Start The Reading Habit Early With A Children’s Book Of The Month Club

Kenyatta D. Ayotte — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:59:30 +0000

One of the most effective ways to really get your kids into the life-long habit of reading is to sign them up in a children’s book of the month club. It is always reassuring to adults to learn that some of the same things they may have enjoyed as kids are available for their own children or charges to fall in love with as well. After all, today’s children, and, actually, everyone, have more and more entertainment options accessible to us each and every day, so there is no getting around the fact that some of the older options, such as reading, need to get a hand up now and then.

Two Welcomes, One to China and one to Gail Z Martin

All our metrics show that we are most popular in China. Wow. I hope we can improve and be worthy of their interest. The other welcome is to Gail Z Martin whose books I have long admired. Her latest books are already available on the Amazon Kindle and by the time you read this they will be available in print.

The Sworn has a typical Martin dark opening as plague and famine scourge the Winter Kingdoms, a vast invasion force is mustering from beyond the Northern Sea.

At its heart, a dark spirit mage wields the blood magic of ancient, vanquished gods. Summoner-King Martris Drayke must attempt to meet this threat. Neighbouring countrys reel toward anarchy while plague decimates their leaders.

Drayke must seek new allies from among the living – and the dead – as an untested generation of rulers face their first battle. All fine so far but then someone disturbs the legendary Dread as they rest in a millennia-long slumber beneath sacred barrows.

Their warrior guardians, the Sworn, know the Dread could be pivotal as a force for great good or evil. But if it’s the latter, could even the Summoner-King’s sorcery prevail?

Well I’m about half way thru at the moment and things look definately difficult dark dank and dodgy to me!

The Sworn

The Dread
To finish of this Fallen Kings duology ( an exuberant adventure of swordsmanship, sorcery and a new terror threatening a kingdom in crisis). Our Hero King Tris Drayke takes what remains of the Margolan army north to fight a war Margolan is ill-prepared to fight.

As spies confirm Tris’ worst fear a new threat rises across the sea: a dark summoner who intends to make the most of the Winter Kingdoms’ weakness.

In Isencroft, King Donelan is assassinated and Tris’s wife, Kiara, his daughter, will now have no choice except to return and claim the crown. The rogue mage’s agents will go to any length to prevent her from reaching her goal.

Despite all this Kiara and Tris must discover the truth behind the dark summoner, the mysterious power surrounding their infant son, and face the awesome power of the Dread as they rise from their barrows for the first time in over a millennium.
