Zoe and Ollie Morley tried for years to have a baby and
couldn't. They turned to adoption and their dreams came true when they were
approved to adopt a little girl from birth. They named her Evie. In the days
that follow Evie’s birth the new parents watch anxiously as their precious
daughter struggles – she is battling the severe effects of the drugs her birth
mother was addicted to.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Seven years later, the family has moved to Yorkshire and
grown in number: a wonderful surprise in the form of baby Ben, conceived naturally
against the odds. Ollie is earning good money and Zoe is pursuing her career as
an artist. As a working mum it's not easy, but Zoe has an exhibition coming up
and her reputation is growing. Life is good.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
But then Evie begins to receive letters and gifts. The
sender claims to be her birth father. He has been looking for his daughter. And
now he’s coming to take her back...</div>

What you don't know about yourself can hurt you and your
relationships--and even keep you in the shallows with God. Do you want help
figuring out who you are and why you're stuck in the same ruts?</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The Enneagram is an ancient personality type system with
an uncanny accuracy in describing how human beings are wired, both positively
and negatively. In The Road Back to You Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile
forge a unique approach--a practical, comprehensive way of accessing Enneagram
wisdom and exploring its connections with Christian spirituality for a deeper
knowledge of ourselves, compassion for others, and love for God.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Witty and filled with stories, this book allows you to
peek inside each of the nine Enneagram types, keeping you turning the pages
long after you have read the chapter about your own number. Not only will you
learn more about yourself, but you will also start to see the world through
other people's eyes, understanding how and why people think, feel, and act the
way they do.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Beginning with changes you can start making today, the
wisdom of the Enneagram can help take you further along into who you really
are--leading you into places of spiritual discovery you would never have found
on your own, and paving the way to the wiser, more compassionate person you
want to become.</div>

"I'm so thrilled that this book exists. The
Enneagram has absolutely changed my understanding of how to love the people in
my life, deepened the quality of my marriage, and given me a vision for the
person God designed me to be. This book makes the Enneagram easy to understand,
with helpful stories, humor, warmth, and clear language. I'll need a case, at
least."</div>

"The Enneagram has been a powerful tool for
spiritual transformation in my life, so much so that I became a certified
trainer. I've read many of the books available on the subject. This is a
wonderfully thorough examination of the Enneagram and the best news is that it
will speak to both newcomers and Enneagram veterans."</div>

A rousing guide to succeeding from setbacks, with lessons
from famous figures who have survived and thrived after enduring legendary
defeats.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As an award-winning sports journalist and editor, Sam
Weinman has witnessed epic wins and crushing defeats. But when he tried to
teach his two sons how to cope with life's inevitable setbacks (lost hockey
games, a B on a test), nothing worked. Sam realized our winning-obsessed
culture had taught them that losing is unacceptable, even when it's impossible
to succeed. So he decided to approach the experts to find out what's driving
America's intense fear of failure and how we can bounce back and thrive from
life's unavoidable losses.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Win at Losing is an engaging, enlightening guide to
surviving and thriving from adversity, using lessons from famous figures who
have faced major, very public defeats and emerged stronger and more successful
from them. Blending first-hand interviews and advice from pro athletes,
business executives, politicians, and Hollywood stars, with expert analysis
from leading psychologists and coaches, this motivating book reveals how
legendary leaders overcame and even triumphed from loss, humiliation, and
rejection--showing how we all can harness the power of failure to achieve what
we want in life.</div>

Laurie Coombs experiences God's transforming and redemptive power in her new book, <em><a href="http://lauriecoombs.org/books/letters-from-my-fathers-murderer-a-journey-of-forgiveness/" target="_blank">Letters from My Father's Murderer</a></em>.</strong> When her father was murdered, Laurie Coombs and her family sought justice―and found it. Yet, despite the swift punishment of the killer, Laurie found herself increasingly full of pain, bitterness, and anger she couldn’t control. It was the call to love and forgive her father’s murderer that set her, the murderer, and several other inmates on the journey that would truly change their lives forever.

