Children of the Enchanted Forest: Needle Felted Characters With a Story to Tell

 

Children of the Enchanted Forest:

Needle Felted Characters With a Story to Tell

Dorlis and I created "The Secrets of the Enchanted Forest" as an imaginative heartfelt project, aiming to preserve and nurture the innocence and optimism of childhood. It's heartening for us to hear about initiatives that focus on positive storytelling and character development, especially in an increasingly complicated world.

Dorlis Gold's dedication to. crafting magical characters through needle felting is a unique and tactile approach to bringing these stories to life. This art form, with its detailed and hands-on nature, can create characters that are not only visually appealing but also carry a sense of warmth and personal touch.

Meanwhile, Larry Gold's role in developing stories around each character is equally crucial. By embedding optimistic themes and life lessons in these narratives, he provides an avenue for children to learn and grow. The stories' focus on expressing each character's purpose in life aligns beautifully with teaching opportunities for young minds.

The envisioned adult/child interaction with these characters and stories is a powerful aspect of the project. Storytelling has always been a fundamental way to bond, teach, and share experiences across generations. Having adults engage with children through these stories creates moments of connection, learning, and understanding. It's a reminder that stories can be bridges between the simplicity of childhood and the complexities of the adult world, fostering empathy, wisdom, and a shared sense of wonder.

Overall, "The Secrets of the Enchanted Forest" is a project that doesn't just entertain but also imparts valuable lessons and fosters meaningful connections. It was our intention through these stories and its associated crafts to protect and extend the realm of childhood innocence and optimism.

MARADONIA AND THE GUARDIANS OF THE PORTAL

by Sofia Nova

Siblings Maya and Joey are forced to embark on a perilous journey when they are shipwrecked off the coast of Maradonia. After encountering fierce warrior mermaids, the siblings find out that their only way home is through a teleportation portal . . . which doesn’t work! If they want to get home, the siblings realize they must join the mermaids and find a way to revitalize the portal before it falls into the wrong hands. Just when all seems to go smoothly, a United States military expedition arrives on the shores of Maradonia and begins their own search for the portal. To make matters even worse, the Dark Realm declares war on the mermaids. Fighting one enemy is bad enough, but contending with two invasive opponents may prove too much for the mermaids. In Maradonia and the Guardians of the Portal, Maya and Joey are in for more trouble than they ever imagined: the ultimate battle for control of the universe.

A Time for Courage

A Time for Courage is a captivating story of the lives of four soldiers struggling with their own personal convictions and human frailty at a time when the country is engaged in a great Civil War. 

In this book, you’ll meet the idealistic Private Madison Jefferson Payne, an eighteen-year-old black Union soldier who pens an inspiring letter that urges black men to join the Union army and fight for their freedom. 

You’ll ride with the dastardly Captain Daniel Barlow on secret missions behind enemy lines. You’ll have a front-row seat into his complex heart as he espouses the belief that black soldiers are inferior, and you’ll witness his secret that will be known only by you. 

You’ll sit with Lieutenant John Davenport, a former college professor who has found his lifelong passion in education, as he wrestles with internal conflict over accepting orders to start a school for black soldiers, a decision he knows is unpopular with many white officers or continue to fight in a war that only brings inevitable death and destruction to humanity. 

You’ll journey with Major James Hightower, a Confederate cavalryman, as he toils with leaving his terminally ill wife and young son to rendezvous with the legendary General Nathan Bedford Forrest and fight for a losing cause and a senseless war that could no longer be won. 

Destiny will bring these soldiers to a small, insignificant place called Fort Pillow near Memphis, Tennessee. On April 12, 1864, they will fight a little-known battle in which honor and survival hang in the balance, and the only thing that can tip the scale is their courage.

Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny

(Sci-Fi Galaxy Book 1)

LOVE AND BETRAYAL IN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER RIDE TO THE EDGE OF THE UNIVERSE.

Seven infants, conceived artificially aboard a rotating space habitat as an experiment to populate the solar system. 

A fugitive mother, anointed as an alien Priestess, determined to reunite with her children. 

A greedy mining boss set on conquering the planets and the loner who stands in his way. 

“If you like strong female characters, moral dilemmas, and stories of alien encounters, then you’ll love Jeremy Clift’s rocket-fueled narrative of romance and redemption.”

Competition for control of the lucrative interstellar asteroid mining business triggers a fight for the resources of the Moon and a hunt for an ancient crystal that could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe.

