My writing relates to the stresses of people ages 13 to 25 as well as older adults.
Thoughtful. Encouraging. Spiritual.
With the life that God grants me, I want to use my creativity to encourage people to desire a realm beyond the merely physical, like J. R. R. Tolkien did for me. Also, I want to point people to where they can find Him, as C. S. Lewis did when I was an atheist. I am now following Jesus,, and I don’t look back.
There are only 4 chapters to go on THE HORNED EDGE. I’m at the climax of the story! Getting the action into my manuscript is now like scraping the last delicious bite of chocolate cake off the plate.
I’ve planned out the story, visualized the settings and the action, and have a dramatic ending in mind.
May you totally enjoy in later 2023.
The Hot Marble —
Written by Mac
I like Science Fiction (Dune Series, Lord of the Rings, Narnia/CS Lewis) as well as Historical Fiction. The Hot Marble is well planned and executed in that today’s world many kids are thrown into real life as the characters in the book experience. Kids are put in situations that they aren’t planned to handle and Mrs. Althoff shows that well.
My favorite character is Lewis. He has a knack for useable knowledge. He tries to take responsibility (sometimes it doesn’t work in his favor). All of the characters have struggles just as we do.
There is a lot of good action in the book. As a guy that isn’t that much of a reader, it has plenty of action that keeps me turning the page to see what happens next.
I don’t want to give away any plotlines, but I was pretty upset when a character was “killed off”. I know that this happens in many books, but when you grow to like a character and identify with them it doesn’t make it any easier.
This is a great book.
The Cave Chamber —
Written by Dianne Miley
If you enjoy science fiction, other worlds, and romance, you’ll love this story. It’s the sequel to The Hot Marble with plenty of action, suspense, and symbolism that points to our creator and spiritual warfare in the natural world. Thank you, Rosemary Althoff, for sharing your brilliant imagination with us!
