Dear Oracle fans - we keep getting inquiries about book 4's release, thanks! The manuscript is done. The cover and website are underway. After that will come text design, proofing, and final uploads. Looks like March before everything gets done. Thanks for your patience!

For those of you who take quizzes through the Accelerated Readers Program (Renaissance Learning), Oracle - Sunken Earth (Book 1 in The Oracle Series) now has a quiz, here's the link - http://www.arbookfind.com/bookdetail....
The Oracle Series is now being sold at A Children's Place Bookstore, go check out their bookstore, it is awesome! Here's their website - http://achildrensplacebookstore.com/
We are diligently preparing book 4 for publication, thank you for all your requests (and patience). Here’s something you can do to help – leave a review on Amazon for book 1, book 2, or book 3 (we need a lot more reviews, especially for books 2 and 3). Follow the links below, then click on the “Create your own review” box, thanks!Book 1 – http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Sunken-E...
Book 2 – http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Fire-Isl...
Book 3 – http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-River-Or...
Thank you very much!
Book 4 is almost done! Which book type (paperback or eBook) should we focus on completing first?
Book 4 status update: one chapter left to write, then cover design, editing, text design, proofing, website additions ... looking at maybe a February release date ... anyone think we should have a launch party? :)
CHRISTMAS GIFT - If someone special in your life likes to read, give them the first 3 Oracle books (what a great idea)! Order them on Amazon (www.trisefbook.com) for less than $38 for all 3, or email trisefbook@gmail.com and we'll send autographed paperbacks for $30 for all 3 (individual prices are $10 for Book 1, $10 for Book 2, $15 for Book 3).
Oracle Series theme example #3 - quote and theme from Book 3 (Oracle - River of Ore), with a current-day example:QUOTE - (Oracle - River of Ore, pp. 376-7) - “Did power over ore come with power over greed? ... The pyramid had revealed the inner thoughts and intents of his heart ... And so, it was within the wanton walls of the pyramid of wealth where Ret became acquainted with a new kind of power—a force more important, perhaps, than anything the Oracle or its elements could exert: the will of one’s heart.”
THEME - Greed.
CURRENT-DAY EXAMPLE - I recently stayed at a hotel and found them in violation of federal law, distributing "any obscene matter by means of cable television or subscription services on television" (U.S. Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 71, Section 1468). This was the hotel's response to my inquiry: "we must provide those services most in demand by hotel guests." I don't know which is worse: the hotel's refusal to obey the law or its guests' demands for obscene matter. Is this hotel an example of loving money more than law? They should read "Oracle - River of Ore" to learn about the curse of greed. Let's help Ret cure the world by upholding the law and shunning obscene (aka illegal) matter!

Some have asked why The Oracle Series has the occasional vocabulary word or literary device? So we can help with things like this - http://articles.washingtonpost.com/20...
Just finished writing chapter 10 of book 4 (to be released Spring 2014) - LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
Christmas is a month away! Be prepared, order the 3-book Oracle Series for under $38 at Amazon (link - http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-Sunken-E...) or for only $30 if you email Trisef Book directly at trisefbook@gmail.com. Merry Christmas!
Oracle Series theme example #2 - quote and theme from Book 2 (Oracle - Fire Island), with a current-day example (link):QUOTE - (Oracle - Fire Island, p. 176) - “What I’m telling you, Ret,” said Lionel..., “is that you need to learn to control your passions. ... The ‘trick’ is to discipline yourself ... and not let your passions control you. That’s the secret to success: giving it all you’ve got without letting it take all you are.”
THEME - Self control.
LINK TO CURRENT-DAY EXAMPLE - http://thepowerofprayer.tumblr.com/po...
Here's an example of the themes The Oracle Series will be tackling - this is a quote and theme from Book 1 (Oracle - Sunken Earth), with a current-day example (link):QUOTE - (Oracle - Sunken Earth, pp. 280-1) - Ever since the guards escorted him and his friends through the levels of Sunken Earth, one question had been weighing heavily on Ret’s mind: “Why are there levels?”...“How can two things, right next to each other,” he wondered, “be so different—so unequal?” He shook his head and sighed, “I’m glad there’s nothing like this back home.”
THEME - Inequality among people; the upper, middle, and lower classes of Sunken Earth (just like the Lost City of Atlantis).
LINK TO CURRENT-DAY EXAMPLE - http://rt.com/usa/us-income-inequalit...
So in Book 1 (Oracle - Sunken Earth), which you can get for FREE at trisefbook.com, Ret finds the Earth element, while battling the real-world mysteries of (1) the Bermuda Triangle, (2) the Lost City of Atlantis, and (3) the Bimini Road. He is also puzzled by the distinct social classes he finds in this new place called Sunken Earth.
The Oracle 7-book series is and will be many things - it is a fictional adventure of a teenage boy (Ret) who finds earth's 6 original elements, protected by our world's greatest mysteries - it is fun, wholesome, and adventure-packed reading - but even more, each book will explain themes and real-life obstacles that you and I can incorporate into our daily lives to help (Ret) cure this world!
For those of you in the Portland, Oregon area, we should support this - Portland Public Schools is hosting the city’s first annual Children’s Book Harvest, Nov 4-22, aimed at gathering 25,000 children’s books from the community - for more information or to volunteer contact Katherin Flower at kflower@childrensbookbank.org
