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.

Today I'd like to celebrate small things, medium things, large things… the size doesn't really matter. It's all about the celebration. This awesome bloghop is hosted by VikLit over at Scribblings Of An Aspiring Author.  Check it out!

                                             

Today I'm celebrating the following:

~ reading a paranormal-action novelette written by a fellow blogger/writer

~ sending some of my flash fiction to CP's/betas (my first time sending it out…)

~ I won an e-book: Bestest. Ramadan. Ever. in yesterday's Valentine special giveaway on Medeia Sharif's blog.Yay!

~ You still have time to sign up for my first ever collaborative bloghop hosting gig (to celebrate my blog-o-versary) from 18-20 February … more details HERE

 

I'M AN A TO Z NINJA MINION!  ISN'T THIS BADGE AWESOME?

                                   

How has your week been? Did you enjoy your Valentine yesterday? Read any interesting stories recently? Got any champion-related stories to share?

    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. :-/

  28. michelle on February 17, 2013 at 8:28 pm
