Invoking Hestia Mid-winter, a time when pantries are emptying out, is a time to invoke Hestia, the Greek goddess of hearth and home, the "keeper of the reserves." Take stock of home and hearth. What's needed for comfort, protection, and nourishment? It's cold outside, and time to create warmth within.  Cook hot oatmeal and invoke Hestia. As the oatmeal warms you, be with Hestia:

Hestia, make this house a home, a santuary to all who enter. 
Bless this doorstep. All who cross, come in peace. 
Bless this home. Family and friends feel welcomed and nurtured. 
Bless this kitchen, the spiritual heart of this home. 
Bless this stove, warm center of sacred space, creator of nourishment for body and soul.
And bless this pantry, with reserves to see us all through winter, Warmth to provide comfort and respite from the outside world, And your sweet spirit to warm us within. 
Blessed Be, Hestia. Dallas Jennifer Cobb

Shuffled from place to place in the foster system, Morrigan doesn't know the meaning of home. Plus, she is different. She has power over fire, the ability to move objects with her mind, and glimpse into the future. Just when she believes her life can't get any stranger, she discovers her true identity. Filtiarn, a knight with a dark past and a surprising secret, has been tasked with guiding the heir of Tír na NÓg through countless perils to be returned to her family. Once Morrigan has been reunited with her mother and grandmother, their triad can save the forgotten land of magic from being devoured by an ancient evil.

Promo Wednesday: Targets of Revenge

COUNTRY FIRST.

All the bureaucratic scolding in Washington cannot stop resourceful CIA Agent Jordan Sandor when he’s hungry for revenge. This time he’s on the hunt for the cold-blooded sociopath known as Adina, whose indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people, including Sandor’s close friend, represents man at his worst.

Mobilizing a team of skilled and dedicated agents to carry out his secret operation, Sandor flies in the face of his superiors’ stern warnings—ultimately crash-landing in the heart of the Venezuelan jungle. Armed with little more than a combat knife and a deadly automatic weapon, he infiltrates Adina’s camp and discovers that the ruthless terrorist is smuggling not only cocaine into the United States, but also a deadly substance that could cost tens of thousands of lives.

Sandor develops intel that leads him to Egypt and then Moscow as he fights to prevent this disaster, but after he lands on Interpol’s list of international fugitives, the truth becomes clear: Adina’s evil web extends to the far corners of the globe. Meanwhile, someone Sandor trusts could very well be feeding the agent dangerous lies as he struggles to stay on Adina’s trail.

More focused than ever, Sandor refuses to end his perilous mission, even after he has been taken captive. In the end, when he uncovers the realities of Adina’s deranged plan for a catastrophic assault on New York City, Sandor has no choice but to risk his life to protect his country’s safety and freedom.

Jeffrey S. Stephens is a native New Yorker who now lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his wife Nancy, where they raised their two sons, Graham and Trevor. Stephens is the author of the Jordan Sandor thrillers Targets of Deception and Targets of Opportunity.

Poison By: Bridget Zinn

My Review: 5 Stars

First off I wanted to make sure everyone knows that the author of this book is not longer with us.  Below are some links/info about her.  At the time of me receiving this book I didn't know she had passed.  It was weird to learn that I wouldn't be able to contact her for questions about her book.  I am so happy that Disney decided to allow me to review it.  And I hope that all of you love it as much as I did.  Bridget Zinn died back in 2011.  She had been diagnosed with colon cancer two year before that.  She was 33.  This is her first book and sadly her last.  It is a great loss that she is gone for she wrote so well.  And she will be sadly missed.  This book was wonderful!

"*I received a copy of this book for free to review, this in no way influenced my review, all opinions are 100% honest and my own."

Book Description

Release Date: March 12, 2013

• Reading level: Ages 12 and up
• Hardcover: 288 pages
• Publisher: Hyperion Book CH (March 12, 2013)

Sixteen-year-old Kyra, a highly-skilled potions master, is the only one who knows her kingdom is on the verge of destruction—which means she’s the only one who can save it. Faced with no other choice, Kyra decides to do what she does best: poison the kingdom’s future ruler, who also happens to be her former best friend.

But, for the first time ever, her poisoned dart…misses.

Now a fugitive instead of a hero, Kyra is caught in a game of hide-and-seek with the king’s army and her potioner ex-boyfriend, Hal. At least she’s not alone. She’s armed with her vital potions, a too-cute pig, and Fred, the charming adventurer she can’t stop thinking about. Kyra is determined to get herself a second chance (at murder), but will she be able to find and defeat the princess before Hal and the army find her?

Kyra is not your typical murderer, and she’s certainly no damsel-in-distress—she's the lovable and quick-witted hero of this romantic novel that has all the right ingredients to make teen girls swoon.

About The Author

I'm a YA writer and fan of all things YA. The types of books I like the best are usually super funny and have a unique perspective on the world – they also tend to be a bit on the girly side although not ALWAYS. Adventure and intrigue can get me too – it's just that a touch of snogging here and there is always a bonus in my mind.

I write the sort of books I like to read: you'll find adventure, unique twists, and definitely a snog here and there. It's quite possible that there's a bit of sneakiness and mischievousness in my stories, but you'll have to read more to find out for sure. All I can tell you is that if you check out my About Me page don't be surprised to discover links to Secret Lairs, Partners In Crime, or Crazy Stunts.

My first novel, POISON, will be published by Disney/Hyperion March 2013.

Enjoy,
