Madeline Jourdain is starting a new
life in New Orleans, Louisiana. Despite being paralyzed from the waist down,
she has always been popular and smart, recently graduating from college. She
has been blessed with adoring parents and friends who saw Madeline’s true self,
beyond her disability. But deep down, Madeline longed for something she never
knew she missed. With a touch of a welcoming hand, Madeline’s heart opens to
find true love. With an opening of a book, Madeline discovers the magic lying
dormant in her, as magic is reintroduced throughout the world. This fills
Madeline’s heart with more possibilities but also more danger than she could ever
have imagined. With help from witches, storm giants, and a Pixie named Charlie,
Madeline learns about true love, magic, and even dragons.
MY REVIEW:
Pillars, the first book from the Madeline's Magic, is the first experience I have had the opportunity of reading books by the talented Claire Theriot Mestepey. I am not a huge fan of this genre, however, I thought this one gives me a reason to go outside my comfort zone and read something new. I enjoyed going on this adventure and spending time in a new world with these interesting characters. It was a great read to me.
Pillars will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who love to read magical tales. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment from Madeline's Magic, Realms, to see where else Claire Theriot Mestepey will take their characters to next.
I received a digital copy of Claire Theriot Mestepey's Pillars from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
About Claire Theriot Mestepey:
Whimsy Word Search Game Ups the Fun Level of Word Searches
Whimsy Word Search has launched a new style of game that
triples the fun with its genius mix of color and word search.
Claire Theriot Mestepey’s love affair with word games and
word searches has been going on for as long as she can remember. Then about a
few years ago, Claire had a novel idea to create a book that combined both
coloring and word searches in one game. She immediately got to work to ensure
this idea came into fruition. After a lot of trials and mostly errors, Whimsy
Word Search was born.
Whimsy Word Search debuted with two never-seen-before puzzle
styles: normal and pictogram. The normal Whimsy Word Search is a prettier and
more colorful take on the regular word search, but the difference is that it
allows one to color each letter in the words they find.
As for the pictogram style, Claire has her husband to thank
for the idea. “My husband suggested there might be a way to make these puzzles
even more challenging. Why use simple letters when you can challenge your
puzzle lovers with pictograms? So have each pictogram represent a letter and
then find the connecting pictograms that form the words. Hence Whimsy Word
Search, Pictogram Style was created.”
As the owner and creator of the Whimsy Word Search, Claire is
in charge of the entire process. “I do everything from coming up with the ideas
for different books to creating the pages to publishing the books.” It is
particularly noteworthy that Claire does all this even with a severe physical
disability. “What gives my story of a strong woman trying to build a business
while raising a happy family a twist, is that I have cerebral palsy.”
Nonetheless, Claire shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.
“Recently we have added American Sign Language too. My latest book is
Shakespearean Insults, which features letters from guttersnipe to roundtable
wench! These words and insults work in a pinch! It’s probably my favorite book
word search that I have created to date.”
Claire also added a new feather to her cap when she and her
work were featured in the Texas County Reporter. An experience she is most
thankful for.
Claire also finished her first full-length novel recently, Pillars, which is about a heroine in wheelchair who uses her magic powers to combat evil. The novel is set to be part of a trilogy that chronicles the epic battles between good and evil. Claire is currently writing the second novel, while a detailed outline of the third novel is already penned down.