<span class="ez-dc-yellow"> G</span>od tells the Sun to Shine is a short story about ambition, love, intrigue and forgiveness. The main character is the second-born of twin boys Esau and Jacob. Jacob struggles to come to terms with the privileges that the natural birth order accords the first-born twin Esau. He becomes so obsessed with the desire to become the alpha male in the family enterprise that he plots with their mum to upstage Esau. Although his plan succeeds, he is forced to flee the homeland after Esau plots to kill him in retaliation. For two decades, his life in exile is marked by turmoil in love, marriage and work. When a business arrangement goes pear shaped and he is faced with bankruptcy and the loss of his family, he decides instead to return to his country and face his nemesis - Esau. <i>How will Jacob manoeuvre his way through the ordeal?</i><br />

She knocked on the ceiling, and they scratched back. Imagining what they thought and felt, she wrote The Bravest Squirrel Ever and then continued their adventures with <i>The Bravest Squirrel in the Forest</i>, <i>The Bravest Squirrel in School</i>, and <i>The Bravest Squirrel Drives a Race Car</i>.
Although her attic is currently vacant, the squirrels outnumber the humans in her neighborhood and could decide to take over at any moment. She watches for signs of invasion as she plots more stories of squirrel bravery.

<br />
Nightmares really do come true, and for fifteen-year-old Kyler Birkwood, they are just beginning. Raised on a farm by his Aunt Martha, Kyler has no clue about the magical heritage swimming through his blood. When he discovers evidence of a mythical creature, a terrifying beast thought only to exist in fairy tales, his safe world shatters.
Left at a school of magic to hunt for clues, he is overwhelmed and disbelieved. As loved ones begin disappearing and Orcs roam the land, Kyler must undergo a journey that takes him from the High Courts of the King to the unknown forests of the East. His magic just awakening, Kyler is the lone hope for a world that will not listen.<br />

<b>Book Summary: </b>A parade! Watch from the sidelines, as a little fellow follows the magnificent marching band go by. He is overcome by the sounds of the big brass band, and every instrument is his favorite. How can he decide which instrument he will play? Will it be a bassoon, a drum, a tuba? In this delightful rhyming tale about a parade, a band, and a boy, Pam Bonsper and illustrator Jessica Ziegler take us on a very loud, decision-making journey while we learn the names of the instruments in a marching band. But be aware...your children may want an instrument after reading this book! Which instrument will they choose?<br />

About the Book</h2>
<b>Title: </b>John Bloom and the Garden of Victory | <b>Author: </b>Leigh Shearin | <b>Publication Date: </b>October 27, 2014 | <b> Publisher:</b> Independent | <b> Pages: </b>195<b> | Recommended Ages: </b>9+<b>
</b>
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Book Summary: </b>John Bloom and the Victory Garden is the rollicking tale of 3 boys at the dawn of America's involvement in WWII. John Bloom, and his best friends Joe and Chewie live, play, and get into adventures in 1940's era Appleside, NJ. Because children are generally joyful and tend to put more importance on the goings-on of their own worlds than those of grown-ups, the events of the war are woven into the boy's daily lives. Along the way, a bitter and cynical old man is drawn into their hijinks, and contributes his own joy to the lives of these 3.
Chapter One invites the reader to join John and his friends in Appleside, NJ on the afternoon of December 6th, 1941. Through newspaper headlines and radio bulletins, the boys learn about the incredible events of the war- beginning with the attack on Hawaii by the Empire of Japan. As the story moves along, John and his friends learn that everyone- not just soldiers- can make a difference. They learn that commitment leads to ultimate success and that taking a seemingly insurmountable task one step at a time will make that task simple. John, Joe and Chewie learn about where their food comes from, and how important good food is to the Allies overseas.
John Bloom and the Victory Garden is not just a story of Homefront USA during WWII. Its about faith, endurance and sturdy values that transcend time and cultural differences. It's about accepting tough times, struggle and adversity and overcoming them anyway. It's about seeing the humor in life, and helping others to see the humor too.
But mostly, they just have a gut-busting great time!<br />

