Exploring Narnia in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

Over the last several months, my son and I have been dipping our imaginations in Narnian lore. We continued our journey across the eastern sea with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, trailing Caspian and the children across the sea in a quest to find the missing men of Caspian's father's court.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader captured the best parts of a seafaring adventure. Overflowing with monsters, sea people, magic and mystery, this book is on par with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as an exploitative adventure for youngsters.

In it, Eustace replaces Edmond as the self-absorbed troublemaker, allowing Edmond's character to show how he's grown since becoming a king of Narnia. There were quite a few places where the story veered off from how the movie portrayed it, at least as I remember the film from watching it over the years. The book is undeniably better.

Don't Wait

I awoke Friday morning to a message from someone whose name was only vaguely familiar. Laying in bed, scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone, I opened the message. It was a quick note from a woman who was good friends with a woman who I have been close to for over a decade. I read it, and reeled with shock. My friend, a woman who had been with me through the best and worst of times, is gone. Taken from this life because of a driver who didn't stop at a stop sign on a country road. "Accidents happen," many say. It's true, but it isn't right. We never know when our time is going to be up. Today might be your last day, or mine. There's no way of predicting what will happen tomorrow... this evening... fifteen minutes from now. There are many tragedies stemming from this simple accident. First, a mother with fierce love of her two teenage children was stolen from them. A woman who was a pillar of support for so many has fallen from their list of who to cal...

Only Two Weeks Left

Well, I've made it through the first month of fundraising for my novel, Age / Sex / Location and the fundraising process continues to surprise me! Through the generous backing of 8 individuals, $600 of the $5,000 I need has been raised so far and I've been told that there are more people waiting for the suspense to build a little more before adding their donation to the mix. The project has been humbling and inspiring so far; reconnecting me with old friends who are interested in what "that crazy Denise" is up to and prompting others to make steps toward realizing their dreams as well! It is wonderful to know that whether this fundraiser is a financial success or not, there are people out there who believe in me and who take comfort in knowing that they are watching me as an encouragement in their own projects. There is still another $4,400 to raise, and my Mom has offered to get purple highlights once the fundraiser hits the goal as an incentive to anyone who...

It has been years of writing, months of editing, and a lifetime of wishful thinking... and finally the dream has come true. Age/Sex/Location is now available in e-reader format on Amazon.com , Smashwords.com , and will be coming soon to BarnesandNoble.com . It is very exciting, and I feel truly blessed to have come this far with my dream of becoming an author. I sincerely thank all of you for your encouragement, support, and cheer-leading.
