They surveyed the mess in dismay. There was paint everywhere- splashed on the walls, swirling on the floor, running in sluggish rivulets down the marble steps. Nobody leaned over the railing of the balcony and spotted the paint bucket lying in the corner far below. “Somebody should clean that up.”
Somebody stiffened. “Everybody should help! I…[Read more]

@Daeus – What genre is it?

I will. 🙂

Tonight I was telling my little brother Bible stories, and he asked me to tell him Fiery Daniel. I told him that I didn’t know that story, so he informed me that it was a “very New Testament story.” Then he told it to me, and it was hilarious. I guess he got his Bible stories mixed up. Here it is:
“Daniel came to the prison where Peter was, and…[Read more]

Taken from The Unwritten Adventures of X and Y
“You’re crazy.”
“No– just desperate.”
“Really? I couldn’t tell.”
“Can you think of a better way to escape?”
Y eyed his comrade in espionage with disgust. “But– through the torpedo tube? You can’t be serious.”
“We can’t risk capture, and that’s exactly what will happen if we don’t get off this…[Read more]

Thanks, Daeus and Ivy Rose!

@ivy-rose What exactly are plug-ins?

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to explain all of that to me, @daeus! I’ve heard a lot about self publishing, but I never really understood how it works. It sounds like I need to have several books already written before I start.

Thank you so much, @rolena-hatfield and @daeus! Now I have two questions. How do you market/advertise your book? And what is the difference between a e-book realtor and an e-book publisher?
Oh, and another thing. I’m not an artist. If I self-publish a book, how do I get the cover designed?

Oh, yay! Thank you.

@spradlin– Thank you so much! I will do that.

@spradlin– Thanks for getting back to me. The only reason I asked was that my parents don’t like me going on sites that have ads, and I was afraid I wouldn’t be allowed to go on here anymore. But that isn’t the case, thankfully. Every once in a while, the big ad along the side of the forum is inappropriate, but I totally understand if you need to…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum, Anna! It’s so cool that you are from Australia! I’m a new writer, too, and I’ve learned a lot here. 🙂

@daeus– That sounds intriguing. What book is it?

@bluejay– Wow,that sounds like a book my brother would enjoy. I’ll try to find it. Is book 5 the last book? If so, the ending is really sad. Well, that is if you’ve read The Young Underground. It’s only a little sad if you haven’t.

@daeus– That does sound interesting. I’ll have to look for it.

@bluejay– I’ve read the Promise of Zion series, too! I forgot to mention them. Carry On, Mr. Bowditch sounds familiar. What is it about?

@daeus– Thank you! I will look for them. What is The Hidden Hand about?

@kate-flournoy – I don’t know Haggard’s motives, but he wrote like a person who was prejudiced. It’s more noticeable in King Solomon’s…[Read more]

In Freedom’s Cause, by Henty.
Michael Strogoff, by Jules Verne.
Within the Palace Gates. It’s about Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the temple. I don’t remember the author.
Twice Freed; it’s about Onesimus.

Does anyone know of a good story about the Scottish Covenanters? I really enjoy reading about them, but Hunted and Harried is the only…[Read more]

Historical fiction is my favorite genre, too. 🙂
The Zion Covenant series, The Zion Chronicles series, and the Galway Chronicles, all by Bodie Thoene. The first series has a little too much romance in it for my liking, but otherwise it’s great.
The Young Underground, by Robert Elmer.
Hunted and Harried, by R. M. Ballantine.
Lysbeth, by R. H.…[Read more]
