A Quest of Heroes (Book #1 in the Sorcerer's Ring) by Morgan Rice @MorganRiceBooks

Free for a Limited Time.

3.6 Stars

From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes the debut of a dazzling new fantasy series. A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1 IN THE SORCERER’S RING) revolves around the epic coming of age story of one special boy, a 14 year old from a small village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Ring. The youngest of four, the least favorite of his father, hated by his brothers, Thorgrin senses he is different from the others. He dreams of becoming a great warrior, of joining the King’s men and protecting the Ring from the hordes of creatures on the other side of the Canyon. When he comes of age and is forbidden by his father to try out for the King’s Legion, he refuses to take no for an answer: he journeys out on his own, determined to force his way into King’s Court and be taken seriously.

But King’s Court is rife with its own family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. King MacGil must choose an heir from amongst his children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, still sits untouched, waiting for the chosen one to arrive. Thorgrin arrives as an outsider and battles to be accepted, and to join the King’s Legion.

Thorgrin comes to learn he has mysterious powers he does not understand, that he has a special gift, and a special destiny. Against all odds he falls in love with the king’s daughter, and as their forbidden relationship blossoms, he discovers he has powerful rivals. As he struggles to make sense of his powers, the king’s sorcerer takes him under his wing and tells him of a mother he never knew, in a land far away, beyond the Canyon, beyond even the land of the Dragons.

Before Thorgrin can venture out and become the warrior he yearns to be, he must complete his training. But this may be cut short, as he finds himself propelled into the center of royal plots and counterplots, ones that may threaten his love and bring him down—and the entire kingdom with him.

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A QUEST OF HEROES is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. It is 82,000 words.

Review: Dragonfly in Amber: A Novel (Outlander) by Diana Gabaldon

The second part of the series from Diana Gabaldon that explores the power of a love which transcends space and time. A magnificent epic that once again sweeps us back in time to the drama and passion of 18th-century Scotland...For twenty years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones ...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time ...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his ....Now a legacy of blood and desire will test her beautiful copper-haired daughter, Brianna, as Claire's spellbinding journey of self-discovery continues in the intrigue-ridden Paris court of Charles Stuart ...in a race to thwart a doomed Highlands uprising ...and in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

I was excited to hear the second part of the Outlander series. Genuinely excited because I love the first one so much. I was expecting more of the same awesome writing style and timing and characters.

I didn't get that. I was horribly disappointed. None of the time was to weave words in a beautiful and magically way that brought colorful visions within the mind's eye. Hints of it was there but then they would be later reused by another character. The vision broken and it's pieces shared by other character's inner dialogue. It seemed lazy and rushed.

There were other attempts to construct a details web of politics and backstabbing, very well done by Game of Thrones. But it wasn't there and never could due to the mcguffin being a historical fact. It's like watching the mechanics for the Titanic. You want want them to overcome impossible odds but we all know, it ain't going to happen.

We are introduced very quickly to Claire's daughter as well as other interesting characters but new given ample time to care for them. It too felt rush and quickly resolved.

It was so bad I nearly gave up with only 4 discs left but I soldiered on. I love the main characters and great supporting characters. If you can, read a spoiler filled synopsis. It will save you 30 hours.

Interview with Rita Avaud A.Najm

Digital Ink Spot: Please introduce yourself to our readers.

My name is Rita Avaud A.Najm. I am an American-Lebanese mother of two amazing boys. I was born and raised In Ashrafiyeh, Lebanon, one of the eastern parts of Beirut. Because of France’s mandate over Lebanon following World War I, French became the second language in Lebanon. I never thought that I would teach the language that I’ve studied and used for more than 20 years until I came to Utah. I felt so glad to know that many public and private schools in Salt Lake County offer a dual immersion French program. This fact encouraged me to teach French and to start writing my “La Petite Rita,” a series of stories about a French little girl, who came from Paris to live with her family in the United States of America.