<br />
Sometimes love only comes once in a lifetime. For some lucky people, it is possible to love again.
Melody and Jack had shared an unforgettable love story that abruptly came to an end. Melody, left picking up the pieces, finds herself alone years later, with no hope or desire to date again. With the holiday season approaching, Melody finds it particularly difficult to get Jack out of her thoughts.
Jack isn’t sure if he’s an angel or a ghost, but his mind is set on one thing only, finding a new love for Melody by Christmas Eve at midnight. Easier said than done, with many obstacles to tackle, Jack underestimates how difficult the task is. With conflicting emotions, Jack takes it upon himself to find a man for a woman he still loves.
With the clock ticking as the holidays approach, this charming story of finding love the second time around will have you laughing and crying, but ultimately, it will have you believing in true love.<br />

"This early chapter book is perfect for children ages six through ten. It does not portray wimpy princesses, but strong, respectful and independent female role models involved in many adventures in which they learn to overcome their weaknesses, act against bullying, and cooperate with friends and family to promote human welfare and peace. Short chapters interspersed with illustrations will maintain interest if the book is read aloud for younger children. Introduce your little princess to this one." <i>~ 5 Star Review, Barbara M., Amazon</i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">

A new series for girls, offering a fun way to learn valuable life lessons." ~ <i>5 Star Review, M.J. Kinsmen, Amazon</i></div>

<br />
Ashley isn't looking for love. She has a dream to travel the world, and getting tied down by a man doesn't fit into her plans. Relationships always get so complicated, and men always lie. It's better just to have some fun and no one gets hurt.<br />
<br />
When she graduates college and the job offers don't come rolling in, her life continues as usual: working as the manager of a college town bar and hanging out with her friends. Then a tragic event pushes her to take a chance on romance.<br />
<br />
But things are not always as they seem, and Ashley’s white knight has secrets. Her friends try to tell her something isn't right, but her common sense is smothered by his kisses and soft endearments.<br />
<br />
When the job offer she has always wanted arrives, will she follow her heart and choose love, or follow her life-long dream?<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Summary: </b>A loud, hissing sound filled the air. The unicorns looked up, their eyes filled with horror.
Azaria, a unicorn colt, is intrigued when the young clairvoyant dinosaur, Darius, foresees a terrifying change in the world. When a giant fireball smashes into the earth, the unicorns struggle to survive the hurricanes and starvation that follow. Danger of a more sinister nature threatens when the creatures-that-walk-on-two-legs settle in the valley and their leader, Ishmael, discovers the healing power of the unicorns’ horns. Azaria, now a young stallion, must use his wits to save the herd from complete extinction.

The Buzz About the Book</h2>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"<i><b>The Shadow of the Unicorn</b></i> provides an innovative and interesting plotline exploring how the fictional unicorns, the extinct dinosaurs, and early humans may have interacted if they co-existed in a post-apocalyptic world. Suzanne de Montigny does an excellent job of exploring the themes of natural disasters and environmental change, human greed, compassion, and courage. At the end of the day, <i><b>The Shadow of the Unicorn</b></i> is an entertaining read that I think will be enjoyed by children who love the fantasy genre and are keen on reading about unicorns. Ages 9+" ~ <a href="http://motherdaughterbookreviews.com/25-book-blast-giveaway-the-shadow-of-the-unicorn-by-suzanne-de-montigny/" target="_blank" title="$25 Book Blast Giveaway: The Shadow of the Unicorn by Suzanne de Montigny"><i>Renee @ Mother Daughter Book Reviews</i></a></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"Kudos to Ms. de Montigny for writing an original variation on the fantasy epic--unicorns intermingling with dinosaurs! The book's themes include the humane and environmental concerns that Watership Down and the films of Hayao Miyazaki have in common. If you have a middle grader or are just young at heart, pick up The Shadow Of The Unicorn." <i>~ 5 Star Review, Stuart W., Amazon</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"The Shadow of the Unicorn is a must-read for all unicorn lovers, but even more so for the ones, like my self, who hadn't read anything about them yet. It is a thrilling and encouraging story about a young unicorn that has to save his herd after a meteor nearly destroyed their environment and killed the dinosaurs. Suzanne de Montigny created a compelling universe with believable characters and a great adventure story to challenge them with. While the story finishes in this book, I can't wait to read about the new adventures the unicorns will face.." <i>~ 5 Star Review, Antje H., Amazon</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
"This story pulled me in with a beautiful portrayal of a time and place where unicorns and dinosaurs live side by side. It moved me forward with unexpected twist and turns (a requirement in any good story). I found it hard to put the book down and was totally engaged in seeing the young characters (unicorns and dinosaurs) survive and grow because of the challenges they faced." <i>~ 5 Star Review, NW Harris, Amazon</i></div>

