The Last Stored Blog Tour - Ten's List

Sonia Poynter grew up traipsing through the thick woods of Kentucky. The magic of the forest made her want to write. Currently, she lives in the sleepy community of Pittsboro, Indiana, with the love of her life and God has blessed them both with three amazing kids.

Thank you Katie for hosting me today.  I don’t think it’s by chance that writers happen to be the most caring and helpful people.  I think it is because we’ve been put through the proverbial wringer and come out the other side.  I am truly blessed!
Top Ten Travel Destinations and Why?1.      Somerset, Kentucky. Why? It’s where I spent my summers. My grandparents owned a farm and I would help them milk the cows in the wee morning hours. Mamaw named the cows after my school mates. After we were done we would go back to their house and have breakfast.  Paul Harvey would be on the radio, and Papa would sit and talk with me for hours. I’d take that over any beach vacation any day.
2.      Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Why? I vacationed there as a child with my family, and my husband and I have kept up the tradition with our own kids. We love to hike the trails, then at night take in the sights and sounds of downtown.  Being in the hills gives me peace.
3.      Wyoming. Why? We went there when the kids were little.  We even took our family dog.  All of us loaded into a small SUV.  The memories of tornadoes on the plains and snow in the pass will always stay etched in my mind.
4.      Appalachian Mountains. Why? I went there a few years ago with our teen youth group. It was in the upper 90’s and the nearest bathroom at the work site was ten miles away. We were attacked by hornets, mice scurried over our feet, and we had to carry in drinking water. But I absolutely loved being there helping people.  The woman that ran the mission was an angel in disguise.  Never have I been so blessed.
5.      Ireland.  Why? I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to go.  It seems so magical. I’m pretty sure I could get swept away in that land. Just the green grass and rolling hills remind me of my home in Kentucky a place that is near and dear to my heart.
6.      Israel. Why? To walk the same land of the Bible would be amazing, from the Dead Sea to the Mt. Of Olives. History marks its time by it, that in and of its self is astounding. 
7.      Harry Potter World, Orlando, Florida. Why? As a writer, to see something you wrote come to life up would be a dream. I can’t even imagine.  We went there this past summer with my brother-in-law’s family.  Just seeing Hogwarts was pretty incredible, then to eat at Hogsmeade, WOW! (But I would like it more if it was a tad bit chillier.)
8.      Alaska. Why? I guess you can tell by now I’m not a hot weather gal.  Put me on the beach and I melt, but stick me in the cold and I come alive.  I’ve never been to Alaska, but the wide-open space, mountains, and dense forests call to me.  I would love to go dog sledding, and cross-country skiing. 
9.      British Colombia. Why? Probably the same reason as Alaska. It is wide open, and one of my favorite moves took place there. A low budget movie called The Mother Lode, nobody saw it, and if I watched it today I would most likely laugh, but when I first saw it I thought the scenery was stunning.  I could totally see myself in a shack writing, while my hub’s cooked up some bacon, ‘cause bacon is what mountain people eat, right?
10.   The Forest of Outerrat. Why?  Where might you ask is the Outerrat?  In the world of Tali of course, a place I created for my book, The Last Stored.  It is the home of Dartlin and Fink, two little old men who I’d love for you to meet.  The air is fresh and clean, with water as pure as you have ever drank. Outerrat is a dense woodland and at the center is Fej’s keep. Fej protects the Outerrat, but he has grown old.  If the Outerrat falls, Tali is lost.

Blurb for THE LAST STORED:After the sudden death of her parents, making it through the day is a struggle for Amber Megan Peel. In the midst of her grief, an exquisite bird perches on her garden fence and shows her visions of a vivid landscape and a dark lord slouching upon a throne.  She thinks the visions are tied to her sorrow. But when a boy flies through her kitchen window to tell her she’s the Last Stored, she wonders if she’s just lost her mind.
Cree of Din is tasked with one job: Bring Amber home. For seven years, Cree has trained as her protector and it is the ultimate responsibility. Failure means Amber’s certain death, and that’s not an option for Cree – especially since he’s falling in love with her.
The Returning has begun. Now all Amber and Cree have to do is enter Tali, a world of unimaginable splendor and equally unimaginable horror, and defeat Lorthis. If they can’t, not only will Tali plunge into darkness, but so will Earth.
