Where does the time go? It's already November.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween. It was quiet here. We're pretty remote and there are few kids in the area, so we had no little goblins visit us. Just as well, I suppose, we had a mountain lion sighting half a block from our house.
Waiting for The Fountain of the Earth release on November 22nd. In the meantime if any of you are willing to write a review, let me know and I'll send you an ebook, .pdf, or .mobi copy. hollyleroy111@gmail.com
As for me, I'm deep in the middle of writing book two in the Fountain of the Earth series.

Review of the Short Film, Sugar, Starring Kalia Prescott
Sugar, starring Kalia Prescott is a finalist in Ron Howard's Project Imaginat10n contest.
You should see this short film. Kalia Prescott, the Hunger Games actress, is luminous as Sugar. It needs to be a feature. Let's hope a major options it.

Review of the
Short Film “Sugar”
Sugar
One orphaned
girl struggles to survive in a not so distant future where society has
succumbed to violence and become a kill or be killed world.
Written and
Directed by Jasmine J. Johnson
Director of
Photography Dan Hertzog
Starring
Kahlia
Prescott http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2130520/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
For those of
you who aren’t aware, Ron Howard has been involved with Canon’s Project Imaginat10n.
The twenty finalists have been chosen and can be viewed here https://t.co/leFPNVqO6K
One of the
short film finalists I particularly enjoyed is Sugar, written and directed by
Jasmine J. Johnson. It is a visually arresting piece of modern
storytelling and the acting is superb. I can't think
of two better actors than Austin James Wolff and Kahlia Prescott (Hunger Games).
Their character’s intimate moments seem real and innocent. Khalia’s Sugar is a
terrific film pairing of actress and character.
Technically clean,
the film is immaculately shot and Jasmine J Johnson’s direction and writing are
wonderful. Spare as it needs to be for a short film but rich in detail and
nuance (Sugar clocks in at a brisk 9:59). Every shot is a painstakingly
arranged. For example, during the scene in the library two of the books over
Sugar’s shoulder, were Life Matters
and Hope Dies Last. It's little
details such as those, which elevate the film.
Check out
Sugar and the other 19 finalists. They are the future of film.

5 ★★★★★ Review of Billi Tiner's Dogs Aren't Men
Dr. Rebecca Miller is a gifted
veterinarian, leading a happy and fulfilling life at her veterinary clinic. Her
Golden Retriever, Captain, is her constant and only companion, and she doesn’t
see the need for any men in her life. She believes that having crossed the
Rubicon of thirty, her odds aren’t that great anyway. However, her mother has
other plans. She wants grandchildren.
Rebecca runs (literally) into Derrick
on a basketball court, and she feels a strange attraction to the tanned and
handsome ER doctor.
Coincidentally, Rebecca’s mom sets up a
blind date for Rebecca originally intended to be with Derrick. It goes haywire
and she winds up with Derrick’s best friend, Mitch, on a double date. Unfortunately,
Derrick has shown up with a stunning blonde and this does nothing to make
Rebecca think she has a chance with Derrick.
Rebecca is an independent, tough, and
intelligent heroine. And the rest of the other characters are written with a
depth and realism that makes you really care about their lives. The interaction and chemistry was great, and the dialogue
terrific.
Being an animal lover, I enjoyed the
realistic depiction of veterinary life, especially after I discovered that the
author is herself a veterinarian.
I also liked the quick pace of this story.
Ms. Tiner keeps it moving and doesn’t get caught up in lengthy filler
paragraphs that you’ll find in other books.
A
fun read. Highly recommend.
