A Defining Elevator Speech

Previously these words were shared by me with Marion Gropen about Ava D Dohn's works, of course based on my opinion, from my reading.  But with the releases of 

Burning Phoenix, Book 2 & 

Blood Moon Rising, Book 3 & 

Hell Above the Skies, Book 4 

the author has developed a more consistent style.  As I'm reading book 2 now, and as ONLY the writer and editor have read any of the other books as far as we are aware, my opinions are still the only comments shared:

1. Is the language as beautiful and pristine as Tolkien's writing was?

     - The language is as beautiful as Tolkien's but it is more pristine when it comes to story sharing, but it is less pristine when it comes to the amount of stories, because there are more, and the perfection of language the words are more common, to some degree.  But the correctness is a little less, especially if you’re of editorial mind.

2. Is it poetic?

     - The poetry comes to life with the emotion of a few words.

Sisters of the Bloodwind p. 181-182:

Opinions & Reader's Comments Please

Millenniums of war continue! 

The epic begins with Sisters of the Bloodwind as an introductory guide to some of the conflicts and forces.  Burning Phoenix shares more of the other side, & Blood Moon Rising adds depth to the conflicts within The Chronicles of Heaven's war.  Sharing with people some of Heaven's Wars, your comments would be great if you read!


Yes, these are FREE presently, in fact there has only been an editor who has read the completed work and the author which means there is limited opinion on the works of the author.

This AUTHOR'S WORDS tied to Thomas Bergersen's music by this blogger, do you agree with me?

Darla's actions in the following minuscule section (the reading is from Sisters of the Bloodwind, by Ava D Dohn pp. 374 - 393) and, this blogger thinks, it ties with great harmony to Thomas Bergersen's, public album Invincible, shared here, (music begins at 20 seconds after clicking the link). Please read, listen, and compare to see if your heart tells you the same thing. 

. . . During this silence, Euroaquilo took opportunity to advance a brewing question.  “My Dusme, many are the dreams we have shared since the Great War, yet never have I found revealed your adventures of this great and terrible battle.  Now you speak to me concerning your experiences regarding the Day or Tears in such an off-handed way so as to dismiss it.  Please share with me the moments of your glory during that conflict.  Why hide it from me any longer?”

Darla’s jaw stiffened and face soured.  At length, she relented.  “To you I will speak of this matter, but you must not tell another soul for its pain is too deep for my ears to hear it repeated.  Until the healing day, it must remain secret.”

Euroaquilo promised he would keep it so.

Soul Food For You

People are all desirous of comfort with life.  But beyond that comfort comes the desire to see and feel new experiences.  Sharing the words that inspire you often add to another's desire to experience and feel more.  As a reader what do you desire as food for inspiration and new experience?

Readers have many choices because a fiction book is like candy for US citizens. There is so much available that a person can take the time to choose which flavor fits their personal tastes best.  I love that freedom.

But, when fiction is based on a depth of fact, that could be true, it can often inspire more fulfillment from the enjoyment.  And depth based fiction can give a reader inspiration to develop their soul.  This difference between fiction without historical depth can be similarized to eating a sandwich for a meal versus eating a candy bar.

A reader is inspired with wisdom that causes thought and action while getting a desire fulfilled.

Examples of sandwich fiction include Tolkien's work which awakened people to look beyond earth as the only place for the fight of good versus evil, this inspiration altered the whole fiction world to a great degree.  Mark Twain intrigued readers by inspiring them to live outside of their state of understanding with the view of young life in the Mississippi world of his day.  Harriet Beecher Stowe enlivened the minds of the unenlightened and inspired their hearts to see the need for change.

Trademark Trouble with Pinterest or is it the Government?

As the picture Artist, except for the one on the link with Music, I have added a small trademark, or signature, to my pictures included for Ava D Dohn.  This work so far is mostly on the web postings being shared with the world.  It is "[t]he teddybear, in and of itself was originally trademarked by Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name. . . The Washington Post ran a editorial cartoon created by the political cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman that illustrated the event. The cartoon was called "Drawing the Line in Mississippi" and depicted both state line dispute and the bear hunt."

My assumption is that the trademark I've added to pictures is in contention.  But so far there've  been no personal messages to me.

READING VISIONS

Our imaginations are in danger of being lost!  We have forgotten the key to opening our minds to dreams!  The children we were are gone without one word!  What's to be, what's to be!

Our imagination helps us to be free.  It opens up the world to you and me.  With an imagination the box doesn't shut.  With that tool the doors to moving the world come unstuck.

But how can we can what's been lost by the majority?  What is needed so that we can all find what TV's superseded?

For me it's the book that opens up the world and keeps me safe while being free.  The TV gives me sound and site of of another's mind, but with the book I draw the shape, make the design, determine the location and experience the emotion that the TV limits in my mind.  What about you, do you see the walls as strong and straight or do you see a way to bend and alter so that flexibility makes your world more flexible and less regulate?

Trademarks Again for Ava D. Dohn or Ava D Dohn by Rhapsodie McClintick

Trademarks again so that others will have to pay me to use them, unless they already have.

These are sweet and nature did them provide:

The winged horse or the Pegasus by another name:

Self-Publishing Difficulties

There are many things necessary to find people that desire to read your publication. This list often requires thought outside of your own personal perceptions.  Sharing just the few discovered by Ava D. Dohn and compatriots hopefully will ease you into sharing work that others want to read.

Reader of Ava D. Dohn's Sisters of the BloodWind available at Amazon.com!

The following points are ones that are progressive works:

1. A story;
2. Editing;
3. Determining genre and purpose;
4. Marketing for best distribution;
5. Figuring out a book and market representational cover, and
6. Writing the blurb.

Determining all of these points are part of providing the reader work that is acceptable and desirable.

A Story

A Writer's Stories Inspired By . . .

It's amazing to read the words of another writer blogger that reveals, "The Big Secret" to writing.  What was so amazing about reading that post is how commendable Ava D. Dohn has been in following that advice without knowing it.

Historically Ava has been a reader for my whole life.  Reading was the inspirational tool for mind and thought, and in my early years the example of Ava by taking the time to read and self educate was wonderful.  The family of Ava has had a particular interest in books for the last 100 years.  When gas lamps were common in homes, the family was said to be, "burning the midnight oil" while reading by their neighbors.

Presently the library of Ava D. Dohn is not pretty and fancy but it is full of books.  Above and beyond this author's reading is the effect the stories told have on the listener or the reader.
