<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Sticks & Stones</span></strong><br /><strong>Dianne Beck</strong><br />Published by: Acorn Publishing<br />Publication date: March 18th, 2020<br />Genres: Contemporary, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When fifteen-year-old Emily Greene wakes up to police banging on her door, she is shocked to see her mother arrested on drug charges.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uprooted and in disbelief, Emily moves to a new town to stay with her grandmother, known as Crazy Carol for her outspoken faith and quirky behaviors. As if the arrest isn’t enough, kids at her new school immediately begin to stereotype and judge her based on the news they’ve heard about her mom.</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emily is sure her mother’s fiancé is to blame for the crime. He has conveniently disappeared since the day of the arrest. She’s determined to find him, and prove he’s at fault. But something awful happens, shaking her world yet again.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After this string of tragedies, Emily starts to question God, but is gently and consistently reminded by her grandmother, through stories she tells of all the sticks, leaves, and stones she collects, that God is her good and faithful parent.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Emily must learn that the words others say about her don’t matter, that her mom’s mistakes don’t define her, and she is always deeply loved by her heavenly father. If only she can learn to forgive herself.</div>

<b>My Review:</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This delightful novel is all about one girl's brave journey through loneliness and feeling lost to friendship, love, family, and faith. There was even a dash of romance that was just about right. It is fast-paced and a story that was easy to fall in love with. It was both beautiful and inspiring and I recommend it to lovers of faith-based YA novels.</div>

Dianne’s debut young adult novel, Sticks and Stones, was inspired by her years of teaching, where she saw so many students struggle with varying issues, and also experienced how an understanding ear and relevant literature could make a significant impact on their lives.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fans of Powerless, The Testing, Hunger Games and the Maze Runner will crave this world of iniquitous secrets, intrigue, and desire to find a place in society. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Divinic. Somatic. Psionic. Naturalist. Who will you be? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a superpower is ordinary. Your Power determines your job, social class, and future success. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Ugene doesn’t have a Power. The only thing special about him is that he isn’t special at all. Ugene is Powerless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when the most prominent biomedical research company in the city offers Ugene a solution, he jumps at the possibility to be ordinary. All he has to do is agree to allow them to use him in their research. But the longer he stays at the research facility, the more he realizes something isn't right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friendships are forged. Trust is broken built and broken. And everything Ugene thought he understood and believed is called into question. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who can Ugene trust in his search for answers? What is he willing to sacrifice for Powers? </div>

<div class="Standard">
Three days define who a person will be for the rest of their
life. The day they are born. Testing Day, where their abilities are determined.
And, of course, Career Day, where social status, wealth, and future prospects
are decided for them by an exhibition hall of employers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I passed my birth with great pains. According to stories Mom
told me, my labor gave her particular difficulty. After arriving too soon, too
weak to survive on my own, I lived in an incubator for the first six weeks of
my life in a struggle to survive. It’s why she sometimes—annoyingly—calls me,
“tough guy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Up until Testing Day, everyone—from my teachers to my
neighbors—called me a late bloomer and constantly reassured my parents that
eventually, I would fall into one of the Four Branches of Powers. They said it
as if doing so was something I would just stumble over on the sidewalk one day
and say, “Oh look, there’s my Power!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Testing Day came early in my ninth year of schooling,
alongside everyone else in my class. Those who had already developed their
ability were divided into groups based on their Branch of Power: Somatic for
Powers relating to the body; Naturalist for those with organic Powers; Psionic
for the Power of the mind; and Divinic for those with Powers outside our world.
Mostly, this division left me and three other kids—Mo, Dave, and
Leo—uncategorized. By the end of the day, only I remained unclassified. Testing
Day was a bitter disappointment for everyone in my family— including me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Ordinary people have Powers and prospects. I have neither.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Now I face Career Day, where I get to parade around a
convention center with all the other doe-eyed, eleventh-year students and try to
convince businesses why my Power is worth employment. Except I still don’t have
one, and probably never will.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I’ve dreaded this day for years. Now, there’s no escaping it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Miraculously, my parents haven’t given up on me. They still
hold on to the hope that everything is about to change.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
<o:p></o:p></div>
For all our sakes, I hope they are right.<br />

<div class="Standard">
<b>The Inspiration for Ordinary<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Ordinary was born from a game my husband, stepson, and I used
to play. We would sit in the living room and just come up with “what-if”
scenarios. One of those was: “What if there was a boy who lived in a world
where everyone had a superpower but him, and the only job he could get was
delivering flowers by bicycle?” Obviously, the idea evolved quite a bit from
there in my own mind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
It took a few more years before I actually started planning
the book. I was in undergrad taking a fiction class and we had to begin writing
a book that we shared in small groups to critique. While I had a few book
ideas, the concept for Ordinary really took hold with others. They loved the
reversal of the hero being someone without special powers instead of someone
with them. So I wrote a first draft—and it was terrible. A total mess. But I
was determined to finish it, so I joined a writer’s group who helped me
identify the problems and sort them out. Then I rewrote the book—twice—before I
was satisfied with the final product.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
<b>What Comes After the Ordinary Trilogy?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
While I still have two books for the Ordinary trilogy to
complete, I already have several irons in the fire for what comes next. First,
I’ve had an idea since I was in undergrad for a book or series—I’m not sure
yet—that takes place in the late 15<sup>th</sup> century Mongolia. It will be a
blend of historical and fantasy fiction. It’s about a young woman who is forced
into an arranged marriage, and she has to find out how she fits into this new
world she’s been thrust into. There’s a lot more to the story than that, but
without giving too much away right now, that’s the best, boiled down
description I have to offer.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Another set of series I’ve been working on worldbuilding for
a long time is more of a hard epic fantasy than young adult—think along the
lines of the brutality and character depth of Songs of Ice and Fire. The first
series is about a seemingly endless war between two brothers, and how their
decisions affect not only the people around them but the survival of the world
itself. The second series takes place about a hundred years after that one and
shows how people are still working on recovering from the fallout of that war.
These will probably be a few years off still, but I’m excited about the
journey.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
<b>Exclusive Side Stories for the Ordinary Trilogy<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Can I share a secret? People who enjoy Ordinary will want to
sign up for my newsletter to get a free short story about Dr. Joyce Cass and
her rise to power—a story you can only get from my newsletter. It’s not
available anywhere else, and it won’t be there forever.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
The story is called Superior. I wrote it as an exploration of
Dr. Cass’s character (as a villain) so that I could better understand her
motivation. It also sheds some light on a few of the characters readers will
see in the rest of the Ordinary trilogy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I’m also considering writing a short story about one of
Ugene’s closest friends—though I don’t want to spoil who it is or what the
story is about. If I do, the story will only be available to those on my email
list. I will send it out to current subscribers and offer it as a signup bonus
for new subscribers. So if readers aren’t on my newsletter list yet, they
should consider signing up to get these side stories.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>On Writing Ordinary and the Fantastic Characters<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Writing a book is like taking a really long journey with a
new group of people, only to discover you’re great friends at the end. But
sadly, it’s the end. I enjoyed a lot about writing this book: delving into this
strange and different world; challenging myself to come up with unusual
solutions to ordinary problems; forming a connection with the characters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I’m the sort of reader that loves great characters, and the
characters in Ordinary definitely stood out to me. Ugene often made me laugh,
bringing his clever wit to the table even in grim situations. He really evolved
as a character as well, finding his footing along the way. I enjoyed writing
that and giving him the freedom to take the right path. Miller is the snarky,
distant guy who insists he wants to be left alone while simultaneously throwing
himself into situations right alongside Ugene. Celeste is a reclusive dreamer
who speaks in riddles that make perfect sense to her, even if no one else
understands what they mean. Bianca is that typical out-of-reach girl who Ugene
pines over, and she sees herself as Ugene’s self-appointed protector.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
The cast in the book is actually pretty big, and all of the
characters within that cast have their own unique qualities to bring to the
table. While most of them have nothing in common, they all trust in Ugene, even
when he doesn’t trust himself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
<b>What Makes Ugene Tick: A Character Analysis<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Ugene Powers is the nerdy, weak boy in the corner of the
classroom that no one really notices until he says or does something that makes
him shine. When everyone else developed their Power, Ugene watched and waited.
But nothing happened to him. The lack of Power caused a rift between him and
his father and the two are constantly at odds with each other.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Because of his lack of Power, Ugene spends a lot of time
learning about what causes Powers and how those Powers are part of the DNA.
He’s probably the most well-read seventeen-year-old in the city. He studied all
the research and studied himself to try and find out why he wasn’t like
everyone else. This hunt for answers gave him the exact ammunition he needs
later in the book and the series. Ugene can see things that most others can’t
because he has learned to adapt, and he knows about as much as he can about
Powers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Though Ugene is great at solving puzzles and putting together
pieces when others can’t, he isn’t so great at one-on-one
relationship—particularly with girls. Ugene has a lot of compassion for others,
but he doesn’t always know how to communicate properly. I feel like this
combination of strengths and weaknesses makes him a really unique character to
follow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">

