Talisman Of El Reviewed by Deyonce (Age 10)

Talisman Of El receives a review from its youngest reader yet.

Check out the review below.

Review:

Like all great authors, Alecia Stone knows how to captivate a reader thoroughly. I see her writing style as original, intriguing and a new way to bring the next generation towards books. I say that because I know a lot of people who are looking for something out-of-this-world fictional yet human which the Talisman Of El is exactly.Just take Harry Potter and Twilight for instance-all including an ex...

Why I Write

I did a blog tour in April, and one of the guest posts I did was titled “Why I Write”. I recently came across an article detailing a list in an essay written by the great George Orwell also titled “Why I write”. I found it rather interesting, so I thought I’d do a post on it. I’d be interested to find out what others think of Orwell’s opinion on the motives of writing.

“Why I Write” is an essay written by George Orwell and first published in 1946.

Orwell lists “four great motives for writing” w...

Talisman Of El Hardback and Paperback

Okay, so I finally got my camera working – by working, I mean it wasn’t broken, I just couldn’t be asked to look for it as I haven’t used it in a while and didn’t remember where I’d put it. Found it now, though. So, I received the Hardback copy of Talisman Of El a few weeks ago and recently received a few paperback ARCs. I’m so excited as there are only a few more days until the book’s publication date.

So, I managed to take a few snaps of the books that I’d like to share with you all.

Here the...

7 DAYS

OMG! I can’t believe it’s only seven days until the release of my debut novel, Talisman Of El. It’s the first in a planned trilogy. I’m over the moon. The feedback have been great.

I think what I’m looking forward to most is going out on book tours and talking to people about the book. While it will be a nerve-wracking experince, I al...
