Experience the Drama and the Science of the Genre of Prehistoric Fantasy
Prehistoric fantasy is the genre of stories written in prehistoric times. But they aren't just "caveman" stories. They are wonderfully written dramas that also take a good look at real anthropological and archaeological subjects. The term "Prehistoric Fantasy" often brings to mind images from movies about cavemen, which are often comedies and parodies.
My Life as a Furry Red Monster (Book Review)
It is almost impossible to find anyone in the United States and maybe even in the world who hasn't heard of the cute red monster muppet, Elmo, and Kevin Clash, the puppeteer behind him. This book, however, is not so much about Elmo than about Kevin Clash who teaches, through Elmo, life lessons with insight.
The Heart of the Matter: a Review of "Moral Disorder"
Several years ago, members of my online writing group tuned me in to Margaret Atwood for the first time, recommending that I pick up a copy of "Cat's Eye" without delay since I'd never read it. So read it I did, and having done so, I can say that few other authors have captured my fancy quite as much as Margaret Atwood.
How to make World of Warcraft Gold - Review by a WoW Addict
Gold is, by far, one of the most important assets in World of Warcraft. Sure, it helps to have gold to buy items, but some of those items are almost essential to advancing your characters level and story! One day on WoW, I realized I had a major problem: I had no gold, which left me with two options: kill kobolds all night long or buy gold online.
Clueless on "The Dark Side of the Moon"
What makes a New York Times bestselling author? This is something, as a writer and an avid reader, that I've often wondered. Good writing, surely, or at least a great story, or maybe even an author with something to say. But I have to be honest. These ideas were all shot down for me after reading, Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Dark Side of the Moon" recently.
Destiny Blaine: She's Doing Something Right
It's my first call of the New Year with Destiny Blaine. My editor and I called her to tell her Happy New Year and discovered she was in unusually high spirits. Who could blame her? She had just received two very handsome contracts and things couldn't be going any better for Ms. Blaine. Destiny Blaine is an author of erotica romance and seems to be "catching some incredible breaks" with her stories and to hear her tell it, that's what she's been able to do.
The book, My Imaginary Friend, tells the story of a seven-year-old girl by the name of Kathann. Kathann is an innocent child with a wonderful and creative imagination. Her creativity helps her face the terrible secret that she is a victim of sexual abuse. Through Kathann's imagination, she meets Becky, a young girl who encourages her to confront the secret and face her fears of sharing the secret with an adult.
Told from a child's perspective, the story is a wonderful tool to help children gain the courage to speak out when they find themselves molested or abused by an adult. In a supportive and gentle dialogue, the authors raise important issues of trust and fears about the results of telling. The well-crafted illustrations that accompany the story will help children follow Kathann's journey of taking the first step toward survival and healing.
Kathann is a young girl faced with dealing with the terrible secret of being a victim of molestation. Through the eyes and imagination of Kathann, children who are victims of abuse will learn from Kathann's experience that they have the ability to conquer their pain and fears and take that crucial step of telling an adult.
Unfortunately, there are many child predators in society. With a comfortable and easy to read story of strength and encouragement, My Imaginary Friend not only benefits children who are victims of abuse, but will also help other children speak out if something bad happens to them. My Imaginary Friend teaches children that they have the strength to tell an adult when someone hurts them. It is also a wonderful way for parents to discuss the topic with their children without scaring them. The book would be a great addition to libraries.
