Ravenoushair

I'm a twenty something Michigander. I love paranormal books right now, especially weres. I'm one of those people who totally judges a book by its cover before they even pick it up to read the back.

    The Ancient One says

    Life's Canvas
    Edgar Guest

    Sunshine and shadow and laughter and tears,
    These are forever the paints of the years,
    Splashed on the canvas of life day by day,
    We are the artists, the colors are they.
    We are the painters, the pigments we use
    Never we're wholly permitted to chose.
    Grief with its gray tint and joy with its red
    Come from life's tubes to be blended and spread.

    Here at the easel, the brushes at hand,
    Each for a time is permitted to stand.
    White was the canvas when first we began,
    Ready to picture the life of a man.
    Now we ar splashing the pigments about,
    Knowing the reds and blues must give out,
    Soon we must turn to the dull hues and gray,
    Painting the sorrows that darken the way.

    Now with the sunshine and now with the shade
    Slowly but surely the picture is made.
    Even the gray tints with beauty may glow
    Recalling the joy of the lost long ago.
    Let me not daub it with doubt and despair,
    Deeds that are hasty, unkind and unfair,
    But when the last bit of pigment is dried
    Let me look back at my canvas with pride.

    - From THE LIGHT OF FAITH 1926

    I know! The hardcover thing pissed me off too! But I'm way too impatient not to buy it straight away. You should probably rent it from the library first....It's not that it's not good...It's just that it's pretty different and out there...I wish someone else would hurry up and read it and tell me what they think! Lol. (I was expecting more Damon, btw.)

    Dear Ravenous: I wouldn't get too close to Hannibal. I understand he bites. I’m an author from Massachusetts. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April. It has received high praise from Booklist, ForeWord Magazine and the Midwest Review. If you enjoy reading a good thriller, you may well like HUNTING. The story revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother's death in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother's death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college in Boston. Now an archaeologist, she is recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to know who or what is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As a loyal Catholic, she is scared that what she finds may have devastating consequences for her faith. There is an awesome YouTube book trailer well worth watching to give you an idea of the power of the book. Thanks.
