Celebrate The Small Things
QUOTE: Courage is not the absence of fear. It is being afraid but being able to control that fear so you are able to perform at your highest ability. That's what makes a champion ~ Cory Lester
Champion in the Darkness by Tyrean Martinson
The book is now available!
Clara is younger than most trainees, but she is ready to hold a Sword Master's blade. While visions and ancient prophecies stand in her way, they also offer a destiny unlike any other. Clara is aided by a haunted mentor, Stelia, whose knowledge of their enemy Kalidess is both a bane and a blessing. As evil threatens their land, Clara and Stelia must find the strength to overcome the darkness.
Champion in the Darkness is YA Christian Fantasy, and is the first book in the Champion Trilogy.

Congrats on winning a book! [g]
Yay for your win of Medeia's book. Sweet badge! I ate too many chocolate chip cookies on Valentine's Day as I tried to avoid the box of chocolates. Oops.
@Shelly ~ hope you managed to deflect those curve balls…
@Lara ~ my reading pile is now so high that it's ready to topple over!
@Leslie Rose ~ *chuckles* was it the lesser of the two evils scenario?
Congrats on becoming a Ninja Minion!
As for reading, I'm woefully behind. Sigh. Maybe I'll make a point to read more this week. Wanted to this weekend, but I'm on meds that make me drowsy, so reading is currently putting me to sleep. :-/
Congratulations on winning Medeia's book!
@Misha ~ take it easy and drink plenty of fluids if you're on meds… the reading can wait till you recover… 🙂
@Nas ~ I can't wait to read it Nas…
