Book excerpt: When Elias of Elderberry introduces his best friend Jaron Finley to his magical world of fairies and castles, wizards and yokai shape-shifters, will Jaron ever want to go back to his dull world of school and homework, especially after meeting Elieli, the fairy princess of Estraelia? It's doubtful, but he must-the mortal that he is. Will Elias have to alter his memory and erase all that his friend has seen, or will Jaron be able to keep the secret that Elias Rey-a sophomore at PVHS, is a wizard and the youngest heir of Elderberry? Held captive by evil wraiths in the dungeons of Sirusas, Elias's older brother Saulen struggles with remembering who he is. How will the sons of Elderberry battle the dark forces of sorcery and rescue him? And finally, when Adalee trips and falls by a nest abandoned from a Swypht Dragon of Ural, she takes an egg, knowing it has little chance to survive on its own. How will she keep it hidden in the non-dragon fairy kingdom of Estraelia? And why should she? Elias of Elderberry is a truly marvelous book! The action, concept, and mysteries contained in this novel are intensely compelling and exciting. Not satisfied with simply writing an entertaining story, Sneed fills the pages with lessons about temptation, addiction, and the morals of right versus wrong. - R.L. Drembic The Sons of Elderberry! Book One, Elias of Elderberry, was fantastic! I am eager to read the continuing sequels. Do any of us really know who we are and what our real worth is? Fifteen-year-old Elias was soon to discover things beyond his wildest imagination. This is about present day with regular school attendance, yet also, time travel with castles, dungeons, dragons and more! There were many characters well-defined and realistic. Also, the scenes were portrayed very well so the reader was able to easily picture them occurring. My Review of this book offers a Five Stars rating. - LAWonder10

Book excerpt: When Elias introduces his best friend Jaron Finley to his magical world of fairies, castles, wizards, and yōkai shapeshifters, will Jaron ever want to go back to his dull world of school and homework, especially after meeting Elieli, the fairy princess of Estraelia?

Will Elias alter his memory and erase all that his friend has seen, or will Jaron keep the secret that Elias Rey, a sophomore at PVHS, is a wizard, and the youngest heir of Elderberry? Sneed wove a beautifully complex story about elves, fairies, dragons, and wizards in her second in her series of wonderfully crafted epic fantasy. If you love stories that take you to other worlds, you'll appreciate Sneed's ability to world build and create meaningful characters. Two worlds collide when Elias takes his friend to his native land of Estraelia, but conflict is not far away when the beautiful Elieli makes a wish to come to Earth with her new Earth friends, putting them all in danger. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for a review, but it was still fun to read! -Zeigler

My Review of this book offers a Five Stars rating. - LAWonder10 Elias of Elderberry was action packed and a fast-paced read. There was a plethora of different species. I’m amazed by the world the author created and all the different creatures. I enjoyed getting to know Elias and his friends and family. I laughed at some of the antics of the characters. I found Elias to be a typical teenager, dealing with the normal teenage woes. I loved the solutions he came up with for problems. - TNT Reviews Elias of Elderberry is a good read. Not only is it good fantasy, but the characters seem very real as they grasp with the choices of good vs. evil, power vs. the greater good of mankind. The characters are memorable, especially Elias. The dilemmas he faces, while fantasy, can parallel situations in modern life, such as addictions which may take courage to overcome, the struggle with selfishness, etc. It was both a fun read and insightful. -Azguy I look forward to more from this author. It was well-written and I could identify with the characters and their circumstances, which probably makes me weird since this is High Fantasy (fairies, etc.) urban style. I look forward to more from this author. She kept it clean. - Meesha

Download or read book Facing Mortality written by Theresa Sneed and published by Author Theresa Sneed. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: par·a·nor·mal adj. Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. I was only nine years old when I had my first experience with the paranormal—definitely beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. I was only nine years old when I had my first experience with the paranormal—definitely beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation. –Theresa Sneed When author Theresa Sneed finds herself in the ICU with a condition her doctor would later reveal most people die from, she sets about pulling old files together to explain her unique beliefs based on her personal experiences. FACING MORTALITY was written while in the hospital recovering from deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Throughout her life, Theresa has had some incredible experiences with the spirit world that would later drive her to write her NO ANGEL series and many of her other works. Theresa Sneed has written an amazing memoir of a lifetime’s worth of spiritual and paranormal experiences that have so profoundly strengthened her faith and her connection to the Savior, Jesus Christ. In this book, she carefully walks the reader through each positive experience, gently and quietly, as if the Savior himself is guiding you along the way. It opens your mind and heart to the vastness of our existence and the wonders of eternity. She boldly included some of the evil encounters from Satan, which she’s had as well. People need to know they are challenged by the adversary and can learn to recognize his ways and distinguish them from God’s ways. The flood of positive spiritual experiences throughout the book are evidence enough of God's love. The balance helps put into perspective the severity of the fight and exactly where we must look to endure. I highly recommend Facing Mortality to anyone interested in paranormal encounters of the most spiritual kind. ~Nanette O’Neal

Its harsh but spectacularly beautiful terrain supports many varieties of animals but few people. They are Cro-Magnons - the first anatomically modern people - and Neanderthals, the other race with whom we shared that cold, ancient land. Ayla is a Cro-Magnon child who lost her parents in an earthquake and was adopted by a tribe of Neanderthal, the Clan. The Clan's wary suspicion was gradually transformed into acceptance of this girl, so different from them, under the guidance of its medicine woman Iza and its wise holy man Creb. But Broud, the Clan's future leader, becomes an implacable enemy, and causes her exile. Forced into dangerous isolation, she eventually finds her soul mate and fellow Cro-Magnon, Jondalar. Their epic journey across Europe is complete and Ayla and Jondalar join his people in the region now known as south-west France. Settling into the rhythm of life in the Ninth Cave, the couple find much pleasure in their baby daughter and in being reunited with friends and family. Ayla plays a vital role in the area of healing: her knowledge of plants and herbs, gleaned from her days with the Clan, strike awe in her new tribe. They are also both impressed by and wary of her uncanny affinity with long-time companions, the mare Whinney and Wolf. But, torn between her desire to concentrate on her new child and the rigours of her training as a Zelandoni acolyte, Ayla finds her relationship with Jondalar moving into stormy waters. Can she manage to balance her sense of destiny with her heart?
