SINKING by Sarah Armstrong-Garner // Book Review + DRIFTING Blog Tour


Good day, m'dear Dragons! Today, I'm delighted to share a book review (and some other pretty cool stuff 😉) in honor of Sarah Armstrong-Garner's latest release, Drifting!

I had the honor of reading and reviewing Sinking for this tour, and let me tell y'all... IT'S QUITE THE ADVENTURE. 😻 I won't fangirl too much (that's what the book review's for 😉), but you get the idea -- IT'S AWESOME. Without further ado, here's Sinking...

ABOUT SINKING


BOOK ONE OF THE SINKING TRILOGY

Jocelyn washes up on the shore of eighteenth century Ireland, alone, naked, and missing all of her memories. Taken in by a lonely old woman full of plots and schemes for the lovely yet enigmatic creature, Jocelyn knows only one thing. She longs for the sea with every ounce of her being. Yet it tried to kill her.

Aidan Boyd loves two things. His ship and the sea. When Jocelyn is thrust upon his vessel in the midst of his superstitious crew, he finds himself intoxicated by her -- willing to give up everything for her. He soon finds he cannot live without her.

But something holds Jocelyn back. The whisper of another's love. The embrace of water. Does she belong to this world? Or could Jocelyn possibly be from the sea?



ABOUT DRIFTING


BOOK TWO OF THE SINKING TRILOGY

The adventure continues...

Jocelyn plunges into the ocean near Calcutta, India, thrown overboard by a man claiming it's the only way to save her life. As she sinks, the transformation begins, and the ocean welcomes her back into its embrace.

Aidan Boyd thought the only way to save Jocelyn was to give her back to the ocean, but now he's not so sure. Aidan doesn't believe in mermaids, but he can't explain the way she changed. Will he see Jocelyn again? Or has he condemned her to a watery grave?

Jocelyn drifts in a world she'd forgotten only to find she's hunted by a deadly force from the ancient city of Thessa, the reason she was hidden in the world above. But she cannot get Aidan out of her head. Was what they shared real? Or was it a fantasy brought on by her unconscious need to seduce a human?

Both Aidan and Jocelyn begin a desperate and dangerous journey to discover the truth... and hopefully each other. But will their love be enough?



BOOK REVIEW // SINKING

★★★★☆

Jocelyn can't remember a thing -- not even her real name.

When she wakes up on the shores of eighteenth century Ireland, beaten and battered by the ocean waves, she is taken in by a widowed noblewoman... but the lady might have plans of her own.

THIS BOOK, Y'ALL. Mermaids, Ireland, sci-fi trinkets, and the 1700s? Sign me up!

The characters were all so realistic, but Aidan... *swoons* I don't think I've ever read of a male hero quite like him!

Jocelyn was fascinating. It was so interesting watching her grow from a naive yet bold little heroine to a strong and courageous young woman!

I loved the adventurous aspect of this book! With twists and turns aplenty, Sinking makes for a thrilling new read! Travel from the British Isles to India and across the ocean; be prepared to set sail on an epic journey through stormy seas and still waters -- you'll be gripping the edge of your seat!

You may want to know: I'd recommend this book for ages 16+, due to some implications, mild violence, and rather steamy kisses (which were a bit beyond my comfort level).

Goodreads and Merikthorne Library reviews forthcoming.

THE STORY PEDDLER by Lindsay A. Franklin // Blog Tour, Interview, Invitation, & Giveaway


HELLO, MY DRAGONS. 💕 I am SO EXCITED to be here today, to share about an epic new story with y'all -- The Story Peddler by Lindsay A. Franklin, releasing May 1st from Enclave Publishing! 😍😍😍

 This book, y'all... I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. I am so, crazy excited for it to release! Magic, treason, storytelling... "Selling stories is a deadly business." 💗 Without further ado, The Story Peddler:

ABOUT THE BOOK


BOOK ONE OF THE WEAVER TRILOGY

Selling stories is a deadly business.

