Ruyi's World of Books & Stories

BUY Reel Roy Reviews, Vol. 1: Keepin' It Real is a compilation of essays composed in tribute to (and sometimes frustration with) the art-form known as "cinema" —with a few theatre, music, and concert analyses thrown in for good measure. As a populist at heart, Sexton's sensibility is grounded in a desire to see good stories, well told. For Sexton, film is an encapsulated medium. Whether 90 minutes or three hours, a movie tells one story—beginning, middle, and end—introducing you to new friends, enemies, and locales in an efficiently designed delivery mechanism. With a good film, Sexton feels you get the experience of reading a novel (whether or not the film is in fact based on any work of literature) in a highly compressed fashion. In the best movie-going experience, your brain leaves your body for a bit, you take a mini-vacation to places you might not otherwise ever see, and you return to your regularly scheduled life a bit changed, perhaps enlighte...

Very Different Kind of Book! Really Enjoyed it! What a great book of short stories! The stories are very different and unexpected and very enjoyable. There are a lot of challenging lessons included in the stories as well as a lot of surprises. Great book! Thanks for the great read! ---Shawn Robinson. Excellent Choice for Middle School aged Children These wonderful stories are captivating and will leave readers yearning to learn more about the characters. The story line in each story is filled with lessons, regret, choices and consequences. The book is most definitely geared towards middle school aged children and up. Some scenes are somewhat violent in nature and are best suited for older children. Exceptionally written! --- Cindy Shirley  (under the name Lazann) BUY If you enjoyed the reviews, please share or download. Thank you!!

Q. How would you describe yourself?  I am hard working, easy going and fun to be with. Q. Tell us something about the books that you have written and the story behind them.  I have published several books which include "The City Heroes and other stories from the heart of Africa", and "The Adventures of Nihu". The City Heroes is a collection of short stories and suitable for middle grade readers. The stories within the collection contain messages about forgiveness, charity, redemption and loyalty. Q. What place does writing hold in your life, how has been your writing journey so far?  Special place. I enjoy writing and the journey so far has been wonderful. I am so fortunate to meet some good publishers like the Open Books. They've been wonderful. Irrespective of my flaws, they stood by me. Q. What is your writing process, a typical writing day routine?  Terrific! Once I get down to write, I hardly do other things. I am easily lost in my ...

Fantastic! Fun-tastic! Fawn-tastic!! The Adventures of Fawn is an exciting award-winning 'coming-of-age' series. 'Til the Last Snowflake Falls is the first entry in this series, which has also won a number of awards on its own. The year is 1849, and legendary reindeer Comet and Vixen have a young daughter, Fawn. In this first book, 'Til the Last Snowflake Falls, the young reindeer spends far too many days alone in the stable at Santa's Village, with no friends and nothing to do. While her parents caution her she's much too young and inexperienced to go exploring outside the Village by herself, Fawn disagrees. Declaring, “I want some fun and excitement! I don’t care how dangerous it is!” she begins sneaking out each day in search of friends, excitement and adventure. She'll find them all...but also find herself in dangerous situations she's unprepared for! She’ll realize perhaps a bit too late that mom and dad were right all along! And, she...

Lots of us write short stories. But when we think of making money from our writing, we tend to get hung up on the idea of publishing a novel—or, better yet, a series of novels. Short stories are ways to explore new ideas and techniques or are giveaways for our email newsletter readers, but they don’t pay the bills. Not so fast. For a long time, short stories were actually a fiction writer’s best way to break into paying work, and they can still form a strong part of your author career. Selling short fiction into paying markets nets you exposure, new readers, and, oh yeah, some cash! Sure, most literary magazines and fiction markets don’t pay a ton, but it never hurts to add another tool to your kit, giving you another distribution channel and a way to bolster your professional career. There are new literary magazines opening all the time, especially online, and so it’s impossible to come up with a definitive list of all the paying markets currently accepting submissi...

Below are kind words from a satisfied author, Laura Tata Onuigbo! Every single time Amazon pings me to say someone has bought my 'Harry the Cheeky Prince', I do a vigorous mental dance. And because this happens on average, five times a day, my head has become a rather restless, invisible dance arena.  But nothing compares to the inner glow I get when friends reach out to say they've bought and read it. Beautiful  Dada Obayuwana  here is one of a bunch of them. The glowing reviews the book receives from them and the wider public, make my heart flutter with delight. Y'all have made my entire decade and...I will remember.  ❤️ 😍  xx --Laura Tata Onuigbo YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO  DOWNLOAD BOOK ON AMAZON! IT IS HOT!!

TUPELO HONEY  is the  WINNER of NINE BOOK AWARDS  including: A 2020 Independent Press Award WINNER for New Fiction! 'Gritty, superbly written and packed full of unforgettable characters. A FINALIST and highly recommended.'  ~ The Wishing Shelf Book Awards  A loveable, engaging, original voice, Tupelo brightens this accomplished tale of dysfunction in a family where “nothing had ever been right.” ~ Publishers Weekly ~ From the delicious title, (the spunky 11-year-old narrator was named after Elvis' birthplace) to every unconventional character and careful detail, Tupelo Honey is a delight. Set in rural Mississippi, with a cast of colorful southerners, it stars one dysfunctional family at the center of which is Tupelo Honey. Author Lis Anna-Langston gets into the head of her title girl completely, taking readers on a ride of a sort of haunted but beautiful mess. To paraphrase Tolstoy, it is the unhappy families that are unique -- and by definition, often mor...

Q. How would you describe yourself?  I feel I’m a down to earth person who is looking to explore a hidden talent.   I’m also keen on showing the world that software engineers can be creative as they have a perception of being geeky/nerdy. Q. Tell us something about the books that you have written and the story behind them.  I have had certain troubles and experiences in finding love and had to overcome various hurdles to achieve my ambitions in life.   I wanted to share my thoughts on how to handle disappointments in life, what to do when you achieve your ambitions, staying hungry and what it means to love someone.   I’m hoping that my first book Love, War and Glory: Spoken Words for All Seasons will inspire people to not give in and offer encouragement regardless of what stage they are at in life. Q. What place does writing hold in your life, how has been your writing journey so far?  I have always enjoyed writing but because...
