Book Review: Sparrowind and The Tale of Ugly Knight

I have another review of my book, The Ugly Knight. :-)

Book Review: Sparrowind and The Tale of Ugly Knight.

Also, a four star review on Amazon.

I’m starting to enjoy getting these reviews. :-)

Papa Pat gave me a very nice review for my book, The Ugly Knight. :-)

Excerpt:

This is such a pleasant, pleasant book! There is a lightness in the way it is written, that even in the scenes where Korton (The Ugly Knight) and Elzi (his resolute love interest) face the Ultimate Evil, it’s almost…peaceful. There is one exception, which I’ll get to later. I THINK that the reason the book is so…

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,100 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 18 trips to carry that many people.

(Since everyone else is doing it. :-D )

I’ve put “The Ugly Knight” on sale for the next few days at Amazon. Today it’s on sale for $1.99, tomorrow it’ll be $2.99, etc.

If you like it, or even if you don’t, please leave a review.

And yes, I know the cover could be improved, it’s too generic.

I’ve put my first novel (written over 20 years ago) out on Amazon, blurbless, coverless as it may be. That’s a generic cover, made with Amazon’s Cover Creator. It isn’t too bad looking, but I’m going to see if I can’t find/make etc., a better one in the next couple of weeks. This is the story of a young knight going out to fight a dragon (and that’s part of the reason I haven’t written a blurb…

Please Help Me Fix My Non-Working 2010 Hyundai Accent

My friend Barb could use some help in getting money to have her car fixed.

Today’s Blogging 101 challenge was to follow five new topics and five new blogs. Unfortunately, I’m already following enough blogs and feeds that I have difficulty keeping up with them all. So, instead, I’m going to list five blogs (of the many) that I follow:

Blogging 101

I know it’s been a long while since I blogged. Every so often, I just get tired of broadcasting into the void, and lose heart and take a break.

Since I do want to get back into the discipline of writing a blog at least a couple of times a week, I’ve decided to sign up for WordPress’s course, Blogging 101. The assignment for Monday is to tell a bit about yourself. (I know, it’s Tuesday. So, sue…

For our National Anthem’s 200th anniversary: (A day late)

By Francis Scott Key

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our…

Reflections on a cool week in summer

Cool summer weather, Is welcome, though strange. We open the windows, The air off, for a change.

The pool is quite cold, The crowd is quite small. We shiver, but swim. Is this summer or fall?

The dog loves the weather, He’s at home in the cold. The rest of us dread The weather of old.

Next week will be warmer, The heat will renew. Enjoy this small break Before our summer ensues.

When we got back from our vacation, we received the unwelcome news that our new organist (who, IIRC, has been here for about six months), was going to be leaving us.

That’ll show us to go on vacation ever again. ;-)

He lives in Lawrence, Kansas, where he’s working on his doctorate, and traveled an hour each way, twice a week, to get to our little church in Kansas City North. So, it really makes…

The Lord is my refuge, My place to hide. They chase and pursue me, But there I am safe inside.

They would tear me apart, Lord, keep. me safe. I have no ransom, Except by your grace.

I’ve done no evil, No wrong in their sight. I’ve harmed no one, Why must I take flight?

Stand up, Lord! Get angry! Face the wrath of my foes. Wake up, Lord, Show fury! Let them face what they chose.

If I’ve done wrong,

Waiting for the rabbit

For the choir director. With stringed instruments. According to sheminith. A psalm of David.

Lord, keep me safe from your anger, Don’t punish me in your wrath. God, hold me up in your mercy, For I’m too weak to follow your path.

My bones quake in agony, I cry out to be healed. My soul burns in anguish, How long must I wait afield?

Lord, you are my salvation. Turn and deliver me. Your love…
