With Merlin's Kin, Everett Coles took me into a world I once dreamed of, filled with strange and beautiful creatures,fair maidens and chivalrous deeds. But more than that he made me believe it.
The story builds slowly as it tells how the teenagers got there, into Greensward, and how they have no idea how to leave or why they are there. It shows them making friends and enemies in equal measure until the group are separated and the story gathers pace.
By the end I was quite breathless with the pace, with wonderfully worked plot changes and the power of the Ley lines bringing out its own sort of magic. So much more satifying than Harry Potter not as dark as Pullman when is the next one due?

Not that I didn't expect a lot from Simona Taylor after reading her first one, but this one had great romance and a thrilling adventure. And of course another fabulous guy.

When Christian (the fabulous guy) returns to Trinidad and runs into Sean who left him six years ago on their engagement night, the book takes off. And that's in the first chapter. I don't want to give it all away, but when a political coup puts them in danger I coulnd't put this one down. Kudos! Ms. Taylor. Hurry up and get your next one out.

T.H. Culhane walks the walk and talks the talk and that is something refreshing when it comes to both energy politics and third world development. In his message from California, where he lived off the grid at the Los Angeles Eco-Village for three years, T.H. helped New Yorkers deal with their power outages by championing the use of decentralized do-it-yourself energy sources (solar, wind, bicycle generators). Now T.H. is in Cairo Egypt, working with the poorest of the poor, building solar hot water systems in the "city of the sun" (the former "Heliopolis") out of local and recycled materials with the Zabaleen (garbage collector class) and spreading a message of can-do optimism that brings Arab and American culture together to forge a true "Homeland Security" for all homes and all lands. If you dig T.H.'s message from California on green energy then I am sure you will enjoy his message from Cairo, found on his blog at [...]. It is truly refreshing to hear about possible energy policies for all of us from someone who lives his principles and knows what he is talking about!

What can be said? E.W. Taylor absolutely nails the syndrome of the girl who has it all, but just can't remember where she put it! A brilliant combination of academic rigor and practical accessibility!

Well I am a very powerful computer programmer now, even though I do not have either college, or university degree. I am working on a bachelors degree at the University of Berkley.

The author, Amanda Kipp, really brings to life the potential threats that the electronic society brings to the Internet-driven consumer world. This article is just as pertinent today as in 1999. Kudos to Kipp, and I'll continue reading her work!

It is always interesting to hear someone who is not an Ottoman expert or one who hasn't studied the material to label the massacres of Armenians, which were all isolated incidents resulting from Armenian-Christian tensions, as an "Armenian Genocide". For an event or massacre to be genocide, there must be some sort of intent by the government or an ethnic group to exterminate the other group. There was no such hate or intent documented by anyone. In fact, the Ottoman government tried it's best to encourage the ceasing of massacres and even relocated the Armenians away from the massacres and violence since the Ottoman government could not differentiate between the honest, hard-working Armenian, and the secretive Armenian rebel, collecting arms, and damaging Ottoman communication lines and supply routes.

Buy this essay and give it a read, hearing both sides to a story riddled with propaganda is the democratic way.

Well, I have to give this story five stars because I wrote it and sold it to Humpty Dumpty in 1994. What a surprise to find it for sale on Amazon. It's a great story for little ones and suggests a fun activity for children just learning their ABC's.

This is a brilliantly written chidren's story! It's so funny and sweet- I love the message of it as well. When I read "Moonpaws..." as a child, it really struck a chord w/ me. The story shows you that greed leads to loss. It also taught me about unconditional love between families. Thanks for making it available on this site- super cool, you guys!
