<br />
<br />
I was excited to be a part of this anthology happening and having my story, Blessed are the Merciful, accepted.<br />
<br />
I wanted to write about mercy. You may have noticed my blog name is Molten Mercy. It's hard to give mercy when you've been betrayed or harmed. It's hard to believe you can receive mercy when you've done the harm. Mercy costs. I think of what it cost Jesus to extend the mercy of God to us.<br />
<br />
I need mercy every day.<br />
<br />
So I grabbed the verse of my choice and tried to think how to illustrate mercy in a speculative fiction way, when I realized I had that story in the novel The Scarred King I: Exile. I just needed to tell the story in the viewpoint of one of the people who is not the protagonist.<br />
<br />
The other people who joined in (all were members of Realm Makers Consortium) also joined a new Facebook page where we encouraged each other and prayed and discussed covers and learned a bit more about each other. We had so much fun.<br />
<br />
And now we all hope that you have fun reading and being challenged by the anthology based on the words of Jesus Christ.<br />

It’s right on the phone in our hand. No wonder so many of us live with anxiety.”<br />Bridger: a Dystopian Serial is a science-fiction story told in episode form. It’s set in a world bled dry by global war and swiftly running out of resources. With her mental health and career in shambles, Char has left the army for a remote research facility. <br />But when a humanoid creature from another world appears, Char agrees to helm a covert mission to follow the creature back to his world. The mission: find new resources and gain an edge in the war. But an encounter with her estranged husband leaves Char torn between saving her country and saving the love she didn’t know still lived. <br />As she wrote, Geralyn felt a kinship with Char, who had given everything she had to advance her career.<br />“Char thought if she just got one more promotion, she’d feel worthy of love and respect,” Geralyn says. “In my own life, I catch myself thinking ‘if I would just lose a few pounds, if I would get nicer clothes, if I wasn’t working a deadend job—then people would like me.’”<br />But this isn’t a morality tale. Geralyn leads readers on a cross-world adventure full of danger, lies and romance.

professional. One thing I am super-excited about: I obtained a Library
of Congress Control Number for Scarred King I. I tried something new and
succeeded! I usually need to bang my head on the desk for weeks before I
succeed at something new, or else give up. I'll get blase about it as I
get such numbers for the rest of the books in the series, but right
now, YAY! That number means that libraries can order the book.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-53044235866697310302018-11-06T09:26:00.002-08:002018-11-06T09:26:50.464-08:00Story I wish I had writtenThis is an incredible story----so powerful in so few words.<br />

This is a truly fun genesis story of some interesting superheroes. If you don't like superheroes, you won't like this either, most likely. I'm often surprised when I read in a genre I don't like and find that I have again found an exception to my dislike. You might here, too.<br />
Anyway, the kids are likable and the action is fast. The book felt much like the movie Circle in some ways. I sometimes chafed at the overexplaining that went on occasionally, but then I would remind myself who the intended audience is: teenagers. The author's care to make sure the reader always knows what is going on means the reader is not likely to get lost.<br />
I highly recommend this book for the teenager in your life who likes Marvel movies.<br /><br />leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-37177663602681698702018-05-02T15:46:00.001-07:002018-05-02T15:46:18.822-07:00New Varon novelImma thinking about starting that new varon novel.

I can't figure out office politics. How am I going to figure out Game of Throne politics?<br />
John Walker came out from Peoria to visit me, and while we were, not exactly brainstorming, but discussing his novel, I had the rush that comes from an idea! I know how to have a struggle for the emperor's throne in megaloth city be prodded by deliberate miscommunication by the hive mind messenger bugs. Yes!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also finally found the box with my collection of norens in it. Now I'm trying to think where to place them. Best beloved wants some of them to go inside the front windows to help block the view of the house that has the view of the lake. He liked how I put window film on the lower parts of the east windows, thereby blocking the view of the neighbor's car repair yard but let's us see through the clear uppers the trees and skies we do like to see. Two of my favorites are still missing. Maybe I'll find them in the next fifty boxes.<br />
<br />
Well, time to get back to building the models for the Auxiliary Dwelling Unit for our autistic daughter and her caregiver. I got tired of going outside and waving at the bumpy ground while trying to figure out what best beloved means with his hand waving, so I'm building scale models. So why did I pay so many thousands of dollars three years ago for the plans we're not going to use now? I dunno, but the builder says he has a better idea. We'll see.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-63923325242335691662018-03-04T20:25:00.002-08:002018-03-04T20:25:11.987-08:00Not fun.I thought building a house would be fun.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-83029237950588629822018-01-18T09:54:00.001-08:002018-01-18T09:54:36.932-08:00Tried something newI'm feeling thrilled that I tried something new.

