Another fantasy short story
A lovely gentle tale that I thoroughly enjoyed from Jack Eason. 🙂

Gorin’s Last Summer
Since Gemlik the last of the mountain ogres had sacrificed his single eye to save the ancient world from the disease of humanity, peace and harmony among all living things had returned once more.
Gorin, the much loved and respected elder and arbitrator of the dwarf clan, had journeyed north with Tallow the giant eagle and the crystal tool fashioned by Troth, to return it to Gemlik to create the replacement for Troth’s Eye.
Now he felt his remaining time and that of his life giving ancestor oak was fast growing short. Like all living things, the link between the pair meant they were born together, lived and died together as is the natural way of things in the world.

Gorin stirred from his long winter slumber beneath the warm down-filled covers of his bed, and lifted his weary head from his soft cobweb pillow. He…

New Release Review: Oath of the Outcast by C. M. Banschbach
Glowing review by Rachael Ritchey of C. M Banschbach’s NA novel Oath of the Outcast #review #giveaway

It
is
HERE!!!!
I have been looking forward to this book ever since the first time I heard mention of this mysterious Mountain Baron with a rocky past.
Here’s the synopsis (it screams: READ ME!)
A lost brother.
An unwilling outlaw.
A rising enemy.
An unusual alliance.
Years ago, Rhys MacDuffy was brutally cut off from his clan, stripped of his name and inheritance, and banished to the remote Dragon Keep. Perched high above the Shang Pass in the land of Alsaya, he assumed the mantle of the Mountain Baron, serving out his sentence as the overseer of the worst outlaws and outcasts.
But one day he receives a desperate message from the clan who disowned him: MacDuffy’s Seer—his beloved brother—has been taken by their enemies.

Streets Ahead Book Promotion- Robbie Cheadle and Kim Blades
This is an awesome group #streetsaheadstreetteam for promotion of indie authors. Stevie Turner is currently doing a shout out to Robbie Cheadle and Kim Blade’s poetry book on her blog.
This week on Streets Ahead we’re promoting Robbie Cheadle and Kim Blades’ new collection of poems ‘Open a New Door‘. Anyone can join Streets ahead, just as long as they are prepared to share the current book promotion on at least one of their social media sites. Anybody not sharing unfortunately will not get their own book promoted.
Open a New Door is a poetic peep into the lives of the poets, Kim Blades and Robbie Cheadle, both of whom live in South Africa.
The book is divided into four categories: God bless Africa, God bless my family and friends, God bless me and God bless corporates and work. Each part is sub-divided into the good, the bad and the ugly of the two poets’ experiences, presented in rhyming verse, free-style, haiku and tanka, in each of these categories and include colourful depictions of their thoughts and emotions.

An interview with author Richard Dee
Awesome interview at Joy Lennock’s blog of the talented author Richard Dee.
Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing a writer who you may, or may not, be familiar with; but one, I’m sure you will return to, once you have enjoyed a taste of his excellent, entertaining books and writing style.
Hi Richard, it’s a pleasure to have you here today as my guest. Get comfy and take a deep breath as you’re now under the microscope so to speak! We’re all keen to learn more about you, so fire away.
What’s your earliest memory and your favourite one?
I remember living in Brixham when I was very young. Our house was at the base of what seemed to be a huge cliff, trains ran over the back. The station has long gone, the house was for sale when we were on holiday one year, we almost looked around; in the end, I couldn’t face it. My favourite memory is harder…
