Gun Control Debate – Fourth and Final Part

Hi everyone

After the appalling massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, my dear friend and fellow author, Tara Fox Hall, asked me about gun laws in England and we ended up having a full-blown discussion that lasted several days and turned out to be so interesting we thought we ought to do a blog about it. It was only going to be one blog, but we found we had so much to say that it has expanded to four.
This is the last day and the response has been amazing. There have been some remarkable, thought-provoking comments, not just on the gun control issue but about charismatic dictators and personal liberty.

Hope you find it as interesting as we did.

Gun Control – Do You Want to Join in the Debate?

Hi everyone

Great Day for Reviews! – Jenny Twist

Woke up this morning to no less than five new reviews!
All in the Mind:-
Dan Spanton - 5 stars
“This story surprised me again and again, not only by the directions it took, but by its ability to catch me off guard. I wasn’t prepared, for example, for Tilly Thompson’s first view of her parents’ home, destroyed by a bomb in wartime London, nor for my sense of involvement in Kim’s conflicts with his Indian family. The story itself didn’t go where I kept imagining it would go, but when I finished the last page I felt that everything came together perfectly. A sterling job.”

Bedtime Shadows:-
Tony-Paul Vissage – 5 stars
“…a collection of tales to amuse, horrify, chill, but above all entertain. Ranging from the mythological as in “The Bull Dancer” to the apocalyptic in “Shades of Grey” and everywhere in between. Read them with the lights on, and sleep with the lights on, too.”
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009PNH2VI
http://amzn.com/1612354742
Away With the Fairies:-
Chettsgenie – 5 stars
“A very engaging read that gets the imagination going and yet maintains a sense of realism, this fairy story is an enthralling read I enjoyed so much I read it again right after I finished. “

Sally Pink Reviews – 4 stars
“Twist's imagination and creativity shine in this story that will appeal to both older and young readers. The characters are full of emotions, and it's easy to visualize Fairyland with Twist's vivid descriptions. Overall, "Away With the Fairies," is a sweet, endearing story about the bonds of family. I highly recommend this book for all ages.”

MT – 5 stars
“I know that what she writes is engaging and entertaining.
I did not think I'd like Away with the Fairies. It's not the sort of thing I would normally read.
However I was hooked from start to finish.”

Away With the Fairies

Lucy likes to stare at the wall. Her mother thinks she is suffering from petit mal but Granny McCurdle says, “ Och, she's away wi' the fairies again.”
Nobody takes this literally until Lucy disappears. Her sister knows where she's gone, but who would believe her? Can she really be away with the fairies?

Excerpt from Away With the Fairies - FREE This Weekend

Here's an excerpt from Away With the Fairies, my very slightly sinister fairy
tale. Free on Amazon Friday 1st through to Sunday 3rd February:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009DNXCSW

Excerpt from Away With the Fairies


"Lucy!"
June stopped dead in the bedroom doorway. Lucy was sitting staring at the wall.
Again. She did it all the time these days. Mum said she was suffering from some
sort of condition that made her go into a trance. It sounded like someone's name
– Betty Moll? – something like that. But Granny McCurdle said, "Och, she's away
wi' the fairies again." And that sounded so much nicer.
Even so, she didn't want to wake her up. You weren't supposed to wake people up
if they were sleepwalking. Maybe it was the same with a trance. She didn't know
what happened to them. Did they die? Or go mad? She just didn't want to take the
chance. So she moved across the room very quietly and sat beside her sister on
the bed.
There was a tiny tear in the wallpaper just opposite where Lucy was sitting.
Lucy said that was what she had to concentrate on to make the trance come. Only
she didn't call it a trance. She said she went to look at Fairyland.
June leant forward and stared at the tear in the paper. It was that kind of
lumpy paper called Anna something – Anna Galloper? The wall remained blank and
ordinary. June sat back a bit and refocussed. And there was something – just the
slightest suggestion of green - a pale shifting of green shadows, a bit like a
film being projected onto a screen. Fascinated, she concentrated harder. Then,
just as the shadows started to coalesce into a picture, the cat, Mitzy, shot
across the room and ran straight into the wall. Straight into the middle of what
had become a picture of a forest. And she ran into the shadows under the trees
and disappeared behind a trunk.
June gasped with shock.
"Mitzy!" Lucy stood up and ran after the cat, straight through - or was it into
- the wall. But the wall wasn't there anymore. A real live forest was standing
beyond the hole where the wall was supposed to be.
Shaking, June stood up, her hands outstretched like a blind man, feeling in
front of her for where the wall used to be. Then with an audible pop! the wall
reappeared, just at the ends of her fingers. She felt it smack against them as
it came back.
"Whoo!" June sat down again suddenly and stared at the wall. It was white and
blank and innocent again. She remained staring at the wall for a long time.

Thanks for reading

Love
Jenny Twist
