There was an old woman who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
She fed them all broth without any bread;
Then whipped them all soundly and sent them to bed.
~Mother Goose, The Dorling Kindersley Book of Nursery Rhymes (2000)
She took them from the woods, and she took them from dells, from hamlets and homesteads and across the wide world, she found young orphans, those abandoned and left on their own, and gave them a home.
And all she asked for was a little piece of their soul in payment…
Whoever said nursery rhymes were harmless?

Fantastic addition to the Never Land universeAnother great twist on a classic fairy tale. Ms. Lawrencovna is excellent at writing complicated, interesting characters who you learn to love (or love to hate).

Beautiful story of life

February 24, 2017

Format: Paperback
I love this book. I am not typically satisfied with novellas, but this one was lovely. The words wrapped me in warmth and I felt as if I was there. It was more than a series of stories, but a homecoming. If you are looking for something to restore you, this is the book.

MEET LILITH A TIMEKEEPER -LEGEND OF THE TIME KEEPERS SHARON LEDWITH

LEGEND OF THE TIMEKEEPERS.jpgDecorative elements and ornamentslegendofthetimekeepers-500.jpg An ancient world come to life

August 14, 2015

Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase

Reading LEGEND OF THE TIMEKEEPERS felt like stepping into an ancient world of legend with Atlantean and Egyptian gods come to life. The details were very interesting, and I connected with the main character Lilith right away. This magical tale has a historical fantasy feel, and young readers will recognize names from their world history books, like Ra and Poseidon. I’m giving this book 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5. Recommended for ages 10 and up.

“Why are you here?” Lilith asked. “You’ve already got your life seal.”

“I have more questions for Istulo.” She continued to stare at the disk.

Lilith sighed. “My name is Lilith. What’s your name?”

Her shoulders relaxed slightly. A hint of a smile broke out on her face. Her upturned nose wiggled. “She-Aba. I was born here in the…

ITS ALL FUN AND GAMES AT A REUNION TIL SOMEONE SHOWS UP DEAD…AGAIN SUSAN LYNN SOLOMON

Nothing gets past a descendant of Sarah Goode!!
BySandra Vattimoon September 9, 2017
Format: Kindle Edition
This is the second book in the Emlyn Goode Mystery series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but why miss out on the excitement of the first book?

I love Emyln’s thought process. Her imagination tends to run away from her at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, she tends to meander down dark roads into the terrifying abyss. She’s lucky to have her friend Rebecca and her unusual feline, Elvira, to help bring her back to reality.

In this story, fates are tempted and the past has returned to haunt the residents of The Falls. More murders. Are these cases tied to an unsolved murder from 42 years ago? How can Emlyn figure out what happened before she was even born?

I love the excitement and adventure found in this…
