A Prophecy, a 14yr old asthmatic boy, and a throne in dispute. The air has always spoken to Jaime, whispers and warnings: ‘run, run, run’. When he finds and touches the sigil of the Air Element and inadvertently sets off a banestorm we learn that which Jaime does not yet know, let alone accept: he is an Air Sage, the prophesy was written about him. He is the long lost son of the Fire King and he must duel to the death his own father to save the Four Kingdoms. We follow Jaime

Dystopian books can be maddening to read, entertaining or something in between. This book is scary in its portrayal of Christian conservatism taken to the extreme through the leadership of EJ Conrad and his followers, the Armageddon Brigade. It could easily be ripped from the headlines today. Is this what people have in mind when they cry out ‘there’s going to be a civil war’? Is this a portrayal of what our future could hold because of extremism? All in the name of God? I fo

How many children’s books can you say are enjoyed by young and old alike? This is one such book. I’ve read this book many times to a 2yr old, a 4 yr old and a 12 yr old all of whom enjoyed it for different reasons. The sing song language, the silly faces, the introduction to musical notes and symbols. Brittany Lee writes: ‘Learning to express yourself is such a wonderful thing. When you put it to the sound of music your emotions really sing.’ It’s a lovely summary of how impo

I was predisposed to like this book: Sci-Fi and young adult? Love it! I find that Sci-Fi authors have some interesting ideas about what our future holds from a technological and sociological standpoint. Here we have young people taking on mature roles at a young age in space and then forced to scale that back when their spaceship crash lands on earth. Can they adapt to the High School rules, cliques and sometimes shallow society that is current earth? The prejudice displayed

I enjoy post apocalyptic stories. How does civilization as we know it end? Plague? War? Climate catastrophe? How does civilization as the survivors… survive? This is a fast paced classic apocalyptic story with an interesting twist that I look forward to reading about in subsequent books. John and JT are out 4x4ing on the Rubicon when an EMP occurs knocking out all electronics including those in vehicles. Because John and JT are preppers and ex-military no only does their jeep

Where does fact end and fiction begin? Are we alone on the planet? Does the Bible record visits from ET? What is our life purpose? This book explores some very heady subjects through the fictional tale of Louis Silvani, an architect in the Air Force, who discovers a secret cryogenic laboratory in a federal facility which houses extraterrestrials and is forever changed by his discovery. Louis, now a civilian, launches a second career as a researcher and lecturer on ‘interterre

So, I guess an introduction is probably in order. My name is Clay Conner and I’m your average everyday writer. Except, that’s probably not exactly true. Before I donned my writer’s hat, I spent about a decade and a half as a hip hop musician. I’m assuming I’m not the only rapper turned author on the planet, but I’m also assuming there aren’t many. I’ve always had a bit of a way with words, whether spoken or written. In fact, I believe the small amount of success I enjoyed as

As a writer in the early stage of my authorpreneurship, I cannot stress enough how important it is to have as many eyes on my manuscript as possible. From critiquers to beta readers to book reviewers, each person provides a unique perspective in the writer's journey. Having a critique team is important to flush out my work as it progresses from chapter to chapter, but once the first draft has been written and polished by an editor, then the beta reader and reviewer comes into

Saint Merle indeed. Clay Conner has created a lovable good-hearted goofball in Merle who is just trying to find his way in life. I liked...

What an emotional book this was. I would recommend readers have a box of tissues handy while reading this book, you'll need them. I was...
