Steph Can Crochet…A Dragon
Steph is amazing…Make mine RED!
Morning
Everyday when I wake I prepare for a little trek that will take me down a winding path and through the woods. I will skirt the edge of the lake and look out past the trees expectantly awaiting the dawn.
When the first rays of glittering sunlight hit the tip of the hillside, I suck in my breath. A sensation of awe overwhelms me.
The full impact of sunrise stuns me. I focus on the horizon, unable to move my gaze. Some things in life are still extraordinary, will always be perfect.
Wordless Wednesday!
A Moment’s Wisdom…
It is the most amazing thing to realize that we are all the same, all equal. No amount of puffing or squeaking makes one of us intrinsically better than any other. Not even our fervent faith can change the fact that each one of us, no matter how blessed, is equal in all ways to the next.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Seer Releases Aug 31st!
I haven’t been around much and I owe my blog readers a little apology. My second book has taken it’s toll on my time and continues to eat up hours that I would normally spend here writing. I am hoping that you will find that patience pays off as the final version of Seer goes on sale at Amazon.
The adventure continues in this new fantasy, where dragons fly high and morgith dot the skies! I hope you will join me in Marithe for the release of Seer!
Woordless Wow!
A Moment’s Aprehension…
At some point in life we wonder what it is we will leave behind. If everything we do is trivial, then even the smallest gesture is significant. I ask myself, “Did I make even one person smile today?”
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Read It Or Eat IT!
Always hungry, the Dragon searches his lair for a treat. He roars and the book shelves rattle and shake depositing one title near the cook pot. Sage, Book 1 Fall of Onagros— a recent released by Marian Allen lies within reach of sharp claws. SHOULD HE READ IT…OR EAT IT?
Let’s digest a little of the contents…
The book is staged in a fantasy world where myths and belief systems are very different from the Dragon’s own. A medieval world is controlled by a matriarchal society. The kingdom is at risk, but there is still an heir loose to regain the throne. The ruling woman is routed by her male consort. By sheer accident or the demands of unknown fate, her offspring survives the man’s conniving plans and the intrigue begins.
Pros and Cons of Cooking—
Pros-
- There are DRAGONS in the story!!!
- The book is well written and flows at a smooth rhythm.
- There are descriptions of breakfast.
- The unique world is well developed and described.
- The characters are interesting.
Cons-
- There are many many characters with their own system of names and the Dragon is not sure who to consider eating.
- There is a tortoise that might make good soup, but the Dragon is not all that fond of soup.
The Dragon says save this book for reading. Although a tasty treat, it will be much better consumed by the mind. This is an entertaining novel. Buy it! !!!!ROAR!!!! It can be found at Amazon and where all matriarchal worlds books are sold.
Marian can be located in her castle on facebook, twitter or blog.
You will find an excerpt here from Book 3 on her blog!
Do I Need An Author Page?
Well maybe. This isn’t exactly a parade ground for books…so I made a page for just that! Just for the proud display of my work.
Have a peek? Fine if you don’t care to…not sure why I need one…
