![]() ![]() "Miles has only been living with his musician father in New Orleans for two months when Hurricane Katrina hits-and they haven't really been getting along. That's the main reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5. I would have liked to have seen more of that. Toward the end of of the book we get a little peek at the city itself and the devastation. ![]() Such catastrophes bring out both the best and the worst in people. What I mean by humans being humans is that some folks acted like thugs while others stood together and helped each other. I don't personally know how much of it is 'true' although it depicts humans being human and in that sense certainly has the ring of truth. I've heard many stories about what went on in the dome, and "Hurricane Song" pretty much reinforces the stories I've heard. I'm also not black and this book explores the experiences of blacks, mostly poor ones, who either did not or could not leave the city and ended up taking shelter in the New Orleans Superdome. We did see the devastation when we returned. ![]() I lived in the New Orleans area when Hurricane Katrina hit, but we were able to get out before the storm and did not directly experience any of the horror in the city, except via TV. ![]() This is a young adult book and I'm far past the age it is recommended for, but I enjoyed it and found it a fast read. ![]()

They still use the term Thrall for slaves. Since the young kingdom of Gredoria in my fantasy world is loosely based on Canada, Greenland is currently inhabited by descendants of Vikings. Today, the word means to be in someone’s in power. I enjoy stories set in the middle ages, and when Vikings were still pillaging, they often took slaves. What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it? My characters all differ, and past choices have real consequences. More specific subjects vary: cracked faith, wars, homosexuality, asexuality, depression, anorexia, outlaws, etc. ![]() Paranormal romance, M/M romance, coming of age, and dark fantasy are some. This allows me to write in a large array of genres and subjects. My books are set in the same world and follow a few particular families over the centuries, plus extra side people.

The 90s brought about a revolution in the human condition we’re still groping to understand. By the end, exposing someone’s address was an act of emotional violence, and nobody picked up their new cell phone if they didn’t know who it was. In the beginning, almost every name and address was listed in a phone book, and everyone answered their landlines because you didn’t know who it was. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. From the bestselling author of But What if We’re Wrong, a wise and funny reckoning with the decade that gave us slacker/grunge irony about the sin of trying too hard, during the greatest shift in human consciousness of any decade in American history. ![]() ![]() One was weird author Howard Phillips Lovecraft born out-of-time on August 20, 1890, and prematurely exiting this life on March 15, 1937. Many live lives devoid of the richness that imagination, once interacting with unknowns in the environment, previously seasoned and invigorated their tedious existence.Ī few people in recent times have bucked that trend towards trite interests and tepid lives. In the process, human beings became empty husks of their former selves. The phantasms science has contrived to explain all that surrounds us, where the real world has become disjointed figments of our cultured imagination, have taken all mysteries out of the world.īut, when the world was so drained, all the wonders that once inspired awe and fear in humanity were bleed dry. In the theater of the mind, many people are preoccupied with the mundane world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Right from the get go, One of Us Is Next was utterly addictive!

Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping-something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn’t due to power outages in the Cryocombs.
