Great learning site

The second book in a stellar series.

I greatly enjoyed the first book of the series, The Sordaneon, and was eagerly awaiting this book. It jumped me straight back into a wonderful story. The mark of a great book is how much a reader cares about the characters as they read and afterwards and this story delivers in aces. One of the things I most liked was the rounded characters. The heros didn’t always act in a goodly manner and the…

Now 99c, Shadow Over Avalon

A wonderful, must have story and the first in a series.

This is the sort of book so thrilling that I could have raced through it but it is like a very fine wine, something to be savored and relished, slowly and with attention to detail as it is the first in a series I am relieved to say. It is a story that sticks by a reader throughout the day so that when reading time comes around it is with utter joy. Dorillian Sordaneon is the main character and…

My review for ‘On the reality mytholgy and fantasies of Unicorns’ by Walter Williams

Unicorns have always fascinated me and I assumed they were mythical creatures, like Pegasus or the Sirens. Not so as proved beyond a shadow of doubt in this wonderful book. The beast has evolved over time in the imaginations of mankind, but its roots are very firmly established in a now extinct specimen, or maybe it is still in some undisturbed valley, far from people? The one-horned creature was…

“Human Lily and wolven Rowan get involved in a centuries-long fight between human-seeming werewolves and a scheming, immortal vampire with a revenge axe to grind. And no one comes out of the conflict unchanged.”

And here is a small snippet.

A rustle in a nearby tree spun him around. Stanislav Borinsky, now called Jack Stevens, crouched on a limb, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. The…

Book Review – Darkspire Reaches by CN Lesley

Dreaming of Darkspires

By

C .N. Lesley

Rain from a late autumn storm mingled with Marjory’s tears. All day long she had waded through brooks and knee-deep fields of hay in her flight, and at night slept under hedgerows, but as twilight drained into darkness on the fourth day, rain finally washed away scent trails. A few hours of downpour and the hounds would lose her track. She had heard…

Well, the melt is happening but that doesn’t mean to say there won’t be more snow. I am itching to get on the flowerbeds but I currently don’t own a jackhammer. I’ll have to wait another month before the ground is soft enough to work. In the meantime I am keeping clear as the mold under the snow is becoming exposed and I figure I have been sick enough this year.

I got some really foul bug in…

An interview I just gave

People talk about how the twentieth century was the most fast moving with the advent of world wars, the atom bomb, television, space travel, computers, etc but many overlook the most life changing but hidden differences. Take the middle part of the century, for example. At that time it was normal for a married woman to stay at home to be a house wife but what people don’t realize is it wasn’t…

Alas for the time gone by in a flash

Right now, the first major dump of December.

Why the missing time? Stuff happened, some good and more not so good. I have worked on writing but have flitted from one project to another, unable to concentrate properly as I got a good dose of the glums. I think the thing that started that off was waiting forever for a cover for my new book. I’d see a half done version and loved it, but then came…