"What a delightfully unique book. Unicorns and dinosaurs facing changing conditions. Darius is a young dinosaur capable of seeing the future. Azaria is a young unicorn who becomes a friend and learns from Darius. Yes, there are humans in this book. They are the villains of the story. Greedy beasts. I think both boys and girls will love this story. Very quick paced and easy to read. A delightful story, and I look forward to more from this author<i>.</i>"<i> ~ 5 Star Review, DM Lawrence, Amazon</i></div>

"Jewel of Peru took me on an adventure from page one. Sharon Skretting has captured Peru and deftly woven elements of the culture and geography into a fast-paced treasure hunt. It was well written, entertaining and introduced me to new ideas. I loved making little discoveries along the way about the people and places. I found some of the features of Peru so interesting, I looked them up the Internet and was delighted to find things just as she described. Fact and fantasy blend seamlessly in this delightful tale."<i> ~ Sara Marschand, <i>Quiethouse Copy Editing</i></i></div>

I think at its core, the story is about learning how to be open with others, to tell them how you're really feeling about situations that are emotionally damaging them. Dean, Callie and Eliza all have to do this at some point during the story and once they do, the happily ever after is possible.</span></span></div>

<b>What’s your favorite aspect of the story?</b><br />
One of my favorite aspects is Gina's parents. They've tried for years to do what they thought was right and it strained their character and their relationship. This year, they rejoin the pageant and the town's festivities in a very public way. It's a small part of the story, but a set of vignettes that I love.<br />

<b>Anna Adams</b> wrote her first romance in wet sand. The Atlantic Ocean washed it away, but Anna kept going. Her stories are of love, like the proverbial stone in a lake, making ripples that spread and contract and involve. From Iceland to Hawaii, and points in between, Anna and her own hero share with children and family and friends who’ve become family. All this living and loving gives Anna plenty of fodder for stories of love set in real life. Come along and live them with her!</div>

<b style="font-weight: bold;">Melinda Curtis</b> grew up on an isolated sheep ranch, where mountain lions had been seen and yet she roamed unaccompanied. Being a rather optimistic, clueless of danger, sort she took to playing "what if" games that led her to become an author. She spends days trying to figure out new ways to say "He made her heart pound." That might sound boring, but the challenge keeps her mentally ahead of her 3 kids and college sweetheart husband.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">An Introduction to <i>Flury</i></span></b></div>
<br />
Frosty had a magic hat.<br />
There was no explanation, just a special hat that turned a pile of snow into a walking, talking best friend. Flury is more than that. And doesn’t smoke.<br />
Born on the North Pole, Flury was created by an ancient race of elven that evolved during the Ice Age and continues to live in the polar ice today. Technologically advanced, they sustain themselves with innovation and wisdom. But even the most peaceful settlements encounter danger, such as polar bears. That’s why they invented abominables.<br />
What we call snowmen.<br />
The life of an abominable doesn’t magically spring from a top hat. The heart of an abominable is a metal orb—an intricately carved sphere that generates an electromagnetic field and builds a body of snow around it. Abominables are intimidating and selfless. They run, they fly. Above all else, they protect.<br />
In the late 1800s, Malcolm Toye was part of an arctic voyage that ended in disaster. The survivors of the expedition never saw him again. Malcolm had wandered into the snowy landscape to be saved by a patrolling abominable he would come to know as Flury.<br />
His rescue, however, became more of a curse than a blessing when the elven refused to allow him safe passage back home, insisting they remain secret from humanity. Malcolm was destined to live out his days among the elven, pining for home.<br />
Longing for his wife.<br />
Malcolm escaped by stealing the metal orb of Flury. Quietly, he arrived back in the United States to settle down and resume a normal life. But there was nothing normal about it. As the years went by, his estate becomes shrouded in mystery and rumors.<br />
A hundred years will go by before the mystery is solved.<br />
Oliver Toye, a teenage type 1 diabetic, will discover the magic hidden on his grandmother’s property. He’ll read about Malcolm Toye’s journey when he finds a set of leather bound journals. He’ll see the snowman trapped on the property, and the other things that haunt the forest. Most importantly, he’ll uncover Malcolm Toye’s master plan to harm others. And why he wants to.<br />
Flury will come to Oliver’s rescue more than once.</div>

