Book Description

What if you could escape all your problems to live in a beautiful virtual world where life is just a game? This is exactly what Christine does when she “moves to” Mirror Mountain. After suffering impossible losses, Christine surrenders her real life and even her memories to plug in full-time to an immersive virtual world. The rules here are simple: gain currency, build the most beautiful house you can, and try to win a prestigious award which will allow your incredible dream home to be “dragon-proofed,” safe forever from the randomized attacks of the great dragon Cipher. Whenever the dragon comes along, houses crumble to dust. The owners are left behind to roam the virtual world as disconnected, bodiless spirits. If Christine can make her house worthy of being dragon-proofed, maybe that strange, ghostly little boy will stop haunting the edges of her vision. Maybe she can finally shake free of whatever past she’s tried to bury and live happily ever after. The only catch is that the award is voted on by the elite previous winners, and their tastes are… extremely particular. Christine wants this award more than anything, but in order to make her house appealing to the winners, she will have to sacrifice everything she finds appealing about it herself. In the meantime, the ghost from her past keeps trying to tell her something—something urgent about the life she left behind and the world she has embraced. Can she face her fears of it for long enough to listen? The Dragon-Proofed House is Book 3 of the Torn Curtain Series. If you like science-fi with psychological depth, talking dragons, and fantastical settings, you will love this story by L.E. Henderson. Download this story today.

She escaped slavery. But freedom will be more difficult than she can imagine. As the runt of her litter Mitalla—a member of a feline species—has always survived through her cunning. It was through cunning that she escaped a brutal slave camp alive, even after all her siblings perished. Now, she dreams of building a free life in a new city where she can put her past behind her. But everywhere she looks, her species is viewed as dangerous and inferior. With no safe place to hide, she ends up working as a thief for the dark mage Sebastian, who has illegal feline slaves of his own: a mother and her young daughter who become her new friends. Being forced to rob houses is bad enough. But watching Sebastian mistreat her new housemates is the worst torture of all. Once again Mitalla feels enslaved. But during her darkest hour, she glimpses a path to hope. She learns about a sacred journal, one whose secrets have the power to topple the king and end his cruel policy of feline enslavement once and for all. But to liberate her new friends and her species, she must find the journal. Risking her life by defying Sebastian, she embarks on a dangerous quest for power.

Book Description

Writing is hard. Some writers believe they need a magical mindset. Others believe you must force yourself to write. Such pressures cause pointless suffering. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom proposes a more playful and forgiving approach. “Trail” tracks the creative recovery of the author, who—right after a manic episode—becomes creatively numb and plunges into a depression. Desperately blocked, she longs to re-experience the creative rush of writing her first novel and imagines a trail leading back to it. "More than anything,” she writes, “I wanted to go back. Back to the time before my episode when the ideas had flowed freely. I needed a road, a path, a map. Anything would have been welcome." To go back to the state of inspiration she remembers, the author probes the nature and source of creativity. Slowly and painfully, the author rediscovers her love for writing and the fun of creative exploration. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom is part autobiography, part inspiration, and part how-to. If you struggle with block, follow this trail of crumbs through the forest to reach the light of creative freedom. Pick up this book today and get started.