Digital Ink Spot: At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?

Before Utah, I lived for more than five years in Houston, Texas. I even went back to college there and studied Business Management. Since I was working at one of Houston’s school libraries, I decided that my graduation project should be a guide for parents and teachers to encourage students to read more poetry and non-fiction books. My Guide and “La Petite Rita” were not my first books. I actually

started writing when I was 7 years old. My humble works were mostly plays, song lyrics, and Arabic poetry. My mom bought me at this age many of the children’s series of “Martine.” This very famous French book series, written by the Belgians Marcel Marlier and Gilbert Delahaye, has sold about 100 million copies and is one of the best-selling book series. I’ve always loved these stories and their beautiful colorful illustrations. I hope that “La Petite Rita” will become as famous as “Martine” and also “La Madeline.”

Digital Ink Spot: We learned that you have been writing since a child. If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

I wish that I can go back in time and save all my writings, my essays and scratch note books that had all of my ideas and thoughts. I wish I wrote more and kept all my beautiful innocent joyful moments and my silliest odd scribbles. Now I try my best to remember and to make from my memories and my adventurous stories, a cute way to teach children about good morals and right conduct, while entertaining them and teaching them some common French words.



Digital Ink Spot: We also learned that you illustrate your own stories. Which comes first, the illustrations or the stories?

Stories always come first followed by illustrations that are usually to show the story and details of the characters mostly.

Digital Ink Spot: How is the creative process of painting and writing similar and different?

Writing and painting are both art. That’s my personal opinion. They both hold a message. They both show your own thoughts and the details of your creative mind and imagination. Tools might be different; one needs a brush, while the other needs a pencil. Writing and painting need you to be gifted and talented first... To master both, you need willingness to learn and practice. In painting, happiness or sadness can be seen in colors. In writing, these feelings are read. Yet paintings can make

viewers visualize something different then what the artist was trying to express or show in his painting. Any view, anything, an animal, a landscape, a beautiful face or a unique object can inspire an artist to draw a painting. But not everything you see deserves to have a book written about it. Another particular thing about writing is that you can fix any mistake; you can reread it and edit it as much as you can, as well as adding ideas or more actions and characters to your work anytime. When it comes to painting, once your work is done, it will be difficult to remove or change anything.

Digital Ink Spot: Where do your children stories come from?

My “La Petite Rita” stories are mostly about my childhood. Some are about my children, like “Rita’s Art Project,” one of the first volume stories. “Rita” in this story is actually my son who likes to draw, and the mother volunteer who gives art classes is actually me, who usually volunteers at my children school and teaches art and reads stories about the masters of art. Besides the two volumes of “La Petite Rita,” I have many Stories ready and waiting to be published. Some are fiction ones, full of imagination and creativity yet they all have a message and a lesson for a better conduct. Imagination is the key!

WELCOME TO ASKERGAN COUNTY, WHERE THE LAST MURDER WAS COMMITTED MORE THAN A DECADE AGO...

Tucked away in northeastern Vermont, picturesque Askergan County is the perfect place for a winter vacation — for the lucky few who know about it. Askergan is so peaceful, crime so nonexistent, that they don't even have a full-time police force... just a Sheriff and two deputies who spend most of their time dishing out parking tickets and breaking up the occasional bar fight.

But that was before the storm.

A blizzard suddenly descends on the county, trapping Cody Lawrence and his young family inside their home. At first their only concerns are to stay inside and keep warm. But Cody soon finds out that there is more to fear than just snow and ice... something has been unleashed by the storm, something ancient, something evil. Something with primal needs.

When the power goes out and they lose cell phone service, Cody realizes that his family's only chance of survival is to team up with the dysfunctional sheriff's department and head out into the snow to face the very thing that so desperately needs their skin...

It started innocently enough. Beautiful Harper gave Sean those eyes… those eyes that meant, yes, take me. But Harper didn’t know Sean’s secrets… She didn’t know that he liked it rough.

