Blog Blitz: Daughter of Deaths E-book Release

We interrupt this week's Top Ten Tuesday for a special announcement! The final book in the Scythe Wielder's Secret series - Daughter of Deaths - is coming out on e-book today, September 20th. 
 
 
 
 
You can read my reviews for all the three books in the series, School of Deaths, Sword of Deaths and Daughter of Deaths. You can also read my interview with the author, Christopher Mannino.  
 
And if you're curious about Susan Sarnio's last adventure, here's a mini-excerpt:
 
 
Michi smiled, her lips pulled tight across her teeth. “We’re friends. I’m an Elemental, just like you. You can come out.” 

A scrawny girl, perhaps seven years old, emerged from the darkness. Her clothes were disheveled, her face pale, and her eyes shone bright red. A mane of long, tangled raven black hair trailed behind her, reaching to her knees. Her face was scarred and dirty, and she clutched a doll in one hand. 

“What do you want?” The voice screamed in his mind, ringing with dread. 

“You’re a Fearmonger.” Frank struggled to form the words, and a bead of sweat trickled off his forehead. 

“Go away!” The trees started to move, their trunks rising and becoming serpents. Frank’s fears returned. He’d known Fearmongers, even trained with a small group of them, yet he’d never felt fear like this. The girl’s abilities far outstripped anything he’d dreamed. 

“What is your name?” Michi’s voice echoed in the distance, hidden behind the veil of surrounding terror.
 
 


Daughter of Deaths is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Summer Reading

Schoolz out for the summer! For the next two months, I won't have to learn anything new about odontology, medicine, or the physical properties of dental cements. Also, I can finally read for fun again . I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I have fallen out of love with reading, and at that time it really did feel that way. Now, I feel like I'm getting my bookworm mojo back, and I'm already working on my next book review. I have also assembled a short and preliminary list of books I want to read this summer. Some of them are new to me, but there are a few re-reads as well.  I bought my copy of The House of Binding Thorns on a whim because I loved the cover. Also, I almost never read anything by French authors, and I'd like to change that. Endymion is, of course, the third book in the Hyperion Cantos series. The first two books completely blew me away. Honestly, not a day goes by that I don't think about those stories.  The two re-r

Book Review: The Silent Steppe: The Memoir of a Kazakh Nomad Under Stalin

Title: The Silent Steppe: The Memoir of a Kazakh Nomad Under Stalin Author: Mukhamet Shayakhmetov Translated by: Jan Butler Year of publishing: 2007 Publisher: The Overlook Press Source: Purchased Genre: historical nonfiction This is a first-hand account of the genocide of the Kazakh nomads in the 1920s and 30s. Nominally Muslim, the Kazakhs and their culture owed as much to shamanism and paganism as they did to Islam. Their ancient traditions and economy depended on the breeding and herding of stock across the vast steppes of central Asia, and their independent, nomadic way of life was anathema to the Soviets. Seven-year-old Shayakhmetov and his mother and sisters were left to fend for themselves after his father was branded a "kulak" (well-off peasant and thus class enemy), stripped of his possessions, and sent to a prison camp where he died. In the following years the family travelled thousands of miles across Kazakhstan by foot, surviving on the charity of rel

Big Site News (I'm Moving!)

What's up guys! It's been over a week since I got back from Montreal and I can't believe it's all over now. But life goes on, and I sure have a lot of stuff to cross off my list before the end of summer. First, there's Campnanowrimo, which I do every July (and April). I took this opportunity to finish the first draft of my new novel. I'm also moving! No, I don't mean like to a new city (or Canada). I'm moving this blog to Wordpress. I've been wanting and planning to switch to Wordpress for a long time, and now finally seems like the right time. Nothing will change. I will be posting book reviews, discussions, and an occasional Top Ten- list. But I will be doing it on a platform that will allow me to be more creative, and to grow as a writer. I want this to eventually become an author website, with that author being... well, me. The official date for the move will be announced as soon as I'll finish building my Wordpress site and transport