<div class="Standard">
<b>The Origins of the Ordinary Trilogy Titles<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Finding the right title for a book is a tricky business. It
needs to paint a picture of what to expect, while also reflecting on the main
characters. A lot of authors struggle with this, but titles seem to come
naturally to me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Coming up with the title for Ordinary seemed obvious. Ugene
only wants to fit in and be ordinary, and everything he suffers through in the
book is in pursuit of that goal. The title came to me almost immediately, as
did the titles for the rest of the books: Extraordinary; Unique. Each of these
titles shares a goal or clue about what to expect in the book, and what sort of
journey Ugene undertakes in each book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">

<div class="Standard">
<b>Casting Ordinary<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
What author doesn’t love casting their characters in a film?
Seeing a book turned into a film (with good interpretations like Hunger Games
or Harry Potter) is the dream of just about every author I’ve ever met. If I
had casting choices for Ordinary, I would choose these actors—or actors similar
to them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Ugene played by Justice Smith. After watching him in
Detective Pikachu, there was really no one else for the role. He’s perfect in
every way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Bianca Pond played by Auli'i Cravalho (Moana). I haven’t
seen her in any live-action shows or films, but her voice acting in Moana was
outstanding, and she is almost the perfect image of what Bianca looked like in
my mind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Miller played by Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four). He has
the ideal look and attitude to pull off a great Miller!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Enid played by Ashely Boettcher (Alone Together). Ashley has
the stunning but girl-next-door look that I imagined Enid has—a simple,
down-to-earth look. It’s easy to see her as beautiful, even if her character
doesn’t see it herself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Celeste played by Emily Carey (Wonder Woman). She has the
youthful face and wide-eyed innocence that goes with Celeste’s character, and
she has the ability to play a tough character as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Forrest Pond played by Wilmer Valderrama (NCIS). He looks
young enough, but also is clearly older than the others, and his acting chops
are great for a role like this.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
-Dr. Joyce Cass played by Sienna Miller (Layer Cake). This
woman has the chops and can pull off the perfect balance of severe and sincere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">

<b>Why You Must Read Ordinary<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
I’ve read a lot of young adult and fantasy books, and in
almost every one of them, the hero of the story has some greater power than the
other characters. Sometimes it’s based on magic or some sort of alteration to
their DNA. Sometimes it just happens because of who their parents are. The
characters are thrown into a situation outside of their comfort zone and have
to find a way to survive.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
While Ordinary isn’t so different from those stories, it also
isn’t the same. Ugene doesn’t throw himself out of his comfort zone—he loves
Power-based research and wanted to work for Paragon—and he doesn’t have a
superpower that makes him special. Instead, he uses his brain, finds the logic
in various situations, and solves the puzzle to get out of those situations.
Early readers compared him to a post-apocalyptic Sherlock Holmes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Ugene is also a bit of a reluctant hero. People gravitate
toward him and listen to him even when he doesn’t understand why, but his
natural ability to see things with clarity that others lack, and his compassion
for others, draws people to him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
I also loved the idea that Ugene isn’t super powerful like
most of the heroes in these sorts of stories tend to be. He has no real power
at all, yet he still has to find a way to escape his situation against all
odds. After all, how does someone with no power stand up to those with powers?<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Favorite Scene Edited out of Ordinary, and How the Book
Changed on Rewrites<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="Standard">
Writing and editing is a trying process. A lot of blood,
sweat, and tears go into creating a great novel. Sometimes, that means
cutting out sections of scenes that end up no working for the flow of the plot.
In the case of Ordinary, it was actually most of the book. While there are
still tidbits of that first draft blended in, most of the story has changed. At
first, Ugene underwent a series of grueling tests against each of the Four
Branches of Powers. Some were simple smell tests, while others were much more
intense.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
A favorite that ended up getting cut out of the book was this
scene where Ugene is in the hospital wing with Forrest, and there’s a man dying
on one of the beds. Forrest just steps back and says, “Fix him” without
offering any sort of guidance. Ugene has no medical training and no healing
abilities, so he flounders and watches as the guy dies while Forrest does
nothing at all to help. The scene was intense, but it ended up not working with
the way the story went during rewrites.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard">
Most of the changes were made because the situation wasn’t
challenging enough, and the ending wasn’t satisfying enough. Ugene just
couldn’t properly transform under the circumstances he was initially put
through, but after making serious adjustments, that quickly changed.<o:p></o:p></div>

STARR Z. DAVIES is a Midwesterner at heart and lives in Wisconsin with her husband and kids. From a young age, Starr has been obsessed with superheroes like Batman and Captain America, which inspired her novel, ORDINARY. If Starr had a superpower, she would be an Empath, because she is an emotional sponge and easily relates to how others feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While pursuing a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin, Starr gained a reputation as the “Character Assassin” because she has a habit of utterly destroying her characters both emotionally and physically. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In her free time, Starr loves watching Doctor Who or anything with superheroes, reading books (duh!), writing about her favorite fantasy stories (Song of Ice and Fire, Mistborn, The Wheel of Time), and staring out the window as she dreams up more stories. Oh, and sometimes she steps out the door. </div>

