In a month I will be expanding upon my lovely family with a baby boy. For those of you that were not aware of it, I do write under the guise of a man's pen name. Being the opposite sex, I have been struggling with various symptoms of pregnancy that have prevented me from updating my blog or even writing for that matter. As the end of the pregnancy nears, the uncomfortable symptoms have waned. My husband and I are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a boy that will be a blessing to our family.

Now that I am off work and preparing for the reality of maternity leave, I hope to focus some of my attention back to the publishing business. There is a new historical romance novel that I am currently working on, but the details of the plot-line will be given at a later date. Hoping to review 'Far from Home: Book Three' and decided the right date to publish the last of the spooky vampire series. Prior to becoming pregnant, I hoped it would be published around Halloween of this year, but due to the realities of the heavy demands of a newborn around that time period, I have decided to push it back for some time in the year 2027 or 2028. You (the reader) will be updated as soon as the decision to publish 'Far from Home: Book Three' has been made.

Thank you for your continued support!

The first time I had set eyes on his home was on the twenty-first of April, on a warm balmy day that would ideally make my job easier. I was to take up my supervisor’s position and tend to his private gardens for the next week, while her husband was in the hospital. I was informed it would be a relatively easy task if I followed one simple instruction: to leave the master of that house alone.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A classic children's novel with the familiar trope of good versus evil. A wonderful read for both children and adults; the morals of this story is clear and easy for the reader to understand. Children can easily be whisked away to a world beyond a closet- to the magical land of Narnia!

Overall I grew up with the film in the early twenty-first century, so I am fairly familiar with the storyline. Fortunately, the film accurately depicts the novel for the most part, including the memorable four young children that are the heroes in the story. I particularly liked the author's depiction of nature, including the natural creatures and plants that can be found in the season of winter and spring. It helped the reader appreciate the scenery that the four characters are travelling with, especially with the news of Aslan's return!

The biblical lessons were a bit on the nose, per say. If you are familiar with Christian teachings you will notice it right away. All in all, a great book for children to read independently or alongside family members. As an adult I didn't enjoy it as much, but considering I am not the ideal reader for C.S. Lewis, I am sure he won't take it to heart. A classic children's book that is timeless even in this day and age.
