THE STORYBOOK, by Elena Dorothy Bowman

Who hasn’t marveled at the sight of a child nestled in his or her grandparents arms as the reader takes that child into the kingdom of tigers, and dragons and bears, oh my! Watching as their grandchild’s eyes light up, drifting off into the domain of far away places, to distant parts of an exotic world, to the bottom of the sea,  and even to the far reaches of space.

POWERS IN BALANCE: Red Knight Chronicles, Vol. 6. by Ray Morand

There is a bloody war being waged between the mage-ruled Kingdom of Ludnikan led by the dark elf armies of the Nameless King against the elven Kingdom of Nadezhda and her ally the Kingdom of Niadhardal. The Scaled Fist and Nexus teams are barely holding their enemies at the borders and then only because of the dragons constantly being recruited by Captain Isobel, the only known dragon speaker.

Heroic firefighter Robert J. Doyle is back, still struggling with his inner demons, the result of an incident in war torn Lebanon, when he ordered the destruction of a complete village. As he walked through the carnage, Doyle vowed one day to pay for the loss of innocent lives.

News!

Hi!

It's me, Jack!

Gossip is my favorite thing, so... Arline's face is sure red! The last Catching UP! had Elaine Simmons's name on THE STORYBOOK, when the book was actually written by Elena Dorothy Bowman! I know she is sorry, Elena, but Arline should really be more careful.  As for me, I love your Sarah's Landing series. Telepathic communication is my favorite thing! After all, it's what I do.

Author Elaine Simmons and her family will be appearing on Saturday afternoon at the National Outdoor Show in Golden Hill, MD. with copies of her newest book ROOTIE'S ADVENTURES.

Bashful author Tom Ward insists his volunteer paramedic character Robert J. Doyle is not a hero, just because he goes out and saves lives. Arline wrote "heroic" on the cover anyway and said she believes that all paramedics are heroes, because when it's you lying on the Gurney, you know who the heroes really are.