<b>Ember Hawk</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Katrosi Revolution Book 1 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by Jamie Foley </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Genre: YA Fantasy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/emberhawk-about-the-book_orig.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="76" data-original-width="403" height="60" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/emberhawk-about-the-book_orig.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The elementals have decided they're gods, and humans are nothing but fuel for their fire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A starving trapper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merciless drought withers Kira's ranch, leaving her family hungry—and desperate enough to cross the border into the forbidden forest to trap wild game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the forest is infested with tree-scorpions and giant cats that wield elemental invisibility, and they're hungry, too. When Kira mistakes one elemental creature for another, she ends up with the last thing she wants in her trap: an enemy soldier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An invisible spy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryon can't afford to be a prisoner of war. If the Malaano Empire extracts his secrets, the rumors of war will be confirmed—and the tribes stand little chance against the Empire unless they can put aside generations of bad blood for the sake of a Tribal Alliance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Ryon's escape leaves Kira injured and her livelihood in flames, Ryon must choose between aiding her… or returning to his chieftess with vital information. But can he survive the trek when an elemental pursues him for his rejected heritage?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A sacrificial princess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Imperial Princess Vylia is given a powerful ancient stone as her wave singer trials approach. But is the stone's whispering voice from the water goddess, or a masquerading elemental the creator god imprisoned millennia ago?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Vylia's diplomatic mission to the tribal lands erupts in fiery revenge, she, Kira, and Ryon must work together to survive—or become pawns in the battle of the gods. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One good look at this cover and I was in love with Emberhawk. Even better, the story doesn't disappoint one iota! And such a cool, unique world! Wow! I loved the characters. They were full of empathy, likeability, relatability, huge dynamics, and well-developed. I especially liked Lysander...lol. The world-building and plot itself were such a great adventure. So if you are looking for a story with high stakes danger, witty banter, and a sprinkle of romance, Emberhawk is for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Highly recommend for 15+ for some romance, peril, injuries, and mild violence.</div>

A boy without a history -- at least one that he can remember -- Dirk turns to his shape-shifting friends for help. They launch him on a quest involving the one clue he has to his previous existence: a magic talisman.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">There are times I wish I were still a dragon. Not forever, but I sure could have used a set of dragon wings for this journey. And dragon-fire to keep me warm....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">For the past four days, he‘d slogged over frost, snow and ice at a pace worthy of a Roman legionary. He‘d stopped only to eat, sleep, and rub the numbness out of his frozen, blistered toes.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Determined to reach his destination, he‘d raced across the strange, ancient landscape of Britannia. He‘d wandered through eerie, fog-bound woods, farmsteads and bogs; past centuries-old tin and coppermines and even older moss-covered fingers of rock pointing to the sky. He‘d torn his clothes on bramble thorns, dirtied his shoes crossing sheep and cow tracks and come close to tumbling down the sheer, rugged slopes lining the coast. He‘d gone as far west as he could go without leaping off the bluffs.</span></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">A stranger in an unfamiliar yet bewilderingly familiar realm, he hadn‘t lingered to ask about his surroundings. The only history that interested him was his own. The mystery of his origin had compelled him to travel alone during a season better spent huddling by a fire. He hungered for action, hungered for certainty in his uncertain existence, and the journey fed the hunger.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Tall and slim, with raven hair and eyes of a gold hue rare in humans, Dirk possessed the outward appearance of a boy of twelve human years. But he could only remember the past seven months of his existence. For all he knew, his life had begun the previous spring, when he‘d hatched as a dragon.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">But just as birds and reptiles molt, casting off their old feathers and scales, the dragon Dorg shed his skin to become Dirk, the boy hatched as a dragon... but perhaps also born human.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">And now he dwelled in a world as vague and grey as the approaching dusk: a world in which he was not quite human, not quite dragon, and might revert at any moment. Living in two worlds and welcome in neither, he yearned desperately to learn where he truly belonged.</span></div>

Matt's life changes forever when a family of druids moves into the dilapidated Victorian mansion next door. The story of an unlikely friendship, the clash of two completely different cultures, secret magic, and a search for the lost Hawthorne treasure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fifteen-year-old Matt Mitchell was having the worst summer imaginable. Matt’s misery started when a drunk driver killed his mother. Then his father moved him and his twin sister to the small town of Hawthorne in rural Indiana, as far as his grieving father could take from the ocean that Matt's mother had loved. At the new high school, three bullies are determined to make Matt miserable. And to top it off, Matt learns that the recluse who lives in the 'haunted house" next door is none other than Old Lady Hawthorne, the town’s infamous witch and murderer. Matt’s terrible summer is turning into an awful autumn when something quite unexpected happens. Old Lady Hawthorne’s niece and her three children arrive, and Matt meets Gerallt. </div>

A geek by day, Donald Firesmith works as a system and software engineer helping the US Government acquire large, complex software-intensive systems. In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember. He's also proud to have been named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, although his pride is tempered somewhat by his fear that the term "distinguished" makes him sound like a graybeard academic rather than an active engineer whose beard is still slightly more red than gray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action and adventure novels and relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his wife Becky, and his son Dane, and varying numbers of dogs, cats, and birds. </div>

The pictures are of everyday things like people and animals you would see in nature and on planet Earth in general. The pictures allow the reader to come up with answers to help the main character Phrebbel, identify things he has never seen on planet Earth before.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
It was meant to be a good decision. <br />
Lucy Piper used her dreams to irreversibly change the life of someone she loved. It was a heartbreaking choice, but the right one. But now she’s alone, wading through a life she can no longer remember.<br />
What if you made the wrong choice? <br />
As Lucy bears the full weight of her decision, she discovers her actions have had far-reaching consequences beyond anything she could’ve imagined. When she’s faced with a betrayal that makes her question everything she thought to be true, she becomes even more determined to make everything right.<br />
When do you know if you’ve gone too far? <br />
Afraid of an uncertain future, Lucy must work to repair everything she’s destroyed. But there’s something else she must mend, the infinite chasm between her and the one person who always made everything right – Tyler. But what if it’s too late? And what if fixing things only does more damage?<br />
With sacrifice and love at its core, and laced throughout with an unsettling fear, Luminous is the heart-stopping conclusion to the Lucid series.</blockquote>