Tanwen doesn't just tell stories -- she weaves them into crystallized sculptures that sell for more than a few bits. But the only way to escape the control of her cruel mentor and claw her way from poverty is to set her sights on something grander: becoming Royal Storyteller to the king.

During her final story peddling tour, a tale of treason spills from her hands, threatening the king himself. Tanwen goes from peddler to prey as the king's guards hunts her down... and they're not known for their mercy. As Tanwen flees for her life, she unearths long-buried secrets and discovers she's not the only outlaw in the empire. There's a rebel group of weavers... and they're after her too.




CHRISTIANBOOK.COM


INTERVIEW

Hello, Lindsay! I'm SO excited to have you here with us, today! First off, would you mind introducing yourself and The Story Peddler?

Hi, Liv and friends! I'm Lindsay, and I'm a full-time author, part-time editor, part-time homeschooling mom of three geeklings, full-time regular mom of the same geeklings plus three fabulous felines, and full-time wife of almost eighteen years. The Story Peddler is the tale of Tanwen, an ambitious young storyteller trying to work her way up to a royal position. But when wild story strands burst from her hands during a public story-peddling tour, accusing the king of treachery, Tanwen finds out just how deadly a business selling stories can be.

If you could pick one message for your readers to gain from The Story Peddler, what would it be?

Honor your God-given gifts, whatever they may be. There is hope and light and humor and healing to be found in even the darkest of circumstances. There are more, but I'll stop, lest I begin to sound like a fortune cookie. *grins*

If you could spend an afternoon having tea with one character from The Story Peddler, who would it be and why?

Ooh, this is tough! Tanwen would be the most fun. But Princess Braith would have the best tea in Urian. Brac's mam would have excellent hathberry tea from her garden, but I don't think Brac presents the best option for good conversation...

Without any / too many spoilers (😉), what was your favorite part of The Story Peddler's writing process?

I wrote three different versions of The Story Peddler. The last major revision was completed about three years ago, and in that revision, my agent challenged me to dig into the emotional lives of my characters more because it seemed like that was missing. She didn't know it, but I'd been dealing with really tough emotional stuff in real life and my writing at the time reflected my reluctance to dive into that stuff in my own heart. So in that third revision, I went there, and you'll see even more of that in The Story Peddler's sequel. It's healing to deal with that tough stuff in a fictional space, so while it was the hardest part of writing The Story Peddler, it was also my favorite.

What is something you wish you knew as a young author that you'd like to share now?

It's important to find your own voice as a storyteller. When we're learning to write novels, it's normal and natural to pull from our influences and tell stories like the masters we love. But if you're a storyteller, you have something unique to share with the world in a way only you can say it. Find that. Nurture it. That's what makes you you and that's what will make people talk about your writing and want to journey alongside you as you take them on fantastic adventures.

Thank you so much for your time, Lindsay! It's been a pleasure to have you here! 💖

Thank you so much for having me! 💕

8 Steps for a Better Night's Sleep


IT'S OFFICIALLY EXAM SEASON!!!! Which means "yaay!" bc SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT but also tears bc NOBODY LIKES EXAMS.

Image result for laugh cry gif
{Source.}

⮙⮙ Current mood, right there. ⮙⮙

Besides preparing well and eating a hearty breakfast on Exam Day™, one of the best exam-related pieces of advice I've ever received is to get plenty of sleep the night before the test. And because REST IS AWESOME and May = the month of AP exams, SATs, and state testing (😱😱😱), I guess you know what I'll be talking about... I'm proud to present: my favorite evening routine for a better night's sleep. 💤

Also, shoutout to Ella Marie @ February Fairy for her evening routine post, which inspired this one! Go check out her blog, Dragons -- IT'S AMAZING! 💟

Now, on to the post... 😉

SWITCH YOUR DEVICES TO
AIRPLANE MODE + STORE THEM AWAY

SOCIAL MEDIA IS SO TEMPTING. Right before bed, at the end of the day, that nagging temptation to just hop on Facebook for a quick moment, or Instagram to see what your best friend is doing, or Twitter to see if there are any new notifications... THE LIST GOES ON. Switching your devices to airplane mode and storing them away in a purse/backpack or desk drawer will lessen the temptation to check "just one more time," and ultimately provide your eyes with a well-needed rest.


