Blog Tour and Giveaway: Knowing You by Tracie Peterson

About the Book

Book: Knowing You

Author: Tracie Peterson

Genre: Historical Fiction

Release Date: November 7, 2023

Could a captivating art exhibit hold the key to truth—and love?

Budding artist May Parker is captivated by the Japanese exhibits at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and longs to know more about her mother’s heritage—which her mother refuses to speak of because of the heartache she left behind in Japan. Wanting to experience more of the exhibits, May works as a Camera Girl–but her curiosity leads her into danger when a suit of samurai armor becomes the target of an elusive art forger.

After ten years apart, May is reunited with her childhood friend Lee Munro, a police detective assigned to keep a watchful eye on the exposition. Their friendship immediately begins to blossom with hints of something more, but when they become entangled in a dangerous heist involving the samurai armor and their love is threatened, can they overcome the odds against them?

Knowing You is book three in the Pictures of the Heart series. This series has proven to be a lot of fun for readers, as well as for me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the research and chance to share this tidbit of history.

In the summer of 1909, Seattle was finally able to debut The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition – often affectionately called the AYP.  The AYP was set up with amusement park rides, vendors, concerts, and all things typical of a fair.  It was also designed to showcase various details about life in Alaska, the Yukon, and a variety of Pacific Islands. The latter included Hawaii, the Philippines, and Japan as well as others.  When I started looking into the various displays, I came across the building they put together for the Japan Building. They spoke of the various displays that the building held and how photographs and other pieces of memorabilia told of Japan’s history.  It was a fascinating set up and I couldn’t help but think it might be fun to have a heroine who was part Japanese.

I mapped out the story studying various aspects of Japanese history, talking to folks who knew more than I did on the topic and reading (a lot) on things like the Samurai and their armor, the Satsuma Rebellion, and the language and Kanji. I learned so much and tried to weave some of the most interesting bits into the storyline. I kept thinking about the fact that most people in the United States in 1909 probably didn’t even know where Japan was, much less anything about their history. There was, after all, no Internet.

Another fascinating thing about the AYP was the fact that it was set on the campus of the University of Washington.  The AYP groomed the grounds and put in beautiful fountains and over 50,000 flowering plants. They built several permanent buildings for the University of Washington and strictly adhered to their policy of no-liquor on campus. This was unusual because all the other fairs and expositions had allowed alcohol.  Nevertheless, from June until October the fair saw nearly four million visitors, and from all reports, they had an amazing time.

I hope you’ll enjoy your journey with me to the AYP!

My Review

I have always had the pleasure in reading Tracie Peterson’s novels and her newest release, Knowing You, is no different. This third installment from her Pictures of the Heart series is by far my favorite I have read by her to date. I adored getting to know the main character, May. I particularly loved her interactions with Lee. The two get involved in lot of suspense, adventure, and action. I wanted to find out how it would all end for them and read the whole book in one sitting. 

Five stars is what I give Knowing You. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical fiction. I will most definitely be looking out for more releases to come from Tracie Peterson,

I received a paperback copy of Tracie Peterson’s Knowing You from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Quest of Fire: Resurgence of Dawn by Brett Armstrong

About the Book

Book: Quest of Fire: Resurgence of Dawn

Author: Brett Armstrong

Genre: Christian, Epic Fantasy

Release Date: December 19, 2023

Hope returns with the dawn…

Haunted by tragedies and failures, Anargen and Jason each struggle to find their way. Night has fallen in the Lowlands and neither teen has an easy road ahead. In Anargen’s Era, Monarch Ilyron’s powers and influence grow, forcing Anargen and his dwindling list of allies to travel the length of the Lowlands in a desperate attempt to keep the Quest and all they hold dear from falling into ruin.

Jason meanwhile must find Aria and her grandfather to help unite the Knights of Light from across the Lowlands against his brother, Dorian. But agents of darkness and painful vestiges of his past mix with vindictive new enemies to make the hope of seeing the dawn of the longed-for King’s Day ever so faint. If either teen gives in and surrenders, doom will come swiftly on their world.

About the Author

Brett Armstrong has been exploring other worlds as a writer since age nine. Years later, he still writes, but now invites others along on his excursions. He’s shown readers haunting, deep historical fiction (Destitutio Quod Remissio), scary-real dystopian sci-fi (Day Moon and Veiled Sun), and dark, sweeping epic fantasy (Quest of Fire). Every story is a journey of discovery and an attempt to be a brush in the Master Artist’s hand. Through dark, despair, light, joy, and everything in between, the end is always meant to leave his fellow literary explorers with wonder and hope. Always busy with a new story, he also enjoys drawing, gardening, and spending time with his wife and son.