She spends her days drinking coffee and torturing her characters with loads of tension – both love related and the nail biting kind.<br />
Long before her days of writing began she spent half her childhood in a make believe world; daydreaming about growing up, falling in love, and travelling the world.<br />
She’s worked as a nanny in country England, a junior matron in a boy’s boarding school south of London, a governess in East Timor, and made coffees and cleared tables in the New South Wales snow fields.<br />
She lives with her husband, teenage daughter, and two sons in the beautiful Adelaide Hills where they’re lucky enough to get occasional visits from the local koalas. <br />
She’s terrible at gardening, likes her bookshelves sorted by colour, and recently checked off a lifelong dream of jumping from a plane. <br />
When she’s not writing or daydreaming about her stories, you’ll find her reading, cooking for her family, or doing anything to avoid the housework. </blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Setting the wards is more than a walk around the perimeter, calling out to the elements. They’re keyed into the very being and require blood to take. Cutting my palm, I bring forth fire in the other hand and allow my blood to drip onto the ground. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><i> By Fire I ward thee: </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Heat engulfs me, blowing back the longish strands of my hair, and drawing a line of sweat onto my forehead. I’d never had manifestations like this. My stickh was with the dead. I continue on, ignoring the newly-formed desert in my mouth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Droplets of blood disappear into the earth as if the land itself is making a personal contract. The incense burning on the ground releases a thick puff of sage and cedarwood laden smoke. Maybe it is. A gust of wind threatens to knock me off my feet as its snags at my jacket with hungry hands. I stumble, swaying like a drunkard. The intensity fades to a gentle breeze, and I right myself. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Rumbling from deep beneath my feet shakes the earth, pitching me back like a horse unexpectedly bucking its rider. Blinking, I find myself ass over kettle. I scramble up, and ride the undulating ground like a surfer on a longboard. Feet planted, I try to flow with the vibrations, instinctively knowing participation is required. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">This is my time to prove myself worthy to inherit. Old magic such as this can be nearly sentient. Everything stops abruptly. I fall forward. A mound of dirt piles up beside me. I tense, readying to defend myself from a nocturnal rodent. A tree sapling emerges. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">A streak of lightning slashes through the night angrily. A loud clap of thunder vibrates the ground, and the sky opens above me. Cool rain splatters against my clothes, soaking me to the skin. I finish the walk, completing the circuit. Heaviness slams into my chest. I hit the ground, dazed. My vision darkens, and I feel it. The house is built upon a ley line. The wards take their energy from the source in exchange for protection. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Storm clouds crowd in as rain continues to come in sideways. Thunder booms, performing a duet with the crackling lightning streaking across the night sky. I can taste the magic in the air. Mother’s succession of power has begun. Sitting in the mud, I tilt my head back and open my mouth, swallowing down water to quench my thirst as I try to adjust to the drastic changes my magic has undergone. Energy races inside of me, stretching and reshaping. My skin feels too tight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Ercutians, an ancient race of spell casters that abandoned Earth long ago, have abandoned the ways of their elders. The powerful magic they once used for good has been replaced with destructive spells and incantations, and their once thriving, wonderous lands have turned against them. The destruction of the Ercutian race is imminent. </span></div>

But not all is well within the Great One, for conflicting personalities brood within the single entity, and what was once Great threatens to become tainted, throwing all of Ercutia back into chaos once again. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I’d never met Alec Brock, but nothing felt more real in my sixteen years of existence than the insane, breathtaking, overwhelming feeling of loving him—of being loved by him. Since the first time we had talked in that chat room online, I knew there was something special about the guy, something I hadn’t found in the physical world yet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Falling in love with him felt as natural as breathing. And I know it’s hard to believe, but it had nothing to do with who he was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">No—I’d never given much thought to that. He wasn’t that famous when we met, and even when things got out of control, I couldn’t have cared less about that side of him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I loved Alec because he could access a part of me that no one else could. It was like we both spoke this weird forgotten language that only we could understand, and every time we talked to each other, we were transported to this private little world where I wanted to live forever.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "garamond" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I’d never felt so connected to anyone before—so exposed, so understood. And for the first time in my life, someone seemed to feel the same way about me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">They call me the Scorpion because they don’t know who I really am. All they know is that someone is stealing from people with excess to help people with nothing survive another day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But then a trusted friend reveals who I am―“just” Tessa, “just” a girl―and sends me straight into the arms of the law. All those people I helped…couldn’t help me when I needed it.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">In prison, I find an unlikely ally in Pike, who would have been my enemy on the outside. He represents everything I’m against. Luxury. Excess. The world immediately falling for his gorgeous smile. How he ended up in the dirty cell next to mine is a mystery, but he wants out as much as I do. Together, we have a real chance at escape.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With the sting of betrayal still fresh, Pike and I will seek revenge on those who wronged us. But uncovering all their secrets might turn deadly…</span></div>

<h3>
Excerpt:</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">His fingers brush mine when he takes the knife, and I fight back a shiver, trying to hold my ground.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Scorpion,” he says softly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I brace myself for more Pike wisdom, or maybe even a mention of the kisses we’ve shared that we </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">haven’t </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">mentioned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Instead, he smiles. “You’ve been a very good teacher. Are you sure you want to do this?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “If you say so.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He takes his stance, gaze zeroed in on the board. He’s wearing a simple blue shirt, cut off at the shoulders, and his muscles flex when he lifts his arm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I exhale just as he throws and the knife zooms to the board, hitting inside the widest ring, but not in the middle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> His eyes narrow. I smile.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “I’d like to see you do this with a distraction,” he says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> My heart flutters, but I nod. “No problem.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I step to the line, a whole head shorter than Pike. I feel his eyes on me. In fact, he’s so close, I feel the heat from his body. But I’m focused, and all I can see is the red circle I’m aiming for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I squeeze the blade between my fingers and hold my breath, preparing to throw.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pike blows on my neck.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Chills race across my skin even as I fling the knife. The blade hits the board with a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">thud</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, straight in the middle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pike curses softly and shakes his head. I turn to him, unable to help the smile stretching wide across my face. “See? I know a little something about focus.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “I’m impressed.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Looks like you could use some practice.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “What about on the mat?” He lifts an eyebrow. “Do you have focus there?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Uh…no. But Pike doesn’t need to know that. “I have focus anywhere.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He points. “Mat. Now.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I lift my chin, toss the last knife at the board, and smirk when it hits the center. Then I walk to the mat. I get into my stance before he joins me. I wouldn’t put it past him to attack right away. Pike’s a big fan of not being caught off guard, and he’s taught me accordingly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pike stalks the edge of the mat, knees bent. He feigns a lunge, then laughs when I tense.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “You’re lucky I don’t have a knife,” I say, mock warning in my tone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> He takes a step closer. “Luck has nothing to do with it. It’s all about being prepared. Besides, I don’t want a hole in my side like Mongo.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “He deserved it.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Pike gives me his dangerous smile and takes another step. Almost close enough to reach me. “You’re not saying I deserve to be stabbed, are you?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> My chest vibrates with a low laugh, but I’m still on guard. “No, Pike. Not today, anyway.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> His smile lights his eyes. And suddenly he stands fully, shoulders relaxing, and closes the gap between us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> I draw in a sharp breath. “What are you doing?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “What does it look like?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> His hands skim my arms, making me shiver. I lift my chin to meet his eyes, lips parting slightly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “Pike,” I say, my voice coming out breathless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Then he sweeps my legs from beneath me. I hit the mat hard, banging my elbows. I kick out and almost catch Pike’s leg, but he’s too fast. He bends and snags my arm, twisting it behind my back as he pushes me flat on my stomach. My breath whooshes out, but I don’t struggle. Crap. So much for proving I can’t be distracted.</span></div>

