The Shade Tree Choir


 

Meet eight-year-old Krame. His friends call him the “Thinker,” and he’s leader of their gang since he’s always the one to plot their pranks so they won’t get caught. At home, though, there’s no getting away with anything. Krame’s father is an alcoholic, who beats him mercilessly, forces him to stand in the corner for hours on end, and locks him in an unlit stairwell without food or water. His mentally ill mother is also an alcoholic, and fails to give her son any scrap of emotional support. Things go on like this… until tragedy strikes.

The grim truth of Krame’s childhood stays hidden for forty years until he opens up to one of his old friends when he returns home to bury his father. In the process of recollecting his past, Krame discovers his father was not who he thought he was.

Empyreal Warrior Series.
(Book One in Series – Reminiscence.)

Can someone’s entire life – the only one they have ever known – be a complete lie? The truth is out … and Coralie Collier is about to find just what lies within that truth – the truth about herself, the truth about her heritage, and the truth about her purpose …

In Reminiscence, lies a story of a natural born heroine, Coralie Collier — she just doesn’t know it yet. Coralie lives a simple, almost boring life, that is, until things in her life start to get interesting. Outlandish dreams, bizarre and dangerous encounters, and missing pieces to her memory, are all incredibly important fragmented clues that could help Coralie in finding out her true identity. Along with these clues, and the help of an old family friend, maybe there is a chance for Coralie to find out what is going on around her before it’s too late …

 

 

Meet the Author:  C. Marie Mosley

C. Marie Mosley grew up in a small town in the south, where she enjoyed being able to stay up all hours of the night staring at the stars of a summer night and thinking up characters, scenes, and stories to write down in her journals. While some she kept to herself, others she would share with friends and family. An avid reader, she spent much time dreaming of the day she would publish some of her own short stories and novels.

After high school, C. Marie shelved her dream of writing for a short while, as she felt the need to focus on her courses of study in college. She has always had a thirst for knowledge of all sorts, literature being a favorite. And though she went in other directions of study, she always kept literature and writing hidden, sort of as her getaway place of blissful retreat….After a number of years spent teaching, C. Marie decided, with the nudge and push of her wonderfully insistent husband, to submit her writing to be published.

Reminiscence is C. Marie’s first novel and she continues her dream of writing adventures to share with others.

“When I was a child, I had one ambition. I wanted to be an old person with an amazing collection of stories to tell. I remember thinking to myself that it didn’t really matter what I did with my life as long as there was a good story involved.

It is this driving ambition to tell a good story that leads me to do and try unusual things. In no particular order: I’ve worked with street kids, taught mountain boarding, and helped run a sailing camp from the deck of an old wooden sailboat. I’ve busked (and made good money) and lived overseas.

I harvested vineyards by hand in Germany and backpacked with a guitar around Europe. Somewhere in that jumble, I also attended Bible College and received a diploma in Biblical Studies. Not really sure what I will use it for, but it does tend to spice up conversation.

I fell in love three years ago. It was the first time and it was real. I had decided that I would rather be an old lady with a cat (yeck!) than settle for anything less than a perfect love that fills me. I wanted the love that you see in movies and read about in books, nothing less.

I found him. My husband Jason is the only man in this world big enough to contain everything that I am without stifling me. He is also the one who pushed me into a writing career – something that I will be eternally grateful for.

Now I live on Vancouver Island. For the first time in my adult life I have remained in one place for more than a year. I love the quiet pace of life and I savor the simple pleasures of good friends, long walks, fresh baked bread and hot cups of tea. And of course, writing.

And I can’t help but marvel at how long it took me to re-learn what I had figured out in third grade: that the thing I want to do most in life, is tell a good story.”

The Sceptre of Zanafiar by Reno Charlton
A Children’s/YA Fantasy Novel

The Sceptre of Zanafiar

by Reno Charlton

‘Cast across Zanafiar in different places, unknowingly guarded by all of its races, the seven gems will remain hidden there, until found by the rightful keeper and heir’

Fourteen year old William Dolman has spent most of his life in children’s homes feeling like an outsider. However, his life changes when he receives a mysterious parcel – a book…but all the pages are blank. William starts to have weird dreams about the book and a stranger who seems to be willing him to use it.

However, the book still remains a puzzle until one night, as he tries to dodge some of the bullies at the home, he finds himself transported to a strange new world. This is where William’s adventures really begin, as he – along with a selection of rather unusual companions that he meets along the way – sets out to complete a quest to restore a magical sceptre…the Sceptre of Zanafiar.

In an adventure that is filled with excitement yet fraught with danger, William discovers not only a whole new world but also finds himself on a magical journey of self discovery where he learns who he really is and finally discovers his destiny.

 

 

A Message from the Author: Reno Charlton

Having been brought up on Enid Blyton, my love of children’s magic and fantasy was developed at an early age, with my favourite childhood books being The Enchanted Wood series. As I got older, I continued to read my favourite children’s books (which I still do) but also became a big fan of horror, particularly works by Stephen King. I believe that both of these legendary authors have helped to influence my writing and shape my career, enabling me to write in two distinct and different genres catering for both imaginative children and older readers who enjoy stories with a twist.
