![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve never yet had my fill of Lynn Kurland stories Ha! I’m always already looking forward to the next as soon as I close the current book’s cover!Conversely,I’ve walked out of the House of Mouse frequently without intending to return (but I always do anyway □). I guess I somehow got removed from the newsletter list, since I haven’t received anything in longer than a year, so I signed up again… Can’t bear the thought of missing anything important again, especially for 2 MONTHS!!! (FOMO never really affects me except in regards to your books Those, to me, are better than a weekend at Disneyland,and obviously much, much,much less expensive! There’s also the added benefit that I’ve never yet felt let down or disappointed at the end of your stories, and I can’t say that about the Magic Kingdom. And here it is, almost October (!),and I only just discovered that you’ve recently posted something new! So pleased to hear that you are doing well and staying positive □ ![]()

As they leave, the Devil gives Faust a small gift box. Mephistopheles reenters and tells Faust that he sees the girl returning to her room. He admits to himself that he came “to seize the crassest pleasure” but now he is overcome by “dreams of love!” The bed, he imagines, is where Nature shaped the girl and “wrought the semblance of divinity.” Faust is critical of himself and his own motives. He lifts the curtain over the bed and becomes even more enraptured. He tells his image of the girl that he feels “the whisper of your spirit.” The entire cottage, because she is in it, is “doglike” to him. Faust, collapsing in a chair next to the girl’s bed, begins to wax poetic about his love and lust for the girl. Faust wants Mephistopheles to leave him alone, so the latter exits.

One of the most popular female sleuths in modern crime fiction was born of her creator's desire for equality for a fictional woman gumshoe. So there I am doing stuff that's disgusting, time wasting and absurd just because anything is better than facing that screen."

Holmberg Star Mother Series 2 primary works 2 total works Book 1 Star Mother by Charlie N. Holmberg’s worldbuilding is unique but rushed, encompassing gods, galaxies, love affairs, and epic warfare in a short span of pages. In the world she creates, the Earth is much like ours but without the technology, and humans worship a Sun god. Sought by gods and mortals alike, Ceris finds herself caught in the middle of the eternal war between Sun and Moon and goes on the run with a mysterious man named Ristriel. Holmberg follows up her Spellbreaker duology with a new fantasy series, which kicks off with STAR MOTHER. She attempts to return to her family on Earth, but discovers that 700 years have passed during her time with Sun. Unloved by her betrothed, Ceris volunteers to be the one to lay with Sun and birth a star-though she knows star mothers die in the process of giving birth. When the torch is lit above the church in Ceris Wenden’s village, it signals that a star has died, and the Sun seeks a vessel to birth another star child. A woman tries to find her place in the cosmos in this jam-packed celestial fantasy from Holmberg ( Spellmaker). ![]() ![]() ![]() Indeed, 2021 alone has seen the end of several epic and outstanding literary trilogies. ![]() There are some truly amazing trilogies out there, from the classics, like The Lord of the Rings, to some recent trilogies that I have been deeply enjoying. ![]() Trilogies in literature are a long-running and deeply fun tradition that packs an epic connected tale, into three consecutive novels.