Life hasn’t been kind to Oliver Toye.<br />
<br />
As if juvenile diabetes isn’t enough, he’s forced to live with his tyrannical grandmother in a snow-bound house. He spends his days doing chores and the nights listening to the forest rumble.<br />
<br />
But when he discovers the first leather-bound journal, the family secrets begin to surface. The mystery of his great-grandfather’s voyage to the North Pole is revealed. That’s when the snowman appears.<br />
<br />
Magical and mysterious, the snowman will save Oliver more than once. But when the time comes for Oliver to discover the truth, will he have the courage? When Flury needs him, will he have the strength? When believing isn’t enough, will he save the snowman from melting away?<br />
<br />
Because sometimes even magic needs a little help.<br />

During the day, I'm a horticulturist. While I've spent much of my career designing landscapes or diagnosing dying plants, I've always been a storyteller. My writing career began with magazine columns, landscape design textbooks, and a gardening column at the Post and Courier (Charleston, SC). However, I've always fancied fiction.<br />
<br />
My grandpa never graduated high school. He retired from a steel mill in the mid-70s. He was uneducated, but he was a voracious reader. I remember going through his bookshelves of paperback sci-fi novels, smelling musty old paper, pulling Piers Anthony and Isaac Asimov off shelf and promising to bring them back. I was fascinated by robots that could think and act like people. What happened when they died?<br />
<br />
I'm a cynical reader. I demand the writer sweep me into his/her story and carry me to the end. I'd rather sail a boat than climb a mountain. That's the sort of stuff I want to write, not the assigned reading we got in school. I want to create stories that kept you up late.<br />
<br />
Having a story unfold inside your head is an experience different than reading. You connect with characters in a deeper, more meaningful way. You feel them, empathize with them, cheer for them and even mourn. The challenge is to get the reader to experience the same thing, even if it's only a fraction of what the writer feels. Not so easy.<br />
<br />
In 2008, I won the South Carolina Fiction Open with Four Letter Words, a short story inspired by my grandfather and Alzheimer's Disease. My first step as a novelist began when I developed a story to encourage my young son to read. This story became The Socket Greeny Saga. Socket tapped into my lifetime fascination with consciousness and identity, but this character does it from a young adult's struggle with his place in the world.<br />
<br />
After Socket, I thought I was done with fiction. But then the ideas kept coming, and I kept writing. Most of my work investigates the human condition and the meaning of life, but not in ordinary fashion. About half of my work is Young Adult (Socket Greeny, Claus, Foreverland) because it speaks to that age of indecision and the struggle with identity. But I like to venture into adult fiction (Halfskin, Drayton) so I can cuss. Either way, I like to be entertaining.<br />
<br />
And I'm a big fan of plot twists.</div>

