“I’ll Put On Some Tea…”

Fledgling: Jason SteedFledgling: Jason Steed by Mark A. Cooper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jason Steed: Flegling is a book full of history, action, military combat and of course Karate. The book takes you through Jason’s first eleven years of life. He starts out in Hong Kong learning karate, jujitsu and tae kwon do (just to name a few).

Right away, you know there is something different about him. He is stuborn, loves carrot cake and sneaks into a military base at night to play on the flight simulator. This just the beginning though. From this, he ends up beating unthinkable odds.

Along with a little bit of English Royalty added in too!
I won’t give away anymore. This story is full of surprises and great moments that will linger in your mind well past the hours you should be sleeping. I actually woke up laughing yesterday morning thinking about the Barbershop scene.

I cried, I laughed, my heart beat a little faster than normal sometimes and I finally decided I liked his father when he let Jason make his own decision in the end.

This is an excellent book for anyone who likes European war stories, young adult novels and books filled with action and adventure. Plus, I see a series in the making. Over all, this is a book that can be easily enjoyed by someone as young as ten but as old as eighty.

Afterlight by Alli Coleman

Afterlight

What if you were human as the sun rises, but a shadow by the time the sun sets?

author: Alli Coleman

Afterlight by Alli Coleman

Anna used to have it all. But in the blink of an eye, her world was turned upside down. On the brink of insanity, she realizes that life doesn’t have much appeal to her anymore. That is, until the mysterious Wesley appears in her life and fills her world with secrets and realizations she never would have dreamed to be true. -Alli Coleman

High school student, Alli Coleman has started an interesting new book with a very different concept! Afterlight follows a teen girl who has suffered loss and whose depression is so vividly described (that I felt like I was a teenager once again). The story line is new and origianl and deserves a reading.
Whats most amazing is that such a young person holds true promise as a writer!  She has her own website where various excerpts are featured such as Inexperienced.

A Mothers Tale

A Mother’s Tale

The slave trade is big, and one girl is living in the middle of it.

Another excellent writer, A.C. Willard, who hates:

“Liars
Cheaters
Fakers
Horse slaughter
Animal abuse
Child abuse
People who play with someones feelings/emotions
Being treated like I’m stupid.”