My Review:</h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a rule, I am not a big fan of Dystopian stories - too many bad memories of reading ANIMAL FARM in High School. Lol I chose to give Cindy Wilson's book a try after reading that she'd strongly referenced THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, a fave, and that it was essentially a Robin Hood trope. I am SO glad that I did because this book ROCKS!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cindy did a fabulous job with the character development as well as the relationship dynamics. Her characters are compelling and deal with issues that teens can relate to, such as broken relationships, challenging romances and learning to form new bonds of trust with others. By the end of the book, I felt like I knew them. Her wonderful world-building takes the basics of dystopian sci-fi and puts a fresh spin on it with unique cultural elements, technology, and drama.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was completely drawn to every page. There was no over-the-top angst, just very powerful characters doing the best they could with what was available. While it was written for teens and young adults, it would appeal to all ages. Yes, it is a romance but mainly it’s about trust, kindness, and patience. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall this was a great read, able to be something entirely new and different while at the same time giving a nod to one of my all-time favorite classic stories. I recommend this to anyone who likes great characters, terrific world-building, and YA dystopian books. A total knockout!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Cindy lives at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and loves using Colorado towns and cities as inspiration for settings in her stories. She’s the mother of three girls, who provide plenty of fodder for her YA novels. Cindy writes speculative fiction and YA fiction, filled with a healthy dose of romance. You’ll often find her hiking or listening to any number of playlists while she comes up with her next story idea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I met Keegan when I was on the beach in Florida.<br />
He literally crashed into my world.<br />
I wasn’t looking for romance, but his two-dimpled charm made my heart go
haywire.<br />
<br />
We both had one thing in common: we were here to escape our realities.<br />
One week. Just the two of us. Not a care in the world.<br />
I didn’t know it at the time, but that week would forever change my life.<br />
<br />
Four years later, and as fate would have it, Keegan and I are brought together
again.<br />
It’s as if the universe is telling us this is our second chance.<br />
The more I get to know him, the harder I fall.<br />
Falling hopelessly in love is inevitable with a man like him.<br />
<br />
Only the joke’s on me, because the guy I’m falling for isn’t the man I thought
he was.<br />
You know how the saying goes: Fool me once...<br />
I’ll be damned if I’m fooled again.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just as I’m turning
the page in my book, someone yells, “Watch out!” Unsure of where the voice is
coming from, I look to the left and then to the right, but before I can grasp
what’s happening, the circular object hits my hand, and my book flies out of my
grasp and into the water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Shit! I’m so
sorry.” A half-naked guy comes running over, sand kicking up around him as his
strong legs pound into the ground. The closer he gets, the more of him I’m able
to see, and holy shit, do I like what I see. Messy brown hair I could picture
running my fingers through, tanned, smooth skin I would enjoy kissing and
licking, and if I’m feeling frisky, biting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My eyes rake over
his tattooed, sculpted chest and down to his abs. Two-four-sex… I mean six. God
damn! Look at that six-pack. He must work out, probably several times a day.
Damn, I’d love for him to work me out…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As he jogs over, his
corded arm muscles flex, making it appear as if the ink on his arms is coming
alive, and I briefly imagine holding on to those arms while he fucks me good
and hard. He runs past me, and I follow his every move. When he bends over, I
check out his butt that’s hidden under his low-hanging board shorts as I
fantasize about my legs wrapped around his waist and my heels digging into that
butt…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">But then he turns
around, and in his hands is the now sopping wet copy of <i>Wuthering
Heights</i>, and I instantly snap out of my lust-filled thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Here you go,” he
says sheepishly, the soaking wet book dangling from his fingers. Drops of
saltwater fall down and land on my knee. My eyes meet his, and just as I’m
about to snap at him, the corner of his mouth lifts into a nervous smile, and a
single dimple pops out on his cheek, and once again, I’m momentarily distracted
by just how good-looking he is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Thanks so much.” My
reply drips with sarcasm. Taking the book from him, I examine the saturated,
ruined pages, and mumble, “At least it wasn’t my mom’s copy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’m Keegan.” His
half-smile turns into a cocky grin. Oh, hell, no…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“I’m not
interested.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He throws his head
back with the most beautiful laugh I’ve ever heard. It’s raspy and deep and
sexy. My eyes land on his Adam’s apple, and my tongue darts out, wanting to
lick down his throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Fair enough.” He
nods. “I really am sorry about the book.” His gorgeous forest green eyes meet
mine. “Can I do something to make it up to you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“Like sleep with
me?” I give him a playful smirk. I haven’t slept with many guys, but I’ve had a
couple one-night stands over the last few years. My way of lashing out over my
mom’s death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“No.” He shakes his
head. “We’ve already established you’re not interested. Although, I think,
based on the way you were eye-fucking me on my way over here, I could probably
convince you otherwise.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 8.5pt;">Under a dark and windy night, within a large field, I stand opposite a
magnificent being. Its body is brighter than the sun, and its attire consists
of long silk, a golden gown that sparkles as though it were filled with endless
stars. A large swirling halo hangs just above its head, as the being glares
nervously at me. It is nervous, not because of my physical appearance. After
all, I am just a boy. What it fears, is my capability.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sporting a white robe, I hold a feisty grin - crossing my arms. Dancing
around me, a mysterious thin black sword levitates by my side. Breaking the
silence between the glowing being and me, address the foe. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“What’s the matter? You don’t look so confident… for a
god. Are you not embarrassed?” I ask, tauntingly.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“How dare you insult me? I will not stand for such talk!”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Upon a small chuckle, I slowly blink and respond, “Sigh…
please remind me of your name again? Oh, that’s right, it was Gaudium, correct?
Listen – we both know how this is going to end. Tell me everything I need to
know if you want to keep your immortality.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The godly being shivers before shouting “You… you do not
scare me. On the contrary, it is you who should be scared… by the likes of I:
Gaudium!” Arms stretched forward, the god releases a blinding beam of light
from its hands. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Standing firm, I bat not a single eyelid, as the large
surge of light races directly towards me. Speaking in a monotone fashion, I
whisper to the dancing sword, “Adamas!”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: 8.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On cue, the sword zips protectively in front, as the
projectile arrives only inches apart from me. Astonishingly, the sword cuts
into the light – causing the beam to ricochet into the distance before
colliding and exploding against a distant mountain. The explosion sweeps
outward and rises to the heavens, as I keep a focused stare – watched by the
now speechless deity.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left; text-indent: 11.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left; text-indent: 11.3333px;">This was a magical and fantastical journey through the fantasy world of Popla. I found the world-building to be mystical and unique as the characters followed their lengthy adventure. You never knew what was around the next bend and I was often surprised as I followed along. The primary characters were the trio of Luna, Adamas and Ten however the story was told completely from the point of view of Luna. That gave me some interesting insight into him, his motivations and his feelings. When I reached the end of the book, I felt as though I'd been on the adventure with them and needed to take some time to consider all that had transpired. It was truly unique. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left; text-indent: 11.3333px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left; text-indent: 11.3333px;">As this was one of Ricky Baxter's first fantasy novels, I'll be very interested to see where he goes from here in his writing. I recommend this to lovers of anime, first-person stories and those who are looking for a good, unique read.</span></div>

