></div><br /></span></div><div><b><span style="font-size: large;">About the Author</span></b><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><center><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1TVon3l5kgacmqUt-X5DyeQ2vQ6fcX1KiWl-FP1gP8iWgqxSaBuqcJyDFmq7iFvak-FDDJGDcnyjKsJxYLt5h88xFe1ayCFzvlf3urVSM9ECE3YLIiUglHyTgfy9zCP-ed5nnl6tAdsM/s320/headshot.JPG" style="text-align: start;" /></center><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>Kristin McTiernan </b>was born the daughter of a career military man and spent her childhood bouncing from one country to another. Her love of writing surfaced early, and upon discovering the double threat of comic books and <i>Star Trek</i> in middle school, Kristin spent the majority of her spare time creating new worlds and interesting people to populate them. Following in her parents' footsteps, Kristin enlisted in the Marine Corps at 17 and, upon her discharge three years later, settled into a life pursuing her love of words. She achieved her bachelor's degree in English from Emporia State University in her home state of Kansas and works as an editor to support her writing addiction. She lives in Kansas City with her husband and dog.<br />

collection of retellings from the gospels is designed to bring each

the facts wherever the facts are known, from either the scriptures
themselves or from extra-biblical commentaries. But they also add in
back story when necessary, reimagining the sights, the sounds, the
colors, and the emotions for the person most involved. Each retelling
ends with an afterword discussion, summarizing the reasons for the
choices made in the story, followed by the scriptures
themselves.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#"><br /></span></div></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#">Together,

Gray is the author of three YA Amazon bestselling trilogies: PIERCING
THE VEIL (magic and quantum physics meet Arthurian legends), THE
LIBERTY BOX (dystopian metaphysics and mind control technology), and
UNCANNY VALLEY (dystopian coming-of-age with neuroscience and super
intelligent A.I). She starts with some scientific concept that she's
interested in learning more about herself, and then creates lots of
epic chaos and high-stakes action to go along with it. Her stories
are free of gratuitous violence, language, and sexual content, and
she abhors depressing endings... but they're not all kittens and
rainbows either! She also listens to and reviews audiobooks on her
website (www.authorcagray.com), Goodreads, Instagram, and on her
podcast, Clean Audiobook Reviews, where she also occasionally
interviews other authors.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><br /></span></div></span><span color="#" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><div style="text-align: center;">By
day, C.A. Gray practices naturopathic medicine, podcasts, and writes
medical non-fiction under her maiden name (Lauren Deville). She lives
in Tucson, AZ with her husband Frank, and together they maintain an
occasionally contentious film review blog (under her real name:
Lauren Baden. Three names. Yes.) She's kind of the queen of
multitasking--so in her spare time, she creates whatever meals or
crafts she found most recently on Pinterest, drinks lots of coffee
(Aeropress btw) and occasional wine (reds--and she saves the corks
for craft projects), works out (while listening to audiobooks), and
studies the Bible (about half of the podcasts on Christian Natural
Health are scripture meditations). ...She does sleep, too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><span color="#" face="Calibri, sans-serif"><div style="text-align: center;">Join

ten years, the dark mage Maelos has shrouded Evendreil in darkness
and oppression. With no hope in sight, many are struggling to
survive; others pray that their luck will remain. In searching for
answers, Sylas stumbles upon an ancient artifact--a mysterious silver
amulet--that confirms the reality of the fabled Vault of Kings.
Hoping to overthrow Maelos and end his evil reign, Sylas and his
companions set off to find the legendary elemental stones of power
that are needed to unlock the door to the vault. If they are to
succeed in their quest, they must first learn to master the ancient
art of Magick in all of its basic forms: Light, Darkness, Water,
Fire, Nature, and Air. Then they must pray that whatever secret is
contained in the Vault of Kings will be enough to give them the edge
that they need to defeat the most powerful dark mage that the world
has ever seen.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#"><br /></span></div></span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49201135-the-vault-of-kings">Goodreads</a>

