Read Bitter Frost, the first book in the highly-popular award-wining Frost Series by Kailin Gow. Award-winning finalist of the 2011 International Book Awards in 2 categories: Multi-genres Fiction and in Women’s Literature. The Frost Series has topped the bestselling lists on Amazon when Bitter Frost was first introduced. This epic series about the magical world of Feyland where strong and noble fairies live, tells a tale of the rise of half-fairy, half-human Breena Malloy, a 16 year-old girl who discovers she is the heir to the Summer Kingdom. In her journey, she grows up fast, as Feyland is beautiful, but dangerous, and the two fey kingdoms Summer and Winter are at war. To complicate everything, Breena had always dreamed about a handsome young man, whom she learns was once her betrothed, the icy and cold Prince Kian, the Winter Prince and son to the Snow Queen, Queen of the Winter Kingdom.  They were once betrothed, but now they’re mortal enemies. In a land of magic and war, can love, the most powerful of all magic, be stronger than fey laws and duty?

Read an excerpt here:

“The dream had come again, like the sun after a storm. It was the same dream that had come many times before, battering down the doors of my mind night after night since I was a child. It was the sort of dreams all girls dream, I suppose – a dream of mysterious worlds and hidden doorways, of leaves that breathe and make music when they are rustled in the wind, and rivers that bubble and froth with secrets. Dreams, my mother always told me, represent part of our unconsciousness – the place where we store the true parts of our soul, away from the rest of the world. My mother was an artist; she always thought this way. If it was true, then my true soul was a denizen of this strange and fantastical world. I often felt, in waking hours, that I was in exile, somehow – somehow less myself, less true, than I had been in my enchanted slumber. The real world was only a dream, only an echo, and in silent moments throughout the day it would hit me: I am not at home here.”

"Gone with the Wind Meets Brokeback Mountain?" This terrific, life-affirming Civil War novel is much more than that: David Greene’s Unmentionables – Here’s a Free Sample

 

I don’t go out on a limb like this for one of our sponsors more than two or three times a year, but I hope you will read David Greene’s novel Unmentionables, because it is a terrific, life-affirming read, unpretentiously priced at just $2.99.

I could care less about the little controversies that some will associate with it, because this book is so much better than you might expect if you focus on them. It should have a place in every reader’s library, and the sooner you make time to read it the sooner you will share the great experience I’ve had the past few days. 
I’m not going to pigeon-hole Unmentionables by saying “think Gone with the Wind meets Brokeback Mountain,” because that wouldn’t do justice to the novelist’s achievement in recreating a historical world that seems to suggest the impossibilty that he might actually have been present for everything that happened just outside Margaret Mitchell’s earshot.
One reviewer wrote about recognizing, in David Greene’s prose, a style similar to that of Anthony Trollope or other 19th century novelists. Although that frankly did not strike me, I will say that one important element of Greene’s triumph here is strikingly reminiscent of the great tradition of English novelists from Eliot and Hardy to D.H. Lawrence. Part of what made the English novel of the 19th and early 20th century so compelling was the existence of class and social barriers that locked characters out from opportunities to live their dreams.
American culture has often tended to homogenize our experience and deny the existence of such barriers to focus on less compelling personal idiosyncracies, but the barriers are there, they have always been there, and in Unmentionables Greene gives resonance to those barriers, to their human cost, and to the passion and nobility that such barriers can inspire in “ordinary people.”
