Fantastic blend of science fiction and romance,

 Blue Lioness by Vijaya Schartz

I congratulate M S Schartz on her science fiction novel, Blue Lioness, a Chronicle of Kassouk, which includes forbidden romance. She shows her readers the mutants and humans who inhabit New Earth  and star children. After the deaths of the king and queen, Lord Khol, a mutant, usurps the throne and oppresses his human subjects who rebel. Hellion, the heroine, Ariela’s faithful blue lioness understands more than she is given credit for. Her mistress, who suspects Lord Kohl of treachery, is a Commander of the Black Sword Garrison.

Ariela suspects the mutants have created an aggressive breed of blood-thirsty killers, but who can stop the new High King of New Earth? Ariela promised the previous king that she would protect the people of Kasouk regardless of personal cost.

 Starro, is Prince of the Star People who are pacifists but they might have to co-operate with Ariela to defeat Kohl, and Starro wants to help Ariela to triumph over ‘the sea of rotten politicians, selfish humans, liars, criminals an assassins.’

     I highly recommend Blue Lioness.

Rocky Path to Novelist's Successful Publication

  Rocky Path to Publication by Novelist, Rosemary Morris.   Many people daydream about what they would like to accomplish. I am fortunate because my dream of becoming a published historical novelist has come true. Looking back, it seems that since childhood I prepared to share my tales of times past. Maybe, while I was in my cot, a good fairy blessed me with a vivid imagination. If so, it was too lively for my parents, who couldn’t relate to it. They wanted a child with her feet firmly planted on the ground. Instead, my head was either filled with history, make-believe people, or the book I was reading.   So many obstacles intervened between my dream and reality. I have three very painful memories connected with writing and reading. The first, is my mother’s refusal to give me some paper on which to write a story when I was ten years old. The second is of borrowing a book every day from the library, and the librarian’s doubt that I had read all of them. The third ...

More Thoughts About How to Write a Novel

  Thoughts About How to Write a Novel   I can’t remember how many times people have told me they would write a novel if they had time. Serious authors, published or unpublished, find time. It is important to establish a routine. I recommend an achievable schedule, fifteen minutes or more a day, a fixed period at the weekends, or writing a set number of words every day. If you have an idea, don’t dream about writing. Begin with the first sentence and continue to the end. Then revise and edit the drafts until the final one, in the correct format, is ready to submit to an agent or publisher. (Should you be in doubt, pay an editor to streamline it.) If your novel is rejected, don’t be discouraged, either polish your novel or begin a new one. I wrote eight novels before one was accepted. By then, I knew more about how to write. I revised five of my earlier novels, and each year submitted one to the Romantic Novelists Association for a reader’s report. Subsequently each nove...

Love Affair with Writing

  My love affair with history, reading and writing began when I was very young. At five, I agonised over a peasant woman scolding King Alfred for burning the cakes.at a very early age. I agonised over the story of King Alfred burning the cakes. I thought he should be seated on a throne, dressed beautiful clothes, and imagined a gold crown studded with jewels on his head. Aged ten I wept at my image Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, seated on the stairs outside Traitors’ Gate at the Tower of London for fear that like her mother her head would be chopped off.   she would be executed like her ill-fated mother. Later, I thrilled to Elizabeth’s famous speech which began: - I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too . As a teenager I visualised myself in love with a dashing cavalier, who fought for King Charles I of England, and booing Oliver Cromwell, who sanctioned regicide...
