The Rayne project is a sci-fi, dystopian superhuman novel about Rayne.

Read MoreSilver the Snow Fairy: The Christmas Window by Jessie Best (Book Review #832)
Silver, the snow fairy, is a children’s book written about Silver’s journey looking for her magical silver bell. She needs it in time for Christmas, and the elves have stolen it. Silver, her silvery-white unicorn named Wonder, and Winn, the wolf cub, search hard, looking for the bell. On the way, they discover an 8-year-old girl named Sabrina, who has lost her father. Silver chooses to forget about her trouble and helps the little girl instead. Her journey allows her to also discover a few little Christmas magic as well.
The book has a few black and white illustrations. This added to the enjoyment of the story. Silver is brave, and her personality was likable. The content definitely reminisced the Christmas feeling of celebration and giving. Literature that brings joy and also educates young ones are always my kind of ideal children’s books. I appreciated how the author managed to allow the reader to connect with the essential spirit.
I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good Christmas gift for their child.

Read MoreA few words by Kevin Doyle
The other day, I managed to do something I hadn’t accomplished for years.
I wrote a short story.
Okay, a little background here. When I first began writing fiction (a long, long time ago), I started with short stories and pretty much intended to end there. Mainly in the horror genre, I churned out dozens, one or two of them were even kind of good. Back in those days, the biggest market for short fiction was the “little magazines,” so designated by Writer’s Digest. They were magazines with circulations of only a few thousand, some with circulation in the hundreds, often printed out on second-hand copiers in the publisher’s basement after they came home from working their nine-to-five day jobs.
