AG Book Club Adventure~ Golden and Ethan’s My Life with Autism

Standard

Good Day Folks,

I am having a grand adventure at Anchor Group Publishing book club. This month  we had two books to read, enjoy and report on.

Ethan's Story My Life with Autism Just click on the cover to take you to the amazon link.

The first book is a Children’s book called Ethan’s Story: My Life with Autism

This book is written from an child’s point of view and Ethan did a fabulous job  relating his story.  The book is colorful and fun. While at the same time teaches us the struggles and misunderstanding of children with autism. My girls read the book and thought it was quite interesting. They have an autism program at their school. And at times would come home and ask why did a AI child to this or that. After reading the book and being exposed properly at school they now have a better understanding and realize these children have the same struggles as they do in school. They  just have a different way it is portrayed in the public.  I found this read insightful, fun and interesting. And Yes Ethan we are the way we are and its a good thing we all have special gifts and struggle. I am purchasing this book for our schools Autistic program at the school. I hope the school will incorporate the book at the school and use it as a learning tool.You can keep up with Ethan’s adventures on Facebook  at http://www.facebook.com/EthansStoryMyLifeWithAutism

 

Golden - Monika Pardon The Second book we were given to read was Golden by Monika Pardon

Just click on the cover for link to amazon.

 I loved this book. The story begins with a young gal attending her Grandmother’s funeral. Everyone is against her for some reason, she cannot trust anyone. Then while in the woods she has an encounter with three bears. Yes three bears. She has been changed into something and finds out how important she is to the world or worlds. A lot for this young lady to take on she does not really know who to turn to or trust. There is a handsome young man of course but is he on her side or her enemies. Not to give away anymore of the story.  I recommend this good read. It was fun and a clever way to find out what happens after an encounter with three bears in the woods. Down load today you will enjoy the adventure. You can keep up with the author Monika Pardon on facebook at

Thursday Thriller Adventure! More than Magic indeed!

Standard

Good Day Folks,

Today I have a Thursday Thriller Adventure for you. More than Magic: Semester Abroad by Elizabeth Kirke

More than Magic: Semester Abroad

Well this is quite the thriller and more. Jen is excited about her summer abroad on a cruise ship and traveling to new places and meeting new people. Boy did she meet some new characters for sure! Then the unexpected happens and she is thrust into a new world of magic and magical beings. Her life has changed for ever. Will she live her life as it has been or will she embrace the world of magical beings living amongst us mere mortals. Or will she have no choice?  More than Magic indeed! I loved this story. You will have to read to find out what happens to this gal The visuals were spectacular. Quite the cruise. Full of wit, new friends,enemies, adventure, live changing, excitement and magic.  I wish my cruise was this much fun. I find them boring and mostly filled with boring people. I highly recommend this read. Look forward to second one in the series.

A little about the Author Elizabeth Kirke ~

Elizabeth Kirke wanted to be an author before she even knew what an author was. She used to say that she wanted to be an artist, but that was only because she was too young to write and had to tell stories with pictures instead. She hasn’t stopped writing since she learned how. It wasn’t long before she dreamed of becoming an author and couldn’t be happier now that that dream is a reality.

If she isn’t writing…well, let’s be honest; if she isn’t writing she’s probably on Facebook thinking that she should start writing. But, if she isn’t writing or on Facebook, she’s probably doing something involving books, baking, gardening, or yarn. In an ideal world, she’d be reading and knitting while something from the garden is in the oven. Then again, in an ideal world, she’d have a flock of ducks and a couple of goats.

Like most slightly-nosy, avid readers, Elizabeth can’t resist trying to catch a peek at books she sees people reading when out in public to see if she can figure out what it is. While doing just that one day, she realized that it would probably be the coolest-thing-ever if she caught a complete stranger reading one of her books. That’s her new dream.

Dawn Gray’s S.P.I.R.I.T Adventure

Standard

Good Day Folks,

 

Wow, what an adventure. Action never stops.

