Notable Quotables from
Conquergood & the Center of
the Intelligible Mystery of Being
by CG Fewston
“Time is but a dream of the near and of the deep.”
*****
“Sorrows are for the babes.”
*****
“Knowledge can distort truth,” he says. “At the time we don’t know it’s happening, or even if it does or will, but it does without us having to know. Ignorance has a sort of power, too. What others know about you or about me isn’t everything there is to know. It isn’t truth. It can’t be. I don’t need to know anything more about you. I don’t care to know.”
*****
“The here and the now, the beginning and the end, Korporate Kontrol demands supreme allegiance and absolute power.”
*****
“What truly frightens him now is that one day he would be unable to trust his own thoughts. Conquergood needs to find his twin brother. Yes, he needs to find his twin. Then and only then would Conquergood be able to find his truth
*****
“It is far better to remain silent, to the bite the tongue, than to assert individuality. One is the Korporation or one is none. We are all or we are nothing. Such is the Korporate Path.”
*****
“Blind, but with holy power, he can understand the weakness found in humanity, and such truth finds its way upon his own fractured soul. His thighs tighten but remain flexible and ready for the great push that is to come.”
*****
“We all tend to forget from time to time,” says Godse, taking the empty chair beside the stand where the book rests closed and drained but ready to be filled again. “But in forgetting we are allowed the ability to remember. And in recollection a brighter joy may spring within us, nourishing that which needs to be nourished, no?”

Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles: Sneak Peak and Giveaway
A CHANCE OF A GHOST
BOOK INFO:
A Chance of a Ghost by RC & JP Carter
Cozy Mystery
Coming April 2024.
BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Danny & Maria have moved their young family from Tampa, Florida to the outskirts of Magnolia Bluff, Texas. They have spent the last year and a half renovating an old Victorian mansion. It had been abandoned for years and needed a lot of work. Now, most of the work is done. During renovations they would hear things go bump in the night. Floorboards would creak. Sometimes, tools would be found in very odd places. They did not think much of that until their son woke up screaming for them in the middle of the night. He had seen a shadowy man at the foot of his bed. Danny immediately called his cousin Mike in Tampa.
Mike and his wife Maureen are paranormal investigators with Tampa Bay Spirits. As soon as they got the call, they packed up their car and headed west. While enroute to Magnolia Bluff, Maureen sees in her mind’s eye a shadowy figure walking through the house. The closer they get to Magnolia Bluff, the stronger Mike feels someone in Magnolia Bluff will be murdered.
Is Mike’s premonition correct? Is there a shadowy figure walking through the mansion? Who is the shadowy figure? Why is he there? Who is in danger? What else will the team discover during their visit in peaceful Magnolia Bluff?
Several years ago, Rob & Joan Carter published their first book BIOPRINTS. The series follows Ryan O’Rourke, an Insurance Fraud Investigator, and his team as they work to solve the murder of Ryan’s best friend. This novel involves the black-market trafficking of 3D printed human body parts. FLASH ZOMBIES and the award-winning novel CLONE DRONES are books 2 and 3 in the series. They are also researching the Phoenician Era during the time Jezebel was born which will eventually become a book. Currently, in addition to their entry in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles Series, they are working on a book about their family adventures, of which there have been many. Rob & Joan also started the author promotion service INDIE BOOK SOURCE and host the weekly podcast series MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast. They have 6 children,14 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter, all of which keeps them very busy.

Courting Miss Emma: Review and Giveaway
Rip the Sky: Spotlight and Giveaway!
After a shocking courtroom tragedy, a disturbed Vietnam veteran and the vindictive judge who sent him to prison become an unlikely pair of time travelers in a chaotic multiverse. The fallen angel who rescues them wants to guide them to a radiant new life. But first they must return to the scene of a ghastly crime.
Billy Worster was a naïve teenager ill-prepared for the gruesome realities of war. The sole survivor of a deadly massacre in a Vietnamese jungle, he avoided certain death only because he ran away when the shooting started. Riddled with guilt, he comes home to a dusty Texas farm with post-traumatic stress disorder and the crazy notion that he can fly in and out of parallel worlds.
As Billy struggles with addiction and questions his sanity, he is arrested on a drug charge and ends up in the courtroom of Judge Madeline Johnston, a bitter old judge tormented by a dark secret surrounding her father’s death. She callously tosses Billy into prison, but when a greedy executor files a lawsuit to steal his inherited land, Billy is hauled back to her courtroom in chains, where a stunning twist of fate launches them into the sky on an odyssey of discovery and healing.
Spanning forty years from the jungles of Vietnam through infinite, parallel worlds, Rip the Sky examines how the power of forgiveness can lead us toward a better life, no matter how many worlds we may live in.

My Rating: 5/5
Texas Ranger? Former Army Girl? Murder Mystery with a dash of paranormal? YES PLEASE!
This book was surprisingly delightful! Texas Ranger Crock Ward is given a cold case, the death of Esme Green. This case leads him to the wonderful house of Dr. Laz Corona, in which case also leads him to his twin sister Tess. While not quite a romance, these two obviously have chemistry and could in the future have some sort of relationship between the two.
The characters in this book were well developed. Their interactions with each other were clever and enjoyable to read. This book was quite suspenseful and I found myself staying up late to read the book despite the fact that I have a bed time as an adult with 2 kids to take care of. I couldn’t help it! I honestly wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I dove into this book, but it really surprised me how much I enjoyed it. I really loved how it wasn’t just a mystery, but had a little paranormal to it was well. And the Corona family was contagious to read about. I just wanted to read more and more of them!
If you enjoy Texas Rangers and a good, solid murder mystery with a little paranormal details in it, then this book is definitely for you! I couldn’t recommend this book enough, it’s purely delightful!
Magical Elements of the Periodic Table: Review
Every element page includes: *where the featured element comes from* *when it was discovered* *scientific info about the element* *everyday uses for it* *a bunch of interesting facts* *a unicorn who wields its magical powers representing each element* The book also has an amazing unicorn-themed periodic table plus special pages featuring elemental compounds and alloys. Now, that’s Techno-Magical!
CLICK TO PURCHASE
Just like the cover, Magical Elements of the Periodic Table, will give you a top to bottom page of art and education. In its alphabetical array, Sybrina Durant, presents a unique way to learn the elements and their many uses. Some that even a parent reading to their child can learn!
I love the design elements placed in this book! Pun absolutely intended. As an artist; the level of detail, color use, and creativity is amazing. The friendly characters and placement did a great job of informing without overwhelming the page. It speaks to the good communication involved. Having pictured examples of the uses for each element was a great touch and widens the use for younger ages as well!
I feel I’m using a lot of exclamations in this review, but I want readers to know how impressed I am with this book. In an educational format, elements of the periodic table and their structure can overwhelm or seem dry to a young student. However, the writing and design of this book is cleverly presented in a fantastical way. Their accompanied unicorns have special abilities that hint to the many uses of each element. My favorite being Pearl, the Potassium-Horned Unicorn, that cleans everything she touches. I had no idea Potassium was used in soaps and detergents as well!
I remember learning about elements in school and I wish I’d had something as fun as this book! I have no doubt many children will easily follow and learn something from this. It certainly can be used in lesson plans and as a creative way to begin learning about their more in depth atomic structure and history. By the end, Durant includes more about alloys and compounds as well.
Did I mention a fun song to match? Watch the book trailer to hear it and don’t miss out on the giveaway for a chance at the book, trading cards, and a unicorn themed poster!
