READING & WRITING…NO ARITHMETIC!

karenringalls10 Comments

I have always loved to read books, sometimes more than once. I love to write which covers a wide range from articles to novels to blogs. However, there is no love for arithmetic, and I only do it when absolutely necessary.

Today, I am sharing about two books I have recently read, which deserve the 5 star reviews I wrote. 
The first one is Eternal Road by John Howell.
"This book combines death, history, geography, and romance all into one amazing story. James and Samantha travel through time witnessing historical events and meeting historical people. There are lessons and choices for each of them as they travel together. Romance is renewed after many years of being apart due to Samantha's untimely murder.
A favorite part is when Samantha's murderer pays for his crime which she witnesses. Her murder scene is described in a way that affected me deeply, so allowing Samantha to see his "just rewards" was good for me, the reader.
I highly recommend this book, which will give the reader a lot to think about." https://www.amazon.com/Eternal-Road-John-W-Howell-ebook/dp/B08GL135KQ

Comes This Time to Float: 19 Short Stories, by Stephen Geez is a masterpiece of human behavior. There are stories about everyday life, challenges, disappointments, families, social issues. 
My review: In each of the nineteen short stories is a description of everyday life. Mr. Geez's creative writing style brings extra joy in reading this collection. As I read each story, I thought "this is my favorite", but all 19 stories were my favorites. This is a must-read book. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0846WY2HZ/

Each of these books are available on Amazon. I invite you to buy, read, and review them. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you for stopping by and reading this blog.

WHEN I RISE: TALES, TRUTHS, and SYMBOLIC TREES

karenringalls6 Comments

I am announcing my newest book which is a series of twelve short stories. Each tale is about a health, social, personal, or family issue. There is a truth and the symbolism of a tree associated with each tale.

One might ask why are trees included. The title comes from a poem written by my grandson, which is inspirational, meaningful, and thought-provoking. The first sentence is: Songs being sung outside in the trees… sets the tone of the book.

I have always loved trees, flowers, animals, and nature in general. When I am near an oak tree I feel its strength, a willow gives me comfort, aspens convey adventure, and pines bring me joy.

REVIEWS:

D. L. FINN writes A heartfelt and meaningful book that offers truth with hope and brings in one of my favorite things, trees. I highly recommend this, especially if you enjoy a positive outlook in dark times.

FIZA PATHAN states This book will let you know the magic of trees & how we must persevere in spite of all the odds against us, to achieve everlasting bliss, like the eternal trees themselves.

I appreciate your support and interest in my books. I give all proceeds from the books to ovarian cancer research. I am an 11-year survivor of this cancer and my life is dedicated to helping bring awareness and fund research. Thank you.