 

More from Brett

Resurgence of Dawn takes the main characters, Anargen and Jason, and those they care deepest about through some intense trials. Everything seems to be falling apart around them and each character has a mountain of guilt weighing down on top of them. They know that their mistakes in Shadows at Nightfall enabled the forces of darkness to advance their evil campaign. The lives of others they cared about were lost or endangered and the Quest is overlooking the precipice of failure and ruin. They have repented of their errors and turned back onto the path of light but these consequences still haunt them. And in that haunting lies a continuingly heinous fear that they will falter again. Things are only complicated further when trusted allies abandon and betray them.

Epic fantasy stories are often filled with darkness, but the best of these stories show that the light is never so far away as we imagine. When I write the entries in this series, I’m acutely aware that in our world too it seems as if darkness is winning the war. It’s my sincere hope that as readers encounter the perseverance and surrender to the High King’s will that Anargen, Jason, and so many other characters choose to pursue, they will be encouraged to do the same in our world. I have watched friends fall away from the faith, been buffeted by the storms of life, and been battered by the continual assault on my faith that come from living in our fallen world. I know others have endured the same and often far worse. So, if these stories of Knights and valor and steadfastness as the world crumbles can encourage one person to pursue the Light and hold fast to the Way, the Truth, and the Life; then every hour spent in dreaming and drafting and agonizing over edits is worth it to me. Stories can and should entertain, but they should also inspire and encourage readers to face the real world when the story ends.  All the more, because “the night is far gone; the day is at hand.” *

My Review

Quest of Fire: Resurgence of Dawn is the fifth installment from Brett Armstrong’s Quest of Fire series. I have enjoyed the previous books and was curious to see what would happen to the characters. It is probably my favorite of the series. I recommend readers to read the series from the beginning, but believe they could get enough information to read this one as a stand alone. I enjoyed going into the fantasy world and taking this adventure with the characters. There were some lessons within the pages that all could learn from. I liked it.

I give Quest of Fire: Resurgence of Dawn four and a half stars. I believe readers and fans of clean fantasy fiction will want to read this, as well as, the other books from the Quest of Fire series. 

I received a digital copy of Brett Armstrong’s Quest of Fire: Resurgence of Dawn from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

My Review: 

I enjoyed reading the first book from Benjamin Young MD and Kiyanda Young MD’s Twin Power series, also, titled Twin Power. I was excited to have the opportunity to read the follow up to it with Twin Power: The Best Snow Day Ever. It was fun to see the twins, Simone and Sebastian, working together to clean their rooms so they can go out and play in the snow. It was delight to see them with their friends. The two do have to learn of how to use their Twin Power to get over a disappointment and making a good team. 

Twin Power: The Best Snow Day Ever is beautifully illustrated by the talented author, Imre Papp. I loved their depictions of what Sebastian and Simone look it. It was seeing the visual of the story as I read it and a perfect addition to it. I know the pictures are a great way to keep the youngest of readers’ attention from the beginning until the ending. The last few pages of the book has activities for the young ones to work on.

Five stars is what I give Twin Power: The Best Snow Day Ever. I believe it would be a great fit for families with young twins. I would love to read more Twin Power books from the writing duo Benjamin Young MD and Kiyanda Young MD in the future.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Of Sea and Smoke by Gillian Bronte Adams

About the Book


Book: 
Of Sea and Smoke

Author: Gillian Bronte Adams

Genre: YA Epic Fantasy

Release Date: November 21, 2023

He rides a seablood, a steed of salt and spray, born to challenge the tides.

Six years ago, the wrong brother survived, and nothing will ever convince Rafi Tetrani otherwise. But he is done running from his past, and from the truth. As civil war threatens Ceridwen’s tenuous rule in Soldonia, Rafi vows to fight the usurper sitting on the imperial throne of Nadaar, even if it means shouldering his brother’s responsibilities as the empire’s lost heir.

The stolen shipload of magical warhorses offers just the edge he needs. But the steeds have been demanded in ransom by the emperor’s ruthless assassin, and if Rafi hopes to raise a band of riders, he must first outwit his brother’s murderer.

Yet when his best efforts end in disaster, and an audacious raid sparks an empire-wide manhunt, even forging an unexpected alliance might not be enough to help Rafi turn the tides, let alone outrace the wave of destruction intent on sweeping them all away.

More from Gillian

One of my favorite things about writing epic fantasy is not actually what you might expect. It’s not the fantastical elements, although I absolutely love creating worlds filled with magical warhorses, sosswyrm tangles, and stone-eye tigers who can paralyze their prey with a glance. It’s not the intensity of the action or the world altering stakes, although there’s nothing quite so thrilling as throwing your characters into a do-or-die situation, and the pulse-pounding, breathtaking, heart-aching battle sequences that follow.

