I could go on, but this mess helped me get to sleep for several nights. Needed a good editor to straighten out the storyline. Other characters pop in and out ( to help drag out this tediously long narrative.) Lots of fight scenes, a little nooky. His vocabulary is peppered with (helpfully translated) 'indian'language. Our hero is a 2 dimensional Native American, with mythic powers who has trouble with his feelings. Our heroine steals away from Fay, then holes up in a series of motels, learns English from TV, though she cannot read or write, knows a lot but somehow does not know what a fork is? (I am sure I have seen people eat on tv) speaks perfect English, except when she can't, is a terrific fighter, except when she is not, etc. Just a mixed up jumble of myths, stories, and stereotypes. Killing Time: With David Wenham, Diana Glenn, John Brumpton, Colin Friels. Paperback and Kindle editions available.I thought the premise of a fay genetic creature bent on vengeance interesting.For the first chapter it held together. This is why I wrote my book, A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons: Everything You Need to Know to Survive and Thrive with a Horse-Loving Kid.Īlso available where all fine books are sold, including Barnes & Noble,, or your local bookseller.

The development of Sephti’s character over the course of the book and the amazing mix of mythologies really sold me on this book.

I’d never read any of Elisa Paige’s work before, but I loved the heroine Sephti in Killing Time. And it’s full of information specifically geared to help you: including how to find a knowledgeable and expert riding instructor, how to help your child ride without having to buy a horse, economical ways to make riding financially possible, what you need to know to keep your child safe, and – also important – how you can enjoy your child’s experience and really connect with him or her through their love of horses.ĭo you know a young person who loves horses and desperately wants to ride? But maybe you’re not sure where to begin… and, especially, how to keep them safe as they learn?Īs the horse-crazy child of non-equestrian parents who meant well but didn’t have a clue about horses, trust me when I say that we made every conceivable mistake under the sun. And as the Mom of a horse-crazy daughter, I understand now what I couldn’t understand as a kid – that parents agonize over how to help their children follow their dreams… even as they agonize over the potential danger of doing so. This paranormal romance/fantasy is a delightful find. A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons has been endorsed by the United States Pony Club and by Young Rider’s magazine, among others.
