Ellspeth and the dark-haired archmage Lord Dal, escort his mother on a final journey to her ancestral lands. Their plans change when mercenaries under the control of a rogue mage attack. Dal's mother is severely wounded. Ellspeth is captured and her sole hope for escape is Nobyn, an untrained wizard going through the throes of awakening magic. However, Nobyn is Bashim's apprentice and under the mage's total control.

Dal must make an impossible decision whether to rescue Ellspeth, save his mother, or thwart Bashim's plans. More than who lives or dies is at stake.

Dal might be able to live with his responsibility for the death of a loved one, but could he survive killing the future of magic.

3D Sidewalk Art From the Artist's Perspective

This makes me even more in awe of what the artist has to do in order to create the illusion.

I Wish I Said Hello: a project devoted to Missed Connections

By Samantha Dalrymple.  "According to Wikipedia, a ‘missed connection’ is an occurrence where two or more people are unable to exchange contact information or the information that is exchanged is lost. This simple street art project called I Wish I Said Hello encourages everyone to rekindle their missed connection stories in the public space in the form of street art. The goal is not to be another platform for reconnection, rather, a celebration of everyday poetics, a physical mapping of a digital network, and a commentary on the role of technology in human communication. Have you ever had a missed connection? This would be great for you."

Peter and His Wolf Was Reviewed!

PETER AND HIS WOLF was recently reviewed by United By Books!

Description: Remember hearing the musical story by Prokofiev when you were in elementary school? About the boy who lived with his grandfather, and who captured a wolf by the tail? Did you ever wonder if the story was real? Did you ever wonder whatever happened to the wolf? More importantly, did you ever try to guess what happened to Peter after he captured the wolf?
This is the real story that was never told...until now.

My Thoughts: This book is, at 26 pages, a short read. Peter captures a wolf he keeps seeing. He is drawn back to see her one last time and is in for a surprise. I won't say too much since it's such a short read. I liked it, but it wasn't my favorite. I thought it was a bit rushed, but liked the concept. The coupling was hot and the ending was cute. I just wish it was longer to flesh it out a bit more. I will be looking into more of Mooney's work to see what else she has in store for us.

1000 Days - One Writer's Amazing Accomplishment

June Faver is a fellow Texas author of romance fiction, specializing in suspense and contemporary. But what she has recently accomplished is phenomenal.

She has gone 1000 days writing at least 100 words per day.

Now, 100 words isn't much. A typical 12-pt. Times New Roman font, single-spaced page is around 500 words, but it's the fact that she had managed to find a rhythm and persistence to her writing for nearly three straight years.

Congratulations, June! You are an inspiration to writers everywhere!
