Frieda’s Cookies by Kenneth Warde

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

In a strangely-shaped world far away, lived a little girl in one of the many towns of the Kingdom of Melanion. She’s like any other growing child – loves cookies, plays every chance she gets, and curious about a lot of things. But there’s one distinct difference which sets Frieda apart. Unknown to her, the magic of an entire world considers her as a friend.

And that has never happened before.

(Half of the net proceeds of the ebook and paperback versions of the book will be donated to an Asian foundation caring for poor children with cancer.)

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I started writing in 2017 and started with epic fantasy. It was a hobby driven by a desire to share stories in the genres I grew up with. Then sometime in the middle of 2018, I decided to try writing a fantasy tale for children. Just in time for Christmas. There will be other books narrating Frieda's adventures. Once I find the time to write them.

What if you ended up on a planet. . .and had no idea how you got there? On a planet called Ethereal live creatures known as the Elouse. A couple of kids discover a human child and take him in. While their dad, Jasper, tries to find the planet “Earth” (which doesn’t exist in their galaxy) their mom, Ellen, and her girls, Taylinn, and Avigale are left to welcome and care for, Sinya, who has no recollection how he got there in the first place. Sinya tries to fit in his surroundings and make friends but some are too afraid, including Taylinn and Avigale. Taylinn finds out her dad is going away in a secret spaceship, but she overhears that the mission is really “to save his family from him?” Could he mean Sinya? Sinya starts seeing Mer-Dragons, a made-up tale told to him by Avigale and Taylinn but this Mer-Dragon talks to a being known as “Malic,” one that means danger for Jasper and the family. But no one will believe him. When Taylinn finally sees the truth of the danger for herself, she tries to alert her friends, but just like Sinya, no one will believe her, including her mother. Now in order for Sinya to get back home, these unlikely pair must team up to save Jasper, and his family from the coming danger of Mer-Dragons!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I first had the idea when a friend of mine bought me “Inkheart” by Cornelia Funk then after that series I began reading other middle grade fantasy books like “Fablehaven” by Brandon Mull “The Chronicle of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis and became hooked. Other fantasy books inspired me too like “Magic Kingdom of Landover” series by Terry Brooks, “Gatemage” by Orson Scott Card and “Books of Umber” by P.W. Catanese. I started working on this trilogy in 2006 after I wrote my urban fantasy novel “The Lost Angels.”

Featured Book: The Hoppernots by Deborah Blake Dempsey

How do you become a hero when everyone thinks you’re trouble?

Around Lake Fibian, Max, Cristobel, and Spyder are notorious. Stories of their pranks and troublemaking ways have followed them all of their lives. When they hear the tales about a creature called the Hoppernot, they believe the Elders are making up stories to keep young frogs (okay, mostly them) in line.

But when frightened Elders announce a Hoppernot sighting, the trio think they know exactly what to do. With a nose for adventure—and because the Elders are all talk and no hop—they sneak off to find out if the legendary creatures are real and discover Hoppernots not only exist, but they are destroying their home and putting lives at risk.

The adventure begins when Max, Cristobel, and Spyder issue a call to action to drive the dangerous creatures away from their beloved home. Along the way, they discover a secret weapon, an unlikely alliance, and they must find a way to make the Elders forget their troublemaking past and trust them enough to follow them into a battle of survival and fight for the lake they call home or risk losing it . . . and their lives.

A Rescue and a Near Death Experience is not what you would expect to find on a nearly perfect world like the beautiful Blue Angel Planet.

Hold on to your seats as this knuckle biting adventure twists and turns, with lots of unexpected outcomes.
More questions are asked than get answered in this volume. Maybe it will all come together in the next.

About Jodi by Harley Bennett

This is a middle grade fantasy book.

Jodi’s vacation to the 1887 frontier town of Moss Point, Arizona was supposed to be fun. Horseback riding in the mountains and forests of Arizona was fun. Meeting White Feather and his Apache hunting party was fun. White Feather even gave her an Apache name, Konantanihi, which he translated as Fire Princess. Fishing in the wilderness was fun. Spoiling the stagecoach robbery was a lot of fun. Riding Mark’s big Quarter horse in a race was fun, and attending a nineteenth century baseball game with Hallie was fun. But, there were all those other things, those things that did not belong. Those were not fun. Some of the things that Jodi had to deal with were downright scary.