More than rough. He liked to dominate. To punish. To degrade. It was the only way that the black hole in his soul wouldn’t swallow him up.

He would push her a little too far, and she would run. They all ran, eventually.

But that’s not what happened... when he put his hands around her throat and squeezed, Harper moaned. When he told her to stay away, she didn’t listen, misbehaving until she got spanked. When he took out the handcuffs, there was excitement in her eyes, mixed with a little fear.

The doe-eyed redhead liked it. More than that, she wanted it. She said so, time and again.

That’s the thing about sexy strangers, though… you never know what they’re hiding. And Harper is carrying a burden so heavy that even Sean’s secrets pale in comparison.

But she has a plan.

Steal a dilapidated and malfunctioning freighter from a junkyard full of lawless savages. Slightly suicidal, but she believes she can do it.

Bram Stoker ingeniously modernized gothic folklore by moving his vampire from traditional castle ruins to modern England. With Dracula, which has been interpreted and dissected by scholars for generations, Stoker changed the vampire novel forever.

Revised edition: Previously published as Dracula, this edition of Dracula (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Interview with Stephanie Crosby @Stephwashere2

The Digital Ink Spot: Please tell the readers about yourself.
Stephanie Crosby: I write because I am. I am because I write. I want readers to read my stories even after I’m gone. I want to be remembered. What do I want to accomplish? Fun while I’m living. The joy of having the gift to teach and entertain readers. What I'm trying to accomplish as a writer is I wanted to reach out to people to see if I'm the only one with a bad dating life. My next YA novel is about a teen girl, but I don’t want to give away the premise. I haven’t seen it written before, and I don’t want someone else to grab it first. Normally I don’t worry about that sort of thing because we all tell stories differently, but this premise burns.

The Digital Ink Spot: What is your latest story about?
Stephanie Crosby: My story is about The Last Virgin Alive, a new adult romantic suspense novel about a girl's first year of college. Far from home at an out of state college, the family drama she tried to get away from still exists. While struggling with college life and her family's issues, she is also feeling rejected and out of place because she is still a virgin. Will she find her way or will her struggles catch up with her?  

The Digital Ink Spot: When did you start writing?

Stephanie Crosby: I started writing years ago. Then when my friends kept going on dates and I wasn't, I wrote 'The Last Virgin Alive' while watching TV instead of complaining about my dating life. I wanted to write my story to see if others can relate..

The Digital Ink Spot: Where can readers find you?
Stephanie Crosby: I enjoy FB because I like to connect on an emotional level with readers and friends. I enjoy listening to their fears, joys, and sorrows. It’s life. I want to be in the thick of it with them, cry with them and pray for them.
http://www.facebook.com/StephanieCwashere
Twitter feels like a bunch of people shouting about themselves. It isn’t about warm relationships. It feels cold to me. Nonetheless, you’ll find me here: Twitter: @Stephwashere2
I love to share writerly information at my blog: http://stephwashere2.blogspot.com/
My books are at Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20835585-the-last-virgin-alive

The Digital Ink Spot: What sets your stories apart from the rest?
Stephanie Crosby: My novels will take readers to new places where emotions run high. The Last Virgin Alive will take readers wondering what's next for a while. If you don’t know what that is then you should read the book. It’s a fun sport. Well, most of the time. This book will give readers insight as to why bad dates happen and what could come out of it.

Review: Outlander - Audiobook, CD, Unabridged by Diana Gabaldon

It was my boss at work that shared this gem of a story with me. It literally has everything in it. Swords battles, gun battles, stampedes, love and sex, history and science fiction and the occult. It is a jammed pack epic. Check out the synopsis:

In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans . in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser? Davina Porter's lyrical narration will launch listeners into an exhilarating world of heroism, pulse-pounding adventure, and breathtaking romance as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love.

