Percy & the Promise



Percy & the Promise by T.B. Dockter

Ms. Dockter has delivered a winner in the second issue of her Percy Veerance Adventure Series. It is another tale of the people of Yoosa and how they work through problems.

The story instills friendship, community involvement, helping others and learning acceptance of those who do not look or act like everyone else. The many adventures the town goes through helps to portray how people meet those challenges and overcome them.

I highly recommend this book to parents who want wholesome, moral driven stories for their children to read. Ms. Dockter has built a quirky fictional town and people to help children understand our world and how to become the best they can be. My congratulations.

In The Light Of The Passing (Book 1) - Book Review


K.C. Berg has penned a novel that fairly bursts from the pages. The characters are alive and vibrant. Her hero/heroine immediately draw you into their stories and keep you reading to watch their story unfold.

This is a story of greed for the ultimate power by the heroine's parents where they throw her into a situation that entangles her life with the plight of the miners working beneath the surface of the planet. The death of the hero's father thrusts him into the leadership of his planet where he is trying to save his people from certain death. In doing so, he inadvertently becomes embroiled in the heroine's planetary problems.

This novel is fast moving, full of intrigue, twists, and turns where the action never stops. It is a beautifully written book that holds you in its clutches and keeps you cheering for the hero/heroine until the last page.

Congratulations to K.C. Berg. This is definitely a keeper.
