  Discover the lost art of great writing.Since the invention of writing, the written word has fueled humanity's astonishing progress. Thus, the ability to write effectively and beautifully has long been revered and rewarded. Yet, in the digital age, people have begun to believe that this talent is somehow obsolete. It is assumed that writing is something unworthy of study beyond the basic mechanics of vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, and that mediocre prose is acceptable in a world crying out for clear and precise communication. Peter Yang believes otherwise.The Art of Writing is Yang's highly practical treatise on the four key principles of dazzling, effective writing - economy, transparency, variety, and harmony. Far from your garden-variety style guide, the principles in this audiobook apply to everyone, whether you're writing an inauguration speech or a letter home to Mom. Great writing is a skill, and this book gives you the tools to make your words shimmer on the page (or the screen). Packed with real-world insights and advice, The Art of Writing is your ultimate guide to transforming your writing and unleashing your inner artist.Fans of The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr., On Writing Well by William Zinsser, The Little Seagull Handbook by Richard Bullock, and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott will love this book.This audiobook is for anyone who likes to know about: Basics of writingWriting nonfictionWriting fictionSteps to be a better writerWriting styleBusiness writingWriting a book

  THE ENCHANTED GROVE OF LUMINA 
  Book 2 of 6 – The Shadow of Noctis. 
  Following on from Book 1 – The Kingdom of Solara - Love Triumphs 
  King Voltar of the neighbouring Kingdom of Noctis has been insulted as he was promised his son Prince Theron would by married to Princess Elara daughter by King Oberon of Solara. 
  King Voltar declares war on Solara and initially overwhelms the lesser army but Queen Titania's fairy army comes to the rescue and defeats the attackers. 
  In the process she is wounded and King Oberon swiftly comes to her aid despite their long term estrangement and they both realise they still love each other and the two tribes become as one again. 
  This is the second of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second installment, and it's only $3. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, harp, violin, glockenspiel in a classical but uplifting form. The closing music ends the tale on a more restrained note and at about 2 minutes and the same musical instruments but more dreamy and ethereal effect. The actual story runs 13 minutes.  
  Here are the chapters and parts of the story: The Enchanted Grove of Lumina –  
   Book 2 of 6 - The Shadow of Noctis 
   Chapter 1: The Broken Promise Chapter 2: The Gathering Storm Chapter 3: The Forest's WrathChapter 4: The Battle beginsChapter 5: Titania's sacrificeChapter 6: Oberon's realisation Chapter 7: The Turning Poin Chapter 8: ReconciliationChapter 9: A New AllianceChapter 10: A Brighter Future  
  I do hope you and your family, if applicable, enjoy this audiobook, there are a lot more to come!

  I Am the River - Sarah E Ray and...

  I am the river. Blue and green, fast and flowing, 
  sweeping river grasses aside . . . 
  moving between Lake Erie and Detroit. 
   
  The Detroit River has long had a story to tell. It has seen a time before people. And it has seen many faces cross its waters, from Indigenous people guiding canoes to settlers on its banks and freedom seekers riding the underground railroad north toward liberty, with Bob-Lo Island at the river’s end, so close to Canada. At one time, a giant steamboat carried hundreds of excited children and adults to the amusement park that was built on Bob-Lo. 
   
  But Sarah E. Ray discovered in 1945 that not all people were invited on this boat, to this island, once a symbol of the journey to freedom. It depended, she discovered, on the color of your skin. 
   
  This is the dramatic story of how one young woman’s courage could create a dramatic turning point that would stand out proudly, and forevermore, in the history of a river older than the country called America.