The reader, Davina Porter does an excellent job. Doesn't quite have a handle on men's voices but it isn't distracting. 
The announcement the CD has ended is always appreciated. It's 32.5 hours on 28 CDs. It moves quick and never dull. I hear there is a version of this on Showtime. I've not watched it yet. I have started the second part to this series and I am loving Dragonfly in Amber.

Review: The Girl in the Spider's Web

Summary: she is the girl with the dragon tattoo—a genius hacker and uncompromising misfit. He is a crusading journalist whose championing of the truth often brings him to the brink of prosecution. Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female superhacker—a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well. The implications are staggering. Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it . .

Review: David Largercrantz tries to capture the writing style of Stieg Larsson. He almost gets there. I'd say most of it pick ups right where Larsson left off but it is a task not easily done and Largercrantz' version of the Millennium gang feels like an evolution of a writer's style. It's an enjoyable story that feels rushed to get to the end. An ending that doesn't satisfy as previous books had. It does give a feeling that there could be more story.
The production of the CD was done well. There are no added interludes to indicate the CD is ending.
It is an enjoyable story worth the listen.

Review: Wild West Detective by James Clay

Summary: Rance Dehner, an operative for the Lowrie Detective Agency, pursues a wanted killer to the small town of Hardin, Texas. After bringing down the killer in a gunfight, Dehner discovers the gunslick was in town to murder Leona Carson, a penniless 14-year-old girl with a baby. Dehner cannot understand why anyone would employ a gun for hire to kill Leona, and finding the answer to that question throws him into a whirlwind of violent encounters. Soon he must dodge bullets from an onslaught of professional killers, while uncovering the shameful secrets of Hardin's leading citizens.

Review: This was short and sweet. Much of the story line is telegraphed using all the old western tropes. Don't turn to this book to discovery anything new. Turn to this book to be entertained and amused. For some reason the author likes the words mumbo jumbo. It was overused but funny to me.

 The reader, Milton Bagby, does an excellent job of creating voices to help the listener differentiate between characters. The audio book was published by RadioArchives.com. They did a great job and added the cd ending interludes I love and spoke about in a previous review. Like I said, this isn't a ground breaking novel. It's short and uses well used western tropes to convey an unoriginal story. That doesn't make it a bad book. Think of it as an old friend that tells you an old story you never tire of hearing.

Review: The Reliquary by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Summary: Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beat. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare... in Reliquary, from bestselling coauthors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

Review: This is my third book I've read by Preston and Child and I liked this way more than The Ice Limit. It might equal Two Graves as an intense adventure. This also introduces audiences to Pendergast for the second time. The Relic is the predecessor to this book. It was not necessary to have read The Relic. The gaps were nicely filled in for me and had no trouble following the story. The story is fast paced and very interesting.

The story comes from multiple characters that intertwine evenly and fairly. Though it is marketed as a Pendergast story, he is not the star nor the hero that saves everyone.

Dick Hill is the reader and he always does a wonderful job. I was originally drawn by the authors and to see that Dick Hill read it, was the icing on the cake.

Brilliance Audio is the publisher and they always do an excellent job. My favorite little tidbit is that they play a little interlude at the end of the CD to tell you the disc is finished. It's helpful to me and I really like it.

I can recommend this with out reservations. Pick it up.

Review: The Ice Limit by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

This is a fun story but extremely predictable as far as I'm concerned. There is a lot of science in this book. A lot. But the scientists are dumb because I new before they did what was coming at every turn/ That  makes it less enjoyable than hoped. Also the ending is a real downer. I hear there are indirect sequels to the story that I have yet to hear. I liked the premise and I am hopeful that that the entire story arc is more satisfying than the this story on it's own.