As the only 7th generation witch-hunter, Hunter Astley is the best the MMC has to offer. With the help of his colleagues, it’s a race to track down this new threat and stop them… in any way he can. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The world has been thrown into darkness by the Shadow Witch's revolution. The witch-hunters are scattered, but still strong. The race is now on to gather allies and win the war. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New enemies will arise; loyalties will be pushed to the limit. And an important question will be answered: can a witch-hunter that practices magic ever be trusted, or will he be persecuted? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is said that 'love conquers all', but this twisted love must stay secret, locked away with the past. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
James Bennett is a Yorkshire lad, making the big move to Oxford to start university.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His ambitions involve getting a good education; impressing the Rugby Club; and not throttling his roommate. All perfectly normal drama, until Hallowe'en. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A girl's murder throws James into the dangerous world of witches, and those that hunt them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After playing a sidekick in the Witch-Hunter trilogy, it's only fair that James gets to be centre stage in his own prequel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This can be read as a stand-alone, and does not contain any spoilers. It may contain witches, bad jokes and cringe-worthy scenes; but definitely no spoilers. </div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">My Review</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really enjoyed this short and sweet cruise ship romance. The characters were so relatable, especially Caitlyn. From the moment she accidentally dropped her phone overboard (with me it was in the tub - cringe!) to when her ex-fiance shows up (with me, I was the last to know I was getting dumped on a trip - grrr!) to her time spent getting to know Greg (yep, and I got my man!) it was one giant ocean-going adventure after the other making it a fun read. I loved the chemistry between the main characters and before long, I was cheering for love to prevail. I think you will too as you escape into this terrific heartwarming book.</div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Trickster</span></strong><br /><strong>Christina Bauer</strong><br />(Angelbound Lincoln, #3)<br />Published by: Monster House Books<br />Publication date: February 25th, 2020<br />Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>***A hilarious adventure after the events of Angelbound SCALA … and it’s all from Prince Lincoln’s point of view!!!***</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the drama of the Soul Towers and Lucifer’s Orb behind them, Myla and Lincoln look forward to sharing some quality time. Perhaps they’ll even do a ‘regular couple thingie’ like a dinner date. Or they could kill more demons together. Myla isn’t picky.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then a trickster gets released inside Antrum’s secure borders. And by trickster, we’re talking a giant orange monkey with magical powers and a love of causing drama with uptight thrax.</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looks like date night is on hold.</div>

<b>My Book Review:</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'd love to spend just one day inside Christina's imagination...but I guess that's what I get to do every time I read one of her books! ;) ;) And how could I NOT be excited to read the next installment in her Angelbound series?? LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just adore Lincoln. He and Myla go together like peanut butter and jelly. <3 <3 <3 Peli was a super trixsy monkey. He kind of reminded me of the fabled Chinese Monkey King. Then there was that evil Earl of Acca (always a good villain), sentient fighting trees and so much more. Lincoln and Myla had to stay on their toes making the adventure and fun good all around. I just loved it all and you will too! Get your copy now!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christina Bauer thinks that fantasy books are like bacon: they just make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots of humor and kick-ass chicks, too.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Christina graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School with BA’s in English along with Television, Radio, and Film Production. She lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.</div>

<b>What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read it?</b><br />
<br />
The core of the story is never to give up because God is always working behind the scenes and can bring people into our lives or change our circumstances right when we most need it. Another big aspect of the book is that things and circumstances don’t define us. Our faith and how we live do.<br />

"An exceptional story of life and love. I love the way the author shows us parts of life of a hero of the military. The things they go through and the pain and suffering it brings to family and friends. . . . I highly recommend this story to everyone who like to read and receive a lift as an extra reward."<br />
<br />
<b>My Publishing Journey</b><br />
<br />
I’ve been writing for a long time. Ever since I was eight, to be exact. I still have the ugly, beat up, green notebook that I wrote my very first little stories in. I had no idea then that I would be a published author. It wasn’t even something I aspired to. I just loved to tell stories, something I inherited from my mom. I might not have even started writing if I hadn’t seen her doing it first. . .<br />

<i>She waited for him to elaborate, but he didn’t. Instead, he switched the topic back to her. “What about your parents? What do they do?”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Well, my dad’s a farmer and my mom was always a stay-at-home mom.” Simple and straightforward. They loved their lives, and she had loved growing up in it. However, her dreams had always been a bit beyond that. Maybe she’d been foolish.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“A country girl, then.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Unbidden, a tiny laugh escaped Alex. “Yes, pretty much. A country girl with big dreams.”</i><br />

<br />
"What an outstanding and feel-good-in-the-end book! Two characters, both living a life other than what they had planned, both struggling emotionally. . . . I adored their love story and how they were able to help each other and the faith that finds it's way back into their hearts. . . . I highly recommend this book to all lovers of Christian Contemporary Romance lovers!"<br />

<b><i>No Chance Meeting</i> Character Casting</b><br />
<br />
It’s always great for an author when they can have someone “cast” as their character. It really helps bring the character to life in our minds. Here are a few of my celebrity casting choices for the characters in <i>No Chance Meeting</i>. . .<br />

<i>Had Alex received the text two weeks ago, she would have ignored it for a few days, hoping Mindy just thought she was busy and forgot to call. She tapped on Mindy’s name to bring up her contact information and stared at the call button. She would have to be honest about how she had been lately. Mindy would know just by her voice if she tried to conceal her struggles. Did she really want to delve into it? However, today had become about making things right. She hit call. The phone rang twice before Mindy’s voice filled her ear.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Alex! I’m so glad you called!”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Hey, Mindy,” she said through a smile.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“It’s so good to hear your voice.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Yours too.” Really, her friend’s bubbly enthusiasm was like a balm. She should never have avoided calling.</i><br />

<br />
"<i>No Chance Meeting</i> by Jaye Elliot is a character-driven romance with realistically flawed characters and strong spiritual themes. I’m a firm believer in the way God is always working behind the scenes, leaving nothing to chance, so the title is especially meaningful. It’s refreshing to see a Christian fiction book where God is actually the main character."<br />

<b>How I am Like/Not Like My Character</b><br />
<br />
Writers always leave pieces of themselves within a story. This can be especially true in regards to their main character. Here are 5 ways my main female character, Alex, and I are alike and then 5 ways we are not alike. . .<br />

<i>“Alex,” she said cheerfully when she looked up. Her gaze drifted to Riley and then back to Alex, sparkling with curiosity.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Alex paused with Riley at her side. “This is Riley Conrad. We work together and . . . he’s my boyfriend. He’s taking me out to dinner tonight.” She shared a quick smile with Riley.</i><br />

<br />
Chance meetings, meet-cutes and serendipitous encounters are some of my favourites within Romance & Sweet Romance - how did you want readers to react to the one you've given Riley & Alex? What did you love about setting the scene itself and giving a first look at how your life's trajectory can alter itself in one singular moment?<br />
<br />
<b>Elliot responds:</b> The first meeting between Alex and Riley isn’t the cute, swoon-worthy or funny meeting that a lot of romance novels have. Alex is at the lowest point in her life. It’s absurd to her that she, a girl who’s never been on a date in all her near-thirty years, would meet someone right then. But I love it because it shows that God is working even when we think our lives have hit a dead end. He can bring people and things into our lives right when we need them most, even if, in our human minds, the timing seems ridiculous. The whole theme of the book is that things don’t happen by chance. They are part of God’s plan.<br />

