Happy Holidays and a Great Coming Year


Thanks for the support of my literary endeavors.

Age

I am sharing this again because people continue to ask what age group are my books aimed at. Anyone of any age who likes magical adventures and fairy tales that can read at an eighth grade level should be able to read it very easily. Although I do have some 10 year olds that really like the books.

New review of Enchanted Circles

NEW Review of First Book
 
Customer Review
I really enjoyed Medinas first novel, December 21, 2015
By Amazon Customer

This review is from: Enchanted Circles: The First Novel of The Enchanted Circles Series (Volume 1) (Paperback)
 
I really enjoyed Medinas first novel. It was original, creative and magical. As a story about a 12 year old boy and a magical adventure, it's simple honest and true. It's been a long time since I was 12, but I could relate to Zachs anxieties, fears and his hope that everyone and everything would be OK. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters (even the evil ones). I loved the fact that the characters had personal flaws, but were filled with hope. It made me want to know more about their background and the adventures to come. All in all great book. Can't wait to read the next installment.

More than a Kid's Book


A few people have asked me if this is a kid's book. Although both of my books are considered "young adult" reading , that really indicates reading levels. Unbroken Circles and the original Enchanted Circles are for everyone who loves fairy tales and magical adventures. Available at Full Circle Book Store, JRB at the Elms Art Gallery and on amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars...
Fantastic book!!
By Lovebooks on December 12, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I was not sure what to expect but I liked the blurb so I took a chance and bought the book, and I am VERY glad I did. This book is fantastic! The story is about a lonely 12 year old boy Zak, who finds out some of the quirky people living near his aunts home in the mountains are sorcerers, and they need him to help them fight 3 crazy and evil sorcerers. Vivid detail and lots of magical action make this a page turner. The twists and turns of the plot kept surprising me!

The author paints a warm and rich world where the extraordinary and the ordinary seem equally natural and real.

The characters are believable and likeable (except for the villainous sorcerers!) they are all well fleshed out. I really loved Zak, aunt Millie, Cole, miss Hannah and all the others!
Serious topics like losing a loved one, a distant parent, loneliness but also questions like what is right, and how do we know we are making the right decision, are expertly touched upon and explored without making the story sad or slowing the action, it gives the story great depth.
The 6 gorgeous illustrations with glowing jewel like colors give the book an extra richness. They are extraordinary! And people who are into coloring will no doubt find lots of inspiration in them. Every illustration is separately mentioned in the table of contents, you can simply tap one to study, admire and enjoy it!

The story was a stand alone, everything was very satisfyingly wrapped up, but I was very glad a new story was hinted at, and I have already bought the next installment!

This is a fabulous book for young and old. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy or just a good story!!