The only other story I've heard by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child was T

Interview with Ruth Bleakley-Thiessen

The Digital Ink Spot: We had the pleasure of interviewing author, Ruth Bleakley-Thiessen, I will allow her to introduce herself to you.
Ruth Bleakley-Thiessen: I'm an author, also a coach and an artist. I've just published 2 non-fiction ebooks - one for Women:Woman Rise and Shine - a simple path for women who want to be themselves and Flown the Coop - a guide to dealing with transition when the kids leave home.

TDIS: What are you trying to accomplish as a writer?
RBT: I have put all of my own experience and that of 12 years of coaching into these two books, offering a set-out guide to look at what comes up for you and how to deal with it. My own 3 kids left home within 9 months and I realized that there weren't too many books on the market to go to for some help. It's a huge transition people go through. I interviewed many parents and have given conclusions from these interviews. I want to give this to others who were in the same position as I was. The book for women takes a look at the life of a woman, especially from my perspective, as I grew up in a male dominated world. I had to find out for myself what it takes to be a woman, and I have been working with women for 12 years now, specializing in feminine problems. It's not that we have to look for something, we have to peel back the things keeping us back from being our real selves. This book shows us the importance of having other women in our lives, as it used to be within a women's circle.

TDIS: When is your book available?
RBT: These books have been available since 1st March 2016. I'm writing another one for women about how they can tidy up their lives, as soon as I have the two translated into German and published. I declared last year as the year of writing for me, and managed the two books I most wanted to write. I thoroughly enjoyed the process.

TDIS: Where can readers find you?
RBT: Readers can find me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ruth.bleakleythiessen and on my website http://www.ruth-bleakley-thiessen.de/books/ My books are on sale on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CAANLUS?ref_=pe_2427780_160035660 and http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CABCUT0?ref_=pe_2427780_160035660

TDIS: Why should people read you stories?
RBT: The best answer for why my books should be read are the reviews:

Flown the Coop - "This book gives an invaluable insight into all that can happen when our children ‘fly the coop’ written from the heart, from first hand experience, from the pain, the reality and the truth from what was, to what is, to what can be! We are taken gently and with exquisite compassion thru’ the steps of transition and given practical suggestions and examples to guide us and bring us the freedom to revel in who we are! now! at this moment in our lives! We can truly acknowledge and ultimately celebrate ourselves – with all the discovered aspects of what new directions we might take, what we can achieve, what we can change and how we can bring about those changes – we are shown the glorious possibilities of choice!" -Tricia Hudson

 “This book emanates a confident woman, whose life's experiences have taken her to the edge and beyond and her courage has given her the power to move through its challenges and come out the other side glistening. She has listened well to all her teachers and she has understood the truth. Each chapter gives the reader a glimpse into her life, making it personal, and in that share, the subject matter is easier to hear.“ Valerie Hayes TAWA

 "Page after page is filled with love as Ruth guides us to discover the religion of love any woman naturally connects to. With this book she encourages all women to ride the way of female liberation sweeping the planet and get their surfboards ready to even enjoy the ride - arm in arm with men as they rise and shine into a more natural world. A easy and inspiring read, to come back to time and time again!" Ariane Schurmann, author, seminarleader and founder of Donna Divina International

Review: Extinction Evolution (The Extinction Cycle Book 4) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

I picked this up without knowledge of the books prior to its release. It's the fourth in series. What drew me immediately was the reader, Bronson Pinchot. Maybe you don't know Bronson like I know Bronson. He has a very special place in my heart as an actor from a TV series called Perfect Strangers 

I loved that show. But you are wondering about the audiobook. It is well read by Bronson. It is well written by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. The story of a world devastated by a virus outbreak where an elite fighting force works to gather as much data on a new species formed by the virus in order to kill the variants and take back earth as the dominate species.

I enjoyed the book despite not having read (heard) the other audiobooks. I would love to see how this series ends. The final book volume was released in February and the audiobook will be available April 19th.

I hope you pick this gem up. I love finding a new author what can write good stories and has other books available to gobble up. Look forward to more reviews for this author.
