Age of Myth Book One of The Legends of the First Empire By: Michael J. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. Now Age of Myth inaugurates an original five-book series. ![]() Sullivan’s trailblazing career began with the breakout success of his Riyria series: full-bodied, spellbinding fantasy adventures whose imaginative scope and sympathetic characters won a devoted readership and comparisons to fantasy masters Brandon Sanderson, Scott Lynch, and J.R.R. One of fantasy’s finest next-generation storytellers continues to break new ground. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I would have created the same complicated mash-up of women’s fiction, dystopia, and linguistic thriller. Still, I wouldn’t have written it any other way. I say ‘everywhere’ because, in hindsight, I piled so much into VOX-a little language science, a little politics, a little sex, and (of course) a healthy sprinkling of terror. Jean McClellan.Īlmost a year has passed since I typed “The End” on the last page of VOX, so I’ve had plenty of time to think about this novel that seemed to have come from nowhere. I mean that quite literally, so there's very little golden about silence to the protagonist, Dr. The penalties for exceeding this limit, as you’ll see, are shocking. You see, they spend their days in a sort of personal silence, thanks to the Pure Movement-a puritanical backlash sanctioned by the government that limits all females, from the old to the neonatal, to a daily quota of one hundred words. I have some serious doubts that the women in my novel, VOX, would agree. There’s a Latin saying you’ve heard: Silentium aurum est. ![]() ![]()
![]() Increasingly I’m experimenting with full-fledged 3D media-using dolls or stuffed animals that I make and then pose in small theater-like sets that I also construct. ![]() One of my biggest challenges is making things stay together! I love paper, fabric, yarn, wire, clay, interesting natural objects. Kind of like a sculpture, but squashed onto a board. Those are fancy terms for simple ideas: first, I make my art from all sorts of different stuff, some of it real art supplies, but much of it odds and ends I’ve scavenged from my house and yard or rescued from the neighbors’ trash and second, my finished work sticks out from a flat background. My artwork is mostly mixed-media bas-relief. I get my ideas from memories of my own childhood or my kids’ childhoods, from snippets of overheard conversation, from things I see or read, from folks I meet and talk with. I like to write stories that make people laugh-and connect with something important about themselves or others. ![]() And certain other days, when I’m very, very busy. (And all too often in the process of making those things, a sticky mess.) I like to make all kinds of things-stories, pictures, teeny-weeny-tiny stuff, pumpkin bread, people happy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tad lives in Brooklyn with his wife, their two children, and a real dog named Rocket.

Author: Tad Hills Illustrator: Tad Hills Publisher: Schwartz & Wade Books Year of Publication: 2012. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anyone who likes student-teacher romance and hot erotic romance should add it to their list. I can’t recommend this one highly enough. If I liked Veiled Innocence by Ella Frank, what should I read next The Force of Gravity Kelly Stevenson. You can believe that these two people tumbled together based on mutual attraction and physical need and then found something deeper. If you want a hot forbidden love story, that’s here too. What’s great about this book is that if you’re looking for something deeper and emotionally complex, you’ll find it. The story of Veiled Innocence is told in flashbacks, and it’s cleverly done, though I have to say I skimmed through a lot of the doctor/psychiatrist stuff (don’t worry, there’s a happy ending!) and mainly focused on the relationship. He’s also dominant and demanding in bed which adds to the whole sexually charged, illicit thrill. It’s super sexy when Grayson gets jealous of Addison’s high school boyfriend because you know he’s really falling for her. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a true student-teacher forbidden romance: the initial head-over-heels attraction, the attempts to resist it, the giving in, the sneaking around, the guilt, the exhilaration. The sex scenes are absolutely superb and the erotic power dynamic between 18-year-old Addison and her 32-year-old teacher Grayson McKendrick is red hot. Wow – this is one of the hottest books I’ve read, ever. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Morgan O'Neill time travel novels have received a number of literary awards, including two finalist wins in the Booksellers' Best Awards, two semifinalist wins in the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition, first, second, and third place wins for the Mainstream Novel with Strong Romantic Elements category of the Golden Rose Contest, a top ten finalist award in the Pacific Northwest Writers' Conference Zola Awards Literary Contest, and a top ten finalist win in the Orange Rose Contest. ![]() They've traveled to Europe's ancient and medieval sites many times, with Cary living on the Continent for five years.

However, his definitive vivid account of the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), based primarily on old Arab sources that go back to the 8th century, is not in any way contradictory to those other works that presented the life of the concluding prophets but rather it offers new insights and new details. Amidst numerous exemplary scholarly works depicting the life of our noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Martin Ling’s “Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources” provides a total new account of the life of the Prophet, perhaps new details that haven’t been elaborated in other accounts.Īmidst numerous exemplary scholarly works depicting the life of our noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Martin Ling’s Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources stands out as an exemplary source, providing a whole new account of the life of the Prophet, perhaps new details that haven’t been elaborated in other accounts. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using past-life therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase of his own career.