has fallen. Darkness has descended once again. Despite the danger,
Torren has decided to stay in Gelendor to try and form a secret
rebellion while the others make their journey towards Sindmyr, the
Capital of Light. Once there, Sylas and Samara will need to convince
the King of Sindmyr to join their cause and fight back against the
armies of Maelos. To be successful, the two young mages will not only
need to continue to master the ancient art of Light Magick, but also
uncover an ancient secret that has been hidden away beneath the City
of Light for generations. A secret that could prove deadly to any who
attempt to wield it. Most importantly, Sylas will need to prove that
he is worthy to obtain the Stone of Light and unite it with the
ancient silver amulet. With two Elemental Stones of power at his
side, Sylas will bring himself one step closer to completing the key
to the Vault of Kings. One step closer to unlocking the powerful
secret that's been hidden from the world for over a thousand years.
Gelendor has fallen to Darkness, but in the Light...there is still
hope.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span color="#"><br /></span></div></span><b style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56189979-the-vault-of-kings">Goodreads</a>

loved reading fantasy books ever since I was little, but there was
always something missing, something that I wished that I could add to
the story, to make it mine. Writing a book and putting yourself out
there for the world to see is daunting to say the least, but the joy
and sense of accomplishment you get from seeing your story out there,
for all to read and enjoy is a feeling like none other. </span></div></span><span><div style="text-align: center;"></div></span><span><div style="text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">I

