The bus finally came to a halt, marking the end of the journey. Passengers began to disembark into the starry Nogales night. The town, which until the 20th century had been bustling with the incessant comings and goings of people and commercial activities along the border, had suffered from the wall built at the beginning of the 21st century. Little by little, trade between the two countries dried up. Nogales no longer had a wall, but now seemed frozen in time, deserted by its population. The narrow streets were still lined with faded Hispanic buildings, bearing witness to a rich past that had disappeared with the inhabitants. Wrought-iron signs, tarnished by years of neglect, still retained a certain elegance. But the cobbled alleyways were overgrown, offering sleepy settings where mosaic fountains dried under the starry sky. A handful of stores were still open, offering steaming beers and tamales to the hungry, filling the air with the delicious scents of Mexican cuisine. Everywhere else, darkness had enveloped the city, home to nothing but ghosts. Mexicans, like Liang, waited patiently on the sidewalk, chatting quietly amongst themselves, overcome by the ghostly atmosphere of the city. The city, despite its abandonment, retained a certain aura, a testimony to the richness of its past and the perseverance of those who had remained. As Liang scanned the horizon in search of a hypothetical means of transport to the north, he joined the few travelers continuing northwards, cautiously observing their surroundings. The starry sky offered a mystical glow to this abandoned city. The others told Liang that there might be a means of transport coming in the morning. The others thought it would take a day or two. As the hours passed, Liang's patience was tested, but he was used to it. His whole life had been a story of patience, of waiting for trains, of customers disappearing into thin air. Finally, just as the first rays of sunlight were beginning to peek over the horizon, a filthy truck arrived. Its rear platform was devoid of safety barriers. It was the only vehicle available for transport to the northern lands. Liang didn't hesitate and climbed aboard, among the other passengers eager to leave Nogales behind. The road that took them to Tucson and on to Phoenix was a journey through the desolate, silent landscape of a world in ruins. The military bases that once dotted this strategic route were now obliterated. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Navy FST, Goldwater Air National Guard, JFHQ AZNG, Papago Park, Luke Air Force, Camp Navajo, all these military installations had been reduced to rubble and ashes. The territory was a vast field of ashes that flew under the truck's tires. The road was cluttered with abandoned vehicles, or the last homes of people surprised by the nuclear fire. Liang could make out the skeletons in the cars. No one had ever taken them out. The United States of America was no more. A pestilential stench invaded the nostrils of travelers. Liang tied a scarf around his face to protect himself a little from the cloud of ash flying around him. Even as day broke, the landscape was plunged into the semi-darkness of nuclear winter. There had been no electricity in the United States since World War III devastated the country. The ruined buildings were abandoned. Only the shadows of a bygone past seemed to haunt the place. Liang knew that the area was overrun with grieving souls, minds baffled by the violence of their deaths. Silence reigned supreme over this ravaged land, but Liang silently prayed that the souls haunting the place would not torment him.

I’m a bit behind talking about books I’ve read. I purchased this on impulse: the description of a code based historical adventure set in the 1920s, starring a strong female character, sounded right up my alley. And I wasn’t disappointed! It almost feels like @jennyeldermoke has written the story we librarians have been waiting for: a story about the Rachel Weisz character from The Mummy, without her playing second fiddle to a male hero. (With all respect to Brendan Fraser.) The adventure stuff is exciting, but doesn’t overwhelm the character stuff, and there’s just enough supernatural stuff to spice it all up. The second book comes out next summer, and I will definitely be reading that when it comes out. #thismakesmehappy #books #2021reading #curseofthespecterqueen #jennyeldermoke #yafiction #adventurefiction #historicalfiction #disneybooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CSzausqFiLL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Is Liang returning with "The Maiden of Lôgar"?