EXCHANGE YOUR MUSIC FOR WHITE NOISE

I think most of us can agree that MUSIC IS JUST AMAZING. From those enchanting notes flow sweet songs that can alter our mood and provide (or take away) inspiration. MUSIC = MAGIC. But right before bed, it's easy to get caught up in song selection or humming along to the lyrics. So exchange your music for white noise! This can be a fan, a heater, a machine -- anything that has a steady rhythm to give your mind something consistent and lulling to focus on.


BRUSH/COMB YOUR HAIR & REMOVE ALL MAKEUP

Makeup makes all the difference in a good night's sleep. Half-asleep, rubbing at smeared mascara and enraged glitter is no way to spend a night. Remove all makeup, wash your face, and give your hair a thorough brushing for a neat, natural sleep.


GET READY FOR BED

Do whatever you need to do. Brush your teeth, slide your retainer into place, dose yourself in lotion, load the dishwasher -- whatever "get ready for bed" means to you. 😉


PLAN THE DAY-TO-COME / WRITE IN YOUR DIARY

If you have anything to jot down, do it now. This can be planning tomorrow, adding that meeting to your schedule, or doing a quick summary of your day. This will drag any nagging thoughts out and onto paper.


SPEND ALONE-TIME WITH GOD

Now comes Bible time. 💕 Spend alone-time with God; tell Him your worries, your concerns. Pray for tomorrow, thank Him for today. Review a verse or sing a song. Spending time with the Savior restores peace, renews our relationship with Him, and further strengthens our bond. Plus, there are so many people to pray for! I'm certain God loves our quality time more than we could ever comprehend. 💗


STRETCH

A few minutes of sit-ups or yoga relieves tension and strengthens your body. Happy muscles lead to an even happier sleep. 😉


TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, GET COZY, & READ

Now is the time to get cozy. ♡ Flick off the lights, slide into bed, and read for a while. Soon, you'll be fast asleep and dreaming sweet dreams...


REMEMBER TO...
  • Have your lights out at a decent hour. None of this "after midnight" business!
  • Pray. Turn to God for peace-of-mind.
  • Get your bags ready. Your morning will flow much more smoothly when all your pencils are sharpened, water bottles are in place, and electronics are on vibrate.
  • Prepare a cold breakfast. A pre-made breakfast will make your morning faster and easier. You'll need that fuel for the exam!
  • Relax. Tests are just a thing, and God's got your back. 💓


Have I missed anything? What tips do you have for a better night's sleep?

Beautiful People: The Farewell Edition ft. Radha O'Connor & Keyan Baudin


HELLO MY AWESOME DRAGON-NINJAS 💖💖💖
// link-up info.

For the past few years, Cait @ Paper Fury and Sky @ Further Up & Further In have hosted Beautiful People, a monthly series of questions designed to better acquaint authors with their characters. Last Thursday, they announced this April as Beautiful People's final chapter (TEARSSSS 😭😭😭), with the possibility of epilogues in the distant future (PLEASE 😍😍😍).

I'm so sad to see Beautiful People go, but I also totally understand the need to let something go as a result of a busy life. 💝 And there's always the archives, when the need for new questions arises!

Today, I'll be tackling Beautiful People: the Farewell Edition for Radha O'Connor, the MC of When the Sky Cries (a story I REALLY MISS RN 💔... but Camp NaNoWriMo must come first), along with the March 2015 edition for Keyan, the MC of The Scent of the Stars (my Camp NaNo novella). With no further comments, let's dive in!


THE FAREWELL EDITION // RADHA O'CONNOR

WHEN THE SKY CRIES

{Source.}

1. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GENRE TO WRITE IN?

Non-magic, medieval high fantasy (very specific, I know 😂) will always have my heart. 💕

2. WHAT BOOK (A REAL, ACTUAL, PUBLISHED BOOK!) DO YOU THINK YOUR CHARACTER WOULD BENEFIT FROM READING?

This is a crazy hard question, bc I can't think of a book that tackles the issues Radha does! Maybe Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl???

3. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE OF DIALOGUE (THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN)?

Well (*laughs awkwardly*), dialogue isn't my favorite thing ever, so I'm a little hesitant to share, but... because I love you guys 😉, here's a snippet from a scene I stored away for When the Sky Cries's sequel:

The helmet was lifted off her face, and Radha stared, eyes small and tired.
“Archduchess? Oh, thank God!”
Radha blinked; a scrawny, fair-haired young man who resembled a trembling puppy stood over her, grinning.
Radha scowled. “What’s your name?”
The puppy’s eyes widened. “You do not remember my name, Your Majesty?”
She slowly shook her head, but a series of letters hurled themselves at her. “...Kettle’s Birth?”
“Caddlesworth, Your Majesty.”
“Caddlesworth?” A portion of the haze disintegrated. “Oh, titanium wolves in the stars -- Caddlesworth!”
Caddlesworth grinned once more, but his nose was small, something Radha took to mean he was worried.
“I’m fine, Kettle’s Birth.”
“Caddlesworth, Your Majesty.”
“Yes, Caddlesworth.”

4. WHAT DID YOUR CHARACTER WANT TO BE WHEN THEY GREW UP, AND WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY BECOME?

Radha wants to be a knight! And while it's a bit of a spoiler to reveal what she does become (since the story is centered around her life as a teenager, and she doesn't become what she becomes until later on, in the books to follow*), I will say that it's better than she's ever dreamed. 😉

*Wow, great wording, Liv. 😂😂😂

5. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER NAMES?

Almost all my favorite character names come from this story! Hyla, Maelor, and Falconer are some of my tops, though. 😍 (Hyla's an apprentice-physician, Maelor's the castle treasurer, and Falconer's Radha's lady-in-waiting.)

6. WHAT MAKES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL LOVED, AND WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON TO MAKE THEM FEEL THAT WAY?

HUGS. 💕 Since the next draft of When the Sky Cries has been put on hold, there's no definite person to hug Radha, but the two people who hug her the most would probably be Gilmore (the knights' commander) and Blackwood (a neighboring king + one of Maelor's besties).*

*For the sake of potential concern, I would like to note that Gilmore and Blackwood are not creeps... hugs are just their love language, too. 😉😊

7. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER (THAT YOU'VE WRITTEN)?

Definitely Radha! She's just so human, and probably the most relatable character I've ever written (idk if that's saying much 😜, but I love her 😊).

8. IF YOUR CHARACTER WERE PERMANENTLY LEAVING TOWN, WHAT WOULD SHE EASILY THROW OUT? WHAT WOULD SHE REFUSE TO PART WITH? WHY?

She'd probably throw out most of her dresses (bc if she were leaving town, she'd need britches to conquer all the tiresome walking/travel), but she'd keep her sword! Her view of sensibility is primarily what comes into play, here. 😉

9. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE TROPES TO WRITE?

I don't have many favorite tropes -- most of them feel pretty overused to me (🙈), but one I will always love is THE ARRANGED MARRIAGE TROPE. The escape from (a) the creep, (b) the romantic, (c) the dude the heroine actually ends up falling for... ARRANGED MARRIAGES (in fiction) ARE JUST THE BEST. 😍

10. WHICH STORY HAS YOUR HEART AND WON'T LET GO?

This one, without a doubt! I wrote a teensy, very poorly written novella back when I was about eleven or twelve, and then it morphed into an unfinished 100k second draft a couple months later, and now it's a third-draft-waiting-to-happen with three sequels I expect to write afterwards. (I'd say it's grown a little. 😂)

11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER RELATIONSHIP?

Aaaagh, HOW DO I CHOOSE?! In When the Sky Cries, alone? Without taking any of the sequels into account? Maaaaybe Radha's relationship with her father, King Firman? She looks up to him a lot and wants to follow in his footsteps, but isn't sure how.