Slag was three-quarters orc. Slag’s mother had been a halfling, his father an orc who raped her when she was hunting. Slag had been given to the same wet nurse taking care of me. We were raised together along with Chub, our third companion, another half-orc.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag’s frown emphasized the pointed ivory tusks that rose at the corner of his mouth from his bottom jaw to above his upper lip and nearly to his flat nose. At seven feet of solid muscle Slag weighed in at three-hundred pounds, and was two inches taller than me, and twenty-five pounds heavier. When I noticed the sun shining off the top of Slag’s head I grinned. Slag kept his head shaved to show off what he thought were his best features, a broad forehead and small, slightly pointed ears, each pierced with three golden rings.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Aye, the city be close” I said as I glanced around us. “The big lake be over that hill. The walls of New Orleans be about a league to the south of us.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">This be dangerous ground,” Chub said. “It’s getting’ late and I’m terrible hungry. Let’s stop and cook up some of that shoat we bagged this morning.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I laughed. Chub was always hungry, a huge halfling who besides food, loved me, Slag and no other being in the universe, except perhaps the draft mule he rode. The mule was always hungry too. Chub shared other qualities with his mount, such as strength, tirelessness, and a foul temper. A dangerous combination. But then all of us are dangerous.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I’m good with that,” I said. “You two set up camp. I’m gonna ride up to the top of that hill and get a look see.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I spurred Thor, a black Friesian with feathered feet and too much mane. The big horse was a gift from my mother, the elf queen, Ashera. It was the only thing besides my light skin, pointed ears, and thick brown hair she’d ever given me. That, and she’d carried me to term and not killed me at birth, which was the custom, because I was the result of an orc rape. Instead of killing me, she sent me to the village of Wildwhisper. She’d never raise a half-orc babe herself. Elves were all racists. They believed in the purity of the elf race and any mixing of blood was considered an abomination. I was glad she’d sent me to Wildwhisper. Life in the village suited me down to the ground. I’d learned to forge and use the weapons I made.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">My two warrior friends and I were raised in the same small village outside the elves’ mountain fortress in what used to be Arkansas. It was also near Edenvale, a hidden sanctuary populated with humans who didn’t care to be serfs to the Magics or live within walls. The people of Wildwhisper maintained themselves by hunting in the forest, tanning hides, and forging weapons. They mined ore and coal in the mountains and found old steel and metal in abandoned cities to melt in forges fueled by the coal. Their swords were highly-valued, the metal folded and then sharpened to perfection and modeled after the Japanese blade, the katana. They also forged enormous axes to be used as weapons and smaller ones for cutting down trees. If it could be made of metal, it was forged in Wildwhisper. I always carried a satchel full of weapons to use in trade if we needed food or lodging, and sometimes I sold them for the most common form of money, silver coins.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">As I galloped Thor to the top of the hill, reveling in the strength and immense power of the horse beneath me, I surveyed the landscape. Below stretched the big lake and the wall built around the city of New Orleans. The city center was too far to see clearly, just the spire of a great church, and the remains of tall buildings now crumbling ruins. Inside the wall, small farms were green with summer’s bounty.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I squeezed Thor’s sides sending him charging into a valley and up another hill. At the top, I spotted a group of orcs camped in the bottom of the next valley inside a copse of oak saplings. Smoke from their cook fire rose between the leafy boughs. I couldn’t see all of them, but the usual orc raiding party was ten or twelve. Seven were visible, tending to the huge boars they rode. The hogs grunted and snorted from their position tied to trot lines. I was close enough hear the restless animals.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">This was good news to me. Finding a raiding party before it found you was always good news. Then I spotted the girl. She looked about ten and was tied face down across the back of a hog. One of the orcs dragged her off the massive pig and tossed her to his fellow who laughed and ripped off her clothes.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I felt my animal nature rising. Anger at the terrible treatment of the child, for the girl was no more than that, warred with my inner voice cautioning me to take care. I wanted nothing more than to tear down the hill and fight all of them.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I whirled Thor around on his hind feet and galloped back to camp. It was almost dark. Slag and Chub would appreciate the chance to kill some orcs.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I pulled the big Friesian to a sliding stop at the edge of the camp. Slag grabbed my reins. “I see that light in yer eye.” Slag grinned. “Ye found us a bit of work, didn’t ye?”