Instead, one of my favorite things about writing such wild and epic stories is the opportunity to ground them in very real, very human characters, with very real, very human emotions, and in the complexity of those characters’ relationships with others. Mentor relationships, deeply loyal friendships, and especially sibling relationships.

I am the second-born of five siblings, and I love and admire each of my siblings. Each one encourages and inspires and awes me in his or her own unique way. But growing up, if you had told me that my older sister had hung the moon, I would have believed you. She was two and a half years older than me—and yes, that half year mattered to both of us, though for opposite reasons; she because it meant she was that much older, me because it meant we were that much closer. Somehow, everything she touched seemed golden, and I wanted to be a part of it too.

She was a force of nature—a foaming ocean tide—and I was caught up in her wake.

She took up horseback riding, and so did I. She picked up books, and I had to read them too, even if it meant sitting beside her in the car with my own book open on my lap, surreptitiously reading hers over her shoulder. (Needless to say, that drove her crazy, and older siblings everywhere can probably commiserate.)

She dove into creative writing, and out of nowhere, I developed a passion for the written word. But always, within her, there was this spark of imagination and creativity that I felt I could only ever aspire to. Whatever I did, she had done first and better.

And I could only hope to one day achieve her level of greatness.

Rafi, one of the main characters in Of Sea and Smoke, also has an older sibling, a brother he has always looked up to. While Rafi and his relationship with his brother is not based on my relationship with my older sister—we’re all four of us wildly different people—there were some aspects of my experience as a second-born that I was able to draw upon. Rafi admires his brother’s strength and confidence. His assurance and rightness. His nobility and leadership. By the time we enter the story, his older brother is no longer around, but Rafi has spent his whole life setting his brother up on a pedestal and then trying to measure up to that ideal.

Is it any wonder, then, that he has always found himself wanting?

Now, Rafi finds himself having to step into the role that should have been his brother’s, and the only way he can contemplate facing that challenge is by stamping out the things he looks down upon in himself—many of them, the things that make him himself—and trying to be his brother instead.

Growing up, I can’t tell you how many times I looked at my older sister and wished that I could be more like her and less like myself. More confident. More brilliant. More vibrant. More her. But it wasn’t until my older sister’s interests began to drift into new additional avenues, while mine stayed mostly the same (horses, books, writing), that I finally began to grow into myself. To recognize my strengths, my unique skills, the things that only I bring to the table, and to acknowledge that even when they are different from hers, they are still good.

These days, my older sister and I are best friends. She was the first person I trusted to read Of Sea and Smoke before it went out into the world. I still look up to her in so many ways, and yes, I think I’ll always feel a bit like she hung the moon. But I have grown to appreciate the beauty of what I can learn from my sister’s strengths, while also recognizing the value of my own. And without revealing any spoilers, I think I can safely say that part of Rafi’s journey in Of Sea and Smoke wraps around learning that too, all while he’s raising a band of rebel fighters, trying to outwit an infamous assassin, and plotting to overthrow the empire’s oppressive rule.

Wild, epic stories, grounded in real, human experiences, and honestly, can reading get any more fun than that?

I hope you enjoy the ride!

My Review

After reading the first book from Gillian Bronte Adams’ The Fireborn Epic series, Of Fire and Ash, I was curious to find out what would happen in the books to come. The second installment, Of Sea and Smoke, does not disappoint. I enjoyed taking this journey and adventure with the characters. It was a pleasure to go to a new world and away from today’s life of stress.

Four stars is what I give Of Sea and Smoke. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean young adult fantasy. I am hoping to get the opportunity to read the third addition to The Fireborn Epic series to see where else Gillian Bronte Adams takes the characters. 

I received a digital copy of Gillian Bronte Adams’ Of Sea and Smoke from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.

My Review: 

Twin Power is a delightful tale by the writing duo, Benjamin Young MD and Kiyanda Young MD. It is the start of their series, also, titled Twin Power. I loved reading about Sebastian and Simone. It was delight to seeing through their eyes of what it was like to be a twin and how they can accomplish anything when they are working together. 

Twin Power is beautifully illustrated by the talented author, Imre Papp. I loved their depictions of what Sebastian and Simone look it. It was seeing the visual of the story as I read it and a perfect addition to it. I know the pictures are a great way to keep the youngest of readers’ attention from the beginning until the ending. They last few pages are not colored so they can be filled so the reader can do it themselves.

Twin Power will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who are between the ages of three and seven. I believe it would be great for parents of twins or multiples to add to their little ones’ reading collection. I, also, think it would make a great placement in a school or public library shelves. I am curious to read the next book from the Twin Power series by Benjamin Young MD and Kiyanda Young MD. 

I received a soft cover copy of the Youngs’ Twin Power from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