<b>TEN RANDOM THINGS ABOUT <i>NO CHANCE MEETING</i></b><br />
<br />
1. I wrote <i>No Chance Meeting</i> for NaNoWriMo 2016. It was the first time I ever participated in NaNoWriMo. I wasn’t sure I ever would and really didn’t think I’d actually make it to 50,000 words. I ended up completing the month with over 60,000. . .<br />

<i>She moved toward the kitchen counter. “Do you want coffee?”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“Always.” With a cheeky grin, Mindy slid onto one of the barstools on the opposite side of the counter.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Alex filled the coffeemaker with the coffee Riley had brought her after his appointment. While waiting for it to brew, she peeked over at Mindy, who was checking her phone.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>“He kissed me the other night.”</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Mindy’s eyes shot up, and her phone rattled on the counter. Her mouth fell open with a squeal. It was a good thing Alex had given her the news now instead of after handing over the coffee or her friend might have choked in her giddiness.</i><br />

<b>Top 10 Romantic Pairings</b><br />
<br />
I’m a hopeless romantic, so I tend to do a lot of shipping fictional characters. Here is a look at my top 10 in no particular order. Only one pairing is actually from a book. I’m a very visual person, so I tend to do more shipping of characters from movies and TV than I do for books.

<b>(No Chance Love #1)</b><br />
<b>By Jaye Elliot</b><br />
Christian Contemporary Romance<br />
Paperback & ebook, 393 Pages<br />
February 11th 2020 by Living Sword Publishing<br />
<br />
Alex Jennings is done with life. After losing her brother in Afghanistan, everything has collapsed around her. Getting laid off from her day job and failing in her art career, she has nowhere left to turn. She once had faith to believe that all things would work together for good, but that faith died with her brother. Now she just wants the pain to end.<br />
<br />
Riley Conrad served thirteen years in the military until three bullets sent him home. After a year and a half of physical therapy and scraping together a living, all he wants is to live a simple life and perhaps even open the coffee shop he dreams about.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Rebecca Jordan’s life is simple, disciplined and uncomplicated, at least on the surface. Then she meets a handsome stranger/secret admirer named Michael Vale one fateful late night at a bookstore café. As a focused but struggling photographer with a passion for art, her outwardly happy world is turned upside down during this life-changing encounter when she quickly realizes she has met her soul mate. The undeniable attraction between them and their intense, immediate connection seems picture perfect as they discuss the shop’s local artwork, until Rebecca abruptly ends the chance meeting with no explanation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Betraying Brett, her loyal, loving boyfriend is something she can never bring herself to do. Driven by a strong moral code and molded by divorced parents and a tumultuous childhood, she struggles to stay away from Michael, but fate and circumstance intervene, bringing them back together time and time again. As much as she resists, there is no denying her true feelings for him and the simple fact that Michael understands her in a way Brett never has. Michael proves to be everything she’s ever wanted, but remains just out of her reach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Behind the Glass tells the story of Michael and Rebecca’s extraordinary love and the many unconventional stages their relationship must go through. Their morals and their faith in true love and in each other will be put to the test as they learn that meeting one’s soul mate does not come without obstacles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kristen Morgen is a contemporary romance author and a licensed architect with her own architectural firm. A creative spirit, she can’t remember a time in her life when she didn’t crave designing, creating, discovering, and using her imagination in some way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her romance writing interests may seem rather different from her daily career, where she focuses on designing homes, but all good architects are, at heart, just artists creating something imagined onto paper. The two practices and creative processes balance each other well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kristen was an avid reader from an early age, and it was her love for the romance genre, her favorite guilty pleasure, that encouraged her to hone her passion for writing. She loves the art of shaping words and sentences into relatable stories while creating rich characters for her readers to connect with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her debut novel ‘Behind the Glass’ explores relationships and the little reasons people fall in love with each other while uncovering deeper truths. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, she currently resides in Connecticut with her husband and two daughters. When she’s not designing homes, she dedicates her free time to her second novel and reads almost anything she can get her hands on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kristen Morgen is a hopeless romantic to the end. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy Campbell is the last person you'd expect to hack minds. The college freshman prefers vintage
technology, old books and retro fashion. But when she makes a fool of herself in front of her crush,
Marco Han, she wishes she could erase the whole episode from his brilliant mind. She's shocked to learn
that her older sister, Mollie, can do just that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mollie tells Lucy she's found a way to delete people's memories via Spex, the thought-activated
successor to smart phones and Google Glass. Yet, when Mollie breaks into Marco's mind, she decides
not to erase any embarrassing moments because he already has a crush on Lucy. Encouraged by her
sister's discovery, Lucy stops avoiding Marco. Soon, the two are dating, and Marco, a tech guru in his
own right, elevates Mollie's mind hacking from a guilty pleasure to an efficient crime-solving tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the three infiltrate more minds, they realize they're not the only ones who can steal memories. Marco
suddenly forgets Lucy; and Mollie forgets that she could ever mind hack. Lucy's mind should be safe
because she doesn't wear Spex. But then the mysterious hacker, Nick Lethe, comes after her in person.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy flees to the woods, the only place safe from the surveillance of the ubiquitous Spex. If Nick finds
her, he'll erase her memories or worse. If she doesn't find him --and stop him -- no one will know that
minds can be hacked and lives rewritten. </div>