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Orcs have a girl. We gotta go now. Setting up camp can wait. Mount [JP1] up and let’s ride.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag and Chub leapt on their mounts[JP2] . Chub still had his long bow slung over his shoulder, a quiver full of arrows and his axe in a holster attached to his leather body armor. Slag favored a broad sword, a crossbow with bolts tipped with rattlesnake venom, and a spear. I still had my katana and sheath hooked to the back of my armor. Armed to the teeth, we thundered down the trail, knowing the girl might soon be dead, or worse. A ten-year old was a woman to orcs.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">We stopped at the top of the hill overlooking the orc encampment. The sun had set, and a huge moon slowly rose over the trees behind them. The ghostly-blue light illuminated the troop of orcs gathered in a raiding party. We sat still and silent, impatient as we watched the orcs move out. When the orcs crested the far hill and headed toward the city, I dismounted, left Thor ground-tied, and slunk down the hill staying in the cover of shrubs and underbrush. Chub stayed with the horses, but Slag followed.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">The fire I’d seen earlier was extinguished, but the orcs obviously planned to return to this camp. Two huge, ugly, green monsters squatted close to the girl. They weren’t touching her, just sitting there watching. Two hogs wandered around behind them, saddled and ready to go, but eating acorns and snuffling in the leaves beneath the trees.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I waved, sending Slag off to the left, while I went right. The hogs scented us and squealed an alarm. The two orcs jumped to their feet. One held a massive hammer, the other a multi-bladed mace, crude but effective. A brace of spears leaned against one of the trees. The hogs came close to inspect me and I shooed them away. One charged, its tusks gleaming blue in the moonlight. I held my katana high over my head in a two-handed grip as I waited for the hog, then I stepped aside and sliced its head off with my razor-sharp blade. The head rolled, foam dripping from its gaping maw as blood gushed from the body. The other hog squealed and ran away.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Alerted, the two orcs raced around in circles searching for us. Slag stepped up behind them and put two poison bolts into the biggest one while I slashed the other diagonally across its body from neck to thigh, opening its belly. Guts and blood poured onto the ground as the stunned orc took a minute to figure out he was dead, then toppled over.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Smiling, I do love a good fight, I wiped my blade on the grass to clean it. “Get the girl.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag moaned. “Really? Like we ain’t got enough problems?”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">If we leave her here, the orcs will find her and their two dead friends and come looking for us after they kill her.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Happen, they’ll come for us, no matter.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Not if we catch them first.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag lifted one bushy eyebrow.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">We have to go after them. They’re headed for the city.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">When did you become a lover of the Magics?”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">It’s not the Magics I care about. The regular folk die too, and they don’t deserve it.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag sighed. “Let’s be off then. Chub’s missing his dinner and that will put him in a right bad mood.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">We found the girl curled into a ball under a rough blanket made of sacking. I pulled the sacking off her face. She was red headed, with pale skin and bright blue eyes. She pounced on me, clawing at my eyes. “Whoa, there filly.” I pulled her off my head. “I ain’t an orc.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">You are!” she screamed. “You might not be green, but you look just like them.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I know I ain’t pretty, but it’s not kind of you to remind me. I might be half orc, but I always thought I was better looking than orcs.” I held her out in front of me and noticed she was younger than I’d thought, and feistier. “We just killed your captors and we plan to get the rest.” She kicked and scratched at my leather wrist guards, tried to bite me, and shrieked bloody murder.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I can always give you back, if you’d druther.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">She stopped shrieking. “Put me down.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Are you gonna run?”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Duh.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Where to?”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> “<font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Away from you, that’s for certain.”</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"> <font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Slag stepped forward in all his hugeness and laughed. “Jackal be your onliest chance of surviving, missy.