The battle embroils seven infants incubated in a lab as part of an experiment to breed inhabitants off-Earth for future space colonies and sparks a race against time to free their desperate mother held captive by the power-hungry head of a global mining consortium and his shady doctor.

Only the fragment of a distant solar system discovered in a captured asteroid has the lure to win her freedom and unlock the children’s destiny. When a greedy businessman, an unscrupulous scientist, and a power-mad general all covet its remarkable energy, one of the children spies an opportunity to orchestrate the reunion they've long desired.

In the tradition of Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, and William Gibson, "Born in Space: Unlocking Destiny" is a thought-provoking journey into the depths of space and the human spirit. For fans of "Interstellar" and "2001: A Space Odyssey," this sci-fi gem promises an unmatched immersive experience.

Call Numbers: The Not So Quiet Life of Librarians

Life is a book... and every person is a chapter. Everything's looking up for Robin Walker. It's 1994 in New York City, and he's been transferred downtown to the 58th Street Branch Library. Ready to move up the ladder, Robin is excited about the opportunities that await him. But success, personal or professional, is as elusive as a first-edition rare book. Robin struggles with his strange new work environment as this motley crew of employees generates more drama than a runaway bestseller. He doesn't know who to believe - or who to let in. And as potential romance mingles with devious machinations, there's no telling where Robin's story will go. All he knows is that he must see it through to the very last page. Call Numbers is a captivating and multilayered adult drama. Through realistic dialogue and situations, author Syntell Smith has crafted a modern-day classic about the trials and tribulations of adulthood. Because a library is usually the last place you'd expect high drama, but for these characters...it's long overdue.

Loss, Pain, and Revelations

“Life is all about turning the page.”

Robin Walker is not used to the quiet life. As a library clerk at the 58th Street Library in Manhattan, the disruptions come from office politics. But when Robin’s grandfather, Jon Walker, is found collapsed on Robin’s living room floor, Robin must brace himself for the worst. As he reaches out to family members, he holds onto slim hope that his grandfather will somehow come through.

Robin tries to find solace in his co-workers. But when his supervisor Sonyai Yi is locked in a private battle with head librarian Augustus Chavez, loyalties are tested. He’ll soon realize its not easy knowing who to trust, especially when his job could be on the line. As the days grow long and his grandfather’s time dwindles, Robin is suddenly energized when he dates Shinju, a beautiful Asian woman he saw months ago. When Shinju becomes a part of his life, Robin tries to find joy wherever he can. But it won’t be so simple, secrets are revealed, causing a great disruption that leaves the branch shattered. When this motley crew of characters finally comes together, a sudden departure leaves the library in a different place.

Book Endings: Loss, Pain, and Revelations is an absorbing slice-of-life look at characters on interlacing paths – trying to discover themselves. In this thoughtful sequel, life is what you make of it. Like books borrowed from the library of the universe, we’re only here until we must be returned to the earth… because our time is borrowed.

Meanwhile, library page Tonya Brown attempts to reconcile with her cheating boyfriend Andrew Friedman. Information assistant Angie Trueblood is given the cold shoulder by Heywood Learner, still despondent over a breakup. And former 58th Street page Janelle Simms is due to give birth and go on maternity leave, all while feuding with her parents.

Steamy Punk (Esmeralda & Escarlata)

Three intertwining erotic tales from the Esmeralda & Escarlata universe, Steamy Punk is a novella centering on:

• Mai, an exotic dancer struggling to survive in the seedy Shadow District underbelly beneath Liberty, as she sneaks into one of the Hawkmoth Syndicate nightclub afterparties to save her kidnapped sister from human traffickers.
• Anaya, a techno-terrorist leading a crew of misfits to try and thwart the rising threat of AI in the crystal-powered cyberpunk city of Commune, as she undertakes a mission to infiltrate the Sexbots Inc. factory.
• Bella, a newly ordained dominatrix-nun in the Domina Divina sisterhood that rules the gothic kingdom of Dominion, who is recruited by High-Sister Piety to spy on one of the Desert Barons plotting a coup.

As they pursue their goals, discovering unexpected alliances and growing dangers along the way — not to mention all kinds of steamy excitement — their three storylines will converge in a surprising finale.

Steamy Punk takes place shortly before the events of Esmeralda & Escarlata, serving as a world-building prequel. Mai, Anaya and Bella will also play a part later in the plot of the ongoing main series, so if you enjoy Steamy Punk, stay tuned.
