I never really thought of it as beautiful, just home.

Yep. XD

Snow is good, as long as you don’t have to travel in it and the power doesn’t go out.

I do like living here. We have strong churches and ——-. (I vehemently dislike politics)

I have never moved, but as my parents were both born in other states (to Texas folks)…[Read more]

I live in the Piney woods of East Texas, so round topped pines and ceder (The type of evergreens that explode pollen in the spring). We don’t get much snow, and when we do it’s usually just a dusting on top of ice, and it never stays long. However, every other year or so, we get a winter storm around February. The roads, and…[Read more]

I don’t like Bonnifer. At all. Or Weaver. I mean, I could almost (but definitely not) prefer Oster Will. However, I don’t know which one I dislike the most.

@lana-blanchard

The most beautiful place… My family has traveled much around the US to see family, so it’s hard to decide. Or remember.

• Tacoma Narrows and the Puget Sound with the tide rushing in.
• An overlook near Snoqualmie Pass (In the winter).
• This valley in Wyoming where you can stand on one rise and look across at the mountains…

And Janner giving his life for Kalmar and all the broken sort of fulfils the plotline between Artham and Esben. If that makes any sense.

@godlyfantasy12

Amen!

@trahia-the-minstrel

Wow, I never knew there were such like things available. Lo and behold the age in which we live!

That sounds awesome though.

*Stormy auplause*

Which was your favorite book? Mine was always the first, but my siblings say that if I actually read (opposed to skimming so fast I miss half the scenes) Ember Falls that’ll change. I doubt it…

@keilah-h

Anyway, my animals are complete animals in clothing that walk on two legs but often run (or lope) on four. I’m still figuring out how exactly armor and weaponry will work with this, but so far I haven’t had any real difficulties.

@keilah-h

Thank you! I love some of those too, especially when it’s like Green Ember or Mistmantle Chronicles. These are physically just like normal animals here (besides the whole clothes, weapons thing), but are otherwise persons (if not human).

@karissa-chmil

I just reread my response and realized it was pressent tense (English, *sigh*). My Dad went over to Spain for a several months to help a missionary family get settled, like close to twenty-five years ago, so something’s have probably changed. =] I have seen a bunch of pictures though, and seriously, those castles are beautiful.

@thelobsterlover

Hmm, forgiveness character arcs. There aren’t a lot of well written ones that I’ve read, but The Viking Quest, Broken Bow by LaJoyce Martin, and Ben-Hur (although I highly recommend listening to the Focus on the Family audiobook instead of the actual book) were all good. Sir Kendrick and the Battle of Belion, The Green Ember…[Read more]

Mitchel Kemp was drafted into the military, but he doesn’t want to be here, especially as his father had been killed in combat leaving him his little sister’s legal guardian.

A cream/grey marbled cat, green eyes, wedge shaped face (not unlike a Russian blue’s features), not tall or short or big or small, fur’s not long or short…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

Sounds fun! I’ve never read any dystopian (it tends to be a dark and morbid genre, two things I avoid in literature), but if I ever do I’ll have to look into your book first. Congratulations on The Reflections!

@keilah-h @joy-caroline @elishavet-pidyon

Ooo, y’alls’ characters sound awesome!

(Uh, Elishavet, I was totally seeing William with blond hair blue eyes. The name makes me think Saxon [even though it’s Norman])

So, here is a hopefully brief description of the six main characters for this series (two for each book).

Zlatan (book1); black furred…[Read more]

@lydia-s

Hi, and pleased to meet you!

Persuasion is my absolute favorite J. A. novel. Yes, I like it better than Pride and Prejudice. Ann always seemed to me to have a much stronger true character than Elizabeth. I like her other books, but that one…

@thelobsterlover

Poor Amy! I don’t know why, but every time I think about her artist talent, the foot and plaster incident comes to mind. When I first read LW I was more like Jo, but now I don’t line up with any of them really. *Shrug* Jo’s lines were my favorite part of the book.

Thank you from my former self. She would have been thrilled to…[Read more]

@karissa-chmil

Ooo, that would be awesome! My father has gone overseas as a missionary’s assistant, and I’m heard they’re beautiful.

So, my signature is sort of a joke. Literally translated it means: “I speak English. Glorify God!” (Or thank God as the context here implies).

@karissa-chmil

Ugh, yes. That is one sad thing about being American; we never had much of a medieval age. Of course, we also never had Roman occupation so there is that. =]

Ah yes Emma. (How did I forget about her?) She does become a side MC in the last book. S. D. Smith did a good job with his characters.

Hmm, I think I would also like a…[Read more]
