Immortal reviews

I was lucky enough to win this in a giveaway the author did. Since receiving it, I have read it through multiple times. The only reason it was not reviewed sooner is because I already had reviews in various states of written. So I delayed this until I could focus on it somewhat.

It is a wonderful book fillled with poetry and small bits of prose. The art is well placed and adds to the flow. It does not feel like the poetry I write, it feels more like a conversation. A natural storyteller unfolding her thoughts before you.

The author, Deedra Mosley, also has several other books. I enjoyed the Louise Green books and am eagerly awaiting the next one. Go ahead, check out her website. I think that you will enjoy the experience. I know I have.

Thursday reviews

Emily’s book of the Strange by Rob Reger

This is wonderfully illustrated. It’s a cute little goth story based upon the illustration. I truly enjoyed it.

I wanted to note that I set up the Monday poetry post to schedule and thought that it posted. Apparently the scheduling of posts are not working right for my WordPress. It may cause some hiccups in my timeline. I hope to continue with the posts during the week. Just a reminder I will not be posting next week due to the holiday. I will be back the Monday after Thanksgiving with more poetry. And I will be doing another post on world building tomorrow.

Scheduled hopes.

So… In the past I have been awful about updating this blog. I am hoping that if I do a bit of a schedule it may help. So I decided to post my plan… Please be patient with me as I may still lapse.

Monday : poems. That will be the day when I share any poetry that I feel like sharing.

Tuesday : teasers. I have a children’s chapter book that I am working on currently, and Serena has her second book in her zombie apocalypse series. This is when I will be sharing teasers and updates on the work we are doing.

Wednesday : webcomics! This is going to be where I discuss webcomics and perhaps other fandoms.

Thursday : Reviews. Both tech and books. I am a geek who reads a lot. I really need to start doing a review segment on here.

Friday : writing helpers. This is where I will be talking about the technical difficulties that come with writing.

I am not scheduling weekends. And I may end up posting random other than the schedule… Cause life. You get it, I am quite sure. Also I may be less accurate to the schedule in November. I am doing the pad challenge and Serena is doing Nanowrimo. So I don’t know how much extra time for blogging I will have. But I will be posting. Just figure it will be less than I am hoping for.

Inktober and zombie review

Yes… I know. I owe y’all two poems. I got lost in girlswithslingshots.com trying to get caught up. I am going to get to writing after i eat. That is going to be a later post. For now here’s my art for today. The prompt was Angular.

One of the books that I got at the library was Zombies hate Stuff by Greg Stones.

It was incredibly whimsical and fun. I actually recommend it, and so does my teenager who is all about zombies. The art is eye-catching and it is a fun little art book.

A day at the local library.

So I did not get today’s poem done… I spent a day with my daughter and took the bus to the local library. I managed to do the inktober art.

Today the prompt was weak. The first thing that came to mind was eggshells. Sharp but easily broken.

I will be posting today’s poem tomorrow with tomorrow’s inktober art and poem.

Also due to the trip to the library I will be doing at least one book review post each month from here out.

Immortal poetry

I am blessed to be friends with so many wonderful writers. Occasionally I can even get the chance to read their books first. This was one of those times.

Immortal by Deedra Mosley will be releasing on Amazon June 19th. It is an incredible poetic journey filled with prose and short poems. Lovely art illustrates the book giving the journey a more comfortable feel.

I am picky about poetry. I don’t always like the more prose style pieces, but I really enjoyed these.

It is in pre-order right now… Go ahead and get it. You won’t be sorry.

You can get it here.

Book Review: Dragon in the sock drawer by Kate Klimo

images-1

Cousins Jesse and Daisy are not prepared when the “thunder egg” Jesse has found turns out to be a dragon egg that is about to hatch.

A cute Tween book. It has adventure and a villain who is scary enough that even the adult readers will no be disappointed. The characters are rich and the descriptions are decent. This is the first book in the series and it allows you to grow with Emerald the dragon and her two preteen keepers. Very magical and a lot of fun to read. I highly recommend.

Book Review : Dark Current by Jacqueline Carey

Daisy Johanssen,  a part time file clerk half demon is so much more…. She’s Hel’s liaison between the eldrich community and the mundane authorities. This is the first in a fun trio of books.  I just finished book two(Autumn bones).  This first one feels like more of a young adult story.  It has a definitely fun upbeat main character.  The writer is really good at describing the action.  I would highly recommend it.

*a side note : the second book has more sexual content but nothing overly graphic. There’s another series by the same author that is more graphic. I really enjoyed it as well.
