The Book Stacks

Today we have a special guest book review from author Nick Oliva. Join me in welcoming him to The Book Stacks and enjoy the review!

Review by Nick Oliva
The Sun Singer is a book of calculated splintered realities. The line between the real and the metaphysical is blurred through the eyes of a coming-of-age teenager whose psychic ability mirrors that of his precious grandfather. His grandfather holds the secrets of a world that co-exists with and within us here on earth.

The plot of the book is revealed shortly after he is informed of a family trip to Glacier National Park for reasons that have been unclear to his parents, but because of the grandfather’s “gifts” no one questions this apparent pilgrimage and they faithfully bring the teenage boy to meet his destiny.

Mr. Campbell’s prose is burgeoning with all manner of intricate facts providing a most accurate description to the background through which the characters are exposed. It is obvious the author is an outdoorsman and his ornithological knowledge is deep and concise with each description of any winged creature that he brings to the forefront.

Each character that our unintentional hero meets places another piece of the mystery into play ever so much as to beg to want to ask even more questions. We breathe along with the main character, we feel his confusion and innocent bravery as he takes on a medieval persona, fighting soldiers and conjuring supernatural power from a magical wooden staff that has been given to him, another legacy of his grandfather. The maze of tunnels seem to be a metaphor for the possibilities or alternate paths that one can choose, having to take the responsibilities for choosing such paths.

If Faulkner wrote science fiction I would envision it would read much like this novel. I could easily envision a screenplay that would surpass “The Golden Compass” in scope and imagination. The only criticism that I can offer is that the language of this teenage boy seems a bit seasoned and older than his years, but I’ve been critiqued for the same reasons myself in my first novel.

I found myself running to “Google” latin words and phrases and noticed a few new words being added to the English language such as clairaudiently that means the hearing of things metaphysically through different realities. Mr. Campbell also employed the use of split columns that expressed the separate lines of Sonny’s or Osprey’s or Robert’s (the same boy depending on what universe and who he was with) thinking at the same time, again the constant alluding to parallel posturing within the writing itself. Are you intrigued yet?

The road to and from the magical universe that Osprey’s (I like that name it was my college’s mascot) is loaded with surprises and revelation. There are a cast of characters that have distinct and immediate personality and the rapid movement of the plot requires one’s concentration to keep it all in order.

This is not fluffy pulp fiction. The subject matter is fantasy but it’s presentation is far from it. It is a very structured intelligent novel, each word placed exactly where the author intends and this author intends to stretch the rules, so stay strapped in and bring along your bookmarker-it is not a book to be read quickly.

Happy Thursday Thirteen!

Last week I listed off some of the books I have enjoyed enough on the first read to read them again. (And again and again in some cases.) Since becoming a reviewer, I don’t have a lot of time to go back and read things again. However, that doesn’t stop me from reading them again eventually.

So here is my list of…

1. A Piece of Normal - Sandi Kahn Shelton
2. The Dowry Bride - Shobahn Bantwal
3. The Artist’s Way - Julia Cameron
4. Writing Down the Bones - Natalie Goldberg
5. Bird by Bird - Anne Lamott
6. On Writing - Stephen King
7. South Beach Chicas Catch Their Man - Caridad Pineiro
8. Ender’s Game - Orson Scott Card
9. The Death Wizard Chronicles: The Pit - Jim Melvin
10. Lady of the Roses - Sandra Worth
11. The Blue Sword - Robin McKinley
12. Abarat - Clive Barker
13. Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Dangarembga

By Marvin L. Zimmerman
Author of The Ovum Factor

Every novel starts with an inspired writer - a person who draws from a fountainhead of emotions and feelings they have accumulated from reading the fictional works of others.

As a young boy, I was especially fascinated by tales of great adventure that took place in far off lands and overlapped with tales of tragic love - the best kind of all since it is short-lived and never withers. Books such as Knight Without Armor and Lost Horizon by James Hilton, captivated me from the moment I opened them and became immersed in their tales of people struggling against almost insurmountable obstacles.

At the time I could not realize it. But reading these masterpieces was setting the stage for my own novels some forty years later.

In The Ovum Factor, I have tried to create a story that pulsates with the same restless energy that drives its protagonist through one seemingly impossible trial after the next. The plot overlays a tale of adventure and survival with the emotional angst of an unlikely hero who becomes separated from the woman he loves just when she needs him most. His struggle to survive and find what he desperately seeks is made infinitely more complex by the fact that the person he loves depends so much on him.

From the moment the hero, David Rose, awakes in his Manhattan apartment asking himself: What am I doing with my life? until the time he finds himself alone and critically injured in the deepest Amazon jungle, there will be a steady escalation of tension. And if this were not enough, the stakes are the highest possible - maybe even the very survival of mankind in the face of ecological degradation and climate change.

