Books_of_the_PastCould it get any better…the contest has a winner and the book now has a title! I am super excited, not to mention  relieved. So here it is: 

Warrior

Egyptian Kingdom 

Great thanks to contest winner and title creator: 

Carrie Malinowski 

The more I look at it the more I love it. It’s perfect. It encapsulates every plot point of the novel. Did I say I love it? Well, I do! So Carrie, you get the first peek at the cover and an advanced copy of book #3 of the PRINCESS KANDAKE series due to be released February 1, 2014. Oh and don’t forget, you will also have a huge mention in the acknowledgements of that book! Thank you so much. 

Allow me to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed their wonderful ideas to this quest for a title. Let me tell you that I was truly stuck. I couldn’t come up with a single working idea and all of you had some really great ones! I can’t thank you enough. You saved my bacon.

Now on to do my part in the cover creation, which isn’t much. I select the photos and the designer does everything else. She creates a thing of beauty. I can’t wait to see how it comes out.

Jump Boys: SOS – Book Review

jump boysI just finished a fantastic book. It’s listed for the middle grade reader which I prefer to call ‘Tweens.

A dare has gone terribly wrong. An SOS from another universe. Brothers, Val and Jayce, are stranded on earth in an alternate universe, but before they can leave they must save a young girl, Meg, from space pirates. They learn that the pirates are linked to their own universe and rescuing Meg places their family in grave danger. Find out what happens next.

These are the things I love about it. First, it’s science fiction with a great story-line (I love just about anything science fiction!). It’s action filled. And here’s the best part… It is a CLEAN read! NO profanity. NO sexual content. No graphic violence.

As with any story there is struggle between the good guys and the bad guys, but it is handled in such a way that it has just the right amount of tension and the conflict is perfect for the reader.