A.J. Bakke is going to be a guest speaker. I think the class of 13 homeschoolers will really like her and her books like The Hidden Level.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-19049666039096081242017-10-23T12:45:00.002-07:002017-10-23T12:45:14.307-07:00Moving aheadAs we prepare for the launch of the Tales from Talifar series, I've made an author page for Rose Foreman, the name I am using in the series, on Facebook.<br />

Sometimes I have lots of energy and am productive. This is not one of those times. I don't know if it's due to breathing in the air of a state that is burning down or the enervating heat. Whatever. I will eventually finish this.<br /><br />leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-57077340744984906152017-08-14T10:37:00.003-07:002017-08-14T10:37:41.326-07:00Now Making One for AdultsRealmMakers was soooo incredible. I love that conference so much. Anyway, as a result, I am making a website for the textbook Writing Speculative Fiction: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror. And because somebody asked, and it seemed like a good idea, I am also making a self-paced adult version.<br />
And Travis Perry is holding my hand and fixing all the things I broke while trying to make a website.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-15584458731831714162017-07-25T18:12:00.001-07:002017-07-25T18:12:47.675-07:00Leaving for RealmMakers 2017I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling nervous about leaving something important behind when I fly to RealmMakers 2017 tomorrow. Everybody there is my friend or friendly. I will be selling the textbook Writing Speculative Fiction: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror which has excerpts from many of the attendees. The textbook is aimed at homeschoolers and 30-40 percent of the attendees are involved in homeschooling. Ah, I know, I'll be selling Advanced Reader Copies because I thought I could skip the proof copy step of publishing. I was in a hurry to get it ready in time for RealmMakers, and the publisher had hired a proofreader. And I was EXCITED.<br />
Lesson learned: don't skip that step. I've printed up Addenda that I'll be inserting in the books but there's not much I can do about the egregious typos in a book about writing.......<br />
The publisher has downloaded the corrected versions. I don't know how many of the typo-heavy versions were sold. What I feel worse about is the half of the contributors I left out of the recommended lists and the index after I promised the writers I would put them in there. They're there now, and there's the addenda.<br />
If I make a textbook for the second semester, I'll be sure to add at least one chapter on publishing decisions, probably using myself as the example of what not to do.<br />
And then to make sure I'll never become arrogant, yesterday I discovered two typos on the back cover. I need grace.leliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09322159218521168878noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987878661178693781.post-62516656554264026742017-07-19T08:43:00.001-07:002017-07-19T08:43:34.920-07:00Skies of Dripping Gold<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28002933-skies-of-dripping-gold" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px;"><img alt="Skies of Dripping Gold" border="0" src="https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1448727167m/28002933.jpg" /></a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28002933-skies-of-dripping-gold">Skies of Dripping Gold</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14716209.Hannah_Heath">Hannah Heath</a><br /><br />My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2065309030">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /><br />Allegories often leave me cold.

https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Speculative-Fiction-Science-Fantasy-ebook/dp/B073JW7YQ1/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1498934357&sr=1-3&keywords=Lelia+Rose+Foreman<br />
Print should show up for sale in a couple days. I ordered some print versions to take to Preview Night at a homeschool resource center where I volunteered to teach the class. Parents and students will be meeting us to see what classes we offer. I hope a lot sign up for mine.<br />
I feeling just a little panicked or maybe more than a little. I'm also ordering the books to take to RealmMakers. How many should I bring? I think maybe half the people there would want to buy the textbook. But what if I'm wrong. If I take 15 Teacher editions and 10 Student editions, will I sell out, or will I need to be dragging books through the airport when the conference is over?<br />