<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px; text-align: center;">
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">CHAPTER 1</strong></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Every night before he goes to bed, Nick erases himself from everyone’s memory.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
It can be lonely having no one remember him, but it’s the only way he can accomplish his work. And…it’s not a bad life. There’s incredible freedom in being anonymous. Besides, memories and all the petty relationships people construct around them are a total sham.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
In truth, each day is like a note with the instructions: burn after reading. Life is the burning. The best part. By the time we hit our pillows most of the day is obliterated. We’ve forgotten what we ate for breakfast, the exact words of a conversation, the face of a stranger. All that remains are ashes and a few random scraps that won’t burn. A look. A taste. A feeling. People hoard these scraps, piece them together, string them into a narrative and pretend it’s life. But it’s not. Life, reality—whatever you want to call it—has already gone up in smoke.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Nick knows this. He knows that none of the memories he scans is completely true. But they’re his only chance to find her. Last night he didn’t sleep. He spent the entire night searching for Lucy, the one person who remembers him, the only mind he hasn’t been able to hack.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
He stands in his living room, surrounded by footage of a freckled girl with messy hair. Discrete lenses in the ceiling project dozens of images on white walls. He watches without sound or context, still catching the key details. This skill is how, even as a college drop-out, Nick was able to purchase this oceanfront condo before his twenty-first birthday. This morning the view’s nothing more than thick fog, like the layer of clouds seen through an airplane window.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The memories of those closest to Lucy flicker on the north wall. On the opposite side flash the illicit memories of his clients. A large glass desk near the window reflects and distorts images from both sides. The rest of the room is empty except for some workout equipment: a stationary bike, a weight-lifting bench, and a treadmill, each a lonely island in a sea of gray wood flooring. Nick works out while he scans footage. He’s nothing, if not efficient.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
He runs on his treadmill, watching another Lucy memory, this one taken from her hot friend, Karen.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The two girls sit on a quilt on a sunny scrap of lawn outside the computer science building—waiting.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I can’t believe it’s February.” Lucy wears a yellow sundress. Her freckled shoulders a little pink with sunburn. “This morning my mom sent me pictures of her car buried in snow.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I know, right? This perfect weather is freaky,” answers Karen. “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to living without seasons. But it does help stalking.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“It’s not stalking,” Lucy says with a self-deprecating laugh. “It’s caring.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Nick laughs. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Amen sister!</em></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Did I tell you what happened Tuesday?” Lucy is too excited to wait for an answer. “He sat at that very bench and, drum roll…” She plays air drums and hits an air cymbal. “Ding! He smiled at me!”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“How do you know he wasn’t watching something funny on his Spex?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Give me some credit. Even if I don’t use Spex, I can tell when someone is on theirs. He smiled right at me.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Congratulations! But I still say you are doing this the hard way. Why don’t you sign up for his class? That way you could gawk at him twice a week like the rest of us and get credit for it.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Nick can’t see Karen in this memory. But after spending a night scanning recollections of Lucy, he has a good idea what her best friend looks like. She’s short, well-built, always wears workout clothes, and her white blonde hair is styled in a pixie cut with a blue streak.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Can you see me in computer science? I’d be the only one without Spex.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Sweetie, you’re the only one on campus without Spex.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“That’s my point. I don’t belong in computer science. I belong in a ratty, old armchair reading the thoughts of dead men.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“While spying on live ones?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Something like that.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Lucky for you, I’m an excellent stalker and a good friend. I took some photos for you in class today. I’m sending them now with a couple shots from the beach yesterday.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Karen thinks, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Charlotte: Send Lucy photos from yesterday taken at La Jolla Shores and the ones from class today.</em></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“With pleasure!” A female voice with a slight Boston accent whispers in her earpiece. “Sending Lucy Campbell eleven photos.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Lucy takes her phone out of her backpack. She pauses on the picture of Marco lecturing. Karen leans over to admire it, too.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“You might be right.” Lucy downloads the photos. “Maybe I should take his class.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“You have to. He’s the best TA. I mean it’s not just that he’s a genius and all that. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he remembers everyone by name.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Of course, he does. He made his fortune with his <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Good with Names</em> app.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“And he’s not even too old for you. He started college when he was like fifteen.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I know. Trust me. I’ve Googled him plenty. What sort of stalker do you think I am?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“We’ve already established that you’re not a very good one. No one can truly stalk without Spex. You should try mine. They’re the latest model. They have telescopic lenses.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Cool! Maybe I will. Wait! That’s him!”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Marco Han’s black mop of hair emerges from the building.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Karen thinks, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Charlotte: Zoom</em>. Immediately in her right lens “Zoom 2x” appears. Marco’s wearing a faded blue Hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts and frayed flip-flops. Karen’s left lens top corner, reads, “Marco Han, 19, single, UCSD Grad Student” along with a link to his social network page. Both girls let out an audible sigh.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">What do they see in this dude?</em> thinks Nick.<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"> Look at how he dresses! It’s all because he’s rich. I’m rich!</em></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Marco hops on his board and skates across the wide pathway to the edge of the lawn to where they are sitting.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Hey Karen, new Spex?” He flips up his board.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Yeah, I got them last week.” Karen stands up to greet him. Lucy remains on the blanket, her eyes fixed on the ground. The afternoon sun illuminates her reddish-brown mane of hair.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Marco and Karen ooh and aah over the new Spex, Lucy sneaks a look at Marco who is trying on the new glasses and appears ridiculous in the retro frames with rhinestones in the winged tips. She stifles a laugh. He looks her way.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“No Spex, huh?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
She tries to play it cool. “Not my thing.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Seriously? I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone over eight without a mindseye.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Tell me about it!” Nick hollers at the screen. <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">What is wrong with this girl? If she wore Spex, I’d have found her by now.</em></div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I’m Marco, by the way.” He returns Karen’s Spex and sits down next to Lucy.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Lucy.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Right, I see you all the time.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I bet you do.” Karen snickers. Nick laughs too.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“So, why no Spex?” he asks.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
She takes a steadying breath before answering. “I like to see the world through my own eyes. I don’t want to be distracted.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“That’s ludicrous,” says Marco. “That’s like going around with your eyes closed so you’re not distracted by the clouds and the trees and meeting new people.” He talks with his hands, pointing to the clouds and trees as he mentions them.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“My eyes are wide open and I just met you.” She smiles big. “You’re new.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Sure, but you’re closed to another layer of reality.” He waves a hand in front of her face. “Spex bring the whole world to you.” He pops the iridescent earpiece out of his ear. “This baby can hold every recording in the last century as well as every movie made in my lifetime. Why wouldn’t you want one?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I have funny ideas…”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“She wants to keep her mind <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">pure</em>.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I just don’t think it’s that big of a leap from our thoughts controlling Spex to Spex controlling our thoughts.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Marco laughs outright. “We lost that battle long ago. All media directs our thoughts. Be it a book or a movie. It doesn’t matter if you see that movie in a theater or watch it while you’re walking to class. Or in class, like some of my students…”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
She interrupts, “‘It’s the movies that have been really running things in America.’”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Nice! Andy Warhol!” He points at her. “I love that quote. And it proves my argument.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Nah, it proves mine. It’s harder to separate your thoughts from others’ when you hear their ideas in your own head.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“You’re hearing my arguments in your head right now. Your brain’s translating the sound waves picked up by your ears. What’s the difference?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“He’s right,” says Karen.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“The difference is that the businesses who own apps and search engines want to suck up as much of my time as they can. To make money, they need my attention. If I take too much time to think for myself, they don’t make money. I don’t want Spex to crowd out my own thoughts.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Heaven forbid! It’s obvious you have a gorgeous mind. I appreciate your desire to protect it. But Spex, used judiciously, only amplify a great mind.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“That is…” She gives him a saucy look. “…if you don’t spend your whole day, gaming or binging on TV.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Point for Lucy,” says Karen. “It’s a tie: one for Marco and one for you.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“What I want to know is how you manage your classes without Spex,” he asks.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I remember things.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I bet you do. But you’d have to remember a lot. What was once called cheating is now applied knowledge.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“When I don’t know something, I look it up—the old-fashioned way.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“You don’t have?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
She pulls her iPhone out of her backpack. “Yep, vintage.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Can I see it? Everything still works?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Pretty much. Whenever something breaks, my sister fixes it.” She hands him the phone. “She’s a computer genius. She used to hack for the government.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Hey! 2048!” He fiddles with the phone with childish delight.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“I used to play that on my dad’s phone on my way to preschool. Can I play it on yours? It’s not the same on Spex.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“So, you concede? Spex are not superior in all ways?”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Only if you let me play 2048!” He’s engrossed by the phone. “Hey, nice photo. You’re cute in a swimsuit.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
“Don’t go through my photos!” Lucy grabs her phone.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
He gives it back to her with a smirk. “You know, if you wanted my picture you could have Googled me.”</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Lucy doesn’t answer. She stands up, turns around and runs.</div>
<div class="Textbody" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Marco chases after her. Karen laughs, so does Nick. And then he deletes the memory.</div>
