New Book Coming Tuesday! Plus More Magic Creatures

I have to mention Silvera the dire wolf again. Did I say she also has magic powers? Due to drinking the alchemist’s potion, she can fly, create constellations, and make fire.

There are other animals with magic powers, but one is gifted by Elohim, the great Creator god, while the other was changed by alchemist chemistry. You have to read the story to find out which one.

They’re Chidike the Medicine Primate and Oma the Owl, both talking animals and each with their own special feats.

There you can sign up and have chapters of my new book emailed to you.

Yet Another Book Review—A Little Red Riding Hood One

That’s right. I wrote another book review, only this one is on a picture book retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. The book is written by Lari Don and illustrated by Célia Chauffrey.

A Book Theme . . . And a Movie

Let me stall in answering by talking about a movie I’ve just seen.

I watched the movie version of Phyllis Reynolds Naylor’s Shiloh.

What I Have Been Doing . . . And a Fairy Tale Retelling

In the meantime, something definite is happening. Another story? Yep, and it’s a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood!

I’m going to be featured in an anthology from Beyond the Bookery called Of Dangers and Dreams, and my story will be friendly for teens and tweens.

Happy 4th…and Christmas in July!

Happy Independence Day to all you Americans! Just be sure to stay safe around fireworks.

If you also observe Christmas in July, I wrote a book review on an adorable holiday picture book. It’s posted on Jennifer Hallmark’s blog, and if you love sled dogs, it’s the book for you.