Violence. Seduction. Bitter betrayal. He will stop at nothing to use
me as a pawn in his dark agenda. My only ally is Kreed, a pureblood

Mutt aside if it means bringing down the dragons.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

In fact, they’re just about my least favourite animal in the whole world. Worse than spiders. I just can’t bring 9 myself to care about your little plastic toys or your annoyingly loud games or your shocking lack of vocabulary. What’s your name?” “George.” “And yours?” “Hannah.” “It doesn’t matter, because I’ve forgotten you already,” confided Mrs Muddle. “I see forty, maybe fifty children just like you every week.

The thing is, I’m terrified because all these things are true and I don’t know how to fix them. I would say a prayer if I thought someone could hear, but even if they did, I don’t think this is a place where prayers get answered. If I had a compass, knowing whether I’m facing North or South wouldn’t take me away from this place, let alone back to where I started. In fact, no one can get me out of the mess I’m in, except maybe me, and I’m as scared to try to change what has brought me here as I am afraid do nothing.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">I remember when my friends and I were kids and we hid in the bushes and pretended there were monsters coming after us. Well, now the monsters are real. I’ve been listening for what seems an eternity to their angry snorts and the clatter and scratches of their claws on the large stone surface where those creatures are gathered. Every now and then, one of them hisses and another does the same in response. The rate of their footsteps escalates and I imagine two of them colliding and squaring off in an expression of indignation. It’s too dark to see whether this has actually happened, or if it’s just my imagination, but the pounding of my heart in face of the impending danger keeps me riveted on what’s happening.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">As I hide in a clump of bushes and the minutes pass, I’m more than a little relieved that they’re taking so long to find me. Unexpectedly, the full moon peeks through a break in the cloud cover and the scales on the bodies of several great beasts glisten. Each is twice the size of a bullmastiff and I count six of them several yards from here. Their eyes glow whitish gold and appear to have vertical slits, although it’s hard to be sure at this distance. As they circle a spot where I was standing a short while ago, sniffing the ground in several directions around it, one of them raises its head and opens its mouth, baring rows of long, needlelike teeth. I expect the creature will howl. Instead, a rasping reptilian sound emerges and I shudder, wondering what kind of beings they are.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Although I’ve recently arrived, from my earlier experiences and the landscape’s layout, I recognize this place as being near where the street car used to stop in a time that’s lost to me forever. The place where I’m hiding used to be the parkway where Park crosses Mill—or what used to be Park and Mill before everything transformed into this new reality. There aren’t any streets anymore and I’m surprised there are even deer trails to mark where Park and Mill once intersected. This used to be Portland State University, but now everything’s grown over and forested. The clock tower has vanished, as have the student union and the rest of the buildings that were part of the campus.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">Without warning, a thought bubbles up from a world I’ll never see again and I almost cry out loud. Cursing this lack of control, I force my idiot self to keep quiet. Still, there is some truth to the thought that this situation is what Dad would have called a mixed blessing. It’s because it rained so hard that those things haven’t discovered me already. Here I am, kneeling on a thick bed of leaves. If they weren’t so soggy, they would crackle each time I move and announce my location. Instead, their wetness muffles whatever noise I might otherwise make. On the other hand, because the night is so cold and water is starting to soak through my pants, I’m beginning to shiver and I’m afraid I might sneeze any minute. If I do, those creatures will certainly hear and I know I will die because I’m sure they can out-run me.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">The breeze that’s been chilling me starts to increase and I wonder if another storm is building. The last of autumn’s leaves whip though the air and there is a sharp crack above me. The creatures turn in my direction and two cock their heads. A third one starts walking toward me and I hold my breath, wondering whether it will continue to advance, when a second crack drops a large bough into the bushes a few yards to my right. The creatures stop and stare at the spot where it landed. Then, apparently satisfied they understand what caused the disturbance, they resume their search in the original location. Realizing I’ve been holding my breath and that I need to breathe, I inhale deeply, then exhale. My breathing is starting to grow normal when something grabs my shoulder.</font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /> </p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif" size="5"><font><b>About The Author</b></font></font></p> <p align="LEFT" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"></font></font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-3/663/206663/rL88XEv2/c1873dda6e184e9c9d123dfc861d6fc9" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="765" height="189" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/production-sitebuilder-v1-0-3/663/206663/rL88XEv2/c1873dda6e184e9c9d123dfc861d6fc9" width="200" /></a></font></font></div><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4"><br />Raymond Bolton lives near Portland, Oregon with his wife, Toni, and their cats, Max and Arthur.

