Hannah Gunner, once a carefree child, is faced with secrets, lies, and betrayal. A life-changing event during her adolescent years forces her to confront a past that she no longer recognizes. Now, questioning everything she thought she knew, Hannah struggles with the person she is supposed to be! With the help of her boyfriend and her closest friend, they discover several clues that may hold the missing links to her life.

A tattered box filled with worn-out letters holds some of the answers that she needs, but not all of them. With an assist from her aunt, and a visitor from her past, Hannah manages to track down the only person in the world who can answer her questions—the Captain! But why did those closest to her lie in the first place? Will Hannah ever find the answers that she needs to bring her peace? 

Suspenseful, engaging, and with twists and turns that make it impossible to put down, this is a book filled with surprises.

It's always interesting to see if people have the same likes and dislikes as 'you.' 

Some of my favorite places, things, likes, and dislikes, are the following: 

1.          Love to visit the beach but wouldn't want to live there full time.
2.          Love the woods but scared of them at night. 
3.          Love silence. Doesn't bother me a bit.
4.          Love to stay busy, that includes my mind, being still is difficult for me.
5.          Love to look at the color 'green' specifically as in pastures, grass, trees, nature, yet green isn't anywhere near one of my favorite colors. 
6.          Love to hear my children and grandchildren laugh. 
7.          Love a good ol' fashioned P.B. & J.
8.          Dislike indecisiveness.

FlashBack Friday - Sybrina Songs


I don't think about it much anymore 
but my first writing passion was 
"song writing".  

There was a time when I would write and write and sing and sing.  I wanted to be a singer more than anything in the world but things just didn't work out that way.  The music is still there, though, for anyone who might want to listen.  

If you'd like to hear, just go to Sybrina Songs and you can listen to a bunch of them for free.  Click on the Song Video links for the free versions. 

 I apologize in advance for the pretty awful videos but the music might make up for the visuals.

Happy Listening.  :)

Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale Reader Review by Tracy Tranor


  Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale

 Reader Review by Tracy Tranor


A fun, witty, and colorful (in many ways) story that both kids and adults will enjoy. Kids will especially enjoy the action and antics of the unicorns, while adults will grasp a deeper meaning revealed throughout the story: the beauty and harshness of nature and our environment. I especially liked the humorous use of words throughout the story. For example: Do you know what a "Pendragon" really is? Quite clever, unique, and entertaining.