The reader who gives my first novel a chance will I hope be rewarded a story that will transport them from the centers of high-finance in New York to the California Institute of Technology in beautiful Pasadena - from China to the crime-infested slums of Rio de Janeiro, and finally into the hidden depths of the Amazon jungle. In between, there will be more twists and turns than the Da Vinci Code.

By the end of his journey, David will have completed both an actual and a metaphysical journey toward his true destiny - something that should prove emotionally satisfying for the reader.

There is a soccer trainer in Michigan by the name of Jordan Mitkov. As in the story, by chance, our paths crossed when my son Garrett went out for a team Jordan trained.

There was a moment early in the relationship when Mitkov explained to Garrett and I what type of individual and what type of temperament was needed to play the midfield position. He elaborated that a midfielder had to be a good person, a person who would sacrifice for the team, an individual with strong enough character to be willing to give up the ball and the glory for the sake of the team. For around ten years, that conversation burned in my mind while I wrestled with how to build a story around it.

Meanwhile, during that period of time, my son Garrett, who was considered to be an extraordinary player, had to deal with injustices based simply on the fact he was playing on a team coached by Mitkov and assisted by me. For instance, once after a game at an indoor complex, my son Garrett was approached by the Director of the boys program with the Olympic Development Program. Two other boys, who witnessed the discussion, now play for the University of Michigan varsity soccer team. The Olympic Development Program is sponsored by the national and state soccer organizations as a means to identify superior soccer talent.

In this particular case, I watched from the other side of the field as the Director put his arm around my son while talking to him as they walked. When the boys came over to my side, one of the boys, named Santos, told me the director was really hot for Garrett to play on the ODP team. “Coach,� Santos said to me. “He said if there was ever a player meant to be on ODP it was Garrett.�

Two weeks later, when I arrived at the ODP tryout, I noticed a blank stare on the Director’s face when I walked up to sign Garrett up for the team. His Adams apple plunged like a fishing lure underwater when he recognized me as Garrett’s father. Two hours later, when the names were called off from the first cut list, my son’s name was read aloud. My son, who was the leading scorer in the league, and considered to be one of the best players in the State, was cut from the ODP team on the very first cut.
It was from moments like that, and many others I could write another complete novel about, that the story of “St. John of the Midfield,� was incubated.

The book chronicles the hypocrisy, the hyper-sensitivity and the antipathy, of the soccer establishment toward an aging coach whose approach to the game is totally misunderstood. Unfortunately, in life, and in the story, those who are innocent get caught up in the destructive force such hatred brings about.

“St. John of the Midfield,� is a story that clearly defines for the reader the nature of good and evil. Though the soccer theme is only one thread of the entire story, the treatment of Jordan Mitkov and my son was the catalyst for the creation of the story.

My book stack has, thankfully, decided to stay at its current number so I can catch up with things.

I feel like I don’t often have positive things to say here lately. I’m hoping to get to the doctor (or figure out everything myself) by next week, so hopefully my mood will improve by then. I apologize if I have been a source of negativity in these posts.

On a lighter note, a very wonderful person has volunteered to be a guest reviewer this week, so there is a special guest review coming up this Friday.

If you would like to try your hand at reviewing, please feel free to contact me. I’m more than happy to put up guest reviews. I’m also thinking of a best book review contest, but it’s just an idea floating around in my brain at this point.

So what’s on your list?

Welcome to this week’s A Book By Any Other Name!

The game works like this: Each week I will choose a word and offer a few titles that I’ve come up with containing that word in the title. Then it’s your turn to come up with book titles containing the same word, without duplication (yes, that includes my titles.) I would also like the author, but that is just so I can find the book if I want to read it.

The current challenge: I challenge you all to reach 32 titles containing the weekly word by midnight Friday, (with no more than 10 titles commented per person and not including *my* titles in the total.)

My forfeit? For this challenge I’d like to do a little something different that will hopefully have the both of us smiling. If you all work together and reach the goal, I will send each of you who participate a post card.

Whoo-hoo right? Right! For those of you who don’t know, I live in Australia so you will be getting a postcard featuring the lovely, lovely city of Melbourne. (If you’re willing to give me your postal address, which I promise to delete as soon as I write it on the postcard.)

So if you’d like a post card, join in!

If you don’t reach the goal, we’ll try again next week. If you reach the goal, I’ll have a brand new challenge for you next Monday where you’ll get another chance.

(If you’re feeling pouty about the ten titles per person limit, why not get a friend to come and comment as well? The more, the merrier.)

The word this week is:

Search

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

You Say…

During her short time as a ward in Queen Marguerite’s Lancastrian court, fifteen-year-old Isobel, passionate, courageous, and of exceeding beauty, has not suffered for attention. Although suitor after suitor has asked for her hand, she is blind to all but Yorkist Sir. John Neville, whom she can only hope to see at affairs of state. And it is nothing short of a miracle when the queen allows Isobel’s marriage to the enemy, albeit at a hefty bride-price.

