Kindle Ninja Review: RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB Edition #9

By ChaoticNinja

Kindle Ninja Review Edition #9  featuring Curse and Revenge Curse: Book 1 of Wexkia Trilogy by Dale Furse ★★★ ★ ★ 5/5 As Nell’s 17 th birthday draws near, she starts to experience changes that all feels strange to her. Her heightened senses enable her to communicate with animals and sense people’s feelings. It becomes apparent that Nell is anything but ordinary. The story immediately takes shape and sets the conflict while you’re still reeling from the astonishing discovery. The plot thickens when more secrets are revealed and it quickly takes you to a world so alien, it gets perplexing – in a good way. The air in Australia must be very conducive for wickedly imaginative writing as the Aussie author is able to create a world teeming with quirky characters and strange creatures with superhuman abilities. Here’s the brilliant part – you’re immersed in a fantasy world, but confronted by real hard issues of racism, discrimination and exclusion. The ...

Words Some Authors Will Never Use In Their Book Titles

If you are easily offended by filthy words, pls. stop reading. You've been warned. I was reading   a discussion on the “worst words” in the English language that quickly turned into a discussion of the nastiest words used in novels. It became very entertaining fast!  This gave me an idea for a blog post, but I wanted a little participation from authors and writers in my social media network. So, I asked 60 authors this intriguing question: Results Warning: Cannot be unseen. Click for bigger view. This could blind you. A word cloud is generated in which the size of the word indicates its frequency (or popularity or importance – or in this case, the level of disgust?). **The word “THE” should be included but the word cloud maker didn’t include articles. My thoughts: -Most of the words are vulgar, filthy, and just plain disgusting. You might need to wash your eyes after reading. And if yo...

Don't panic! All the EPISODES of Conversations over Milk & Cookies can be found HERE .  Or you can just look to your right (no, your other right) and you'll find the Quick Links . **** Welcome to Episode 8 of  Conversations over Milk & Cookies  hosted by Kindle Ninja. What is this madness, you ask?  It's my way of supporting authors and writers from the  RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB .  We interact with them everyday, directly through tweets, or indirectly through re-tweets, but we don't really know much about them. Their personalities really don't shine through in tweets and re-tweets. In Episodes 1 to 6 , some of the Board Members of Rave Reviews Book Club were featured. Episodes 7 to XXX   feature the non-Board members. In this episode, I managed to locate Author  Katie Hayoz ( @katiehayoz ) and her secret popcorn stash at a bank vault in Geneva. Let's get to know Katie in more than 140 words, shall we? KIND...

It's my honor to host Rave Reviews Book Club Spotlight Author of the Week: JANICE G. ROSS  JUMPING SHIP The year was nineteen seventy-five. Barren couple, Pearl and Edward Riley stumbled upon a newborn baby girl. Her cries could only be heard by a true mother, which Pearl immediately became. Bundled up with their new child, they discovered a parcel of artifacts and a scribbled note that read: Sakkara . Pregnant seamstress, Petrina Dugal, became a runaway at the age of twenty-six. She ran away from a brutish husband, Roger, and a well-loved South American home in Georgetown , Guyana ; at the heart of her rebellion – an enigmatic lover named Michael Chen. Pet and Mikey, as they became affectionately known, allowed love to blossom in front of her police officer husband and an intrusive community. Were they not aware of the dangers? Or did the pursuit of love trump obligations? Sakkara Riley grew up with two loving parents – adoptive parents to be exact. She...
