Beautiful Coloring Book! – “Fantasy Snowflakes Coloring Book” by J.S. Burke

#IARTG THE DRAGON DREAMER by J.S. Burke, #YA #Sci #Fantasy

Beautiful Coloring Book!
ByMelissa Williamson
J.S. Burke’s Fantasy Snowflakes Coloring Book is a unique and beautiful coloring/activity workbook. It contains snowflake designs inspired by the meditative practice of mandala drawing and by the events and characters from the author/artist’s science fantasy children’s Dragon Dreamer series. Each snowflake pattern is accompanied by facts about the animal or plant featured in the design and occasionally references quotations from the series. At the end of the book, the designs are re-featured as ornament-sized drawings, so one might color, laminate, and hang in a window or on a tree.
I love all of the designs, but my favorites are the Tree-of-life, Mangrove Roots, and the Edelweiss Fairy snowflakes. I am, however, a bit concerned about coloring in the smaller ornament versions, as one would need a very fine pointed medium with which to color in the details. But, I still love the ornament concept, even if I wish they were slightly bigger.
I would recommend this to any child or adult who loves to color and loves craft making. It may even inspire you to learn more about The Dragon Dreamer books.

Ger the illegals

All Carson Reno Mystery Series Books are standalone novels. It is not necessary to read them in any particular order.
Crime DOES pay – especially crime that has the support of our legal system.
Carson’s investigative work for Attorney Jack Logan runs smack into the path of the largest law firm in West Tennessee. Trying to stay out of their path only succeeds in putting Carson in the crosshairs of lawyers who want him out of the way.
Power struggles, infidelity, organized crime and eventually murder all appear to be somehow linked to this powerful law firm – McCabe, McCabe, Clark, and Lewis.
This is a story of the small versus the large in a little West Tennessee community that has no idea of the crime and corruption that lay underneath their quiet daily lives.
Join Carson as he takes on the fight of his career when he challenges ‘the Illegals.’

5-star review
By Larry Alexander
A small town in the 1960’s must deal with some big-time crime. Written and delivered in the fashion of Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe, the author magically transports the reader back in time – a time that should be simpler, but isn’t. A tough Private Detective uses his muscle and humor to sort through clues and resolve a complicated murder. This is a Classic Carson Reno Mystery with all the usual characters and compelling conversations for the reader. Light illustrations help tell the story and complete the reader’s transition back in time.

 Surprisingly Sweet Romance Blended With Sci-fi
By Gina Briganti
Eve of Destruction” is grab your honey hot, sigh with pleasure sweet, delivers on the action and technology front, and has a solid sci-fi base. This foodie loved the scenes where food was detailed. I could taste that juicy cheeseburger after months of nothing by chow hall food. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series!

Delightful story – “Troianne” (Time Travel Society Series Book 1) by Crystal Miles Gauthier

Delightful story
ByBrian P. Lane
This was a very delightful story with all the mixed timelines, unique vocabulary, romance ahead of sex, and feelings instead of conjecture.
Troianne is a messed up woman trying to find the answers, the men, and the way to live life. She may be rich, a bit scattered brained, but I found her quite lovable and genuine.
I enjoyed the 1800 and 1900 hundreds and wish I had lived back then.