<b>Summary: </b>Continuing the adventure that began in Egypt a few months prior in <i>The Secret of the Sacred Scarab</i>, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair are hot on the trail of the second Stone of Power, one of seven ancient stones lost centuries ago. This stone might be embedded in the hilt of a newly discovered sword that archaeologists believe belonged to King Arthur: Excalibur. However, their long-standing enemy, Dr. Khalid, is following them as they travel to Scotland to investigate an old castle. Little do they know there is another deadly force, the Eaters of Poison, who have their own mission to complete. Can Justin and Adam find the second Stone of Power and survive? And why did Aunt Isabel send a girl with them? And how annoying for them that their tag-along companion, Kim, seems to have such good ideas when they are stumped.<br />

Torn away from all he holds dear, the despondent cat fears he may never be able to return to the present and his beloved owner, Jemima. What will become of him? Will he make it back or will he be condemned to remain forever in a distant time and place, far from home?<br />

<b>Summary: </b>Armed with what she considers her grandmother’s curse, 15-year-old Rosa agrees to help the ghost of King Tut find his lost queen Hesena. Though Hesena’s <i>ba</i> inhabits part of Rosa, finding the whole spirit of Hesena so that she and Tut can be together for the first time in over 3300 years proves to be a harder task than Rosa first thinks. Thrust back into Ancient Egypt with Tut, Rosa discovers that finding Hesena is not all she must do. She must keep out of the reach of the living Horemheb—who crosses mortal boundaries using Seth’s evil magic—if she is to stay alive to make it back home.<br />

<span class="ez-shadow-dark" style="color: blue; font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;">About the Book:</span></h4>
<span class="ez-dc-green"><span style="color: #005073; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 75px; line-height: 60px;">T</span></span></span>ake an insightful journey into deeper relationship with God through the biblical names of God. Beginning in Babel and ending with a burning Babylon, The Name Quest builds faith and encourages spiritual growth.
The names of God are like a rainbow—each name expresses part of the spectrum of the character and attributes of God. God is a personality with a multifaceted character too integrated and dynamic to compartmentalize. God’s names are best examined in clusters, around common themes. So that is how the chapters are organized.
Along the way, the author tenderly answers tough questions:
Which of the Hebrew names of God is His personal name—Yahweh or Jehovah?
What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name?
How can we relate to the Holy God and the Judge?
Why is a God of love called the “Jealous God”?
What does it mean to call Jesus the Messiah?
The Name Quest mentions all the names of God in the Bible while explaining their significance in ordinary language. The author weaves together fifteen years of Bible study research with plentiful illustrations and humorous anecdotes. These include lessons learned as a pastor on a Caribbean island. A visit to a Welsh hill farm introduces a chapter about the Good Shepherd. The story of a Hungarian political prisoner illustrates the meaning of Immanuel (or is it Emmanuel?) A rescue from the slopes of an active volcano helps explain salvation and the meaning of Jesus’ Hebrew name, Yeshua. Even the clever advertisement on a packet of potato chips offers a lesson about how to grow in faith in God.
Unlike chasing rainbows, the spiritual journey has an end. The Name Quest is a road map for every Christian’s spiritual journey and it points to the destination—being formed into the image of Jesus Christ.

<br />
The Realm of Feyron has always been. It is the origin of all things magical, the axis point where all the worlds meet. Once, in days gone by, there were many gateways within the Temple of Pyli connecting the Worlds Beyond seeded with magic to their home. Now many gateways have flickered out, and Feyron weakens as the magic fades and the Guardians are lost.<br />
<br />
For the first time in over three hundred years a Dreamweaver has come of age and is tasked with contacting the Guardians. When she awakens in the night after a vision of her best friend lost and alone, injured in the snows at the top of the Crystal Mountains, she seeks out the Sacred Fire in the Temple in an attempt to call forth more information. A voice calls out from the fire, "Dreamweaver, you are summoned." An image appears of an ancient path through the Mist Shrouded Forest leading to a hidden gate into the Crystal Caverns below the mountains. The Guardians have summoned her on a quest that will take her to the four realms of light within Feyron in search of answers and aid.<br />

