"You! You can’t just walk in here! This is a crime scene!”

“That would explain the dead bodies, then,” she replied. He blinked dumbly, and she sighed. Wasting good sarcasm was annoying.

Top 5 award winning books

Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 award winning books!!  Now, by no means am I a literary snob (I don’t think any of us are). And sure, winning an award is nice — validating even. But it also doesn’t increase my enjoyment of a book. In fact, as many award winning books are classified as ‘literary fiction’, I don’t tend to read them. I’m definitely more about…

Award Winning Wiley Books 2023

Award-winning books often stand out not just for their literary prowess, but for their ability to resonate deeply with readers across time and cultures. These books, recognized for their exceptional storytelling, compelling characters, and profound themes, transcend mere entertainment to become cultural touchstones. They illuminate facets of the human experience, provoke thought, and inspire empathy. Award-winning literature challenges conventions, expands perspectives, and sometimes even sparks social change.

The Chamber of Radiance - An Illustration from The #DarkFey Trilogy

An illustration of one of the scenes in my Dark Fey Trilogy The Chamber of Radiance sparkled in the morning shower of scintillating light. Its golden walls and polished marble floor of pearlescent white reflected the bright rays of first light in a tumbling wash of glittering glow. Standing in the midst of this illumination upon a gold mirror set into the stone floor, Gairynzvl waited. Before…

Anthony Doerr's All The Light We Cannot See Is So Profoundly Beautiful

All The Light We Cannot See has been making the rounds lately with its Netflix miniseries garnering praise but I can’t help but note one massive downfall with the miniseries, something that pales considerably to the novel, and what makes the novel so mesmerising and compelling. Any guesses? You see, the core of the story is a tale of a blind girl navigating the world while at the very centre of…

Meet the Reviled Fey of the Uunglarda - #DarkFantasy #Characters

After many years of writing The Dark Fey trilogy, I’ve finally be able to visualize the Reviled.  This Dark One’s name is Brahvys.  He’s seen many years as a Dark Fey and has learned to survive, but the anguish he carries is written on his every feature. About Dark Fey Because the Reviled live in the dark realm of the Uunglarda, where all light, water, food, and the very air are tainted with…

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.
