A Short Story by: Antonia Tiranth Genre: Fantasy Release: February 1, 2011 Editor: Penny Ehrenkranz Line Editor: Christine I. Speakman Cover artist: Delilah K. Stephans Word count: 6605 Pages: 24 ISBN: 978-1-926931-33-3 E-book price: $2.50 Blurb: Excerpt: The sun had not moved far when he heard the faint sounds of a jingling harness and wagon wheels. He knew he should try to hide but was too exhausted to really care. Soon, the boy’s face appeared above him. “My mum says it's not a good idea to move you yet, so I brought her with me. She is going to patch you up,” the boy said, worry tingeing his voice. Larien couldn’t help but smile. There seemed to be nothing treacherous about this boy. His concern was obvious. Unable to keep his eyes open any longer, Larien gave into the blackness. * * * * “Mum!” Cody called urgently, thinking the elf dead. “Hurry!” His mother rushed through the grass and knelt. “Be still Cody, he yet breathes.” Cody nodded, seeing now the faint rise and fall of the elf’s chest. “Can you help him?” “I can, I believe, although I’ve no experience in working with such a one,” she murmured, examining the wound, carefully lifting the tattered edge of the material around the arrow shaft. “We must get this armor and shirt off him. I will have to cut out the arrowhead. We cannot risk pulling it out if it is jagged. Help me with the armor; then give me your knife, Cody. I'm afraid I have little numbing salve.” The boy looked for the armor straps and found them at the elf's sides. He undid the straps, and carefully, they lifted the front of the armor so what remained of the arrow shafts slid out of the holes. Once the armor was off, Cody handed over his knife, watching while his mother carefully cut through the fabric of the elf's shirt, pushing it aside. Cody felt a brief guilt for cutting such fine material, but life was certainly more important than a bit of cloth. His mother inhaled in surprise at the ugly purple and black bruises on the elf’s shoulder. The arrow wounds were not his only injuries. Putting aside Cody's knife and taking another finer knife from a sheath at her belt, she paused, just touching the elf's smooth skin. “Be sure to hold him.”Reviews: coming soon

Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
