Home to Gaia: a simply beautiful book

By admin | Uncategorized

Home to Gaia, by Ina Curic is simply a beautiful book. Physically, it’s gorgeously done, in a very clear Waldorf Education art style. It’s a charming fairy tale where the Yellow Elf guides little ones – and not so little ones – to the heart of the earth where they are embraced by Mother Gaia in love and sweet dreams. Blended with that story, however, is a guided meditation to help children make the transition from busy playtime to a deep, restful sleep. I look forward to seeing more of Ina’s work. You can read more about this lovely book at https://imaginecreatively.com/hometogaia/.

Note, this book is not suited to a regular eink kindle. It needs at least a tablet screen, so you can see the lovely artwork in all its delicate colors and shades.

Wyrm Tales Press now has a Pinterest page!

By admin | Uncategorized

We now have a Pinterest page. It’s a work in progress, but I have the two most important boards set up: one for free resources for teachers and homeschoolers, and another that lists all the books. Feel free to look around, add pins, and pin some of our pictures to your boards. I’m still learning how to use Pinterest, but I’m having a great time adding to my boards. If you follow me, I’ll probably follow you right back. And if you have any suggestions for Pinterest groups that it would be useful for me, please let me know.

Small girl reading Bridge of Seven Stones at the South Haven Michigan Mermaid Megafest. It’s always wonderful when the child finds the right book – or maybe it’s when the book finds the right child.

Dragons and Dreams was featured in a podcast

The Book Reads podcast recently featured The Grumpy Dragon from Dragons and Dreams. I do think that he read it very well. To listen (the podcast is about half an hour), click here:

Sirens’ Song is Now Available

By admin | Uncategorized

Sirens’ Song is now available at Amazon, in ebook, paperback, and hardbound. I have to admit, the hardbound version is amazing.

Teddy O’Malley’s The Fairy’s Bubble Wand

By admin | Uncategorized

I recently got to read Teddy O’Malley’s book The Fairy’s Bubble Wand. This is a cute story about Fay, the Fairy King’s daughter, and a human girl named Vadaya. Vadaya’s big sister and main friend is going away to college, and as a going away givt, she gives Vadaya a tube of bubble-stuff to cheer her up.

Meanwhile, Fay has been failing Fairy School, and is depressed and sad, because she so much wants her father to be proud of her. Somehow, Vadaya winds up the same size as Fay, and they go off to rescue Fay’s father, who has gotten lost. Both girls lack self-confidence, but working together they manage to escape the Ice Fairies and have other adventures, while Fay discovers her fairy magic and Vadaya discovers what Fay calls here “human magic”. Through their cleverness, and a work of advanced magic that Fay isn’t supposed to be able to do, the girls rescue Fay’s faather, and all ends happily.

This is a charming book, simply told with nice, clean writing. It might seem a bit young for children who can read it for themselves, but they’ll be captivated by Fay and Vadaya and their adventures. The chapters make nice breaks, so it would be good to read a chapter or two at bedtime.

I hope there’s a followup story with more adventures for Fay and Vadaya – I’ll certainly read them, if there are.

Upcoming books

By admin | Uncategorized

I’ve just added Field, Forest and Fairies as an Amazon e-book. It contains the full text and pictures from Fairies and Fireflies, The Wood and the Wildfolk, and the Wizard and the Wood. By the end of August it should also be available as a paperback.

I’ve finalized the text of Siren’s Song, and it will go for illustrations by September 1. This is an unusual book, and will be lavishly illustrated. I hope to have it available by the first of the year, both in paperback and hardcover.

I’ve just started my YA/Adult fantasy novel, The Boy Who Loved The Moon. I’m aiming for completion by 2019, but since it’s my first real novel, rather than a collection of short stories, I don’t know how long it will take. It involves a Neolithic hunter/gatherer young man, and a 14th Century warrior/bard on the Isle of Mythos, and their interactions with the personification of The Moon. I’ve got plotted some interesting twists that I hope you’ll like when it finally comes out.