12. TONI MORRISON ONCE SAID, "IF THERE'S A BOOK YOU WANT TO READ, BUT IT HASN'T BEEN WRITTEN YET, THEN YOU MUST WRITE IT." WHAT ARE THE BOOKS THAT YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF, AND WHAT "HOLES" DO YOU THINK NEED FILLING IN THE LITERARY WORLD?

Non-magic, medieval, Christian fantasy with intense worldbuilding + little/no romance! (That's... surprisingly specific. I think I just scared myself a little. 😛)

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PINTEREST BOARD / AESTHETIC FOR A BOOK?

My board for this story (When the Sky Cries is just MY FAVORITE THING EVER, okay?! 😍😍😍).

14. WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE TIME PERIODS / SETTINGS TO WORK WITH?

The middle ages, in Repel, where When the Sky Cries takes place. I'd say medieval Europe, too, but... I prefer Repel bc I don't have to worry about how historically accurate everything is. 😂

15. WHEN PEOPLE ARE DONE READING YOUR BOOK, WHAT FEELING DO YOU WANT THEM TO COME AWAY WITH?

Hope. Tears of happiness. The feeling they're not alone. 💗


MARCH 2015 EDITION // KEYAN BAUDIN

THE SCENT OF THE STARS

{Source.}

1. WHAT IS HER SECRET DESIRE?

To have a family! Ultimately, Keyan's dream is to be an engineer/mathematician... but she'd love to have someone to help individually. 💕

2. DURING THE STORY, WHAT IS HER BEST AND BRIGHTEST MOMENT?

Well, that's a bit of a spoiler! 😉 I will say that she has a moment during which she can choose her own path, or sacrifice her dreams for the sake of someone she's never met. And she chooses the latter. (She's amazing like that. 😏)

3. WHAT EMOTIONAL PLACES IS SHE AFRAID TO GO TO?

She's afraid to get too attached. The story opens with the death of someone Keyan has just been getting to know -- and that hurts her. Keyan has to learn to open up and explore the world around her, even if that involves meeting new people and making new friends.

4. IS THERE A PLACE/ROOM/CITY SHE WILL NEVER GO? WHERE? WHY?

Every night, from 9PM to 4AM, Keyan's home planet undergoes acid rain. Like, burning acid. Parliament-issued structures (like Keyan's parents' mansion) are protected, and the jungle has adapted to survive, but... nah. Keyan would prefer not to be caught in acid rain, thank you very much. 😜

5. IF YOUR CHARACTER WERE PERMANENTLY LEAVING TOWN, WHAT WOULD SHE EASILY THROW OUT? WHAT WOULD SHE REFUSE TO PART WITH? WHY?

HELLO, QUESTION! You look familiar. 😉

Keyan would probably throw out her filled matrix books (the equivalent to coloring books... for math nerds 😜), but she would definitely keep her shoebox of files on her birth/history.

6. WHAT DOES SHE WANT (CONSCIOUSLY AND TANGIBLY)?

Security. To know she's safe and not alone. 💙

7. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHAT DOES SHE NEED (ON THE EMOTIONAL, SUBCONSCIOUS LEVEL)?

Someone to tell her she's safe. Her needs/wants match up pretty well! 😉

8. IF SHE COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT HERSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

She would be an artist instead of a mathematician. In a world where everyone's mechanically minded, her gifts aren't of much importance -- to quote another character, "The Unity Axis needs more artists, not mathematicians."

9. WHAT WAS THE MOST HUMILIATING EVENT IN HER LIFE?

Around the time a certain event happens in the story, a logger's sister calls Keyan a "slut"* (RUDE), and on a totally unfounded basis! Although it's a private encounter, Keyan is still, naturally, humiliated.

*This is a clean story, I promise!

10. WHAT DOES SHE TURN TO WHEN SHE NEEDS A BIT OF HOPE?

That's the thing -- Keyan doesn't have a lot of hope. She finds motivation in her birthrecords and desire for security, but she doesn't find hope for a long time... when she learns about God. 💗


Well, THOSE WERE QUITE A FEW QUESTIONS. #ispooped
