No Nodding Off in This Tale

 For those of us raised on the exploits of superheroes, whether in the comic book mode, watching television series or the many movies out of late, ask us what our greatest wish would be and we would instantly respond without hesitation, "I want to be a hero with the ability to save those in peril." Our eyes would twinkle, the pores of our skin would begin perspiring, our hearts would pound within our chests at the merest hint of having our fondest dream fulfilled...

In Land of Nod, The Artifact, by Gary Hoover, one such youth, high school student Jeff Browning, whose father, a respected and highly-esteemed scientist in his community and among his peers who has been missing for the past year - whereabouts unknown - an unexpected foray through a wormhole in a machine his father built and left within the office in his home, that dream is about to become reality. Only Jeff Browning is completely unaware of what awaits him as he descends through the portal that is the entryway to another world - the world where he suspects his dad may have ventured a year ago, unaware that he would be unable to retrace his steps and make his way back through the portal and to his home and family who miss him and yearn for his return.

On this new and unfamiliar world, teenager Jeff Browning must make his way through the vast forest to civilization in order to locate clues which may lead to the whereabouts of his father. His meeting with those all-too human inhabitants of this world, however, will reveal to him that he is more than a teenage boy in search of a missing father, for Jeff is in fact...

...but that would spoil the fun involved in reading this amazing tale titled Land of Nod, The Artifact, by indie author Gary Hoover.This well-crafted adventure may perhaps be written as a story for young adults, but it has all the requirements to make it equally as interesting a tale for adults (if you will excuse my using such a coarse and vulgar term) who yearn to be more than what we - er, I mean they - are; who see in this adventure tale the possibility once more of becoming that which each of us knows is buried deep within our beings, waiting, panting, begging to be set free.

Land of Nod, The Artifact, by Gary Hoover, an exciting action/adventure story that will set your minds free to be all that you knew you always were to begin with.

Sin

 Sin. A simple little word that conveys so much. It means lack of morals, the acting against that which is right and just, the suspension of good, and many other unpleasant definitions. People sin for fun, in anger, for profit, or simply on the spur of the moment without any lack of forethought or intent.

In the mind and imagination of Shaun Allan, however, Sin is a person, the hero and main character of a story by the same name as this leading man, if indeed, the term can be applied to such a one as Sin Matthews. There's a problem with Sin Matthews, though, that should be addressed early on here and it seems best to refer at this point to the third installment of The Pirates of the Carribean movies, starring Johnny Depp as one Captain Jack Sparrow. If you are one among the many who watched this particular movie you most likely were first puzzled in the beginning of it and then progressed to being bewildered, finally ending up completely confused and befuddled. At least until you reached the point in this movie where you finally realized one extremely important and salient fact - Jack Sparrow was quite insane. Once you understood that the entirety of the movie depended upon Capt. Jack's mental incapacity, then everything you had seen up to that point and indeed, everything after that as well, made perfect sense.

So is it with the main part of Shaun Allan's Sin. Much of it seems odd, if not outright perplexing, until you grasp that same fact here, that the narration of this tale is derived from the mind of Sin and Sin is "crazy as a loon". Yes. Thank you. Now it all makes perfect sense and you can continue on to read this bizarre tale of a mental patient within the confines of a mental asylum, at least until such time as Sin escapes, by means of teleportation, an ability inherent within him rooted as psychically as certain abilities within his sister, Joy, who appears to Sin variously throughgout this story, even though his sister committed suicide.

Wait. If his sister is dead, how then can she appear to Sin while he is yet alive. Is this merely another aspect of his insanity? Ahh, not exactly, but for the answers to that and many other questions certainly raised by this review you will need to opurchase a copy of Sin, by Shaun Allan. You didn't atually think this review would give away all the key points to this story, did you? Huh. You must be as crazy as Sin.

Flying High With Baby

 I've read some unusual books in my life. from serious science fiction to humorous science fiction to fantasy of every type imaginable to mystery, drama, romance, horror and everything in between and wrapped around sideways, underneath, and coming out my ears, nose and - ah - ok, we'll stop there. Perhaps the most unusual book I've read in a long time is Remember...In Your Dreams, by Alex Canton-Dutari, aka, Alejandro Canton, another Smashwords indie author.

Remember...In Your Dreams is an off-beat and intriguing book of short stories written as dialogue from a grandfather to his grandchild, who is still a very young infant. What's unusual and off-beat aboout this book is that the grandfather visits this baby through the vehicle of out-of-body-experiences and takes this grandchild on exciting and interesting visits, sometimes even into the past to view scenes long lost and all-but-forgotten, by everyone other than this caring grandfather, who yearns to make this infant aware of the rich heritage awaiting his grandson.

Whether you believe in astral projection, as out-of-body-experiences are also known, or hold one of many beliefs concerning this spiritual mode of traveling, Remember...In Your Dreams is an interesting read that will hold your attention and move your mind along page-by-page until you reach the end of these stories. And the way in which this caring grandfather speaks to his grandson, imparting the information and wisdom that is transferred from one generation to another, is one to be emulated by every parent or grandparent or anyone else who has charge over the care of a child.

In Remember...In Your Dreams, by Alex Canton-Dutari, you will see amazing things and hear even more amazing stories. Do yourself a favor and download this eBook to your eReader pronto. But don't attempt the astral projection without first consulting an experienced guide or at least a detailed guidebook on such.
