Latticework Teaser: African Moon
Lattice 3: African Moon
Mozart
delves into his famous clarinet concerto and she feels her body relax. Out of Africa indeed. That is African
sun out there, although in cosmopolitan surroundings. Cape Town on a hot day.
Sun worshippers and cell phones, bling and gourmet treats. It could be the
French Riviera, for pity’s sake. Karen Blixen would turn in her grave, for
certain.

Latticework Teaser: Fox Tale
Lattice 2: Fox Tale
The fox is
a few paces behind her. When she stops so does he. Animals should not talk, not
in an ordinary existence, but this is Beam, and nothing is ever as it seems.
Animals should not mindspeak, but when was that ever written into law?
“Fine, Sir
Fox.” She pushes the oak staff firmly into the earth again. “Speak to the
wand.”
Tawny eyes
flicked over the staff. That grants you a
mere ten questions. I am prepared to answer far more, if only to ease your
mind.

Latticework Teaser: Sentinels
Lattice 1: Sentinels
She flies between two pale trees and enters a small dark
room. These unheralded shifts occur in a watcher’s world, and thus is she not
surprised. The choir and this place are connected, and it is her task to know
how and why.
Four men in black clothes sit around a pillar severed at
chest height, and they are the ones humming. Hoods hide them as chests rise and
fall to the needs of breath and music. The music, the scene and the men instil
a darkness in the watcher’s heart. She senses danger.

Destiny wants a sacrifice!
The Tinsal Deck is a mystical deck of tarot cards that effect the fates of many. Zanderin is the darkest influence haunting the streets yet his enigmatic charisma sets him apart, marking him as supreme. He has so many secrets, the greatest one of all is known by the witch Bronwyn. She desires him not just for his abilities as an occultist, but also for the blood flowing in his veins.
The victims run, hide, and converge, and ultimately destiny wants a sacrifice, but fate is not cast in Tinsal stone.

Thunderous Cacophony
Excerpt - The Tinsal Deck:
In the hill country, far beyond the Merripens
and their landscaped garden, up in the slopes where mist hangs, the kind that
Terra favours for romance and inspiration, there is a stone hut hidden amongst
other stones, shaded by trees great and leafy all year. Unless you know of it,
you will not find it.
Nearby,
a waterfall tumbles into the wide river below, its thunderous cacophony serving
to conceal the inadvertent noises which accompany habitation.
An ancient
axe hangs above the skewed lintel, but its edge, upon close inspection, is
revealed as sharp. Clearly someone does not trust to isolation alone.

Planet Fruitcake!
Here's my review for Poppet's Soul Cypher! Too hilarious!
Planet Fruitcake! Yes, indeed, this is exactly where one
goes when delving into the pages of Soul Cypher! I read loads of Poppet books,
but this one is different, this one is a laugh a second, a snort of surprise
every moment. From ‘teletubbies’ and purple alcohol to Reaper the guard ‘dog’
and insane gods, this is a crazy adventure.
Love Taniya’s voice! Really, really wish I have the gumption
she has, the ability to totally speak her mind and never mind the consequences!
Understand, though, folk will be looking at you as if you are utterly mad when
you begin to giggle … never mind, Amrak will zap them!
Seriously folks, looking for something different? Soul
Cypher is it. Loads of laughs, hugely clever, and an awesome quest also. Brilliant!
