Storyteller As Shaman
The idea of storyteller as shaman has sat with me for a decade.
[image error]
One of the world’s oldest stories is the biblical tale of the Garden of Eden. There are a whole host of psychological and spiritual insights you can draw out of the story, but I’m going to go with Eve’s discovery of nakedness.
For me, the key mark of sentience is for an individual to understand that they are an “I” and...

| "Spaced" by Greg Curtis is an entertaining space opera with androids, mutants, a murder mystery, much greater evils, and a well-intentioned but bullied by his ship hero. I thoroughly enjoyed it. | |

| "The Caged Kingdom" (great title!) by M A Price is an intense fantasy novel that draws together a number of different threads with relationships and characters' struggles as important as the quest to defeat evil. Compelling. | |

| Venturi continues on of my favourite sci-fi series. The emphasis on people, culture, and discovering new worlds is wonderful. Has a more leisurely reflective pace than the violent space battles of a lot of space operas. Enjoyed it immensely. | |

“He sighed deeply: to fall in love at first sight with this malodorous sleeping girl, with, as far as he could see, no pretensions to beauty or even good looks, was something he had not expected. But falling in love, he had always understood, was unpredictable, and, as far as he was concerned, irrevocable That they hadn't exchanged a word, nor spoken, made no difference. He, heart whole until that minute, and with no intention of marrying until it suited him, had lost that same heart.”

Thanks for the friending, Amy :) Lovely to meet you!
Hi Jenny, thanks so much for accepting my friend request. Hope you're having a fab day!
Harlequin Books wrote: "Hi Jenny. Almost time for your release. Congrats!"Thank you! "Excited" doesn't even come close to describing how I feel. I have to ration !!! or they'd take over my every post.
So happy!!! ;)
Hi Jenny. Almost time for your release. Congrats!
Hi Steph, thanks for accepting the friend invite! So scary asking.Japan must be so much more exciting than Canberra. I'm in Perth now, but I lived in Canberra about ten years ago. The people are great and well, I quite like country towns, so I enjoyed Canberra, too. But it's definitely not exciting. Still, I enjoyed being able to say I lived in the Australian capital and kangaroos really did jump through the streets :)
Hi Jenny, Where in Australia are you? We just moved from there. We were in Canberra, not exciting but a lot of fun. We miss everything about AU, but the cost of living! LOL! Thanks for the friendvite. :)
I am such a computer dumbie. Took forever just to change my profile photo. *sigh*
Yes, life has a tendency to do that. Congrats on the novella by the way. I was looking forward to reading more of TD, I thought it was a very interesting concept.
My writing is going ok, I've trundled down a different track with it now; started a new story.
Good to hear from you :)
Renee wrote: "May I ask when the next chapter of The Divide is expected? :)"Hi Renee
Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, the answer is no time soon. Life has caught up with me. I haven't even had a chance to catch up here on Goodreads. I have a novella coming out with Carina Press soon and I'm writing its sequel.
The Divide is likely hanging fire an awfully long time.
Hope your writing is going well? :)
May I ask when the next chapter of The Divide is expected? :)
Looking around, getting comfortable, metaphorically putting feet on the coffee table (don't worry, it's an old and battered one, needs sanding and repainting). Very neat to vote on "anticipated books". Like being a kid and waiting for Christmas, swapping wish lists with friends.