Tumblr media
Santa Clarita, California - The literary world is abuzz with rumors of the return of famed adventure fiction writer, William Kergroach, known for his thrilling and enigmatic stories that have captivated readers for generations. According to Tim Gobi, Senior Producer of Gobi Entertainment Production, Kergroach is set to make a triumphant comeback with a new installment in his popular "New Sulk Road" series, featuring his dynamic protagonist, Liang.
The legend of Liang began with "Silly Sluts to Chongqing," where he made his daring debut as a courier for the notorious triads. Over the course of multiple novels and stories, he met a dramatic end in "Sex Clones" or perhaps it was in "Tha Lagoon Pooper" where he found a semblance of peace, serving the enigmatic "Cold Asshole." However, it seems that Liang's journey is far from over, as he resurfaces in Kergroach's latest work, "The Maiden of Lôgar."
The novel opens with Liang lying on a worn-out mattress in a dingy room, surrounded by two nonchalant prostitutes from his impoverished hometown in the mountains of Guanzhou. Despite not having returned home in two decades, these women bring him news of his village and a sense of nostalgia. The room itself is a microcosm of Chongqing's bustling streets - a place where life's diverse and dissolute characters find refuge and solace.
Liang's escapades have taken him to every corner of the globe, transporting contraband, precious stones, and even uranium, all under the employ of Cao, a lieutenant of the infamous Liu Han, one of Sichuan's most powerful crime bosses. His daring feats have earned him both notoriety and admiration, even among the locals who hold steadfastly to their neighborhood.
"The Maiden of Lôgar" promises to be yet another action-packed journey through the mysterious world of Liang, where danger lurks at every turn. As Kergroach weaves his signature blend of adventure and intrigue, readers will be transported to the heart of China, where tradition meets modernity, and where Liang's cunning and resourcefulness will be put to the ultimate test.
For years, fans of Kergroach have marveled at his ability to create vivid and immersive narratives that blur the lines between reality and fiction. With this new release, it is clear that Kergroach's literary prowess remains unparalleled, drawing readers into worlds they never thought possible.
However, amidst all the excitement surrounding Kergroach's return, questions still linger about his elusiveness from mainstream media and his apparent connection to intelligence services. Some speculate that his fervent opposition to the New World Order and his unyielding commitment to a multipolar world may have hindered his prominence in traditional media outlets. Others simply attribute it to Kergroach's preference for privacy and independence, allowing his work to speak for itself.
As we eagerly await the release of "The Maiden of Lôgar," one thing is certain: the return of William Kergroach and the reappearance of Liang are cause for celebration among fans, old and new. Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure through the eyes of Liang, the courageous courier, as he navigates the intricate web of intrigue and danger in Kergroach's latest masterpiece.
Stay tuned for more updates on the release of "The Maiden of Lôgar" and explore William Kergroach's fascinating literary world filled with mystery, adventure, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.

Until I started writing with the hope of becoming published, I hadn’t realized how much revision goes into writing a book. Anything from small edits, adding/deleting scenes, to changing plot points that alter the entire story. It’s a lot of work and a time-consuming process as even the smallest changes can result in alterations throughout the rest of the book. But it’s also very satisfying to read through the changes later and see how they have improved the story. After I finished the first draft of book 2, I took a month away from it so I could read it with fresh eyes. That “reread” has turned into an entire rewrite of the book. It’s exciting to see the story change and improve and it’s also made me wonder what the original drafts of my favourite books were like. Were the plots in the original drafts of The Hobbit or Pride and Prejudice completely different from the final books that were published? If anyone knows of some Tolkien original drafts, let me know! ••• #author #bookstagram #fiction #fictionseries #adventurefiction #womensfiction #writerslife #reader #writerscommunity #authorssupportingauthors #bookworm #readersofinstagram #novelseries #bookstagrammer #romance #creativity #writemore #canadianauthor #albertawriter #thoughts #creativewriting #bookaddict #historicalnovel #romancereads #litfic #literature #draft #revising #revision (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPOakOOtMJl/?utm_medium=tumblr
