Anky the daydreaming dinosaur: the lost egg by: ashleigh Hanley

Yet another book that I had to add to my review list. If you have some little tikes in your life this book is a must. I got this book free for an honest review but I will be buying a hard copy for my granddaughter for her birthday.

Description: Anky, the ankylosaurus, has one very special gift, but that gift also makes him very nervous and unsure of himself. Charged with having to return an egg home safely to his sister, Pooka, a lone purple tear escapes his dinosaur eye and he catches a glimpse of the future in it.

That little flash, he calls a Daydream and he uses them to help when he and his friends go on adventures together. They can avoid predators and wild rivers, but the one thing they can't avoid is worrying his parents, if Anky doesn't get that egg home in time.

Anky will have to build up his confidence and use his special gift to accomplish his mission or risk being in a whole lot of trouble at home.

Anky The Daydreaming Dinosaur: The Lost Egg - available at amazon.com

This novel is rated as Ace Detective – meaning it is a must read and needs to be added to your library.

The ingredients:  a dash of adventure, 2 friends, a loving family, a touch of fantasy, and oh yeah a heaping dalop of dinosaurs. Mix these all together and you get
Anky The Daydreaming Dinosaur: The Lost Egg, a well illustrated and written children's book. The book is just the right length for your little tikes, especially the beginning reader and also for those who still love for us, the parents, to give them that nightly adventure that I received when I was a child. I believe this series will go far and I see a couple of spin-offs with ShiShi and Dippy the friends Anky made on his first adventure. Ashleigh Hanley is a very talented author, and that little flash I just had says that we will be seeing more of his adventures on children's bookshelves, kindles and smartphones all over the world.

Love & Ink By: Kiana Donae

I have ran across a couple of books that are outside of the genre that I love so well and this is one of them. What can I say, I am an author myself and just as I would like for others to review my works; I decided to take the time to help out fellow writers by giving an honest review. Poetry was a hit and miss  for me until I ran across Love & Ink. Now i see poetry in a new light, really feeling the passion, the rhythm, and not only seeing the writer's interpretation, but also finding my own experiences that can relate to the words this author bled onto her pages; the essence of her very soul forced on the cream pages through the greatest invention or tool known to mankind - the pen.

Description: What happens when you bleed ink? You get poetry that paints pictures so vividly you can feel it. Love and Ink lures you in with it's innocence but when you come out at the end, you realize Love and Ink is not at all what you thought. Love and Ink isn't always black and white.

Love & Ink is a great little collection of poetry. The poems are intriguing, exciting and some are down right sensual. The best way for me to describe it would be to say that Love and Ink is a roller coaster of passion. The author flowed the essence of her soul through her pen straight to the pages. I especially loved the work entitled "This Reality". I highly recommend this book. Pick up a copy even if you do not like poetry, I bet you will see poetry in a whole new way!!!.

Description: When the federal agent Timothy J.Carter, undercover as an executive with an Ohio environmental firm, sets out to visit Stella Hunter, a disgraced academic, he expects to gain insight on possible causes of a recent outbreak of madness at a peaceful women's rally in Cairo.

His scarred face and a short footage of the riot are the evidence he means to use to persuade her to help him without probing his reasons. What he doesn't expect to hear is that a product of ancient myths and legends is causing these deadly riots. And that another crackpot academic spent ten years chasing after this mythological deity. But twenty-four hours later, when
a peaceful rally at the Mall in Washington disintegrates into murderous riot that leaves hundreds dead and thousands injured
.

Carter is forced to consider
the unthinkable: What if the product of ancient myths and legends somehow made it on to the US soil...?

This novel is rated as Investigator – meaning it is very good and I recommend that you read this book.

This book was a wonderful read but a bit slow at the beginning, but If you love myths and legends then this is the novel for you. Once I got passed the second chapter there was no stopping, I had to finish this book. See I love Indiana Jones and I must say that
Ribbons of Death will cure the itch for some of you Dr. Henry Watson Jr. fans. The plot is well developed and the depth of descriptions of the places, people, and culture will teleport you to Cairo. The characters are well developed and the novel is well written. You don't have to take my word for it, get your copy today and be swept away on a grand adventure. I now am a fan of Edita A. Petrick and you will see more reviews of her works by me and hopefully we will see more of
agent Timothy J. Carter in the near future.
