Download or read book Unicorn Dreams written by Amber Stryker and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2023-04-26 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unicorn Dreams is an amusing family saga about the Andros family as seen through the eyes of Edward, its youngest member. He begins his reminiscences in the year 1980 when the sight of so many unicorns on department store shelves causes him to recall his sister-in-law, Alissa, who had a special connection with that heraldic beast. It is the impact of Alissa on various family members which is the backbone of the novel. Whether seen as saint or sinner, no one remains indifferent to Alissa. Among the various family members who are affected by Alissa is Eleanor Andros, matriarch of the clan. She often compares herself to Eleanor of Aquitaine whom, despite what the historians say, she refers to as "that dear saintly queen." There's Arthur, Alissa's husband, eldest son and heir to the family business who deserted the clan with nary a backward glance. Next comes Richard, recluse and malcontent, who especially despises Alissa whom he blames for Arthur's alienation and the subsequent destruction of his dreams of a promising music career. John is the black sheep of the family whose selfish behavior is the biggest thorn in Eleanor's side. Lastly, there's Edward himself, struggling against family opposition and resentment to become a doctor during the difficult Depression years. Besides the immediate family, members of the extended family are also drawn into Alissa's web. There's lovable obese Uncle Theo whose ideas are as outrageous as his thickly Greek-accented English. Eleanor's half brother, Teddy Busby, bon vivant and ladies' man, is attracted by Alissa's lure. While his daughter, Melinda, shares his infatuation, his son, Roderick, is determined to play Mordred in Alissa's Camelot. These are a few of the characters who are woven into the tangled tapestry of the Andros family's life as they struggle together, and sometimes against each other, to survive bootlegging, prohibition, the Depression, World War II, and all the crises which affect everyone throughout a lifetime. Whether laughing together at a family dinner, attending a lavish Elizabethan costume party, or suffering together through the losses of death and divorce, Alissa's influence, for good or bad, is profoundly felt by everyone.

Download or read book So You Want to Be a Hero written by Mangala McNamara and published by Rising Dragon Books. This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Thony’s adventure to find a princess-bride is derailed when he and his friend, Amanita, get stuck in a small town that is on the verge of being overwhelmed by an Evil Wizard and his army. ********************* BackBlurb: Thony’s adventure is not going at all the way he had anticipated. First off, he’s become a unicorn-maiden and is stuck wearing a dress, of all things. Second of all, he’s stuck in a war-zone where an Evil Wizard is assembling an army. And finally, the fairy prince Puck, who had agreed to see Thony and Amanita safely to her faraway homeland has disappeared. To make matters worse, it appears that the Evil Wizard is coming to the dusty little town he and Amanita are sheltering in. It’s beginning to look like the only option that the two of them have is to deal with the situation themselves. But surely just a couple of kids – even accomplished pranksters like Thony and Amanita – can’t possibly accomplish much against an Evil Wizard and his army… …no, that might take three kids. ********************* Teaser: Neither of them noticed the package of trouble hurtling towards them until Amanita was extracting herself from under a jumble of girl, longbow, and brilliantly colored arrows that seemed to have spilled everywhere. “Ooops,” said the new girl without a great deal of regret. She looked up at them with a certain wide-eyed innocence that Thony couldn’t help but feel was a bit of a put-on.. Her leather jerkin was criss-crossed by a shoulder sheathe for a rather long sword, considering her size, that she was trying to untangle from her longbow and quiver. “Don’t you believe in looking where you’re going?” Amanita demanded irritably. “Usually,” the girl replied. “Sometimes. Um... occasionally?” The greasy-seeming horse-dealer from earlier in the morning was also bearing down on them, his face furious. Amanita’s gaze narrowed as she looked between the new girl and the new arrivals. “What’s the matter here?” she demanded. “That girl just released all me stock,” the greasy guy snarled. “She’s goin’ t’pay for this trouble!” Amanita looked over her shoulder. “Did you really do that?” The girl shuffled her feet and looked down – to hide a self-satisfied smirk, Thony rather thought. “Eh... heh-heh-heh-heh-heh,” she chuckled uncomfortably, but didn’t deny it.

Instead, Thony's older sisters had gone off on The Quest and Left Him Behind. In Aldyrwald, of all places. I mean, yeah, it was their home and Thony was Crown Prince and all, but seriously? Aldyrwald was the boringest, most insignificant place in the world. In any world. And Thony's efforts to “liven things up a little” are always so completely underappreciated. Things start looking up with the arrival of Amanita, a mysterious foreign girl who also likes to play pranks, but refuses to share anything about her past. Befriending her – and saving her from the consequences of her own hot temper – somehow lead to Thony getting treated as more than just a boy. But now his entirely unmysterious parents, Queen Annabel and King Bill, are acting like there's some Deep Dark Secret... ...and that it has something to do with Thony...

It wasn’t real. Someone was trying to rattle me.” The sergeant grunted. “I don’t suppose you were able to apprehend the culprit?” Fayorn flushed. “I most certainly did.” The sergeant entered the room and emerged moments later with a ‘rat’ in each of his massive paws. Thony and Dae, held in place by the scruffs of their collars. Thony looked chagrined; Dae, indignant. “Children?” Sergeant Sterevor said in amusement. “Go back to bed, sir. I’ll take care of this little rodent problem.” Captain Fayorn glared back at him, then stalked past and went back in his room, slamming the door behind him. The sergeant chuckled, letting go of his captives, but turning them so they both had to face him. “So, you’re the scoundrels who disturbed Captain Fayorn’s beauty sleep.” “Yup!” Dae said proudly. Thony groaned. “Hunh.” Sergeant Sterevor shooed the pair of them back down the corridor. They passed within inches of the darkened doorway where Amanita stood frozen.
