Hear Me Scream by R.M. James reviewed by Jenna Sands

The Author says she found inspiration for this novel at her In-Laws property in rural Kentucky. This brings to my mind the image of her sitting in a rocker on a wrap around porch gazing over vistas of fields, where fowls frolic and baby cows suckle. In the distance, she can see mushroom clouds as the world ends. Hey, I’m a writer and an artist, I have a license to make things what I will. Hear Me Scream is a Post Apocalyptic tale set in rural Kentucky. Being a post apocalyptic tale you know the world as we know it has ended. The story revolves around two story lines, Raven a young mother, looking for her lost son, taken from her at three months of age. The second is Camden. I say two story lines because all the other characters interact with them in some way or the other. Now the meat of the story is always what happens to the characters. I won’t give it away but, the action makes the read go by fast, so fast you get the end and wonder what happens next, then you ask what happened before. Lucky for us. I have it on good authority R.M is currently working on the prequel. My best advice is read the story, I don’t think I could do it justice if I tried to summarize it. A summery would just leave to much of the story out. Get the book, read it, recommend it.

My Heart Goes Out

Recently my best friend &AuthorTLGray started writing a new novel, in her research she met some interesting people who have not only become information resources but have also become friends.

One of those friends is a Peace Corps volunteer who is serving in Lesotho, South Africa. Michael Solano has dedicated his life to helping those in need. He had shared numerous cultural and societal stories of customs of life in Lesotho. I won’t go into those as some are horrifying for the cultural norm I am accustomed to. Michael as a Peace Corp representative can do nothing to change them. But there is one thing he is doing that will have a huge impact in a positive way.

The St. Denis School has no kitchen; Michael is trying to raise money to build them a kitchen. I am excited to help in any way I can. Being on a very limited fixed income, the only way I am able to help is to spread the word and hopefully bring attention to this cause.

Here are some links to get more information.
