Ellayne's  Adventures  As  Admin
 
A Review of
 
 
Lee Duigon The Glass Bridge [Bell Mountain Series #7] (Storehouse Press, 2015)
                     308 pp   ISBN: 978-1-891375-67-5
 
Reviewer:  Forrest W. Schultz
 
     During the past two years in their adventures in the first six books of Lee Duigon's Bell Mountain fantasy series, Jack and Ellayne, though children, were given adult-level missions which took them all over the world.  In this seventh book of the series their adventures occur in or near their home town of Ninneburky ruled by Ellayne's father, Baron Bault.  In fact, the good Baron, discerning their characters, knowledge, and experience, has adopted Jack as his son, and has made Ellayne his administrative assistant.  And, Baron Bault is now one of the major players in the overall scheme of things in this world, where God is co-ordinating Bault's actions with those of His political servant (King Ryons) and His religious servant (First Prester Orth).  In the ensuing story are many of the same characters as in the past, with similarities with deeds of the past plus many new and interesting features.  This one is just as good as the first one where Jack and Ellayne rang the famous Bell.  And the author shows no signs of running out of material!  This is another good read, which I highly recommend as I have the first six.

A  "Ghost-Whisperer"  Episode  In  Newnan

A Review of

Chase J. Jackson Whispers In The Dark (BQB Pub., 2015)    $11.95   112 pp   ISBN: 978-1-939371-09-6

Reviewer:  Forrest W. Schultz

      The mysterious phenomena in Chase Jackson's novella can best be described by noting their similarity to the episodes of the Ghost Whisperer television series.  The author lives in Newnan, Georgia and Whispers In The Dark takes place in Newnan, thereby making him the third Coweta author to set his story in today's Coweta County [the first two being Tamala Callaway (for her Super Natural series) and Blue Cole (for his Sleeping Sickness)].  And, it is interesting to note, all three of these writers have spun interesting tales, which is quite appropriate because Coweta County is one of our nation's most interesting counties!

      And that is all I am going to say except to note that Jackson's book is a good read which would make a good Hallowe'en gift.  I suggest putting some copies in your car trunk if you are one of those Trunk Treaters! Information on the author is available on his website  www.chasejjackson.com.