All around them rages a lawless war… But it only strengthens their love. Refusing to sit idly as her husband joins in the strife, Isobel uses her cunning to his advantage, even employing disguises. It is only their passion that can see them through the bloody march on London by the Duke of Lancaster, the violent madness of Queen Marguerite, and the devolution of Isobel’s meek uncle into the Butcher of England. For theirs is an everlasting love that fears not the scratch of thorns, from either the Red Rose or the White…

Lady of the Roses is one of the few historical fiction novels I have read, and I can say with all honesty, she does favours for her genre. I liked this book so much that I want not only to read more of her books, I want to read more widely in the genre.

Worth uses language that reflects her main character, Isobel – beautiful and gentle with an undeniable strength. She doesn’t not waste words, but nor does she withhold anything from the reader. When I began reading, I was surprised by how much the way Worth writes helped me to relax and enjoy the story she told.

While this is a historical novel, the historical events do not overshadow the fact that this is Isobel’s story – a story that no one is going to want to miss. Isobel is a character who delights the reader as much as she delights and captures the hearts of the other characters in the book. The reader easily identifies with her happiness and her sorrow. Her viewpoint is one we want to follow.

My only regret with this is book is that it had to end without me having other Sandra Worth books in my possession.

Whether or not you have read historical fiction before, I recommend this book. I enjoyed every aspect of it all the way through.

Be it to remember what happened in the first book when the second book comes out or simply out of pure enjoyment of the book, many of us have read one or more books more than once. I certainly have.

That’s where the inspiration for my thirteen list comes from this week.

1. The Immortals Quartet - Tamora Pierce
2. Writing Down the Bones - Natalie Goldberg
3. Mere Christianity - C.S. Lewis
4. The Blue Sword - Robin McKinley
5. The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein
6. The Bone Books - Jeff Smith
7. The Wayfarer Redemption - Sara Douglass
8. Green Rider - Kristen Britain
9. The Lorax - Dr. Suess
10. The Bride Series - Catherine Coulter
11. Animorphs book seven - KA Applegate
12. The Pern Books - Anne McCaffrey
13.The Hero and the Crown - Robin McKinley

Hello everyone! We have a special guest on The Book Stacks today. Camille Marchetta, author of The River, By Moonlight (which will be reviewed on this site) has joined us to talk about her writing experiences.

I hope you’ll join me in welcoming her.

**

This is my first guest post, ever, and honestly I’m not quite sure how to go about it, especially since the parameters Jaime gave me were pretty broad. But there’s nothing like a new adventure, so I’m going to plunge in, do my best, tell you how I came to be a television writer, a producer, a novelist, and what I learned along the way. And when you get to the end of the piece, I really hope you’ll post a comment because I’d like to know how you think I’ve done.

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to write. Before I could even read (according to my mother), I would sit at my little doll’s table, home to my father’s old Underwood typewriter, and pound away, pretending to write a story. So why did it take me until my mid-thirties to become a produced and published writer? Lots of reasons, but chief among them was lack of confidence.

When I was eight, I began a novel, but abandoned it after a few chapters. I wrote articles for the high school newspaper, stories for the college magazine. I entered contests and won prizes. I took a writing course at the New School in New York City and came away with a story I submitted to one or two magazines, but the rejection letters, even the nice ones, discouraged me. I ignored invitations to send another story because I didn’t have another to send.

Of course I should have sat down to write one, but I didn’t. I thought I just wasn’t good enough to get published. Instead of writing, I began reading biographies of writers, hoping to discover the secret of success. Hemingway wrote standing up, I learned. Faulkner wrote drunk. Edith Wharton wrote in the morning. Thomas Wolfe wrote endlessly and left it to his editor to whip his work into shape. There didn’t seem to be just one way to become the writer I dreamed of being.

The obvious lesson was that nothing mattered but writing, just sitting down, and doing it. But somehow I didn’t get it. Not then.

(more…)

I have found my reading going slowly but surely. Some unknown force in my body has decided that the amount of time I should sleep a night (about seven to nine hours) is the number of hours I will be awake on any given day.

Actually, I am awake more than that because I resist the fatigue, but I did give in this weekend just to see how much I would sleep and in the twenty-four hour period that was Saturday I slept more than two thirds of the day.

Lovely.

The word this week is:

Lady

Lady of the Roses - Sandra Worth

You Say…

Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have.

King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported near-fatal accident in 1999 – and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

I think the person who wrote the back caption of this book needs to start drinking decaf coffee.

While I loved the autobiography beginning of this book, I had quite the love and hate relationship with it for a while. (Thus it took me a longer time to read than usual and it has been on my ‘what I’m reading’ portion of the Tuesday list forever and a day.)

