It’s A Library – Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS
He stepped into the living room and stared in surprise. The walls were covered with bookcases filled with to overflowing with books. Books that wouldn’t fit on the bookcases had been stacked on the floor. He shook his head in amazement, then noticed that even the coffee table and end tables were covered with books, as well.
“Uh, Suzie?” he called.
“Yes, Robert?” she called from the kitchen.
“Don’t you think you have too many books?”
“Nonsense! There’s no such thing as too many books!”
“Are you sure? I’m getting a bit of a Hoarders vibe from all these books in here.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, Robert. You know it’s not hoarding when it comes to books. I’ve just created my own library. Now be a dear and bring me the cookbook for Italian dinners, would you? The third bookcase on the left, fifth shelf.”
Robert’s eyebrows rose briefly, then he shook his head slightly and made his way over to the bookcase for the cookbook. She was quirky, but he couldn’t help wanting to find out more about her.

Bored Of Self-Isolation? Go On An Adventure Instead #Fantasy #Kids #Book #Sale
If you’re bored being stuck at home in quarantine or self-isolation because of COVID-19, why don’t you try to escape for while and go on some fun, lighthearted Fantasy adventures instead.
To get things started, I’m putting my Fantasy short story anthology on sale to make things a little easier on your pockets.
Confronting evil sorcerers. Fighting monsters. Dueling metal golems. Searching for a sea monster. Hunting lost treasure. Finding a missing show dog. Competing in talent contests. Helping lost children. These are just some of the widely varied exploits that the young mercenary sorceress Marissa “Riss” Cobalt shares in this second Adventures in Sorcery book. Riss reveals how she ended up as a mercenary and chronicles some of the many adventures, ranging from fun to serious, that she’s had prior to the events of Kismet and Tell.
Chronicles of Riss will be on sale for $0.99 for the Kindle starting April 8, 2020 until the end of the month.
And although it’s not on sale, you can also get the first Adventures in Sorcery book:
Marissa “Riss” Cobalt is a young sorceress-for-hire known throughout the world not only for her blue hair and temper but also for helping people with their problems if the money is right. So naturally, when the nephew of one of the ruling lords of the city of Westover disappears while searching for a legendary treasure, Riss is called on. Since she’s on retainer to the lords, she has no choice but to accept, despite feeling there’s more going on than she’s being told.
Get Kismet And Tell in e-book or paperback from Amazon here.
If you need a new book for the kids to enjoy and help them escape being cooped up in the house, how about letting them go on an adventure traveling around the world and visiting different countries without even leaving the house.
Young Luca receives a handmade wooden chair from his grandfather for Christmas – a chair that comes to life for him and takes the small boy traveling to different countries.
This book is recommended for ages 7 and up.
Let your child join young Luca on his travels and learn a little about places like Germany, France, and Egypt. Get The Little Italian Traveling Chair in paperback on Amazon here.

You might laugh at the gnome making funny illusions in the bar. Right now, he’s trying to win the heart of a lovely woman. That’s the mood you want him to stay in. There are many reasons not to anger a master of manipulating reality. Sure, you might be able to see through the spells, but can you do it before you’re defeated?
- Illusionists may affect the senses, but that can trigger other reactions. Allergies are one option if you’re going for pranks. Another is using illusions to physically push a target to the point of collapse. If you can’t summon ghosts then make some of your own. A dragon might be tough, but you can always have only the head come bursting through the wall. This is extra deadly if you have a heart condition.
- You will never live down the picture of you making out…