The Guardians have awakened after the Time of Sleep and returned to renew the magic with the clans of Faie. At the request of the Guardian, Lord Grypos, Keeper of Knowledge, the Master Scholar travels through the Outer Gateway with craftsmen and apprentices to coordinate the repairs of the once great oasis that houses the ancient archives of knowledge known as the Island in the Sands. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the summer wanes and the oasis begins to return to its former glory, the Guardian calls the Master Scholar to the meditation room in the wee hours of the night to discuss a journey. In the fire an image flickers of the red desert sands speeding past, a land of grey beyond the desert, and a cavern of twilight behind an obsidian wall. “Arwyn and Shyamal are to go there for me to seek out that which was once mine.” </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What starts as a seemingly simple journey becomes an adventure with life threatening consequences as the two are unexpectedly joined by their friends on a journey far from home beyond the realms of light in a realm that few within the clans of Faie knew could even be reached.</div>

Old relics and have stories of their own. Sometimes they contain adventures waiting to be sparked and journeys bursting to begin.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Box of Melodies was left with Clan Caris by Lady Oyisha, daughter of the mists, for care and keeping. A series of visions revealing the last desperate moments of a forgotten clan - the loss of their gateway to Feyron and the escape of a lone traveler holding the box - spurs a handful of adventuresome youth on a trek through the Lesser Forest where they inadvertently cause a ripple through the mists with unintended consequences.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few of the youth find themselves on an unexpected journey to a World Beyond, lost in mist and shadow, where misunderstanding and suspicion lead to danger and darkness. Forgotten histories are discovered, clan secrets are revealed, and old alliances are remembered as the families of the lost seek to discover where the youth have been drawn by the memories within the Mists of Time.</div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">Diana lives in the balmy climate of the US south with her husband, two children, two dogs, two cats, and a cantakerous rabbit. She enjoys reading, sewing (clothing, costuming, and experimental toy making), and RPG games. (She grew up with the old school paper/pencil style of gaming, but has transitioned happily to the highly interactive world of video games.)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px;">The idea for Feyron started with a map, a place for her daughter to tell stories and live out storytelling role playing adventures with her friends. The lore grew around the map, for every world needs lore if you are going to “live” there. The idea for a series, Tales from Feyron, grew out of the lore, for if you’re going to invent a world, you may as well play there too. The stories are continuing to grow through the various historical ages of Feyron and may yet “ripple” outwards to the Worlds Beyond touched by magic.</span></span></div>

About the Author & Illustrator: Subhash & Sujata Kommuru</h2>
<br />
<a href="http://kommurubooks.com/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Subhash and Sujata Kommuru" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-20552" src="http://motherdaughterbookreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Subhash-and-Sujata-Kommuru.jpg" height="138" width="190" /></a>Subhash and Sujata Kommuru hail from India. They migrated to the United States along with their memories of childhood and youth. Now that they are parents, just like every immigrant they crave to introduce their child to the culture and values of their upbringing. Yet it is challenging to teach something while you are in the midst of adjusting to a different culture yourself.
Subhash and Sujata both work in different disciplines and have different styles and backgrounds, but it is the upbringing of their son that brings them on the same page. That exact place where they meet is captured and reflected in their stories, where Subhash can express in words, and Sujata can illustrate them beautifully. Where he puts it in black and white, she adds color to it. You get the idea!
These stories are their attempt to share a glimpse of their childhood days with their son. He is their inspiration to write short stories that have meaning to them and provide teaching in some shape or form.<br />

<br />
Andromeda Reynolds is being hunted. After witnessing her mother's violent death at the hands of a pack of wolf shifters, Andie has devoted her life to protecting her community of cougar shifters from a similar fate. But now, a greater threat lies within her own pack, and she must run. If she stays, Kyle Carstairs will force their mating, seeking the added political power their union would provide.<br />
<br />
Andie would rather chew off her own foot than end up with Kyle. Though, knowing him, she won't live long either way. Andie's only hope of survival is to mate Jaxon Keller, the Alpha of the Keller Dare with which she is seeking asylum. But before she can get to him, Andie must first go through A.J., one of the Alpha's Protectors. What Andie doesn't realize is that A.J. has secrets of his own. All Andie knows is that the incredibly frustrating shifter insists on challenging her story, her skills, her trust…and her heart.<br />
