What is AWE?
Awe
Imagine standing on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. The bloodred gorge stretches as far as you
can see in every direction. The canyon
floor drops precipitously below your feet. You feel dizzy and step back from
the edge. Hawks circle through rock
crevasses so barren and stripped of vegetation you could as well be on the
moon. You are amazed. You are humbled. You feel elevated. This is awe.
From ’Contagious’ by Jonah Berger
(I thought the author put it so well, had to share!)
LORE Storyboard V
The final boards for Lore of Arcana!
Note: these were prepared before the release of The Drowned Throne, but internet issues prevented the uploading - number 4 is therefore inaccurate, but I'm sure you'll forgive me ;)

Over Exposure by Poppet
This is the third book in the Darkroom series, and it is as
vivid and thought provoking as the first two! In Over Exposure we resume
Shauna’s tale after she has lost both husband and baby, and is ‘rescued’ by God
himself. It is now time to condition Shauna to the ways of a vengeful God…
The torture this poor woman endures! It’s enough for this
reader to wish herself right into the pages themselves to capture and torture
this fool who calls himself ‘God’, to rescue Shauna myself!!!! Argh, how
furious I got while reading this!
Yes, this engenders high emotion, and it’s a well-structured
tale, too. The story moves onward swiftly … and there are a few surprises along
the way to keep you guessing. Will Shauna overcome her conditioning? Will Seth
find his inner strength? Will Jude be successful in restoring the Angel of
Vengeance to life? Will God receive his comeuppance?
A mixture of the high-tech present and ancient lore, this is
a story that makes you think, but beyond that it also makes you feel. Highly
HIGHLY recommended!
By the way, there’s a lovely twist in the end, and I wonder
which finale you would choose. Read Over Exposure to find out what that means!
And then, together, we can look forward to Sinnergog, the
next book in the series…
