Book Synopsis: 

Crystal Gate by Pendragon Inman

The chance to defeat their enemy may cost him his soul.

When the Okoru death auctioneer arrives from the mainland and starts enforcing new laws, Wyan—a newly awakened Void elemental—taps into his powers to defend his home. When the situation turns deadly, the entire village is put in danger. 

As everything familiar crumbles around him, Wyan is presented with the opportunity for revenge—a quest deep in the heart of the Okoru world that, if successful, would turn the tide of war in the Mystics' favor. If he fails, however, he will lose everything. A race against time becomes a battle of wills as Wyan must choose between a path of secrets or one of sacrifice.

“I was immediately pulled into the fascinating world of Crystal Gate. The magic system is definitely unique and well-done. Most of all, though, I enjoyed seeing the growth of Wyan's character throughout the story.” Berin L. Stephens, author of Dragon War Relic.

“This story promises to bring a tale full of adventure and excitement to all who read it.” Daniel Noyes

“If you’ve read Fire Gate, you won’t want to miss Crystal Gate, book two of the Shinehah Saga. Pendragon Inman knows how to write high fantasy with a classic touch of humor. Come find yourself immersed in a different world, where challenges are around every corner and the battle has only begun.” Cathy Witbeck

Captain Schnozzlebeard and the Singing Clam of Minnie Skewel Island by Rebecca Blevins ARC Sign Ups!

Sign up to receive an advanced reader's copy of Captain Schnozzlebeard by Rebecca Blevins in trade for your honest review to be posted on Amazon and Goodreads! Having a blog is not required but if you do have one, please post your review there as well! 

Genre: MG/YA Fantasy

Book Synopsis: 

Captain Gus Schnozzlebeard would rather hear crocodiles sharpenin’ their teeth on sandpaper than listen to his pirate crew sing. To save his sanity, he resolves to acquire musicians for his ship, the Scallywag III. When he hears tell of the Singing Clam of Minnie Skewel Island, he decides that’s exactly what he needs, and they set sail to go find it. Sometimes, though, getting what you want isn’t the best thing.

Join Captain Schnozzlebeard and his crew as they sail past the Tu Ting Pits and visit the Mer Cantilles on their travels. Add in a plucky stowaway, an uptight British admiral, and a kraken attack, and you’ve got a recipe for fun that’s better than a pot of gobbledygook stew. 

"This book is just plain nuts! Kids who like to make snorting sounds while they read will have their wishes fulfilled by Schnozzlebeard." 

Frank L. Cole, author of The Afterlife Academy

Six Facebook Hacks

Facebook wants to be paid for everything. Including allowing fans/followers to see what the pages they are following are saying.  The good news is, there are ways to beat Facebook at this game.

Here are just a few . . .

One & Two:

When you Like a page this is what you see. 

But if you click on that little button? 

You get this: 

Right away, there are two options to insure you see what the pages you have opted into following are saying/doing! Hit Get Notifications or if you already get too many of those, simply add the page to your interested lists. 

Three, Four, & Five: 

These three buttons can be your best friends! Facebook determines who sees what by how often they interact with a page. So if you don't interact, the page suddenly disappears from your feed. The simplest way to fix this is simply to Like a post here and there, comment every once in a while, and sometimes, share a post. It's easy, it doesn't take a whole lot of time, and it saves everyone a ton of frustration. 

Six: 

If you're on the homepage, on the left hand side under the title "Pages" there is a place you can go JUST to see things from pages you have liked. Click on "Pages Feed' and voila! All the posts from all the pages you follow will be in that feed - just like your regular newsfeed only exclusively for pages you follow. 

Simple, free, and pain free! 

The Sapphire Flute is FREE!

Rasann is a world in dire need. The net of magic that has held her together for eons is eroding and the magi can’t patch it fast enough to prevent disaster. Volcanoes spew, waters rise, famine and flood and desolation threaten the world as they desperately await the coming of the Wolfchild to heal their home.

Three women begin quests for identity and freedom from the ties that have held them: Ember, from her overbearing and prejudice mother; Kayla, from the rigidity of the caste that has oppressed her family; C’Tan, from her dark and evil master, the Guardian S’Kotos. One will discover she is the first white mage born in three millennia, another will become guardian to the a keystone, the sapphire flute, and throughout it all the third will try to destroy them both.