Stephen King starts out with a little mini autobiography, which I liked, and then gets into the nuts and bolts of writing. While being extremely quotable throughout the book, I found myself not satisfied on some level that kept me putting this book down and not picking it up for a while quite a few times.

It was when I realized that this is not a ‘here’s how to write’ book and is a book Stephen King wrote about writing (yes, there is a difference) that I began to really love the book. What you need to realize is that King wrote a book about writing; he didn’t write a manual. It seems like that’s what it is at some points, but he mainly tells you about what works for him instead of what should work for everyone.

All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone, even if you aren’t a writer. In fact, you’ll probably have an easier time of enjoying it if you aren’t a writer, strangely enough. I am going to read this book again now that I know to read it like a book rather than some guide written by a guru.

Ah, VDay. Strap on your helmets and be careful of the drunken fallout from the singles bars, right? Either that or, “Oh, lovely, lovely day where lovely I can be lovely to my lovely other who is in my lovely life.”

Forgive me, but it’s a holiday. Not one you get off from school or work for, but something nice if you choose to celebrate it. If you don’t choose to celebrate it, don’t whine. I don’t hear the Mormons going on and on about what a horribly commercial and soulless day Christmas is. (Okay, somewhere a Mormon might do that, but I’ve never heard it.)

So, if you are in love with me and desperately want to get me something, then here is a list of books:
(/rant)

1. The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein
2. Writing Down the Bones - Natalie Goldberg
3. Without You - Anthony Rapp
4. A Piece of Normal - Sandi Kahn Shelton
5. The Dowry Bride - Shobhan Bantwal
6. Sex and the South Beach Chicas - Caridad Pineiro
7. The Bride books - Catherine Coulter
8. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Enhancing Sexual Desire - Rachel Greene Baldino and Judy Ford
9. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Massage - Joan Budilovsky
10. Illustrated Kama Sutra - Richard, Sir Burton and Vatsyayana
11. Families and How To Survive Them - Robin Skynner and John Cleese
12. Howl’s Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones
13. Green Rider - Kristen Britain

Hello everyone! I have a special guest here on The Book Stacks today. Deborah Woehr has been kind enough to stop by and speak her mind. Please welcome her to the site and check in at Fiction Scribe where I will be interviewing her.

*

I was still a few years from finishing Prosperity when I realized something very important: marketing. How was I going to let my prospective readers know about my book? This question sent me on another quest for book marketing. I bought a handful of books on the subject, but still had only the foggiest clue as to how I was going to reach people.

Then I discovered blogging in 2004 and instantly fell in love with this technology. I didn’t have to rely on email, and I no longer had to tread carefully on forums. Blogs are the perfect platform for writers not only to buzz about their upcoming books, but to build relationships with their readers. I set up my account with Blogger, posted a few articles, and waited for the comments to come. When they didn’t I became frustrated.

This sent me on another Internet search, this time for blogging. I felt like I had hit a bonanza. There were other, better software programs than Blogger. I ditched my Blogger account, paid for a domain name (deborahwoehr.com/blog/) that would make it easy for people to find me, and signed up with an account with Blog Explosion. The last move turned out to be my best because I began receiving comments on a regular basis from repeat visitors, who eventually became friends.

While blogging is still a popular networking tool, social sites such as MySpace and Ning are booming. Podcast and video technology is growing. This year, I watched several book trailer companies launch. Many writers produced their own book trailers and posted them on YouTube.com. I don’t know how many sales came from their book trailers, but the exposure they got for their books was huge.

Thanks to the Internet, the playing field for writers of all skill levels has opened wide. Today, you can build a huge following of loyal readers on a global scale that was nearly impossible twenty years ago, unless you had a sizable marketing budget. So many doors have opened up for writers, both in the publishing world and in freelance. As the technology continues to evolve, I see the Internet opening more doors for writers.

About the Author

For more information about her books, please visit her website at DeborahWoehr.com

Things have been so busy, as per usual, and I am slowly getting behind. I declared a mental health weekend, however, and my energy has been restored somewhat. I hope to have a lot more time for reading in the near future so I can once again get ahead with reviews. (And finally get Only Moments read so I can review it.)

You may wonder why I list what I’m reading every Tuesday. What’s the point? The list keeps growing and doesn’t change all that dramatically from week to week.

First, I like to let you know what reviews are coming up. After that, if you want to read something along with me, that’s great. You can even hold a discussion here about the book if you want to. Also, this list keeps me in check. It reminds me I have reviews to go up every Friday and books to read. (Yes, I do get that forgetful.) So there you go!

If you would like to try your hand at reviewing, please feel free to contact me. I’m more than happy to put up guest reviews. I’m also thinking of a best book review contest, but it’s just an idea floating around in my brain at this point.