Finished Spirit by Author Dawn Gray, really enjoyed the story. Exciting story, not what I expected. Zander and Samantha unravel a spooky paranormal mystery. Ms Gray has wonderful supporting characters weaved into the story. I like the cigar smoking Captain always trying to contain the uncontainable.  Paranormal spooks and government spooks what could be better. Oh and throw in a little titillating romance too. Can’t wait to read book 2.   If you liked X-files I am pretty sure you will like this book. Recommend

Side Kick Adventure

Standard

Good Day Folks,

Well I guess today is talk like a pirate day.  Shivery me timbers I have to wait until November for Stacey Rourke’s next Gryphon story. But alas mateys she has a short companion side kick story to tie us over. This adventure let us know who, what , when, where and how, Celeste’s sidekicks are doing in their day to day routine. Their is a surprise ending for us too and we are all invited.If you have read Conduit and Embrace you will love Sidekick Chronicles Gryphon Novella.

Download it today its only 99 cents and a fun quick read.

Now you can read about these sidekicks. Let’s talk sidekicks. I have many side kicks. Some folks consider me a leader.  I always considered my self a support member but I guess I do like to build teams to accomplish a goal. When I have a team I assess their strengths and weakness’s. Once I know what folks can do well, I let them run with those gifts and ignore their weakness’s. Once I build the team I  prefer to take a roll of cheerleader as goals are accomplished and let some one else take the stage. I take the lead when a ship is taking on water  and fix the leak and move the ship forward. I do not like to let good ships sink. Or I jump abroad full speed ahead of a well running ship like Anchor Group Publishing. When I hired There for You Editing. Dear sweet Melissa Ringstad suggested I send my stories to Anchor Group. Best advice I received. Been smooth sailing ever since. Anchor Group with Stacey Rourke as captain and Melissa as her first mate is one well run ship. I am glad I was allowed to jump abroad.  I also have been enjoying teaming up with three other kids authors. Cindy Springsteen, Jodi Stone and I are sailing along as a sidekick ship to Anchor Groups Big ship and have  been building a promo crew called  Lil Anchors. It has been so much fun and all of our crew have been spectacular. Big Thanks go out to the Lil Anchor Crew  they are a fun bunch, creative and help  promote our books. I prefer to stand in the back of the room and watch what was started or pushed forward and see the faces of success.  I surround myself with people who are willing to move forward on a project. I am lucky so far I have not made to many enemies along the way.  Mostly very good friends.

As you set sail on your adventure remember to fill the ship with lots of side kicks. WB

The Many Lives of Avery Snow Review

Standard

The Many Lives of Avery Snow Cover for 'The Many Lives of Avery Snow'

By Christy Sloat
Published by Anchor Group
Rating: 1 star1 star1 star1 star1 star

ISBN: 9780985266332
Short Description: Do you believe in reincarnation and a love that can last lifetimes?

I thoroughly enjoyed, Mrs. Sloat’s novel, “The Many Lives of Avery Snow”. It was intriguing from the first page. Mrs. Sloat does an excellent job with character and relationship development. The author draws you into the plot, where a young adult, Avery, begins to recall her previous lives and the meetings with her soul mate in each one. Avery starts to think she is hallucinating when Angels start appearing in her life and she starts having visions. Mrs. Sloat, does an excellent job of portraying the feelings and emotions that accompany the relationships in the books drawing the reader into the story. We wind up being caught in the ever present battle between good and evil.  She builds up to the climax with climbing anticipation, although I felt there was a little missing in some of the characters that showed up at the cabin. The final chapters, that tie everything together are well organized and compelling. They give a tremendous sense of satisfaction without compromising the plot or the point.

Overall I thought this is an excellent, easy read. Mrs. Sloat does a terrific job of integrating the powers of angels and demons, but could have expanded a little more on the psychic realms. Her novel stresses the concept of past lives, and everlasting love without over dramatizing or farfetched logic. Her characters are her strong point, as is her overall plot development.

Get your copy as soon as possible!
