The sheriff picked up the abandoned dog a few days later. It was a pitiful rabbit specimen, but I couldn’t stop in the middle of the chorus. Standing up, I crooned about the dog whining all the time. “That rascal with the slobbery flews,” I whispered, pulling the skin on either side of my mouth and shaking my head to imitate hound flews. Bending down until my face was an arm’s length from his, I placed a hand on each knee. It looked like the toothpaste tube my fist had wrapped around that very morning. He snatched up his rabbit, squeezing it in the middle and leaving it sagging from either side of his jaw. Ignoring Fox, I jumped right into the third iteration of my musical complaint, reminding the hound dog that he hadn’t ever caught a rabbit and would never be a friend of mine.įox didn’t like being ignored. Fox pranced a horseshoe pattern back and forth in front of me. I sang over Fox’s head, Elvis’s song about a hound who can’t catch a rabbit. Maybe it was on a leash or lazy or mired in quicksand-but that dog never moved from its one spot, a half mile away and an unimpeded line of sound and sight to my front door. I had my eyes uphill, on the hound across the gravel road. Fox had just caught a rabbit but dropped it as soon as he saw me dancing across the pasture in my cactus-crushing Wellies.

Galanti is unveiling the trailer for book two, JOSHUA AND THE ARROW REALM, which will be releasing on August 30th, so I waited to post my review until today. Earlier this summer, I read the first book in Donna Galanti’s Lightning Road fantasy adventure series, JOSHUA AND THE LIGHTNING ROAD. This quote is from the first chapter of Peterson’s book (some may call it the lobster chapter), where Dr. Peterson has become one of the world’s most popular public thinkers due to his YouTube lectures–which has over 1 million subscribers– where he describes the deep connections between neuroscience, psychology and some of the oldest stories told by mankind. He’s published more than a hundred scientific papers, transforming the modern understanding of personality, while his textbook, Maps of Meaning, revolutionized the psychology of religion. Peterson specializes in personality psychology with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological beliefs. He has taught at Harvard and the University of Toronto. Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, cultural critic, and professor of psychology. I've already written one article about " 12 Rules for Life" but this book holds so much valuable information that I had to write another.įor those unfamiliar with Dr. His book, "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" is the first book that I've ever pre-ordered in my entire life, and I've bought roughly 100 books in the last three years. Since discovering Jordan Peterson's YouTube channel last year, I've become completely amazed by the amount of incredible information produced by this single individual. (Mogsy, you have NO idea how awesomely dangerous your list was. The Falconer (The Falconer, Book #1) by Elizabeth May (YA Steampunk Fantasy): I added this to my wishlist after reading Bibliosanctum’s Tough Traveling feature on novels featuring fairy characters. So, I finally bought my first batch of fairy novels for market research, as well as another YA fantasy classic I’ve been meaning to get a hold of. Something I should have done a lot sooner than Draft #2, but better late than never, right? I’ve been meaning to do some “market research” on such books because the protagonist and other characters from my WIP, The Keeper’s Curse, are Faeries. Some of you might remember that last fall, I was looking for recommendations for fantasy novels with fairy characters.