In his usual stylistic, this collection deals with weighty matters like race and colourism with simple and clear language.</font></font></p> <p align="CENTER" style="background: none 0% 0% repeat scroll transparent; margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Garamond, serif"><font size="4">In Black ≠ Inferior, we see Tolu’ Akinyemi reacting in response to the world, to issues that affect Black people.

All of them are inspirational poems based on nature walks Christopher Kelder took. I was fascinated at the idea of writing a collection of poems all inspired by the same kind of event, and yet all different. The color photos that go with each poem really add to the experience. Anyone who likes poems about God and walking in nature is bound to enjoy this fun collection! Why not take a look? </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here's a sample poem from the book that I particularly enjoyed (I needed the reminder!).</span></p><p>

Read to the bottom for my review of K.M. Weiland's new book. First, here's the cover and her Amazon description:</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Li5RvoKgzn2cHj8M9iUjYYxPqz5KVJwTNjVmZf-eatJCL8Y02an3L42W-1BIJuIdsfWEIA3IensoDVOkdYIwJTOHC_BliEJJDU4g3TiRdfzREsgrYBbLCoMo5-upYpGPbIpsgjVaC8Rc/s500/theme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="313" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Li5RvoKgzn2cHj8M9iUjYYxPqz5KVJwTNjVmZf-eatJCL8Y02an3L42W-1BIJuIdsfWEIA3IensoDVOkdYIwJTOHC_BliEJJDU4g3TiRdfzREsgrYBbLCoMo5-upYpGPbIpsgjVaC8Rc/w250-h400/theme.jpg" width="250" /></a></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Theme Is What Your Story Is <i>Really</i> About</strong></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">Theme—the mysterious cousin of plot and character. Too often viewed as abstract rather than actionable, theme is frequently misunderstood and left to chance. Some writers even insist theme should <i>not</i> be purposefully implemented. This is unfortunate, because in many ways theme <i>is</i> story. Theme is the heart, the meaning, the point. Nothing that important should be overlooked.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">Powerful themes are never incidental. They emerge from the conjunction of strong plots and resonant character arcs. This means you can <i>learn</i> to plan and implement theme. In doing so, you will deepen your ability to write not only stories that entertain, but also stories that stay with readers long after the end.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><i>Writing Your Story’s Theme</i> will teach you:</p><ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 18px 20px; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">How to create theme from plot and character.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Why every supporting character and subplot should enhance the theme.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">How to prevent theme from seeming preachy or “on the nose.”</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">What to consider in identifying the best theme for any given story.</li><li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">And much more!</li></ul><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;">Conscious mastery of theme will elevate every story you write and allow you to craft fiction of depth and meaning.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>Take Control of Your Story Via a Powerful Implementation of Theme</strong></p><p><u>My Review:</u></p><p>This is a useful resource for any author wanting to strengthen their novel's theme. I've never read anything so in-depth on the subject! But don't try to read this book when you're tired or at less than peak mental alertness - it's so deep and rich that takes a lot of brainpower to fully absorb the details. There are so many useful concepts here that I found myself highlighting dozens of separate passages, which I'll have to look back over when I'm plotting out my next book. Thank you, K.M. Weiland, for another excellent writing resource!</p><p><a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Writing-Your-Storys-Theme-Plotting-ebook/dp/B08L4335LT/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=writing+your+story%27s+theme&qid=1607249854&sr=8-1" target="_blank">Click here</a> to buy <i>Writing Your Story's Theme</i> from Amazon.</p>Annie Douglass Limahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17349359217793983310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434703492841285792.post-39875751226303138142020-11-26T15:53:00.008-08:002020-11-27T20:55:59.708-08:00Love and Memory: a New Fantasy Novel by Kendra E Ardnek<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiol8-AEkhoZEqwZwynMNODDRebAhy6yh2ZvXtirtgYJEYSJZTCYV06CUUse1Eiu1bstdObGj-N9O_BgC39N6IJVCAYiAS5exkHR_gQvVRGpD0akjifzgcUOA9vCc4u13XGdo9IelU4MU2i/s1001/Love+and+Memory+Reveal.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="1001" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiol8-AEkhoZEqwZwynMNODDRebAhy6yh2ZvXtirtgYJEYSJZTCYV06CUUse1Eiu1bstdObGj-N9O_BgC39N6IJVCAYiAS5exkHR_gQvVRGpD0akjifzgcUOA9vCc4u13XGdo9IelU4MU2i/w640-h360/Love+and+Memory+Reveal.png" width="640" /></a></div><p>Release Date: April 19th, 2021 </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhom4QUY2Hy_ciD53UJTakqhmvsbs7rZfl9GUwSEJSVpZxdDnGog2ofLFeom8iXT7SmGqXaia-6dSZjbC1JQqZz4xD4NKOIUkUGUZovPb-QPrdNNttemrrallA8mK4rEa9M2TxS3JhCn1Wy/s341/5f57bdacd71990714de25c45c037910c.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="341" data-original-width="236" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhom4QUY2Hy_ciD53UJTakqhmvsbs7rZfl9GUwSEJSVpZxdDnGog2ofLFeom8iXT7SmGqXaia-6dSZjbC1JQqZz4xD4NKOIUkUGUZovPb-QPrdNNttemrrallA8mK4rEa9M2TxS3JhCn1Wy/s320/5f57bdacd71990714de25c45c037910c.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; text-align: start;">So, this book features a few new characters, <br />including Princess Sorei of Korya, <br />who’s a bit on the awesome side. <br />This was one of the first images I pinned for her.</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p>Book Description:</p><p>The Rizkaland Legends #3</p><p>When a Queen forgets,</p><p>Her enemies rejoice in her weakness.</p><p>But when the Queen remembers,</p><p>They tremble in fear.</p><p>When a King loves,</p><p>His country rejoices with him.</p><p>But when that love is broken.</p><p>The land is broken, too.</p><p>Can Water and Fire join again?</p><p>Can Love and Memory be restored?</p><p></p><p>They spent years in Rizkaland.

Reuben, we’ve been joined at the hip since the day I was born. We have never spent a day apart that we could help – except that one year. And, even when we are apart, we still revolve around each other. People don’t say ‘Petra’ or ‘Reuben.’ It’s ‘Petra and Reuben.’ Even <i>we</i> think that way. Who’s Petra? Who’s Reuben?
